The "new" program

Well I did it.......I asked Michelle to put my before picture on her website. Now I can't chicken out! I need to make the effort at all times. I need to watch everything that goes into my mouth and I need to make the time to exercise everyday. It is really quite danuting for me..... I am going from someone that doesn't exercise regulary to having to exercise everyday to see the results I am aiming for.
Michelle has given me a new program that has me exercising everyday, she explained that I need to get myself into a routine and not even stop and think if today is an exercise day.
So this weekend I will take it easy on the exercise side of things, I will go for a walk and a gentle cycle and get myself in the right headspace to go full on next week.
I'll also go shopping and stock up on all the right foods to fuel my body...........until next post!

The beginning


This is my weight loss journey. I have tried countless times to lose weight with small successes, only to stop exercising, not eating right and putting the weight back on.

I enlisted the help of Glow Women's Fitness online who designed an eating and exercise program for me. Unfortunately I did not follow it closely enough, and at the end of the 12 week program, I ended up being heavier than when I started. So I resigned for another 12 weeks, vowing that this time would be different.

Michelle is a fantastic mentor and has a wealth of knowlegde that she is only too happy to share. Any e-mails I send through they are always answered the same day. Michelle has offered for me to put my before photo on her website as a motivational tool to stick to my program. Each month I will take a new photo.

Here is my starting photo. I currently weight 63.7kg..........my ideal end goal is to weigh between 52kg-55kg (depending on how I look at 55kg)........my first mini goal is to get under 60kg.

I will post as often as possible, doing a food and exercise diary to help keep me accountable.
