I haven’t been posting on this much lately, but I sure have been focused. After my two sessions with my dietician I now have an eating and training plan. This has so far resulted in an eight kilo drop! Amazing for me, I haven’t been at this weight in around three years. I have 31 kilos to my goal and everyday is one step closer! 

So my return to the gym has been going quite well. Can already feel my fitness increasing! Going to try and get 4-5 days in a week with 40-50 minutes of cardio (possibly building to an hour +) with the treadmill (power walking as I cannot run due to my arthritis), elliptical and rower. Plus some lat pull down weights once a week for upper body strength.

It’s so great to have my boyfriend with me at every session going hard with me and helping keeping me focused. We are also going to try a Zumba class on Friday before our work out. And hopefully I will get back into some Pilates soon too!

On Monday I will be seeing a dietician about what foods and calorie intakes are best for me as I have been recently diagnosed with insulin resistance. So hopefully this will make a huge difference as well.

So excited at how this year has been going so far, and am confident I can keep this lifestyle change for good.
