Let me introduce myself

This is now my mantra.

I am an original and I'm about to prove that to myself.

Let me introduce myself. A middle aged (although rarely will I admit this) married (to a much younger man) mother of 3.

My kids ages range from 31 through to 7. Yes I had a major brain fart and there is an age gap of 21 years between my middle child (daughter) and my youngest (son).

I also decided 4 years ago that I was going to turn our lives upside down and change my career. I went from being a COO of a large company to teaching Special Needs kids in a high school(completely insane I hear you shouting). Mad I maybe, but this job is amazing and I love these kids and how they make me laugh every day.

Okay so let's get down to the reason I started this blog. I am also roundly proportioned (as my grandma would say). I never used to be, but unfortunately I have become this person, who inside feels like Elle McPherson (even though I'm about 12 inches shorter that her and my legs only reach my kneed not my neck) but outside looks like Miriam Margolyes. I am now on a mission to lose weight and am doing it with the help of #Michelle Bridges and her #12WBT programme. This is where it starts (even though it's week 4). At the start of my mission I weighed a little over 121kg, after 4 weeks I weigh 111kg so it's going okay.

I have embraced the nutrition wholeheartedly, now I need to do the same with the exercise.

So here it is bloggers and bloggees, my warts and all stumbling through the maze of #Michelle Bridges 12WBT. I hope you enjoy reading!!
