So, I have taken my measurements, which I am not happy with but I know it's a starting place.
My measurements are as follows:

Chest (under bust) 94cm
Chest (across bust) 113cm
Waist (widest part) 115cm
Hips (under c-section overhang) 118cm
Bicep (left arm) 37cm
Thigh (left leg) 65cm
Calf (left leg) 41cm

I will update my measurements every 30 days or so.

I know that I have let my health go astray but now it is time to deal with it. I have a few conditions which make losing weight really difficult. They are PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Hypothyroid & I have chronic nerve pain as well as spine & hip problems. I used to be very active & just before I found out that I was pregnant with my youngest son, I was on target for gaining my black belt in kickboxing. Sadly the pregnancy took much more of a strain on my body than it should have done. I tried getting back into kickboxing but I soon realised that I was able to do pretty much everything in the classes but I would be barely able to move for the next 4 days due to the pain.

I have taken part in Tough Mudder 3 times now and this year's event was to be my very last. It was a memorable way to celebrate my 40th birthday, by getting muddy, cold, wet, squeezed through a very small channel (my personal idea of hell) & electrocuted, as well as many more obstacles. How I managed to complete the 10-12 mile course is beyond me but I did.

I have my brain still thinking that I can do whatever I want when it comes to sports etc. but sadly my body has different views. This is a strange concept to me, as usually people have the physical ability to take on a sporting challenge but their minds tell them that they can't do it. I have to tell my brain to shut up quite a bit, otherwise I do too much, then can't function for days.
