Hello blog world!
Took the step of getting my confidence back and growing it further by rejoining Weight Watchers today. I was doing teh programme last year before I fell pregnant. Suprising enough I actually didn't put on too much weight while pregnant. About 14 kilos. A week after Olivia was born I had lost 10 kilos (got to love fluid!). Anyhow, as I hadn't reached goal before falling pregnant, I want to now.
My efforts doubled now. I have a negative body image. There isn't a lot I like about me. I now have a beautiful girl. I don't want her growing up with a negative body image and all the other neuroses and hangups that I have. Step one - I need to change now. I know I will be more confident when I lose some weight and become fit and healthy therefore being the best role model for Olivia that I can be.
My starting weight is 85.7kg. Among my first challenges; to get my portions back under control! To start moving more and to reach 81.4kg which is 5% off.
My main goals will be to get my weight down to

04.10.2010 My first blog ...
Hello Blog World!
I am finally getting around to doing something that I have often thought about doing but never did. Joining the cyber world and blogging my thoughts, events, debacles and anything else that makes up my life.
Who am I? That's a good question really. I am on a never ending quest to work that one out.
In the meantime I am a new mummy. I have a seven week old baby girl named Olivia. Olivia is a beautiful little angel who has come to us. I have a gorgeous husband, Scott. We have been married for 5 years and have been together nearly eleven years. Scott is my everything.
I am currently on maternity leave for a year from Woolies where I am (was) a Store Services Mgr. I loved my job. Not a huge fan of the stress that can sometimes come with the job. While I am (was) missing work I am not missing the stress and crap that seemed to be happening on a very regular basis. Some would say that I am over committed to my job. It did take a fair whack of my time. Truth be told, I was happy with that. It allowed me to escape from the real world where I don't have that all inspiring confidence to surge on forward. Allowed me to protect myself from being hurt.
So, on maternity leave with a brand new baby. So far it has actually been really good. Olivia is a gorgeous little girl and mostly is a happy contented bub. I have been fortunate to get her into a flexible routine which we wake, feed, play and sleep. Scott and I (even though it seemed cruel) fingers crossed have taught her to self settle so hopefully this will carry on through. We still have our grizzly moments. Usually in the late afternoon and early evenings - right on getting dinner ready and daddy coming home from work!
That was just a little blurb of whats happening. I am sure you will get to know me and all my bits and pieces. I am at a perfect place in my life to evaluate who I am, where I want to be and how I am going to do it. Should be a fun ride!
Talk later, Anna
