So here I am. I'm at my heaviest weight that I have been for a very long time. A bit of background about me, then we are set to go blogging.
I'm 40 years old, sometimes I feel much older due to pain but mostly I'm mentally in about my mid 20s. I'm a busy my to 3 wonderful boys, aged 16, 11 & 5. My two eldest boys have disabilities & my youngest son is a very active & cheeky beast.
I have always done some type of sporting activity for every decade of my life, until now. I used to be a figure skater as a child, a rugby player in my 20s & 30s, then onto kickboxing from my 30s until a few months ago. Unfortunately I have had to retire from sports like the above due to my health needs. I have struggled with chronic nerve & back pain for the last 16 years & it has steadily gotten worse. Because of this stopping me from talking part in sports & running, as well as the medication that I take for an underactive thyroid and nerve pain meds, the weight has steadily piled on.
My only form of exercise that I can do now, is my beloved DDP Yoga, which I have been doing for a few years now but life got in the way a few times. This is my way of being accountable to myself. I intend to do my DDP Yoga at least 3 times per week. I am also planning on tracking what I eat & drink on the 'Map my fitness' app.
Thank you for reading this far & I hope that creating this blog will help inspire others to lose weight. I'm now off to weigh myself & take measurements of my body, so that I can see any changes in my body shape, even if the scales don't say much difference. I really hate scales lol.
