Why have I entered this contest? First of all I have been dead lazy for the past 6 months. I put on 15kgs of fat in three months after going onto meds for depression, the meds block the message that I have eaten from the tum to the brain, so brain thinks it's starving slows down my metabolism and turns everything I eat to fat, and I felt starving so ate more.
I did take control of my food intake this time last year so I haven't put on any weight since then. I started going to the gym and kept that up till about June then I stopped going, thinking back I cut down my meds then and that could have had a lot to do with my lack of motivation.
With my Dr's consent I stopped the meds for three months and started Jon Benson's Every Other Day Diet which is good for me as it makes meals very simple. I house share with a friend who is a cook so my evening meal is taken care of most nights. I dropped 4kgs and 5cm from my waist so I feel pretty motivated to keep going. I lost the kilos without doing any exercise at all so I am confident that I can lose at least 10kgs and reshape my body using the TT for fat loss program.
I have also had to go back on my meds so my first 4 weeks will be to test if I can lose fat and tone up while on the meds. If I don't get results I will talk to my doc about changing to something else. I really want to give it a good trial while on the meds because there are a lot of people who are suffering out there and if I can do it then they can too.
So today I went to the gym and rode a bike for 6 minutes, did TT beginers workout and went on the eliptical machine for 3 minutes. I am so not fit but the only exrecise I am not good at is side plank but I can at least get my hip of the ground for a fast count to five.
I am going to a Zumba class tomorrow morning so will report on how I get on.
