Starting from Scratch!
It seems like I'm always starting from scratch with my fitness.
I can't seem to find the mojo that I once had, and I know fine rightly why that is - for those of you who have just happened to stumble upon this, or just started following my journey let me tell you what has been going on ...
In 2014 I started working out but not losing weight, on January 2nd 2015 I rejigged my food and I started to lose my weight. Infact, I lost 7 stone in a year - so I know it's possible (difficult yet possible) to lose the weight. As a result I managed to get pregnant (first time in 4 years) with Clomid. Just before 12 weeks I found out the baby died - goodbye mojo for working out and eating well ... August 16th 2016 I found out I was expecting again and this time the baby stuck ... April 2017 Rose was born ... August 3rd 2017 I found out I was expecting again!!! March 2018 Mattias (Matt-eye-ass) was born.
I'm sure you can guess that life has been anything but calm to say the least - crazy comes to mind. I was extatic, elated, over joyed because my husband and I had been able to give our oldest the siblings he had been hoping and praying for, for such a long time.
A few month after Mattias was born I was not doing well at all. I was an emotional wreck and I found it hard to exist. We had a bad day out and it was the day that tipped me over the edge. I was crying off and on for a week when I called my health visitor who set up an emergency doctors appointment and the doctor informed me that I have Post Natal Depression (PND) Let me tell you it is NOT fun at all. I was not feeling things the way I normally would, I wasn't able to take part in being the family, I couldnt do anything around the house - I had no motivation for anything and that included for my workouts and eating. Now in saying that I didn't get any bigger BUT it has hindered me from properly going at my fitness and diet.
Along with my PND (during the beginning of October) I had sinusitis, a chest infection and a horrible cold! It was so debilitating for me and i found it even harder to be 'me' .
I feel a lot better this weekend so I am going to attempt to do a full week of workouts - and if I get the chance to maybe double up with another workout. I'm starting with T25 Betz, alpha is just not taxing enough. I'm also looking at my food and how i can improve that.
The moral of the story is - it doesn't matter how many times you re-start, you are doing better than those on the sofa or those ho won't even attempt to improve their fitness.
I'm going to try and keep you updated every month about how fitness is going, food is going and how I am mentally.
Thank guys for being amazing
