New Year, New Me?

(sorry this was supposed to go up much earlier in the week, but then all my tech died, again.)

This year, I've decided to sort out all the health issues in my life. It's going to take time, and effort. but I feel that these things are import for me to be the best version of my that I can be, for my family.

So I've signed up to a program that I can't tell you the name of, but it's specifically for mothers, even nursing mothers. It's all real food, quick and easy, Looks amazing. The meal plans are customize-able, so if you have allergies/intolerance's or, like me, are extremely picky you can edit it to suits your needs. They have lots of extra goodies you can add, and plenty of free recipes and exercises. 

I have to admit, I'm not looking forward to the exercises as much, and I prefer to swim or go to the gym. But they aren't an option at the moment. so in house exercise,and lots of walking for me. 

Now or Never

I'm not sure where I should really start... 

How about I tell you a little bit about myself?

My name is Lorraine, I'm 20 years old, and have two little boys.

We live in a very "alternative" part of Australia. It is absolutely amazing.

I had my eldest son at 18, just three days after my final day of Year 12. 

I found out I was pregnant with my second less then a year later. 

I was planning on enrolling into uni a few months after getting the positive.

I'm enrolled to start in February.
Did I mention I'm terrified?


I've had mental health issues for most of my teenage years, after the stressful (although healthy) pregnancy and birth of my first, I was diagnosed with Post Natal Depression. (PND). I received counselling, and thought things were on the rise again. But the unexpected second pregnancy, through a spanner in the works, and I was marked as "High risk." A few weeks after my second son was born, the black dog bite again. And she bit hard. I knew i needed to do something, so I am again receiving counselling, from a different support network. I am also on medication. I have good days, and I have bad days, but I try to focus on all the good.

Anyway, that's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure I'll go into more detail about things in the future. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to know.
