Newbie with desperate need for a will-power buddy

Toninz

My name is Toni and I’m in Auckland, New Zealand.
I’m a full-time working Mum with 2 little darlings (Miss 6 and Mr 3) and a husband who runs the family business and works long hours.

I’ve found it really hard to fit in any type of exercise since Mr 3 has been out of his pushchair and we used to go on 4km walks around the neighbourhood at least once a week. I’ve left things for too long and through my lack of will power I've managed to put on 20kg in the past 8 months (I was 63kg earlier this year – then discovered baking =/ ) and I’m miserable about it. SO… I gave myself a kick up the backside, put away my baking tins and started to make more of an effort, but I know I'll need a special someone to keep me on the straight and narrow! Any takers?

I’m starting with a massive change to my diet as I’m due for surgery next Monday so that will rule out exercise for at least 2 weeks, but it’s still a start.

After reading comments in this forum from other busy Mums I know I need to get my kids involved in my workouts or else I’ll never get a chance. My little girl will LOVE Zumba! You Tube here we come…

Looking forward to hearing from that 'special someone' that will help me do this and hopefully I can support you too

Many thanks

I can understand where you are coming from. I have a two year old and could use a will power buddy also. Add me as a friend and we can help each other.
