The day I was able to do up my leather jacket, since I had bought it nearly 3 years ago :)
The pic above is the most recent taken yesterday :)
If you follow me on instagram, you will know I'm on a fitness and healthy lifestyle mission!! I'm a person who has battled with weight for most of my life!! Deep down never really liking what I looked like, but always trying to cover up with jokes and a big smile on my face, I have tried to loose weight so so many times, but would always fail, mainly because if I felt down or stressed out I would always turn to food to cheer me up and eat the wrong things, I didn't grow up in an easy environment so it was just my way out! yep! sad I know but true!! It goes a lot deeper, but I won't go into too much detail on here. Another thing that would kill me and still even does is when I hit the shops, see things that I love only for them not to fit me!! it drives me insane and it really get's me down!! especially as I love fashion so much!!
Anyway so my weight has yo yo'd for years and in October I just decided I 'd had enough and wanted to do something about it once and for all, I've always been active, from playing football to the gym to having a personal trainer, but at the end of the day I'd always eat crap and undo my hard work.
So in November I decided to do the INSANITY 60 day program, I had seen people getting great results from it and although it looked insane I wanted to take the challenge, It sure as heck wasn't easy but I pushed myself everyday waking up at 5am to get the workout done before work, with Insanity you only have one rest day, so you have to push yourself, not only physically but mentally!! I finished insanity in December with great results and I'm truly proud of myself!! especially because I know a few years back I would have quit and gone back to old habits, I'm now doing another program called LESMILLS COMBAT from the same people that created Insanity (beachbody) and I'm seeing great results also, its not all about exercise I've also cleaned up my diet and I eat clean 90% of the time, which means eating fresh food, nothing processed or any Junk, I'm embracing this lifestyle and have never felt better, my skin doesn't even break out anymore I love it!!
I still have a long way to go on this fitness journey, loose more weight, get toned and I have a little goal of being able to wear body con dress for my birthday in July,(Bodycon Dreams) that's right folks I've never worn a body con ever! but hopefully that will soon change!! Above all I am just happy that I'm improving my lifestyle as well as family and friends around me, I definitely hope I can encourage more people along the way, I'm not perfect by all means just striving for better, to be better than yesterday and continue to grow!! Philippians 4:13. I have posted some pictures above that show my journey so far from my instagram.
