the night before

it starts tomorrow! that it! i have had enough! i will do it! honestly i can! those are the words we all say when it comes to dieting. its always tomorrow, though isn't it funny how tomorrow never comes? well for me tomorrow is very close and after a good nights sleep (baby permitting of course) i will be starting my own diet and exercise regime to loose the pounds gained during and after pregnancy.

i am by nature very lazy! i would rather sit and moan about my weight than do anything about it but i have now decided enough is enough! to bare all and do this publicly i am hoping that with people watching i will be encouraged to stick to it as giving up is not something i like to do in company. i will be sharing my ups and downs, both in mood and weight. if you feel like you could loose a couple of pounds, want to get fit or just want a laugh. join me in swapping healthy recipes, exercise tips and ideas for shedding those wobbly bits. whatever you reasons for wanting to join, wedding, summer holiday, fitness or baby weight, its always easier to do it together. so here goes, the worst bit! the bit ive been dreading but must do. my statistics for all to see.
