well i must say its been a longgggg time between posts, yes Ive been pretty slack in this area, but this doesn't mean my efforts have been slack.... I decided, along with hubby, that our lifestyle isn't and hasn't been doing us any favors, so off to the Dr we went, then off to a dietitian and a diabetes specialist as we both have diabetes in our families, we've headed the warnings and taken the advice that's been given and both made major lifestyle changes over the last six weeks, and we've both lost a total of 8kg (each) to date. I must say I'm very proud of myself but I'm doubly proud of Jase, he's never been a fan of the healthy lifestyle, healthy eating or exercise and here he is putting it all into practice, for me i think its the fact that were doing it together, the support is great and is making all the difference! No doubt Christmas time will bring its challenges, but I'm sure I can adapt some of the Christmas recipes and make them healthier.
Ive taken a different view point on things, I'm NOT on a diet, so I'm not looking at this as a short term thing that will come to an end, this is our new lifestyle, were putting in place and learning new habits that will benefit our health and the weight loss well that's a bonus.... hopefully this will be a positive thing for the kids to, so that when there grown they (hopefully) wont face the same battle with the scale as we have.
