My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Wake up call

Today i had a nasty shock, i went in to the wardrobe and tried on some of my lovely clothes that i havent worn since last summer. they did not fit, i could barely squeeze in to them

I know my weight has been slowly creeping up while ive been in active due to the studying marlarky, but i hadn't realised just how much. i could have cried ive got one pair of 3/4 length trousers with eleasticated waist that are a little on the big side.

Since ive not been any where to get dressed up for a while ive been living in jogging bottoms and baggy tops and this probably why ive not noticed my clothes have stopped fitting me. 

im off out on wednesday for lunch with my sister (a salad me thinks now) and i had wanted to wear some of my nice summery clothes.

I feel so horrifed at how ive let my self go. Today i started my exercise regime by walking 1 mile in total . i walked down to the butchers and fruiters and ive got the blisters on my feet to prove it.

How on earth am i going to manage the race for life and the great north walk next month.

Tommorow once the house work is done im going to get out my 'janice battersby ' exercise dvd, then see how i feel. Ive pulled my ab curler from the top of the wardrobe and im going to tackle at least 50 curls before bed. Im also going to start on the tred mill on thursday.

When i do my shopping for next week im going to make sure ive got plenty of healthy food on the list.

Im hoping by the time arrive in Paderborn on the 1st of August i might have lost at least 1/2 a stone.

When i was last this big and went on a diet i managed to lose nearly 4 stones so im hoping losing 3 will not take over a year like it did last time. I also gave away all my big clothes as i never thought i would need them.

Im determined and i mean determined to get back to wearing all the lovely clothes i have in my wardrobe.

wish me luck

Good luck!
