Fitness Queen

So I have decided after some inner reflection (hippy much?Actually as a teen I was very hippy-like haha),I have decided that I really,really,really need to start doing something for me!At the moment it feels like my whole life revolves around Steve and his study and job and the girls and whatever they are doing.I love being a wife and mum,don't get me wrong!!!It is always what I have wanted to be and I really do enjoy it!But now both the girls are at kindy I am getting incredibly bored.There is only so much housework,sewing and reading I can do.I kind of feel like because I got married young (18) and had kids young I have kind of always seen myself in those roles and in a way have lost a little bit of who I am.So I am starting to exercise a lot more.I have decided  it makes a huge difference with my mental well being and I really want to be more comfortable in my own skin.Now I know because of my past (eating disorders and a Mum who used to point out my flaws) I need to be careful,but I'm hoping I can do this in a healthy way(also I just had the Mirena taken out-story for another day and probably TMI for some readers-but because in the past I have found eating well and exercising helps with my periods and how utterly horrible they are.For me thats a HUGE part of this).I'm going to try walking around the lake 3 times a week,hopefully with some other lovely women if they want to come,which will fingers crossed provide some much needed motivation :) and will walk around our area the other 3 days and the on Family Day we always do a big walk somewhere.And this is something that is purely just for me,its not for Steve and the girls,just me.

So since Wednesday I have gone for a walk every day and am about to have brekky and bundle the girls up (rain and all!Thank God for double pushchairs and rain covers!) and go for a walk (Oh I have been thinking about building my fitness level up-and getting some weight off,cos if I start running now,my breasts would give me a black eye!and Im hoping to maybe next year do a marathon.Might be a bit optimistic,but I can always dream).

Wish me luck!!!!


I think this is what I wish I looked like exercising!

                                                                                       This is probably more realistic hahaha.Gotta love having curves (my breasts are way huger sadly.you wana know hubbys reaction to me saying I want a breast reduction??hehehe and no stopping breastfeeding did not help!Thank you myths for getting my hopes up!)
