205 - by Katie

I have to confess: I have been extremely slack. I haven't worked out in 2 weeks - first because I was sick, then tendonitis in my wrist... and hey, it was an excuse, so I took it. I've eaten badly, been lazy, and I can feel it.

This morning, I tried to put on a pair of jeans that I bought in March. They were miles too small. I couldn't even pull them up over my butt. I have officially hit "too fat for all my nice clothes". I'm living in leggings and tracksuit pants, and its not even a little bit attractive.

This is not a "poor me" post. I'm not looking for sympathy, because this is my own doing. It is laziness and lack of self discipline, pure and simple. I need to get back on the wagon, start working HARD and eat to match.

205 days until I have an amazing dress to wear. 205 days to get fit and healthy and toned.

I CAN do this!

Sweat that fat away !!!!

1 full hour PT session today, rather than the usual 45 minutes, and my little man joined in as best he could. It was a big cute, seeing him try to do sit ups, especially holding a weight 1/5 his size! He was, however, a great support person, cheering me on as I did sit ups, push ups, squats, burpees, running, boxing, planks, step ups and kicks.

Have you ever seen a 2 year old doing sit ups? VERY very sweet I must say... and he definitely shows mummy up in terms of fitness and flexibility. While I was sweating and feeling like I was about to die, he was giggling, and literally running circles around me. He counted out my step ups, and encouraged "kick, mummy, kick!".

The boxing, while exhausting for my arms, is definitely something I want to keep up with. I'm determined that I will NOT be a bride with flabby arms. Everything else, worst case scenario, can be hidden. My arms, in a strapless gown, cannot.

Well, it took me 3 whole days to recover from my first session. I literally struggled to sit down the next day, and my fiance got a great laugh from watching me sit, stand and walk... Apparently, I looked a little like I had a cactus up my backside.

As of today, I have started a 12 week challenge with some lovely mummy friends. Day one, MAY have been an epic fail. I started off well, with a short walk and a rapid loss shake for breakfast, and some low fat soup for lunch... then followed it with garlic bread, half a block of cadbury Hazlenut, 1/3 of a bag of doritos, and 2 glasses of diet coke. I'm still looking for my will power and self control. I have a feeling they've disappeared...

Tomorrow morning, is PT session 2. Its going to hurt, and I'm probably going to be worked extra hard when I admit to the crap I was eating. Goodness knows how I'll be sitting down on Wednesday - thank god (and my amazingly beautiful friends!) for the massage I have booked in tomorrow afternoon.

I'm going to need it.

Two-fifty-five - By Katie

With just 255 days until "The Big Day", things are getting real. I have a stunning veil, donated to me by a close friend. Another wonderful friend will start work on my dress in just a few weeks. My dress, is amazing... and in order to fit into it, and look good, I need to drop around 20kg.

Today, I had my first PT session, with the lovely Melissa Geddes from Slim Force (find them on FB at https://www.facebook.com/#!/slimforce). I weighed in today at a disgusting 89.5kg, which means I've put on 11.5kg in just 6 months, so I'm very disappointed in myself - but determined that, with Mel's help, and my wonderful fiance's support, I'll get down to my goal. I don't want to be "skinny". I'll never be a supermodel. I DO want to be fit, toned, and healthy. I want to be in the healthy weight range, and feel good about myself. I want to be able to run after my 2yo son without puffing and panting, and feeling like I'm going to die. So here we are. After push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, planking, squats, dead lifts, jogging, and some weird thing where i "sat" against the wall and balanced on one leg, my legs are killing me. I did better than I thought I would, which gives me hope - I'm not as unfit as I believed.

So today - for real - the Wedding Countdown begins. Operation "bye bye fatchick".
