Back in the saddle

Hi folks!
Back in the saddle after years out! Well let's recap a bit, lost loads of weight and in October 2011 got down to my goal weight 64Kilos or 10st1lb! straight after LITERALLY we discovered I was pregnant! Great joy of course at it had been one of the motivations for dieting.

But now, 18 months and one bouncing baby later, I now tip the scales at a massive 83Kilos! That's 13 stone for my UK readers! Ouch!

So here I am back on the blog, which was motivating and fun and kept me focused.

Just thinking about what I have to change...

Portion sizes- they went out of the window with the pregnancy! I had nausea all day every day and the only way to keep it at bay was to eat...(that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

My new hobby- cake baking and making! just have to be careful about scaping the bowl, and giving my creations away!

Drink more water, and thus less tea/coffee which call out to have biscuits dunked in them...

EXERCISE the big one, with a new baby it hasn't been easy to find time to get off my butt and out of the house, but I promise now I'll start going for a brisk walk with the pushchair every morning. I did a salute to the sun the other day and felt like I'd been run over by a truck the next day!

I am still breastfeeding, and would like to continue for as least another year if possible, and I am worried that cutting down my calories will reduce milk production, we'll have to see about that.

Ok, so here goes, I'm aiming to lose 19 kilos, which is 3 stone, I reckon I should give myself a year, so that for my 42nd birthday I'll be on form!
