I woke up through the night & as soon as I stood up, the room started spinning & I felt ill.
For up at 7am to get Alex ready for school & I was no better.
Couple of rushes to the toilet & I couldn't stop hurling.
Nigel had to go for his rehab appointment for his heart & couldn't postpone it.
I rang the school & explained that I couldn't drive Alex to school & settled on the couch.
About 30min later I had to ring my mum - "mum can you come & look after me?"
Mums are so great when you feel sick.
Alex was wonderful & fed breakfast to his 2 little brothers.
Mum arrives, with some good medicine for me & decided that I was suffering from a sinus attack because my face is very sore.
She also got Alex & Sam to clean up their room - bonus!
I hate being sick, the day is wasted :(
I think I've also put my hip out with my hill walking - I feel like I'm falling apart today.
I didn't drink nearly enough water yesterday & I'm a bit apprehensive about having too much at the moment incase I get sick again.
I just have to make sure this doesn't throw me & put me back into bad habits again. I have to make sure I don't get into the "it's not going to work so why bother?" mindset again.

Week 1 weigh in & measurements
The big day.......the first time I've weighed myself without "being on a diet", just exercise & trying to make better decisions.
1.5kg gone, -4.5cm from my waist, -4cm from my hips & -1.5cm from my thighs.
I have to say I am pretty damn happy with that!!!
Actually, I'm quite proud of myself!!!
My goal is 100kg, or a size 18. A 16 would be great, but I'll take it 1 step at a time.
Yes, I know that won't put me at the correct BMI, but to be honest, 70kg is just not a weight I can sustain.
I was 80kg in high school & a size 14.
The Plexus Slim "pink drink" is making me feel great! I am no where near as 'hungry' as I was 1 week ago. Normally I'm STARVING by 11am, today, I didn't have lunch until 2pm & to be honest, I ate too much because I'm over full!
My problem is that I have to recognise when I'm full & stop, not continue to eat just because it's there.
So if I continue to lose 1.5kg a week, I could be at my goal weight in 16 weeks. It may take longer, but I'll keep at it!
I'm not drinking red wine......my beloved red wine, I'm not really missing it.
If I want something, I'll have soda water with some fresh lime juice, a bit of vodka added if I feel, but it's not something I'm worried about. Water is my dink of choice now. I'm not even craving diet coke the way I was 1 week ago.
I'm waking up with energy, ready to start the day!

A little about me
My name is Bec. I'm a 36 year old married mum of three gorgeous little men. My boys are currently 7 years, 3 years & 15 months old.
I'm also 124.5kg & that would make me obese, maybe even morbidly obese.
I've tried every fad diet & exercise machine out there, like most people I suppose.
I've lost weight, felt good, then regained it & felt bad again. I think the most I've ever lost was about 10kg & that was after the birth of our second son.
I've been walking Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays with my neighbour for about 6 months now off & on. We go for an hour usually - her pushing her 2 year old on his bike, me pushing Benji in his pram while walking our staffy & the eldest 2 on bikes & scooters.
There is a steep concrete road up a hillside that I've been looking at & thinking "it would be so good for me to be able to walk up that".
2 weeks ago I decided to give it a go - I got 1/4 the way & that was it, not bad when pushing a 14kg baby in a pram though.
Looking from the bottom up
Anyway, 1 week later, I got to the top!! I had to stop 3 times, but I still did it!!!
Today, I only had to stop once, although my lungs felt like they were going to explode!!!
I am soooooo proud of myself! Every part of me aches, but it's a good hurt you know :)
I've taken to walking about 5 days a week for the last 2 weeks & it's staring to show I think.
I've also been taking "The Pink Drink" made by Plexus Slim each morning for 1 week & tomorrow is weigh in day.
I'm feeling fantastic & I'm sure my stomach & hips are smaller.
So overall, I just want to be a healthier, happier mummy & wife.
I want to be able to run around with my boys & to "feel" better about myself......maybe then I will have some self-acceptance.
