About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

Registration and meet my new competitors/motivators!

So I loaded the 2 rats into the pram last night to walk down to first night of the challenge.

Far out those kids are heavy, given I only had to walk about 10mins (if that) each way but there were some ups and downs and I would guess about 30kgs I was pushing!

Here are official starting stats..I'll work on some photos.

Weight         102.2kgs
Upper Chest 99.5cm
Bust             107cm (Rat_boy had been on a bit of a feeding strike so not sure how accurate this is)
Waist           105.5cm
Hips             133cm
Thigh (right)  77 cm
Arm (right)   36cm

There were only 4 of us signed up last night, apparently there are more starting in the 2nd week, but from those that were there, again I'm the biggest.  Which means I again have to work extremely hard to lose a high number of KGS in order to get a high % loss.  But really I guess it's not all about winning, it's about being healthy and changing eating habits and creating a healthier lifestyle.

I won't be keeping a food diary as such, I already post my dinners on my other blog each week.  When it comes to our dinners I don't go out of the way too much to change things when I'm trying to lose weight, I don't want to make it hard on myself.  I just try for smaller portions and lots more vegies.  I try to ensure that on top of whatever vegies are already in my dinner, that I have half my plate covered with vegies or salad.

But if for some reason I've had a blow out or something like that, I'll post it here.

I'll use this to post my results each week and what I've been doing to achieve those results.

For example, I know technically it didn't start until weigh in last night.  But yesterday morning I took Rat_boy to our lagoon on the esplanade for a 'Mum's and Bubs' water class OMG I can hardly move today!  We were running from the beach side into the deeper water and back while carrying baby or child.  Plus push ups and sit ups in the water, squats and twists with baby as a weight, it was one hell of a work out.

Tomorrow we meet with the same girls for some hill walks....ummmmm so again I'll be pushing the kids in the pram OH THE PAIN!!!!
