Well well well... back again!
The last couple of months I have had a few ups and downs on the weight loss & healthy lifestyle front... Admittedly I was finding it hard to keep up with my healthy eating plans, and doing it alone really was not working. I am my own worst enemy and found it very easy to cheat on my diet and give up!
However I am delighted to tell you all that over the last month my life has been changed for the better, and I only have the guys at MiDiet and MiFitness in Ballincollig to thank! My journey began with Conor and his crew on the 3rd of April and I am delighted to say I have lost 11.5 pounds so far... in just 3 weeks!!! Crazy I know and I couldn't have done it without them! I have another weigh in on Friday, and I'm kinda hoping that I'll have reached a stone in weight loss by then. I have been working extra hard so far this week so fingers Crossed!
Wanna know what I've been doing? Keep reading!
I got weighed, measured and calipered on week one to see where I stood in the beginning, and as I suspected my weight had gotten out of control, I was a whopping 11 st. 13lbs! Needless to say I was in need of a good kick up the back side and some serious help. I got a diet plan from Conor which set out my meals every day and it was specifically tailored to suit ME. When I initially got the diet plan I thought "this is going to take a lot of organisation" as I knew with having a busy lifestyle between work and college I would have to prepare all my meals in advance. But... in just three and a half weeks I've become so used to the organisation that I can't really see any other way of living!
Of course a diet plan is not the only way to loose the weight- this my friends is a fact that a lot of people get wrong. Healthy eating AND exercise together is the key! So I got a personally tailored gym plan and have been doing lots of classes each week with the MiFitness ladies gym, as well as exercising on my own. I am lucky enough to be in a college with an amazing running track, so I have been running on the track a few times a week too. I even find myself doing squats at the oven while cooking haha!! I was one of the laziest people ever for the last 3-4 years and the thought of going for a walk or jog made me gag, so this is a huge change for me.
I am amazed that after just 3 weeks I feel this fantastic. I have more energy, I'm happier and more enthusiastic about lot's of aspects in life now. I can't see myself going back to the way I was before. Thinking back my life was horrible and disgusting. I felt awful about myself 99% of the time, seeing jeans after jeans going to waste because they were becoming too small. That has all changed now and I am 100% delighted. I still have a good bit to go and 6 weeks left with MiDiet but if things keep going this way I think there will be a lot less of Lisa ;)
Finally, I couldn't have done this without the love and support of my incredible boyfriend. He joined MiDiet with me and has been there every step of the way. He is also doing amazingly and I am so proud of him. He has completely changed and looks incredible! I think doing it with him made it easier for me, because we both had the same focus and determination. The unwavering support that we're getting from one another has made it much easier for both of us!

Lots'a Love,
Lisa xx
