I'd put on a stone gradually over 7 years & realised I was losing physical functionality. The body scan was the confirmation I needed to do something re visceral fat levels. Scary to have the numbers in front of me which I pinned on the fridge door.
I thought of the 6 week challenge as something for me. Getting a daily message to keep me on track helped & although I don't use Facebook posting photos of meals kept me accountable.
The food side v difficult as I love cooking/eating. I fell off the wagon one night half way through- pizza & red wine - but the next day I carried on. Also celebrated a friend's 60th in Lisbon for a few days with wine and the odd icecream.
Now I will continue with the classes, think about portion size, drink black coffee, avoid carbs most days in the evening & protein 5 X a day. I have really enjoyed the classes 3 X a week.
I am sleeping longer, my balance is better and my walking distance/ pace has improved. I have lost nearly 5 bags of sugar so my knees are less painful and 4 inches from my waist - all in 6 weeks.
Still some way to go in terms of building muscle and reducing fat but that can take longer. Thank you to Dean, Jo and all the trainers for the encouragement.
Off for a large glass of wine xx
