The rationale: Why do I want to do this? Because deep at the heart of me is the need to feel healthy and attractive. I dress well every day and take care of myself, but recently have become very aware of my size and perhaps lost the emotional drive to reach my goal. Plateau has lasted for a year. I feel lumpen, sluggish and fat. I desire change.
The workout plan: 2 x 15 minute work out sessions per day, plus weekly belly dancing, Pilates classes and 30 minute daily walks
The support: I get fantastic advice and personal feedback from Paul Mort at Precision fitness with whom I have worked during stage 1 of my weight loss (4 stones) and from Dax Moy, creator of the programme. My husband and family are equally supportive......what have I got to lose?? WEIGHT!!!
The rewards: I spent time visualising the new me on the advice of Dax Moy who designed the programme. I can see myself in a slim and confident shape, wearing the clothes I want to wear and feeling empowered and attractive. This is what is waiting for me at the end of the road......
The cost: Time, energy, motivation, elimination of foods, commitment, financial cost of wholefoods, the need to blog regularly and review goals and targets, emotional challenges, staying power.......
Am I willing to pay? Yes.....I am aware that I will struggle at times but feel that my blog will be a fantastic source of focus and attunement, on good days and bad. I accept that there is a cost. I am ready to stop self-delusions. I am ready to ignore those who would prefer me to stay this size and shape. I am willing to pay........plus I love healthy whole foods so there is an added bonus!!
The Challenge: No wheat, sugar, caffiene, alcohol, processed foods or lactose for 90 days
No more of this for me.....
This is a Teesside delicacy called a 'Parmo'....basically a heart attack on a plate. Though not typical of my previous diet at all, it marked one of those occasions a few weeks ago when I said to myself 'Oh, go on. It won't hurt!!', thus sabotaging my good nutritional work probably for the whole week. Did I enjoy it?? No, not really, Breaded pork, Bechamel sauce and a mountain of melted cheese served with a token shred of wilty salad. If you are what you eat, do I want this to embody me? Don't think so....
