My Favourite Programs

Kia Ora all! :)

It was Feburary 2007, and my friend Jack was messing about on my mobile. I was in uni, and over helping a friend with something on the computer...I came back to find Jack had taken a photo of me- NEVER would I let anyone take my photo but clearly I never noticed him aking it! Thats when it hit me...I realised just how overweight I was! Struggling to fit into my size 16 clothes, denying that I was a size 18- I just new I had to do something about it!

Up until that point, I'd never done an ounce of exercise in my life - that was almost 2 decades worth!
I decided it was time to kick myself up the rear end and make a good go of things- this is the body Ive got for the rest of my life so I wanted it to look, feel and be at its best! No one can do that for me but myself... Plus, being single at the time, how could I offer myself for someone to love when I couldn't even love myself?!?

Starting weight was 83kg
Current weight is fluctuating between 73 and 75kg
I wouldnt say its a great deal but I'm certainly better off than where I started!
I'm now a comfortable size 12 both top and bottom and have lost a whopping 8 inches from my waist alone!

The weight loss progress is admittedly slowing and getting me down but really all that means is I need to work a little harder...Its easier said than done though.
I have really bad shin splints- Spent a lot of time and an awful lot of money going to see a chiropracter in the hope that he could fix the problem! To my dismay, I ended up being £2k out of pocket and my shins just as bad as ever...Sometimes I need to take over a month off at the gym just til they stop hurting 'cause really the only relief for them is rest!

Ideally, I need a flexible exercising plan which will let parts of me rest while exercising other parts...It will let me recover and not only that I will have a bit of variety so it wont feel too repetitive!
I also need a strict eating plan too...I really do struggle with it!

I absolutely LOVE BodyCombat :D It really is about unleashing your inner warrior! I especially enjoy the power tracks and doing muay thai-its just so aggressive! I love the instructors too- it wouldn't be half as fun if it wasn't them teaching it- Love you all! :)
And personally, BC35 is my favourite release yet!

IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVICE I WELCOME IT PLEASE, IF NOT, JUST SEND ME A MESSAGE ANYWAY! :D
Kia Kaha all and stay with the fight! ;)

Hi Gail. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your comment. Thank you so much for the kind words! After reading your profile, you have alot to be proud of yourself! WAY TO GO! When I started teaching LMI classes, I was just excited about the classes themselves. But now, I'm excited about all the amazing people I get to meet thru this wonderful profile system they offer us. Thank you again and hope to talk to you again sometime. Keep in touch - T.
