Day 1

The start of some very odd warm sunny days during Winter in August, have dragged me out of the uggies and thinking about summer. So I tried on my bikini and what do you know… I’m lumpy and bumpy and things are not where I would like them to be! It is that inevitable feeling that either drives you to get your butt moving, or back to the fridge. Thankfully I decided on the former!

I have been a member of the same gym for around 18 months and phoned to schedule an assessment. The last time I did one with them was when I joined so it was long overdue.

My journey is going to be done the old fashioned way… no fad diets, no subscription to magic pills or berries.  I will eat healthy food and exercise.  It isn’t like I don’t know “how” to do it, it is just a matter of doing it and stop talking about it.

The results are in, and I will continue to track my progress and update how things are going from here on. I have also started taking the dreaded photos so watch this space as I update my change from a squishy body to a fit and toned one!

My measurements were taken and my weight was calculated on the Tanita Body Composition Analyzer,  and while I know that it is not 100% accurate in terms of fat percentage, it is a good indicator and from here on I need this to decrease as it is way too high!!

The results were basically the same as 18 months ago, so I was very pleased things did not go backwards, however in that 18 months of gym membership (total cost $1,443!) there should be no reason why things have not changed. I will update measurements also so I can also track how many centimetres are lost, which needs to go down mostly from around my waist.

Height: 158cm

Weight: 59.3kg

BMI: 23.8

Fat %: 37.3%

Fat mass: 22.1kg

So I’m not hugely overweight, but there is definitely work to be done.
