this is my life

Well it's been 8 weeks now and what a journey it has been ! Not just a journey of weight loss and being healthy, but a journey of discovery and learning to be aware of your body and how it works! I strongly believe that other people can teach you, train you and help to transform your body but it all has to begin with you and your desire and willingness to change your life style. 
Im a huge believer in personal trainers, meal plans and education but everyone is different and every body's lifestyle is different. It is unrealistic for some people to be able to train every day, prepare every meal and stick to a strong diet, you have to do what works for you!!

• It's definitely true that all your motivation will be there at the start for the first few weeks and slowly start to die down as the time goes on.
• Your results in the beginning will be drastic and then you can become too comfortable with the little bits of change
• my food diary began to lack consistency
• my exercise died down because my attitude began to be "I'm eating well, i dont need to exercise"

MY DESIRE IS STILL THERE THOUGH!

• I dont want to be skinny
• i want to be strong
• my goals are realistic
• i know it will take time

On that note, i dont want my results to happen over night!!! If theres one major thing that these past two months have taught me, its that results DO happen and they DO take time, but by taking time...you'll be able to 

DEVELOP A LIFESTYLE that ENABLES YOU TO KEEP YOUR RESULTS

SO FAR:

so far there has been a 6kg weight loss, i have easily managed to keep this weight off over the last 2 months because of my changes to my diet that have been realistic and consistent. Dont make changes you cant keep forever! I'm so happy with these results!

WHAT IVE GOT TO GO:

By SUMMER which is 7 months away....i dont have a weight loss goal...my goal...

STRONG, FIT, HEALTHY, HAPPY!!

3 steps forward, 1 step back..

3 steps forward, 1 step back

there comes a time with any journey...where you hit a spot where you look back on the past (for me the past two weeks) and wonder when things started going down hill. I cant put a time frame on when this happened to me but i have found it is VERY easy to slip back into old unhealthy habits.. looking back on the past two weeks ive been SLACK!

I DONT SEE THIS AS FAILURE THOUGH..FAILURE WOULD BE RECOGNISING THE DRAWBACK AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT

i have recognised that becoming weak in an area of your life can snowball very subtly, but very quickly!...
When i say drawback i am not talking putting o lost weight, or indulging in a block of chocolate..
im talking..easter is not an easy thing when it comes to temptation..
a little bit too much chocolate here and there
a little too much comfort food on those cold days
not quite enough of the good stuff..

now COME ON CHELS!!..GET YOR BUTT BACK INTO GEAR AND SUCCEED!!

it IS a slow process and it is SUPPOSED to be a slow process, that's how you create a LIFESTYLE and HABITS..not fads..thats how you keep the weight off and your life where you want it to be.

IVE NOTICED: the past two weeks when my diet hasn't been as clean as it had been, im unhappy..junk food doesn't make me happy, fresh healthy food does!

Feeding the sugar cravings is not worth the sick feeling that you walk away with
