So I got onto the scale when I said I would… it was bad. I had only lots 1.2kg and I felt low, but what’s the one thing people always say, weight doesn't matter, measure yourself, see how your clothes fit, how do you feel and well, I felt great, and I could fit into my old jeans (you know that one pair us girls like to keep aside just in case we loose a couple of kilo's and we might be able to wear them again…) Those fit!
The same day I weighed myself however, I started feeling sick, and had an annoying little cough. Well by that evening I was sick as a dog and went straight to the Doc. Two courses of anti-biotics and 10 days of NO training I eventually felt better and went back to gym. The funny thing though was I kept loosing weight and by the time I finished my first week of training I had lost 2.2kg and now I'm down a flat 3kg!!! Training hard and eating clean.
It's amazing how one's body adjusts. Now if I have a weak moment and eat something like a chocolate or a piece of cake I get an instant headache, the type that lingers and needs a painkiller. Which is great, it makes not eating the bad stuff so much easier.
I've also had the privilege to have 3 personal training sessions with my fitness role model, Melissa Strijdom. I found Melissa somewhere on the Internet while looking for fitness inspiration or maybe it was on Pinterest. In the midst of my journey through cyber-space I found Melissa, and one link lead to the next I figured out this was a South-African girl, training as a fitness model in France of ALL places. The romantic idea of being in France and doing something I have always wanted to do or have always admired and respected, made me an instant fan. She was a great resource; tips, clean food-blogging, lifestyle, exercise advice and just plain visual inspiration.
And much to my benefit she recently moved back to South Africa, to my hometown and became a personal trainer at MY gym (well the one I frequent at).
So when I finally got my head right and started this "eat clean, train dirty" journey she was the one I got into contact with. Her meal plan, exercise plan, motivation, personal training and awesome personality has kept me going and on track. So if you're interested in health and fitness and you're ready to start your own journey to a better you, contact her!!! She offers online training, custom meal and fitness plans and personal training :)
