So, a lot has led to this. 4 years ago I was the girl that ate anything and the most amount of exercise I did was going shopping (those bags can get mighty heavy!)
<
- That was me. Skinny, boozing, confident. and I had collar bones! look at them!!!
I was a college student, and worked part time.
Once I finished college I headed off over seas... Ireland to be exact. I put on a few kgs (the Irish LOVE their potatoes... and so do I... I mean you go to an Indian restaurant and you have the choice of rice with your curry..... or Chips! Hot, steaming, salty, oily potato chips). But luckily the weight just fell off when I worked on a cruise ship. I was over worked and super stressed. I was at my lowest grown up weight of 58kg. -------------->
Yeah I know... kind of too skinny right?
After a bit more traveling around the globe I thought it was time to head back to the mother land. I moved to Tasmania, Beautiful place, and I swear... not a second head to been seen anywhere. I was living and working on Cradle Mountain. Amazing place, Paddy Melons and Wombats everywhere. Mind you, so was amazing cheeses and wines! I got in to the habit of drinking
at least 6 bottles of wine per fortnight. And not to mention that I was living on the resort and they also cooked for us.. we had an option of carbs, fried foods or fried carbs... yumo... and on packed 6kg.
<----- there I am.
After this I moved to Hamilton Island in search of a healthier life. Yes I cooked my own meals and life seemed much better... but the weight didn't shift. Soon with itchy feet I headed off over seas to go to the 'Burning Man' in USA and visit some friends in Ireland and take Spanish lessons in Barcelona. Only thing... I added another 6kgs to my over weight weight. Making me at my most around 76kg. ----------------------> This is me at Burning Man amazing festival in the desert of Nevada. I can't believe I put this photo up.. my god... look at those rolls!
I came back to Australia much larger then I wanted to be. And worst of all I have a loving boyfriend to come home to and I had doubled in size.. Poor thing
Anyway all good.. once we moved in together I got some of Michelle's cook books and started working on those... knocked of 6kg so fast! it was amazing. and the I plateaued, and honestly, I just gave up.
So this is where I am now... Down 6kgs an other 6 to go. I tired of this bloody muffin top... I tired of hearing clapping when I run stairs.Enough is enough. I want to feel like me again.. feel comfortable wearing anything. and feel SEXY again.
So I have signed up for the 12 week body transformation. I'm not letting this weight beat me, I am NOT taking this weight with me. I am done with it.
I'm in pre season atm. I have started running. And running hard... The hills on Hamilton Island are INSANE!! I've signed up to the fun run training. I want to be able to run without dieing..
Let the journey begin!!!!
