I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future.

    Name::michelle
    From::victoria, Australia
    I am a mother of 3 almost grown children working full time in our own business. I used to also do a lot of voluntary work. I am an ex secondary school teacher. I have been overweight for the past ten years and have reached a stage in my life where I don't want to put up with it anymore. I have been so busy being wife, mother, boss, helper that I seem to have lost myself. Coping with one crisis after another without complaining but always turning to food for comfort. I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future. Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me. It is time to feed my soul not my body.

    A GLIMMER

    Thanks for all the well wishes. This bug is lingering on but is definitely not as bad as earlier in the week. Took myself off to training this morning and no one was there! Haven’t been to any of these sessions all week but I did ring and leave 2 messages that I would go today. So I went for a short 2km run/walk and then did my grocery shopping.  Due to my cold and bad back this week have had reduced exercise. Nothing since the 1000 steps on Sun then I went to the gym on Thursday and did step class which this week incorporated weights. Great workout but not great for my sore back afterwards. Then I also did a 35 min walk/run on Thurs and Friday. Had a massage yesterday but doesn’t seem to have helped my back any. One good thing though was that when I told the masseur how much weight I lost she said she couldn’t believe it because I was so toned and didn’t have any saggy skin!! Now I am sure she was just being nice and she wasn’t massaging the overhanging tummy but still felt good to hear comments like that.
    I am both dreading and looking forward to the run tomorrow. I feel like one of the people from the Biggest Loser and this is a challenge that is a metaphor for my life. If I can do this I can do anything! Each of these challenges is a new benchmark of a new me and the new life I am forging for myself. This is something my family don’t get and I guess I don’t talk about it much. But you bloggers do and that is why I can do this with your support, Thanks guys.
    I went and weighed in this morning and had another loss. The figure on the scales is lower than I have ever been in about 10 or more years. I am doing a lot of thinking about this  and am beginning to see a glimmer that maybe I can get there and reach goal and beyond………
    I will be setting myself some new mini goals to help me get there.
    Have 5 minutes at home then start the mums taxi service for the day. A night at home to realx and think about tomorrow then the big event, I will be back tomorrow to tell you all how it went. Fingers crossed for an improvement in the weather.
