Another beginning

Yesterday I hit 85kgs.

I don't even recognise myself in the mirror anymore.  I've got a double chin and a triple stomach.

I went clothes shopping the other day.  And no, this isn't a story about how I was shocked that I wasn't a size 10.

No. I bought size 16 everything, and size 14G bras.  They are all too-big.  Not hugely too-big. But just a bit too-big.  Like I've given myself room to grow into them.  Like somewhere in my sub-conscious I've decided that the next stop is 90kgs +.

I was on twitter earlier today, and this came up in my feed.  I think it was one of those serendipitous moments, where the Universe sent me what I needed to see.


I showed it to the kids (Miss 8 and Miss 9) and they spent a very happy half hour setting up a training circuit in the back garden.  Then it was my turn.  I did 10 push ups!! Didn't know I had it in me.  They made me do jumping jacks on the trampoline. I managed 40 and I think I might a peed a little (dear god the pelvic floor is going too).  But, today, for the first time in months (okay really years), I moved.

So where to from here?
