As a mother, wife and friend I had done everything for everyone else and nothing for myself for so many years, so I entered the 12-week Challenge to get myself on track again.
I made excuse after excuse up for not going to the gym and for not looking after my appearance. I would always complain to my husband about how unhappy I felt, and always used the excuse of my busy lifestyle. I work full time and have two active children, so have little time left for me!
I was picking up my son from school one day and looked at all the women around me. I felt so intimidated by them – they all looked healthy and dressed beautifully and you could see from their appearance that they looked after themselves and oozed confidence. It was something I so desperately wanted for myself.
I went home that night feeling very low about everything and I was discussing with my husband how depressed I was. His reply was ‘Robyn, I have had enough of this negativity and it’s about time you did something about it.’
My husband and I worked out a training schedule and eating plan, making sure that we still made time for the children.
I joined a 24-hour gym – this way I had no excuse to skip training.
After a few short weeks I started to see some visible differences. I was so excited that after only a short period of time I was seeing progress. I realised that I had become mentally and physically stronger.
After four weeks, my clothes were getting loose and my motivation to keep going was peaking. I realised that if I trained even harder and stayed on track with my diet it would all finally come together.
I have learnt so much about nutrition and how my body reacts to different methods of training that I really feel I can incorporate this exercise regime into our busy lifestyle. After completing the challenge, I feel amazing. I am optimistic about my future and even happier to commit to a longer and healthier lifestyle.
This challenge has really taught me what living life is all about. For the first time in my life I was recently call a 'Yummy Mummy'. As you can imagine my self confidence is now leading the way.
