First Post

Well, time to start my own blog'. Since I've been on my weight loss journey I've read some really great blogs and they've all inspired me in one way or another.
I'm not following any particular plan at the moment!!! Weightwatchers hasn't really been a long term thing for me over the past 18 months. Although it did work for me to loss all the weight in the beginning, so I won't knock the programme completely!!

My eating is really out of control at them moment. Several reasons why....

• Began full time teaching again in April this year - love it but its really stressful.
• Began a new relationship in June this year ..... love him to bits, but I find I'm not putting any time into my exercise or proper eating.
• Financial stress - just not enough money on a single income to pay all the bills - lucky my parents are able to help me out occassionally.
• My 4 year old son has special needs - nothing that has been diagnosed - just a major developmental delay. He has only just begun talking and calling me Mummy after all this time.
• And last but not least the infamous ex - father of my two children. He has the children every second weekend and every Tuesday night. There has been a lot of water under the bridge!! Our communication is fairly non-existant. Hes particularly grumpy with me at the moment because of the new boyfriend!!

Fortunately I've got two weeks holiday - the last week is taken up with professional development for 3 1/2 days - bummer. But some time off is better than no time at all. At least I get to spend time with the kids and catch up with some friends.

Today's plan is washing and shopping for veges and fruit. May go over to the boyfriends house with the kids....they have only met him three times. He doesn't stay the night when the kids are here - my choice!! Hes not particularly happy with it, but hes still hung around so I must not be all bad!!

Oh and my eating and exercise........work in progress.....hope to get out for a walk today - one child in the pushchair and the other on her bike!! Food - have had a V this morning - sugar free and half a bagel with lite cream chees and strawberry jam, and 4 crackers and cheese. Strange combination I know. And on that note here ends the first post may update later.
