I've never been excessively overweight. I've had my own weight issues of course (what woman hasn't?) but my main reason for hitting the gym was to relieve STRESS. I was a stay at home mum, stuck at home ALL day with two young boys & it was starting to drive me nuts. Plus, I was taking everything out on the boys & Ben. I needed something to do for myself that gave me a bit of 'time out'. And the great thing was that the kids could come with me & have fun in the crèche while I was working out so I didn't feel guilty doing it!
I was never too worried about losing weight and I didn't for a long time. I got toned, strong, and my clothes definately fitted better but I still weighed the same. And I felt great!
About 3 months ago I decided to start looking at my diet & the things I could change that would help me to lose a bit of weight. I started to eat more healthily and the weight has slowly started to go.
I now try & get to the gym 3 times a week & the kids are still loving the crèche. It's just all part of our daily routine now.
So, in 2015 I'm planning to work a little harder on my health & fitness. I want to eat better, be fitter, leaner & stay stress free. I know it's going to take hard work & dedication to reach my goal but I'm ready for the challenge. And maybe I'll rock a really hot frock one day!
Do you work out?
Have any health or fitness goals for 2015?
Til next time,
Mel xx
