My body

I have always had a booty worth shaking and big thighs to go with it (though not very wide hips, go figure), but I've never minded because i've always had a flat belly with a defined waist! it! I don't have big boobs (which I have always been thankful for) but I am quite broad in the shoulders so all in all, I've never been tiny, always muscly but with that hourglass figure. 

Now I'm Sad! And this is why. . . . .

Ever since having my second baby, I have struggled with the dreaded 'flabby belly' I no longer have a defined waist and feel uncomfortable in most of my clothes! I also have fat arms 'sad face'

Unfortunately, the more I hate my body, the worse I feel and the less motivated I am! 

BUT. . . .I am determined to look good, I have no idea what I weigh as I don't even own scales and to be honest this is not going to be about 'weight' it's going to about fitness (I want to be able to run for 30mins), flexibility (I want to be able to do the splits again and kiss my knees LOL) and last but most certainly not least, It's all about being comfortable in clothes and loving myself again!

Now I LOVE food! I eat pretty healthily really, I have a salad with a bit of protein most days, tuna on grain biccies etc. I rarely eat fried or processed food. I eat about 5-6 times a day, with most of my 'snacks' being healthy options of nuts, fruit, air popped popcorn (No butter), home-made muesli/granola bars etc 

I think my biggest problem with food is not so much 'what' I eat but 'how much' I eat!

As you can imagine, working full time with 2 little ones and MrV doing shift work, fitting in exercise is a challenge! 2 weeks ago I changed jobs which gives me an extra hour in the morning and hour in the evening due to reduced travel time. 

So I started gently by doing Yoga in the mornings and OMG I am sooo unfit and un-flexible hahahahaha! But I feel good doing something and will slowly start adding some cardio. 

My other effort in achieving a healthier, fitter me involves sleeping better. I need to go to bed a bit earlier, I can sleep in a bit later with my new job so I just need to regulate my sleeping so I am not waking so often and getting to sleep quicker!
