I did it!!

Today i went for my first gym workout in 3 1/2 years!
I got my key yesterday and made the time to go this morning :) my program isn't ready yet so i didn't know how to use any of the machines, but went and worked my ass off on the elliptical trainer. i used to be able to do 20-30 mins no sweat but was pretty damn proud of my 15 and then 10 minutes bursts today :) 260 calories burnt in 25 mins is pretty good in my book!
I am not a sweater, never have been but man oh man did i sweat today!

today is day 5 of the healthy eating regime to and i am doing really well :) today is the first day i have managed to not let a crumb of gluten pass my lips. Each day this week i have snuck a bite of a muffin or a fork of noodles etc, but not today!!! MAJOUR hurdle to overcome for me :)

Day 1 and day 2

So im almost at the end of day 2.

Yesterday went really well!
i went back to my breakfast smoothie instead of toast and then my family and i went for a big walk to the river and back again. about 70mins walking all up i think. We had a picnic lunch down there and i had my fav rice crackers in the world SAKATA balsamic vinegar and roast tomato flavour, with shaved ham, cheese and cherry tomatoes :)

Dinner was where i came undone a little. Dreaded AF turned up in the afternoon and i was all sore and crampy and Rob was on dinner patrol. we tried out a new gluten free pasta we hadn't tried before and teamed it with olive oil, slow roasted cherry toms and garlic/onion/basil. topped it off with my fav Minoo lemon sorbet. because i wasn't feeling well i didn't work out the calories until AFTER i had ate it, and the new type of pasta had HUGE calories. so i was 140c over yesterday. wont be having that pasta again, or will be having a way smaller portion than normal next time.

The scales were very good to me this morning anyway though! the 400g Ive gained in the past month has disappeared, even though i have AF at the moment and am all bloaty!

Today i have been good, breakfast smoothie for breakfast, apple and water for morning tea, crackers with ham cheese and tomato for lunch, and will be having Thai green curry ( homemade) for dinner :) my only down fall was an oreo with my coffee at afternoon ea time (DAMMIT) i couldn't resist it in the cupboard, even though i knew it had gluten in it and was bad for me. but onwards and upwards!

Lets start at the very begining...

.....a very good place to start.

Well here i am. Embarking on this journey for the billionth time, but the last time.
I am very to get fit, to get healthy, and to get my sexy back.
I am tired of feeling horrible, self conscious and unmotivated.
I'm tired of having nothing to wear, yet a closet full of gorgeous clothes that are too small.
I'm tired of being the "fat chick" amongst my friends.
I'm tired of feeling guilty about how little exercise i do and what i put in my mouth.

So it all changes here.

I am gluten intolerant and yet i have been binging myself with gluten for the past few weeks. Enough is enough i am ready to do this.
