When I met my husband, 8 years ago, I was 66kgs and really fit. I ran 3+ times a week as well as working out at the gym doing cardio and weights. Fast forward 8 years and one pregnancy later and I currently weigh
80kgs. Not that I can blame the pregnancy, I hit 80 before I got pregnant and lost it all plus some during the pregnancy. I was so sick I couldn't even walk from one room of our house to another, I went on maternity leave early due to it.
Two years ago I had hit my heaviest, 85kgs, and hated it. I managed to loose 5 kilos and have kept it off but I really need to loose more. I am really not comfortably, I have asthma and skin problems and I have noticed this year that all I do is sweat, constantly. Its driving me nuts! And to be honest I don't remember sweating so much when I was thinner.
Of course the other major reasons for me to go back to the gym are my job (I am a nurse with lots of lifting) and I have a bad knee. I didn't work out at all last year and ended up having to go back to an orthopeadic surgeon as I was loosing mobility, luckily I don't need surgery yet. (he's going to wait until I completely destroy my knee cap!). But one of the things he recommened was exercise.
So I have rejoined a gym. I have taken it easy for the last 2 months (I did a celebrity body aerobic class and couldnt walk for a week thanks to my knee). But now I am ready to start getting serious. I want to loose another 5 kgs and am hoping to do so by the end of the year. I am not pushing it though.
Hopefully by the end of the year I will be lighter and fitter and have the added bonus of having less trouble to breath. My asthma has been really bad lately.
