Accountability 101

I have been quite slack with my blog posts lately as with my weight loss, you know how it goes, life has been busy and I just cant be bothered. However I have been following a friend of mine on her blog and it has inspired me to review my goals of weight loss and fine tune it into smaller goals, some even really petty goals but I think this will work well in giving me a sense of achievement. They are as follows, the reason for me including the time goals are because I have yet to properly stick to a diet for 7 days in my life, sad face so here goes. Here are my current stats on my fatness.

Bust:               107 cm

Time to Get Back on The Horse

Well ladies,

I am now seven weeks post breast reduction surgery and am a very happy lady. My nipples are so perky and I can look at bras in a way that I haven't been able to in such a long time. I went shopping and bought some sexy playboy ones which I haven't owned in my life, and one of those sexy corsets I have never fit into those. I really like the way my boobs don't hang so now you can see my waste.

Although eating wise I have been very slack so the other day I went and bought a book about the Dukan Diet. Its quite interesting and promises to be the miracle so we will see. When I have read enough to know what to go shopping for I am going to start so should be in the next few days. And last week I was officially given the ok to start exercising so am looking forward to feeling strong and free of pain (I hope).

Wish me luck

Little tender these days

Well ladies, it's been a week since my surgery. I am very very happy with my little boobies. I am surprised though at how little dressings and pain killers I am needing.

I went in for the surgery early in the morning, don't you hate the waiting period before you go into the theatre looking at food magazines while fasting, lovely. After surgery I woke up with the worst head ache and you know I was really disappointed I thought that they would be gone. So for the next few days I was nauseous and vomiting for the next few days.

Finely on the day to go home it started to pass thank god, and just before my darlings came to pick me up my drains were removed which if you don't know go either side on the edge of each boob, very gross and a little uncomfortable to remove.

Over the last week I have been quite surprised at the lack of pain I've felt. After about three days from hospital my strong pain killers ran out and I began pharmacy grade pain killers. My only problem is that I have to sleep on my back so needless to say my sleep hasn't been the best, sad face.

Had my dressings changed yesterday, I'm thinking about light treatment and medical silicon patches in a few weeks time when they heal, well food for thought.

Yours till next time

Nerves, Nerves and More Nerves

Oh my, 3 more days to go until my breast reduction surgery. Yay and Screams of fear. Today I went to the bra fitting place and picked up two surgical bras for after my operation and my recovery, and discovered they have these wicked gel pads that you can put on the scars once they have healed that is supposed to reduce the bumpy and visual appearance of the scars. Might have to go back and get some of those. 

I also went to the anesthetist today for my pre operative appointment and to pay, sad face. I have been sick for about two weeks and lets put it this way I have the worst voice and sore throat at the moment and she is not happy. I have been given some kick ass antibiotics that will hopefully get me ready in three days, cross fingers. However if I am not OK by Friday the operation will be rescheduled. I have not been this sick in so long and I am having migraines again which I cant decide if its the boobs of the bug.

Oh well I guess I will have to leave it up to fate and see what happens. I do hope it goes ahead despite my nerves as I definitely know its something that I want to do. 

So nervous though. Which is unlike me I am not normally one to shy away from a challenge or even be afraid I am normally going at 100miles an hour. Oh well maybe its age. Haa haa.

Hope your journey to your dreams is coming along nicely

Yours Until Next Time

It Figures...

Well Friday past, was my day that I was scheduled to cut out all pain killers with any sort of anti inflammatorys. It is recommended before an operation to cut it out two weeks before as some medications within anti inflammatories can thin the blood stream and cause complications. However, unfortunately for me Friday would be the day that my body is riddled with the worst Migraine in creation. I have literally been asleep for two whole days straight and wallowing in my self pity. On the upside, the anesthetist has agreed that in moderation I can keep the pain killers, Yay, little happy star jumps for me. Unfortunately the scales are no lighter today for all my troubles and the house is a disaster zone.

I also decided a few weeks ago that I would put up a sign at the local community notice board to start a free walking group, looking for other mums or women with kids, dogs or schedules that didn't fit around a gym, looking for some like minded ladies to go exercising with. I haven't had much response but I figured being part of this would give me a sense of accountability and motivation to drag my ass out of bed. Well Good News!! Today a lady called me and we start in a few days, isn't that great. I am now committed at least once a week to burn off some of this booty.

My breast reduction is twelve days away now. In a way I feel like an active exercise schedule will be a waste of time when so soon I am going to be bed ridden and recovering from surgery, but then I figure it might make my body a little fitter and able to handle the surgery. If it doesn't die of shock.  Jokes aside ladies, I hope your journey to your dreams is progressing nicely.

What little burdens and blessings have come your way and what new changes do you have in mind this week?

Yours till next time

Impending Detox from Pain Killers

Three weeks Ladies and Gents until my life changes forever, however two weeks before my operation I have to stop taking all pain killers so it doesn't affect my anesthetics during the operation. Needless to say a point in my life I am not looking forward to.

Since I have stopped seeing the specialist ie; acupuncture, massage, physio and chiro I have felt my back getting tighter and tighter. Sore in places that don't even make sense, like down my arms and the muscles at the end of your spine near your butt. I have high hopes that the Breast Reduction will eleviate that pain. My plan of attach is to have the operation, recover, work hard to build strong muscles and go back to the specialists so that they can finally repair the damage to my nerves and muscles without further pressure for large breasts.

