It's 6:30 in the morning and I have just completed my very first FBW (Fat Burning Walk). I woke at 5:30 and hit the pavement! Wow! Do I feel the difference. No kids, no hubby, just me and the open road!

This is something I have never done because I never put me first. Now I've completed my walk and am home waiting for the kettle to boil so I can have a lemon water, and no one is none the wiser. I have t interrupted anyone's day! Wow, it is possible. Everything else is just an excuse. 

I need to lose weight and not because I want to wear a bikini or because someone laughed at my jiggly bits, but for my health. I can do this, I can make this change! 

I hope this doesn't sound like a new year resolution, because it's not! I don't like resolutions! This has to be legit. I have to make this work for me to stop my health dwindling, I've been told time and time again, so here I go! 

 

 

Here's my starting digits. I hope that by the end of the month this will be very different! A lot of you may remember my fitness journey, well, I know I can do it ... this is part two! 

Having entered week five of my fitness journey, I am thrilled to see and feel the difference it is making so far!

Have been following or having your own fitness journey?

I have been finding motivating myself a little trickier as the weeks tick by. But creating a space for me in our room allows me to have motivation surrounding me. I have my hand weights and gym ball, a space for my ipad and my inspiration board all there. It helps for when I wake up as it is the first thing I see and it plants the seed early!

Tell me what you do to create motivation in your healthy lifestyle!

My fitness journey starts today!

You may have noticed a new page added to the blog, this is going to be my journal. My theory is, if I have to share it with the world, it will make me more motivated to succeed!

I'm in no way ashamed of my body. I have carried four beautiful children and am proud of who I am physically. But for my own personal goals, I want to be able to lose the weight that I have gained, I want to reach my goals that I have set for myself and I want to live a healthier lifestyle so that I can overcome the dreaded fainting!!!

Join me in this journey and I would love to hear what you are doing too! Let share a love of fitness and lose the weight together!
