A year from now you will wish you started today
It's new years day, all I see on Facebook is 'this is my year to get thin' or 'I'm going to lose weight' and a week later - everyone is back to their old ways. Why? As they made a resolution for the sake of making a resolution. New years resolutions mean nothing to me, as they are made under peer pressure to make one. I make mine before Christmas and stick to them over the festive season so come new year I start the 1st January looking and feeling good, and that is a much better feeling than thinking 'crap I've over done it look at my ass'.
I am generally quite fit but have decided to go Carpe Diem on my ass - to find the time to get even fitter. I’ve always been ‘fit’ in the sense I train regularly, running for miles every week and taking part in a variety of martial arts - but now I’m talking ‘FIT’ fit. I’m talking fitness model, abs of steel and the ass of a Victoria Secret model fit.
Long gone are the days of being 19 and eating everything I wanted and staying thin anyway, I manage to keep my size 6 figure with a combination of running, and attempting to eat well. Eating well usually involves several take outs per week from my busy schedule but the rest of my diet is fairly good - I rarely snack, and drink a lot of water.
In an essence it is easy to get thin - it just involves burning more calories than you take in, throw in some running and cut out snacks it is simple science - burn off more than you eat. Or as in a recent episode of mine - contact West Nile Fever from some mossy bites, and don’t eat or drink for two weeks - and you will be thin in no time!
What is hard is staying thin, to keep maintaining that figure whilst wanting to eat everything in site - I’ve been there! There is a reason so many celebs get shockingly thin then bounce back up to their weight they were before or even bigger - it is not healthy and it is not sustainable. This is where Herbalife has made a big difference to my lifestyle and maintaining the same weight regardless if I 'fall off the take out wagon' a couple of days a week. The cookies and cream shake has been a lifesaver when you fancy something sweet!
Thin celebs are idolized, to the point of eating disorders in thousands of young women, they boast about having one cube of chocolate per day or doing 500 crunches or having a personal trainer on speed dial - what none of them do is embrace a healthy lifestyle where you say ‘you know what - I can eat that as I earned it in the gym’.
I’ve always loved fitness, I have no problem going out for an hours running in the rain, or doing 30 minutes ply metrics training at 2am as that is the only time I can spare - the problem I have is with my diet - I just love food! I don’t snack or like alcohol but fast food is my weakness - especially with my busy schedule! I love kebabs, chinese, pizza, chips - everything that is bad for me!
The running has kept me a slim figure with some tone, but now I am hitting up the next level - cutting out the junk, improving my diet and my health, and getting a fitness model body! I’m not talking Jodie Marsh extremes, that isn’t attractive in my eyes - I’m talking amazing abs and a round bum - without the butt implants!
I’ve always shied away from weights in favour of cardio, but research has shown me that weights are the way to go for a toned figure. Doing 200 squats a day has done nothing to give me a pert round bum - it was time to add some weights! I’ve always been terrified that weights will add to bulk, in favour of a slim figure - but fit is the new thin and women don’t have enough testosterone to bulk anyway so I’ve been giving weights a go and WOW! My derriere is rounder and perkier than it has ever been - Kylie eat your heart out!
So in addition to my cardio routine I have also thrown in some weights and strength training, whilst trying to curb my obsession with junk food! Weights training is proven to burn calories for up to 24 hours after a workout, whereas cardio only continues to burn calories for 2 hours after a session, so not only do you burn more calories over all from working out, but having more muscle burns more calories in your body as well. It’s a win win situation and I’m surprised I have not tried it sooner.
I’ve studied fitness for over ten years, every aspect of training and nutrition, have helped friends with advice to lose weight and get fit, and helped girls lose stones, but always struggle with my own advice - it is always ‘one last kebab and I’ll start tomorrow’ well a year from now you'll wish you started today and so that is what we are going to do! Diets will no longer start on a Monday girls!
In the launching of me new diet and fitness books and fitness magazines, I’m going to get fit with you, and together we can achieve the bodies of our dreams! I always practice what I preach.
Through my blogs, the Herbalife products which I am selling, and the free E-Book which will be available to all of my customers, we are going to achieve great results! So put down that cake and lets get started girls xxx
