I had a really long day at work and didn’t have time to exercise. I didn’t let this throw me off track and thankfully my husband had cooked a healthy bean chilli with brown rice for when I arrived home. I will make sure to exercise tomorrow to stay on track.

No one is going to put in the work for you.

Day 3 started off well. My mind was racing with ideas of starting up a fitness business here in NZ. I had had a successful fitness and Pilates business before leaving the UK and realised that part of me missed doing this. I also considered the fact that I would need to get in better shape to be able to do this and that setting this as a longer term goal would help to keep me focused.

I had a long and busy day at work, cycling there and back as the weather was good. I had some admin to do when I got home but changed into my gym kit first so that I wouldn’t have an excuse not to work out. Knowing where you might slip up and creating pathways for success is a good way to stay on track when you are not feeling as motivated.

Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.

Setting goals is important. I have a long term goal but have also made some short term goals to keep me on track and give me the ability to celebrate the small successes along the way. I helps to focus on the now and each goal achieved is a reward in itself. I am trying to keep a diary to look at what has gone well and maybe not so well each day. I am also trying to work on my all or nothing mentality to ensure one less healthy choice does not sabotage the day. First goal is to go and stay below 70kg and I am happy to say I am a step closer after day 2 than I was on day 1.

This is me on day 1. 73kg and feeling insecure in my own skin. My clothes feel tight and I am really self conscious when wearing casual clothes. I have a foot injury which has stopped me running for a few months but I have a special foot strap so am going to try for a slow and steady 5k on the beach followed by some stretching and strengthening Pilates exercises in my home gym. Wish me luck 🤞