For now, I have cut out my energy drinks, which for me is a big step. Needless to say I am very tired at the moment but one week and going strong. Yay. I have also stopped buying junk food for the house, fresh fruit and vegetables for our family. I really want to reduce the amount of stuff that shouldn't be coming into our bodies. Encourage clean eating, no preservatives and colours. However this means retraining myself to be rewarded by something other than chocolate :( and to comfort myself with something other than chocolate :(

Its a long journey but we will get there. What small changes are you going to make this week to get yourself closer to the person you want to be?

Till next time

The Clock is Ticking

Good day ladies,

Just a quick one today ladies.

Well the clock is ticking, not long now. I am so excited, every time I walk past a lingerie shop I am thinking about all the possibilities that will soon be open to me. I cant wait to go shopping. I still have a lot of pain though. I really hope that the operation fixes the problems with my back. The surgeon seems to think so but we will see.

I have paid the surgeon fee the other day, its finally organised and the clock is ticking. Starting to get nervous. I have decided I am going to make a big chicken soup tonight as a slack way of eating healthy and fitting in with my schedule until the operation. Now to get up in the morning and exercise early. I have also set up the treadmill in front of the TV so that I can fit in an evening work out as it is now winter and walking outside in the evening after work is no longer an option.

Yours until next time

Preperations for the Big Day

Yesterday I had my breast ultrasound, this is the one where they cover your breasts with that horrible slimy gel and spend half an hour inspecting each little section to ensure there are no abnormalities. It wasnt too bad, the sonographer was quite friendly and chatty. Well I have the all clear. No breast cancer for me thank god and full steam ahead for my Breast Reduction Surgery. I am so happy.

Today I had my pre operative appointment with the surgeon, in which she proceeded to re-iterate all the things that can go wrong, like your nipple not re-attaching properly and dying and falling off. (They then have to create a new one, fake one) So fingers crossed that doesnt happen. I failed to tell her I have put on 4 kilos since our last visit. I dont know what is wrong with me. Such a big day draws nearer and I feel like I cant help myself.

Well in all this positive news I guess its time to admit that my commitment made to you last week has gone by the waste side, I have let you and myself down. Haven't we all done that before. I am not going to beat myself up about it as we comfort eaters usually do. I have recently been following a fellow blogger, her name is Michelle Connolly, I find her so inspirational and she likes to inspire me with small changes, ie making little positive changes to our habits which will make it easier not to "Stuff Up" and to live a healthier diet. If you want to check her out her site is http://52wlm.com/blog/ she also has a lot of free downloadable PDFs to help those busy mums/ladies out there to bring some organisation back into the house and our lives.

So ladies, 37 days until my operation, it is time for "Operation Sort My Booty Out" and its going to start with getting up every morning and performing some sort of physical activity. Doesnt matter what sort of activity; yoga, exercise video, walk the dog, you name it I am going to do something, anything to get this lazy booty out of bed. Thats it, it's out there and I am doing it.

Ladies, yes you reading along, what are you going to change or start this week. I encourage you to commit to youself one small activity or change in your daily routine that will draw you closer to your goals, feel free to share with me, put it out there so there is no going back because 2012 is the year to achieve your dreams.

Yours until next time

Impending Breast Reduction Surgery

Ok here it is ladies, the low down on well, ME.

I am a 28 year old woman and have 12GG or 34GG breasts and after 5 years of dreaming I have managed to save enough cash from the family budget to finally book my Breast Reduction Surgery or Breast Augmentation Surgery.  Yay!! 44 days until one of my biggest and life changing goals is about to be achieved. I am so excited.

For a long time now I have struggled with severe back pain and am constantly taking pain killers so that I don't fall behind in everything (as most woman can relate to there is so much to be done and not doing it is just NOT an option.) I find it hard to stand with good posture or for too long.

Shopping for bra's well don't even get me started on that. I know you busty ladies out there know what I am talking about, and if you do happen to find a bra well we might as well start calling you Nana. You can never really show off those fit curves you have without the two girls at the front waving a great big slutty hello to the town.

One thing leads to another and between Nana bras and hiding your boobs in baggy clothes you get comfy and start putting a few kilos on. Another thing I do which I am sure we can all relate to is over committing myself. I tend to take on a million and one goals and don't say no to helping anyone so exercise well that falls by the road side. Slowly but surely the weight creeps on which doesn't help the ladies at the front or the body muscles that support them.

So this is where I stand big boobies and a a BMI of 34 in the scary obese category. Here is the low doan and I am horrified to admit it but I am going to put it out there just for you, my current weight sits at 90kg or  198 pounds. And whilst I agree with those curvy ladies that say love your body the way it is, I have found that I nurture that ever common self critical attitude of myself. Well no more, I am taking control of this body and my life, I am going to discover inner peace and...  the treadmill.

I invite you ladies, lets be accountable to each other. Now is the time. No more procrastination from where we want to be in our lives. This is the time, this is the place. THE TIME IS NOW LADIES, BOOBS, CURVES AND ALL.

Here is my journey for you and I hope it will help you to know you are not the only one out there going through any number of things a modern day Mum/Housewife/Working Woman/Fatty/Big Boob Lady might be feeling.

Here is my pledge to you:

MY GOAL No1 IS TO REACH 55kgs (or 110 pounds) AND PROUDLY OWN A PAIR OF 32C or 10C BOOBS



Until Next Time
