Day 1

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

-- Lao Tzu

Or in this case, sets of skipping.  

So I have begun. Not a bad start with cutting my food intake by half.
Breakfast
half bowl oatmeal topped with blueberries
half piece of fruit toast
half a banana

Lunch
grilled open sandwich (1 slice of bread) topped with a few tablespoons of homemade ratoutoille left over from last night and a little bit of cheese.

Afternoon snack
half bar of chocolate (baby steps)

Dinner
Tofu crustless quiche with bacon, spinach, capsicum, zucchini and mushrooms.  Not completely happy with how it turned out as it was still quite wet.  Will play some more with this recipe as it is quite yum and healthy.  Recipe from my friends food blog,

Exercise was done in the afternoon much to the amusement of my son.  Bonus as he gets to learn numbers while I work out.

Photo - I debated internally for a long time whether to post this or not.  It is just so gross.  But here goes nothing.

A million excuses as to how/why I am this size 8 months after having a baby, but they would all be excuses.

Now onto a better photo.  This was taken just after a workout.  I try to include baby raises in my daily routine. He is nine kilos so good for the arm issues.
