The start of phase 2!!! What am i getting myself in to?

Why hello there followers and people who just click on my page randomly, how are we?
So i have forgotten how many weeks its been since i have quit smoking but i am sure we have passed the 2 month mark. Wow its been hard. Its amazing to think about how much can happen in 2 months.
On the 8th of April 2010 i became a parent again. At 9:50am, Phoenix Henry Arthur Finney was brought into the world by Sandy at the Tweed Hospital. It was a quick birth (As Always) but it wasn't that day that became the stressful one, It were the days to follow.
The days before Phoenix's birth, N and i spoke about what was to happen when the day finally arrived and we made a plan. My plan was to be on holidays and stay at home with the other kids for a few days while N was in hospital. This was great. Good plan...so we thought. My mum had agreed to come down and stay with me and the 2 little ones for a few days, just to help out around the house to make it easier on N when she got home but the thing is... N didn't come home, not for 8 days. Phoenix was suffering from severley jaundiced. Wow, talk about hard. It was rough on me at home and i can only imagine how hard it was for N in hospital. Hospital food and hospital beds. She even awoke one night to feed and on her way down to special care, slipped on one of each of her shoes. One thong and one slipper. Atleast she got the right feet. Between doing the kids runs to school and kindy, 2 trips a day to the hospital and then the witching hour i was challenged. This really tested me and i tell N that i give her all credit as this is what she does all day every day while im at work and i agree with you here... YES you do have the hardest job in the world...lol
Through all this, i stuck to my no smoking but i failed in another area. 2 things took a beating. 1 was my pocket and the other was my weight. It was quick, it was convenient so i spent the money and got the take away and i can tell you now that over that time i added about 5kg's to my weight. So this blog is to tell you what i plan to do.
I plan to loose weight. I have set a goal and a time frame of how long i have to do this.

My Starting Weight - 111.7kg's

My Goal Weight - 90kg's

So what do you think... Thats a total weight loss needed of 21.7kg's. Lets say, i want to achieve this in 3 months. Lets see how i go. I will update once a week with my weight but will blog throughout the weeks with how i am feeling and what i did to help achieve my weight.
New me... Here i come.

Till next time people,


Take it easy.
