my journey to health

So I went along to my first session with amy, it was suprisingly easy, some squats, lunges, arm exercises I actually enjoyed it, was sore the next day but quite happy she didn’t push me too hard – hahahaha how wrong I was, she was just lulling me into a false sense of security before she showed me what real exercise was!!

She taught me to eat 6 times a day and that is something I still struggle with, I am eating more than I have ever eaten in my life, and I am hungry all the time, it is a new feeling to be eating to lose weight and I struggle as my head tells me eating will make me fat, and that is something I really need to work on, changing the way I think.

My second session involved a running track and stairs, jesus the stairs, It is not natural to have to do what she made me do with stairs. But I felt good afterwards, sore but good, I had energy and I achieved a lot, I wasn’t tired and I didn’t want to have an afternoon nap as I usually do!!

Eating was good I had gotten into a routine porridge with berries for breakfast, poached eggs on toast for lunch, snacks in between and a healthy dinner.

Amy also wanted me to walk at least 3 times a week, this I cheated on, I really struggle with self motivation, I seem to be able to come up with an excuse and good excuses I might add to not be able to walk!!

So I asked my sister in law if she wanted to walk with me and next thing I know there are 4 of us from our coffee group walking three times a week – I was stoked, I need this, I need the motivation and they won’t let me get away with bullshit excuses either!!!
