So it begins!

A little bit about myself:
My name is Kerry, I am married to a wonderful man named Daniel and we have three gorgeous kiddies together.
Charlotte is 4, Annabel is 2 and Alasdair is 2 months.
Our little family is totally and utterly complete.
We live in Sydney about 20 minutes out of the city, we love our lives here and are really happy with our lives as a whole in general.

I have a few issues that I am trying to overcome with my weight, health and appearance.
I have lived with these issues for most of my life and realise now that it is time for me to reclaim my life back. I need to be a good role model for my children and I need to start with these issues first.
Whilst I have no obvious health issues, I get very out of breath fast and am getting pain in my back a lot now. I need to get on top of these before they get any worse and I need to make sure that I get no other health issues. I need to be totally healthy to be there for my babies.

I have tried many many things to get on top of my weight and most work in the beginning but I always seem to relapse, I get over trying to think of new exciting healthy foods to make etc. I am hoping that with this program the meal plans will get me inspired and will take some of the hard work deciding what to cook  away from me.

I am looking forward to having exercise plans to follow and have also addressed some of the issues that I had making up excuses not to be active and exercising.
I have recently acquired a treadmill so that I can walk in the house whilst looking after my children, this can now be done rain, hail or shine. I have also purchased the Michelle Bridges DVD's so that I can mix my workouts up.
I have got myself a heart rate monitor watch that will keep an eye on my heart rate and will also count the calories that I am burning during my workouts, hopefully seeing the calories being burnt will be a huge motivation for me to keep going.

I have started to buy lots of extra fresh fruit and vegetables so that if I want a snack I have lots of healthy options to choose from. This is going to be so much better for myself and my family, for my little girls that like to have snacks during the day there are good nutritional options and for my son whom I am breastfeeding, fueling my body better is going to be so good for him.

I have a target of hitting at least 2 litres of water a day, I will no longer be purchasing any other drink options. The choice is water, water, water or water. I need to drink better, water is not only better for me it helps with my milk supply for Alasdair.

Better head off for now, my children need bathing and to get ready for bed.
Will be back tomorrow to address my next 2 tasks.
