A change is here!

It's been a long time since my last update and a lot has changed. I spent some time in Sydney learning at Planet Cake (great eye opener). Bought our first home and started my home cake decorating business (took a lot of hard work), and got engaged (wedding planning in full swing). But while all of this was going on I forgot about the most important thing.... myself. I got to my heaviest ever at 93kg and let my unhealthy habits take over. I became very unhappy with myself and knew I had to make some changes. I had semi tried to get myself into gear but each time I gave up after a few days or a week and went back to my old ways of binge eating and unhealthy choices.



Till a friend of mine told me I had to join the Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation. It sounded great, but was expensive at $200. But I decided I had to try something. This was the start of a great program and most importantly I met a great group of people that supported me. Support and group fitness has been the only thing that has kept me in the game. So far I have lost 10kg and looking at another 10 to go.

I know I can do this as I have the tools I need to achieve my goals. Originally I wanted to lose weight to fit into a wedding dress, but at I went along I knew there was soo much more to it than just losing weight. I realised the mental benefits of being fit and achieving something was the most important to me. Being able to say 'yes I can do that' was great. Plus it has got a bit easier the more I've exercised.



My new goal is to complete Tough Mudder in August then get married looking my best in September. Can't wait to do this. I completed Warrior Dash last year and was stoked I completed the 5km in under an hour (my goal was 1 hour). I need to keep my eye on this prize to keep my motivation up, to be fit enough so I don't get hurt, lol.

So these days I have jumped into the whole clean healthy eating and am very interested in nutrition and good food. I am currently working on an idea to possible start a shop tailored to healthy whole foods and information for like-minded people looking for the same lifestyle (watch this space). So it is along these lines that I have decided to leave the cake decorating behind and focus on a healthier lifestyle.

So from now on this page will focus on my learning curve into a better me. I will share my favorite recipes, ideas and education into nutrition and hopefully my new business to come soon.
