I have started using this app again. The last couple of times I used it, several years ago, I became quite obsessed with calorie counting so I'm going to pull the plug as soon it starts happening again.
It's been about a week since my healthy eating resolution and it's been going mostly well. I haven't had any snacks in-between my main meals for about three days and I'm getting used to not having convenient and sugar-filled treats on demand.
I really ought to take a picture of how I look like, and I can hopefully track improvements along the way.
I didn't go for any walks today since the weather has been dreadful, I can hopefully rectify this situation tomorrow...

Return of the blob
So much time ha passed!
I got married, I got a dog, and last but not least I have a 5 month old baby :-)
Motherhood is so incredibly hard, nothing compares to the amount of energy, patience and tolerance to sleep deprivation that you go through every single day.
But my baby is great, every day he learns something new and we just adore him.
Back to the purpose of this blog though... I loved being pregnant, but my weight has ballooned and I need serious motivation to get back into shape.
My labour was horrendous and I've had back problems ever since, which has limited my mobility. It's getting better, but I'm sure losing a bit of weight would speed my recovery.
I don't know how much I weigh exactly, but I still have a considerable protruding stomach and everything is extremely blobbish.
I weighted a gigantic 75 kg 6 weeks after giving birth, and I'm certain I still weigh the same.
These last few days I've been making an effort to eat no rubbish, not snack and eat as healthily as I can. Looking after a baby is extremely hard work and I have no "me" time, but I can still go for walks and try to stay active without the need to go to the gym.
We'll see how it goes!

Norovirus
I am part of a very special club of people in the UK who have caught the horrendous norovirus, go me.
It's in my top 3 worst flu experiences ever (I have a chart, that's how often I get sick), right next to swine flu and some other "epidemic" flu that was blighting the UK when I was 17 ( can't remember the name). What can I say, I like to be part of the spotlight. A flu junkie if you will.
It started Sat night and I'm just about able to type. It was awful.
****TMI alert - you've been warned ****
What is wrong with me? The first time I went to the toilet I didn't know which end should face the toilet bowl (so awful on so many levels) and the pain in my gut... I'd never felt anything like it. But I did think, on a *physical* level, this is what a bulimic that's taken laxatives and is purging feels. I am not talking about the emotional/psychological process, but the actual pain one's body goes through.
And the thought disturbed me greatly. Why did that even pop in my head? It's certainly not a path I want to take (like ANYONE would!), and anyone who has a brain should know it's hard, lonely, not glamorous and not healthy (wow I am doing a great job at starting the obvious here. I should go into politics). I am just so surprised at myself for even thinking that at a time where I was probably at my lowest point physically.
****END TMI****
I am on the mend and I'll go back to work (I need to shower badly though! Must do that now). The only thing that's worrying me is that I am still feeling dizzy and weak, but I can't spend any more time wallowing in my own filth haha!
In weight loss news, well, I'm sure I lost loads but it'll be short-lived, I need to get my energy back. It sucks because I also don't have much appetite still.
So my new year is going excellent so far lol
I have spent my time (in part) reading blogs but haven't been able to comment, I will rectify that soon now that I'm better and have the strength to move my fingers! Go non-debilitating weakness!!!
Love,
S. Xxx

New year. Onwards and upwards?
I wrote this on new year's day but never posted it, I chickened out. But no longer! More up-to-date post to follow.
So, it's officially 2013. Woo hoo!
Last night I went to a posh do with fiancé and some friends, it was really fun! Today I spent the day hungover and feeling pretty low, but it's probably hangover-induced. It's going to be all right.
I just wish I could take some time off work, I haven't had a day off apart from the bank holidays and I am so tired :( I am not looking forward to stomping my way into work in the morning.
Enough of this self-indulgent whining.
It's a new year! I have no new new year's resolutions as I never stick to them, but I will be fit and healthy by September. I don't have a choice, I'm getting married then. I haven't talked about it on my blog yet, but in the spirit of this new year I feel very " fuck anonymity" right now.
So yea, big day is in September, the dress is bought and I absolutely need to look my best.
On a related note, I AM GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR!!
we've been engaged for 1.5yrs but last night after midnight was the first time I could ever say that line lol
May this year be a good one to everyone out there.

Christmas and other stuff
Happy Christmas everyone! I am fashionably late ha ha.
Yesterday went well, gifts were received and given, laughs were had, food was ate, drink was drank. I had a really good day but ate a ton (I sense a reoccurring theme with all my blog posts).
I think I have managed to actually get into a semi-healthy mindset though, and today I ate better than most days this last month, so small victory for me (quickly sabotaged by having a slice of fudge cake.)
There's still a bunch of junk food in the house that I need to get rid of, so I'll be slowly offloading it to unsuspecting team mates in the coming weeks.
Back to work tomorrow, yay! Can't wait.
Hope everyone else had a good Xmas :)

drunk
Ah shit. I am drunk. And I am working at 8 am in the morning. It's currently 00:30.
Fuck.
Great night though. I love my co- workers. Pity I had to leave early. Food intake was awful today. But that's something for tomorrow's Steph to worry about!
Love,
S xxx

Day 4 of operation "Don't be a fat mess".
I prefer this new title *grin*
Meh, I've been failing. Story of my life. I haven't given up yet, but it is so goddam hard when everywhere I go people are offering all sorts of delicious stuff. I don't have that sort of willpower.
Probably heading out for a few sociables this evening with people from work. Should be a laugh but I'm working tomorrow at 8am. NOT fun! But. Fuck it, it's Christmas! Am I right people???
In other news, I have done soooo little work today it's disgraceful. But isn't the point of Xmas to not work very much and get away with it, a few days a year? Jesus would agree, I'm sure.
I have decided to write the fuck out of my novel i.e. Start WRITING again. Has to be done. No one else will do it for me, sadly. So, guys, I'll be tracking my progress here. I need you to nag me if I stop writing lol
If anyone is interested, it's a fantasy novel. It will hopefully become something cool and well written by the end of it. We'll see. Wishful thinking probably...
Thats all from me, so take care folks!
