OK, so when people that have not seen you in a while actually tell you how amazing you look, and when you upload pics of your family get togethers on Facebook and people start asking you how you managed to lose weight, you know it is working and paying off.
I am not on the USN challenge to win the competition or to end up looking like a bodybuilder, I want lean muscle and I want to fit into a size 8 dress. Tick on both. I am super chuffed with the results thus far and I am not even halfway there yet. For someone who had two kids, the youngest 6 months ago, I have an amazing tummy...I am not a vain person, but wow! All those friggen crunches and core exercises are paying off. It is sooooo worth it!
And diet wise, I do cheat. Not with food, mostly with the odd glass of wine at a wedding. I went to a wedding on Saturday and even had a chocolate mouse, but hey, we need to still live, life is about more than chicken breasts and salad after all.
So, I am sticking to this, I manage to get to gym at least five times a week, it is hectic, balancing work, home and gym, but I must also admit that since starting the challenge I seriously have loads more energy than before! I actually manage to go to bed much later than pre-Challenge.
Still in my happy space, adding another quote today that relates to the new me:
So I will stick to this, I will become a gym person, and I will wear my bikini with pride ;)
