Mid 30s mum from UK feeling creaky and wrinkly

Options
I'm Ally, dare I say it, 35yrs old. I hate saying that..I feel old! I'm a pretty fit person, I run 3/4 times a week and am kept very busy being a stay at home mum to our 2.5yr old daughter. Thing is, the fridge and chocolate cupboard seem to have an ability to override my good intentions, and before I know it I've guzzled half a block of blue cheese or my daughters chocolate supply. Then I kid myself that it doesn't matter, as I ate it so quickly that it won't count!

Anyway, by joining this site I hope to keep track of my good and bad habits, and maybe find some friends to share the drama.

I'm 5'9, and 150lbs...hopefully lose 10lbs but more than that, I want the saggy overhang to disappear...you know what I mean.

I'm doing the 30day shred programme right now, so if you're doing something similar then good luck, and I hope you make it a success.
