Zumbathon

This pass Saturday I did the 3 hour Zumbathon, for ECR Toy Story. We Raised about R6000 and about 5 black bags full of toys for the children for Christmas.

It rained the whole week, and we were hoping mother nature would be on our side, no such luck, it rained on Saturday as well.

we had about 50 odd Ladies there,it was great fun, it was a double bonus, it was for a great cause as well we got a workout too.

I didn't go weigh this weekend as I had to be at the rugby club at 7:30am. So but I will be weighing in this Saturday Morning.
I am getting bored, I am trying to come up with new recipes and push pass this point, as this is the point where I would normally throw in the towel and give up.
And I refuse to give up. I will lose the weight I need to lose.

So until next week.

So far a Total loss of 5.4 kg’s……

Well the past 5 weeks, I have lost a total of 5.4kg’s, this weekend the wheels fell off, but I am back on track again.  I heared a very good saying today, “a runner can’t run while looking be hide him, he looks forward.” So what is done in the past is done, and no use looking back all the time, as it is going to slow or stop us from moving forward.

Got 3 hour zumbathon this Saturday, to help raise money for ECR Toy story and get fit at the same time. One doesn’t have to do all 3 hours, you can do as much as you want and stop and start as well. Looking forward to it. Hope to get the energy levels up and the weight down some more too.

For some reason this week has been hard claiming back on to the wagon.

But I am taking one day at a time. I like get the weightless e-club newsletters and I saw the success stories. Blow away on the amount of weight people have lost. And yesterday on my way home, hear Jane lanely Thomas talk about her 18 kg weight loss. It can be done.

Good luck and chat soon.

Yummy mummy.

Saturday’s Weigh In…. 2.4 kg loss

After the week I had, I didn’t want to face the scale. But I am glad I did. I got a very super surprise when I saw I had lost 2.4kg’s!!!.  I must confuse I was about 80% good last week and didn’t expect such a great lost, especially since I was pumped full of Meds after the D& c and having the flu.

Every gram down for me is a victory and a step closer for me to being healthier for me to have my baby number 2.

I am feeling better. And I hope this week is a good week too. I can feel in my clothes are feeling loose and I am drinking all my water. I am waking up in the morning feeling a lot more refreshed and fill of energy.

I haven’t started exercising yet, but I plan to start this weekend.

Remember

“Fail to plan, plan to fail.”

A lost….

I know I am a very bad blogger. My aim in for once a week, to Blog if I can do more I will.

These past few weeks have been really hard for me. I had a miscarriage, I found out on Friday the 7^th October that the embry0 didn’t survive and died at 7 weeks and 6 days. Not sure why, and the test that were done had no answer either.

It has been an emotional week and a half. I have my good days and bad.

you see:

We found out when I was first pregnant with my daughter we found out that I am O negative, and my hubby is O positive, so once I had my daughter I had to have an anti-D injection, as my daughters  blood was tested and hers was positive, so I was given the injection to stop my blood making anti-bodies against O positive blood. Here is a website link which explains it better. http://pregnancy.about.com/od/rhfactor/a/Rh-Factor-in-Pregnancy.htm

So when we went at 7 wks. And 2 days everything was fine and I had the odd brown discharged which I have had before, but last week Thursday I was feeling achy, had abit of a fever and had lower back pain. And wasn’t happy something felt a miss. And that is why I went into see him. And there was no heart beat and it only measured 7 wks. 6 days, so It died before 8 wks. He also checked for blood flow and there was no blood flow going to the embryo either. So he booked me in for that Friday evening, 5pm I was in theatre and had the D&c.  And was released about 2 or so hours later to go home. Once I had gone to the loo and had eaten. I was in a lot of pain on the weekend, my body was very sore and everywhere . It felt like I was in a wrestling match and came off 2nd best.

I had my check up and the Dr seemed quite positive that we will be able to have another baby.  And is happy with everything too.

I am quite scared to try again, in case it happens again. But in the meantime while I let my body heal, I am making sure I take care of myself over the next few months to get all fit and healthy for when we try again.

+ Positive Pregnancy Test Result.

What a feeling!!, Hello yes we are excited and scared, wondering what have we done???

Yippy Mamma Bear is Pregnant for a 2^nd time.  I have had my sups ions for a few days now, but need the confirmation first. We found out on Saturday, with a home test and then off to the path lab, to be 100% sure with a blood test. And it was positive.

Now we are all very happy and taking things easy, making sure I still eat healthy just now, on the different end of the scale baby’s health is the important issue here.

Mamma bear ( me) not doing to great caught a cold, so trying to get rid of it without taking meds, all I am allowed is panado, saline spray for the nose and a special cough spyry you can take when you preggies.

Well I type this blog, I feel absolute crap. But can’t let too much no, as work has no idea what is going one, we waiting until 12 weeks, before we tell my work.

I am hoping things will improve as the weeks and month more along. Otherwise it is going to be a very long 9 months for sure.

I got a healthy eating plan designed for pregnant woman.

I know this is a speed hump in the road, but now this blog as a different angle on weight gain and weigh loss.

Believe you I learnt my lesson in my first pregnancy, and I still have 7 odd kg’s of that pregnancy still on me.

I hope you will stay and share my new journey with me, a slight detour but at the end we will met up with the weight loss highway we all travel on.

I saw this and wanted to share with you:

“Chocolate Mousse or Skinny Jeans – You decide?”

Cheers for now.

Allergic reaction

Well Yesterday, I went and had blood taken, 5 viles later. To try and find out what is causing these allergic reactions.  They said it will take a week to get the results, so fingers crossed that I can get some answers.

Been suffering with this on and off now since 2006. As it is irregular,so it has been and is hard to pin point down from what. I know certain meds I can take, but it happens even if I haven’t take those meds. I am left with more Questions then answers.

And the Doc said there is a 50/50 chance we will find out or not.

So here is wishing me luck.

Will keep you posted.

Weight loss

On the total AWESOME side of things I have lost a total of 5.8kg’s so far. My CM’s I still have to measure but I am so happy I could SH$% rainbows. ;-)

Still lots to go, but baby steps and we will get there. Taking each day, and each meal at a time.

My Microwave is dead, so I am now using my 2 layer steamer, which is okay, just a pain to clean.

Made such a nice vegetable pizza, last night, with loads of vegetables, I tend to just “fry” more like boil, my mushrooms with abit of water to help the cooking process along, before putting them on the pizza. It was so yummy. And had none of those  unhappy feelings afterwards either.

Until next time.
