Im currently a stay at home mum of 2 children. I got married a year ago and since then, as cliché as it is, I have got too "comfortable" and let myself go.
We live in a small touristy beach town right on the east coast of NZ. It really is paradise, and we are lucky to call this place home. In summer people flock from all over to holiday here. Being a beach town, it brings very fit people that spend most of the time at the beach...in bikinis...which is where I want to be this summer. Not so much looking outrageously good looking in a bikini, but feeling comfortable in myself, being able to enjoy running around the beach and in the waves with my kids.
I know what I have to do to achieve my goals, Ive done it before. The thing is, I need to get in the right mind set and STAY MOTIVATED. Staying motivated is my biggest issue...well, that and food...I LOVE FOOD!
My energy levels are pathetic to say the least. I feel terrible when I drive past an old person walking with their walking stick just to get out for a stroll, while I just sit on my arse. What is MY excuse?! I have none, I have just got lazy.
I want to frolic around in those Daisy Duke shorts again while I'm cooking lunch or dinner over the barbeque with our friends and family. I want to have a variety of nice outfits in my wardrobe that I can choose from, for those nights, when I do manage to make it out. They don't happen often so I want to feel as good as I can when they do. I don't want to be worrying about bits bulging here and there. I want to be able to enjoy doing not only exercise but outdoor activities again. I want to FEEL healthy. I want to set a healthier lifestyle for my children, so they have the tools to achieve similar goals, and I want to feel sexy for my husband again.
So, having said all that, with summer only a matter of months away, and turning dirty 30 only a year and a half away, I WILL be happier and healthier, and most definitely bringing my sexy back!
