It is time. I’ve tried counting calories, Keto, Slimfast, Slimming World, telling myself that this week I’ll eat better and exercise more. But by the end of the week, I’m back to my usual routine of eating what I want, rather than what’s good for me, and chilling out in the evening, rather than working out.
But I know I need to make a change. For my health, for my self esteem, for my holiday in 7 weeks time when I want to get into my swimming costume without needing special assistance.
So, I’ve signed up to a local gym’s 6 week programme offering small group personal training three times a week and nutritional support. I’ve always hated gym classes in the past so I’ve got my fingers crossed this one will be different!
But I think the thing that struck me most was that during the initial call with them, I asked whether I could still indulge my chocolate habit while following the programme. ‘You can’t expect big changes without making big changes’ was the response I got.
“You can’t expect big changes without making big changes”
Well that’s me told! I know it’s the truth. And the truth hurts! And it’s left me feeling a bit worried about whether or not I’ve got the willpower to see this through. Six weeks of a completely different eating and exercise routine is either going to make me or break me. Watch this space to see what happens next…
