Time to get healthy!

Recently I have fallen into a trap of staying up very late - think 1am - 2am, then getting up at 6.30/7am, and either looking after the boys or going to work.
Then getting through the day on various caffeine infused drinks, and rubbish foods- I tend to eat bad foods if I am tired. And because I am tired everyday, I seem to not be able to drag myself out of this cycle!

It's all very well having all the best cosmetics in the world, that I can apply to the outside, but I need to be able to look after my insides, and my well being too, which is actually far more important- because I have a feeling if I carry on this way, on 5 hours sleep a night, inhaling caffeine to stay awake, and bad foods, well I won't be looking too hot in the very near future.


Already I have seen and felt some rather worrying signs from my body, that indicates things are not right, such as very frequent vertigo, I have several hours of dizzy spells most days, the fact that I can't sleep, I have a nasty rash all over my neck..
Also- other things I am going to do, to look after myself- I shall include here- but basically my aim with this page- is to make myself look and feel healthy inside and out!

2 years ago-just before I fell pregnant with my 2nd son, I was healthy, I worked out regularly, I slept enough, I even had abs to be very proud of.

Hello Flat Tummy- I'm coming to get you again!

I fell pregnant (second time), ate for five (oops), for 9 months, had Baby Noah and lost most of the weight, but have been stuck at least 1 stone heavier than my ideal, for months and months now, as I cannot get out of the rut I am in!


My aim is: 

To lose 1 stone- by eating healthily & sensibly
To always en corporate 2 litres of water into my day- no excuses.
To aim to get 8 hours sleep every night
To exercise at least 4 times a week 
To post a diary on here of my progress

I have this DVD and plan to use it 
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Davina's exercise DVDs are excellent all rounders for getting fit at home, I have her other DVDs and LOVE the variety of exercises on them! Also I like Davina, which really helps.

I am going to get a 2ltr bottle at home and one at work, and make sure that everyday I keep it out on a table, so throughout the course of the day, I will finish it.

I will keep a food diary and post it here, and maybe I can inspire someone?

Every Monday night I shall weigh in and update:)

I plan to post the post in my blog, and link them to this page, so all can easily be found in one place.

My journey starts here- so who's joining me?
