WHMP: 3 September 2017

Oh how life has changed!! I was the first to wake up this morning and having mum around to look after Lochie while Jamie got to have his Father’s Day sleep in I decided to sneak out of the house early and head off to the gym! Never in a million years did I think I would get out of bed on a Sunday morning while everyone else was still sleeping to go to the GYM!!

I started off with 20 minutes on the cross trainer (or torture chamber as Mum called it!) and the stair master was calling my name so I though stuff it I’ll give it another crack this time doing 5 straight minutes and even increasing the resistance/incline setting. I then went on to do 3 full sets of the circuit that Anita set up for me. Finished off with 6km on the bike and then another 5 minutes on that man stair master! Finishing off my Sunday morning workout of just over 900 calories burnt.

Being Father’s Day I wanted to make some kind of effort to look somewhat respectable for Jamie.

I was proud to be wearing an entire outfit of size 20’s. This is a surreal moment for me as I have been a 24+ for the last 15 years at least.

Since Mum was in Adelaide I took the opportunity to do another round of progress photos since Jamie can’t take photos to save himself. I have no words…….

I am shocked

I am dumbfounded

I am proud

I am in disbelief

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here are my words!

To be honest I can’t stop looking at the back view as I never knew it was possible for me to have a defined and small looking waist. It all just seems so surreal and someone needs to pinch me! I am by no means where I want to be but I’m so damn proud of how far I am come and today I am one step closer and I’m happier and healthier than I was yesterday.
