Well I cannot believe it is finally over. My motivation came from looking through the Bodyblitz website and seeing the successful stories of all the previous entrants. My other motivation came from purchasing various fitness magazines and seeing the amazing photos. Just seeing all those women out there with toned and fit bodies was enough – I thought to myself, ‘I want what she has!’ Throughout university I put on a lot of weight, but since then I have alway been fairly active since I was 21 years old.
Over Christmas my partner and I went on a 12-night cruise. Let me paint the picture: 24-hour food on tap (no extra cost) and no exercise – not a good combination. Once we returned we started doing up our photo album from the trip and I got quite depressed looking at my photos; I really had put on a lot of weight.
While I kind of knew it was happing, as my clothes were getting tighter, I still thought I looked ok. However the proof was in the photos, I definitely needed to do something, and the 12-Week Bodyblitz Challenge was just the motivation I needed.
Completing exercise was the easy part as I enjoyed going to gym, but I really struggled with the dieting. I am by far the fussiest eater anyone has ever met. I don’t eat fish, eggs, kangaroo, cottage cheese or avocado, so food is a real struggle for me. What I particularly found hard was not being able to go out to dinner and eat whatever I wanted or not being able to enjoy that chocolate in the afternoon.
When I decided to enter a figure competition, I became really excited and enlisted in the help of a pre-competition training guru, Jon Davie. Overall, I love the new results and am really happy with how I look.
I would strongly recommend anyone to just go for it. While the first two weeks are very hard, once you get into a routine, it becomes easier. Then when you start seeing the results, this is all the motivation you need to keep going – you definitely won’t regret it!“I never would’ve been able to do this without the help of my trainer Jeff Williams from Goodlife Ipswich, your support and motivation throughout this entire process has just been wonderful and so appreciated.
