So Have you ever had eyestrain? I haven't but I've been experiencing what I think is eyestrain... Its weird though because I'm always on my phone and I've never experienced these eye problems before but lately I can't even seem to be able to look at my phone without cringing and every time I do it almost gives me an instant headache...
Even once I look away everything I looked at was very was hard to see, and my eyes were burning and watering, the worst thing was when I was driving one day and I closed my eyes because they were burning so much and when I opened them I was a hairs breath away from the car in front if me even though my foot was planted on the break, must have let it go a bit without realizing :( That was super scary and the last straw and I was thinking man what is going on with my eyes!!
Then it dawned on me and PING I realised well yes you guessed it, the culprit is the new IOS7!!!!
I downloaded the new iOS seven for my iPhone and all those neon colours and everything being so bright and white has stuffed my eyes up sniff sniff
As much as I love the new seven it is very bad for your eyes so I've turned down my brightness to like really dark and hoping that's gonna help.
I'm Trying to stay off my phone for a week and see what happens and I'm hoping my eyes will resume to their normal happy selves.
Do you guys know if eye strain resolves itself? Or besides staying off the phone as much as I can what other things I can do to help it??
Problem is I do everything on my phone e.g. blogging, email, social networking, bible app, devotions, games and the list goes on!
The GOOD NEWS is that I started doing some exercise!!! So yesterday and the day before that I did sit ups, some more leg exercises and I did my stretching but alas when I got on the scale today I now weigh 78.9!!!!! Eeeeek and AARGH!!
Mind you I did jump on right after breakfast so that can affect things but still that is really crazy cause I was just 76kg not so long ago boo hoo
Take heart I am not deterred I WILL keep going and day by day nick those kilos off :)
I'm hoping to go for a walk this afternoon with the two kiddies because it is a lovely day out there today
God Bless you lovely readers
Ta ta for now
Des makes this exercise thing look easy. Anyone could do it. Two meals for dinner then macdonalds icecream n chocolate for dessert. Followed by some cake which must be for energy for the up coming workout. It's cool cause the workout only took 4 mins. 20 lazy sit-ups and two and a half girl push-ups. No sweat required or desired. Time to stretch n watch a movie. Next week we aim to increase to 21 sit-ups.
Signed Hubby (The Guest)
Ps I'm like seriously ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!!!! (This is from me the flabby Mama)
So here are the revealing photos of the state I've gotten myself into, I'm not proud of it and I'm disappointed that I let myself get here but honestly I am really hooked on food at the moment...
I am breastfeeding but I really don't know if that's a good enough explanation for my hunger because I do get really hungry... I really need to start making the right food choices and I do find that hard because my sweet tooth seems insatiable any tips on how to curb this???
So does that look like a happy Mama or what??!! Yes indeed I'm out with two amazing girlfriends, great chats, great food and great inspiration :)
Now I did say that I'd try to do some exercise but alas it was grand final day here in Australia so we were invited over to my mom in laws to watch the game and have lunch, I'm not into the game but I do like to nibble as you all know so it made for a lovely morning into the afternoon :) Immediately after that we went to visit my mom because she is recovering from an operation and straight after that we zoomed home to get the kiddies in bed before I had to absolutely speed to get ready to meet the girlies because time had gotten away with me...
So I really had little to no time to exercise :( or is that just an excuse??
My well looked forward to night out was VERY VERY VERY GOOD as you can see by the spread above! It was absolutely delicious and these are but a few of the tasty morsels we tried.
We went to a tapas style place called The Cavern in Kalamunda which was cozy and had great service ill definitely be dragging hubby there soon!
We indulged in a yummy variety of truffle chips, gnocchi with slow braised lamb, prawn rice balls, yummy greens, a beautiful crumbed Bree pear and walnut salad and ofcource the best part of all the highlight of the night was my fudge pecan brownie with salted caramel sauce and ice cream, it was so good for the soul!!
It's the weekend so I'm not gonna be too hard on myself and will keep fighting toward fitness tomorrow :)
Good night and God bless
So this is me this morning, yes a picture of sheer beauty tee hee hee
Obviously I've taken a beating from sleep deprivation again little man woke me about 4 times to feed, ah the joys :)
Hence you get to see me in all my unkempt frizz halo glory!
At this moment I'm still in my pj's, chillin on the couch blogging while little man naps and daddy dear takes our 2 yr old who I will refer to as firecracker out for a walk, which is so super nice.
What should we do to take advantage of this wonderful Saturday...
Unfortunately as it seems to happen lately when we have a long weekend dear old hubby who we refer to as Daddy in our household is quite sick with the flu boo hoo
Sick as he is he is still willing to walk the boy which is lovely.
I can tell you with how tired I'm feeling right now anything fitness is really the furthest thing from my mind, but because I have you all watching my every move now (which is exactly the motivation I need, and exactly why I decided to blog my journey) I will get some form of exercise in today so tata for now and I'll keep you posted on what exercise I got up to, with some revealing flab shots so I can see and of course you can see my transformation along the way So God Bless u all, and good day :)
So all my life I can't say I've ever been a "skinny girl" in fact I've always thought of myself as on the bigger side of things, but as the years go by and I look back on previous pictures I actually realize, "GIRL those were your skinny days, that was your prime ah yes those were "the good ol days", and then it hits me IVE TOTALLY LET MYSELF GO...
But that's ok because it know I still have it in me to become even fitter than those coveted "good ol days" because the grass always seems greener right!
So now I have two boys, one spirited, joyful and very funny 2yr and 3mnth old and a little gorgeous, sweet hearted bouncy 5month old and I am just dying in this heavy, slow and cumbersome 77kg body of mine. I did reach the stage where I thought argh why bother getting on the bike for 30min cause what's that gonna do, how long is it going to take to get to where I wanna be physically! So instead I would do what felt good at the time eg pull out the chocolate, cakes, ice cream or whatever I fancied and munch munch munched away, munched myself to thunder thighs, blubber butt and jelly belly whoo hoo
Its time now though, I've decided to just take one step at a time, literally, my plan is to walk this weight away because I can put my boys in the pram and go go go.
Where time and energy permits ill try fit in the stationary bike, wii Zumba, gilad dvd's, Lesley's walking DVD and Pilates DVD.
So today we accomplished a 1hr and 5 minute walk in the beautiful spring sunshine and I feel accomplished :)
So this is me, me at my heaviest, me after having two beautiful baby boys, me fighting An uphill battle with my , this is where my journey from flab to fitness begins so please join me as I fight towards fitness, let's do this thing.
Here's to seeing success one decision at a time, one choice at a time and one day at a time.
My life is busy, my vice is food and my motivation towards skinnydom and fitness is extremely low.
Maybe it's the sleep deprivation or the ups and downs of being a VIP in my household or just plain laziness I don't know, but all I know is that NOW I AM READY so fitness here we come.
