28 day results!! 1/3rd way through

Last few days I've been thinking of things I want to write for my blog. Must start jotting them down because by the time I sit and write this I've forgotten. It's been a strange week for me. Haven't had much of Deborahs classes as she has been away. I've had some lingering cold that just got the better of me and to top it off a real sore hip from when I slipped. All the training I was going to do just didn't happen. So you can imagine how happy I was when Deborah came back from her hols! :)

I've had a week no money and practically a empty fridge and a freezer that I can actually see the bottom! Still not long till I'm back at work earning some money. As soon as I had been paid I was stood outside the supermarket for opening time! So glad I've actually got some fruit for breakfasts now. I was worried that I would start slipping back to old habits. Just glad that I can now concentrate on my exercise and can eat without worrying if Il have enough for the next day. I'm receiving so many compliments it really has had me thinking. I deserve the compliments I receive as I've worked so hard for this. I just needed a push in the right direction. Knowing that Deborah could see how much I wanted this I'm really grateful for. I was going to buy some new clothes but I've told myself not yet, I don't want to get comfortable where I am at the mo.this is not where I'm stopping. Years ago I received the compliments "you look good" "have you lost weight" "wow look at you" but nothing compares to how I feel right now. This time round I haven't cut corners, I haven't been on a shake diet or popping diet pills like they were my next meal. Next it will be exercise In a pill! People would still be fooled and buy it. Buy one get one free lol .

When i became so obsessed with the way i look, i turnt to diet pills.I somehow thought that i could take the pills and still eat what i ate. Reading magazines of celebrity's that have lost few pounds by diet pills had me searching for them on the net. If it was good enough for them it was good enough for me right? I must of rattled, always constantly searching for that new pill. The best bit about it all was, i wasn't even fat. I was just caught up with society of celebs and famous people racing to be the next Mrs/Mr Slim. So hell yeah i deserve the compliments this time round. The next thing i will have to battle are the green eyed monsters waiting to put me down because ive actually improved my life whilst they still haven't figured out what to do with theirs so they come meddling in mine. It will be comments like, "your disappear if you aint careful" or " are you missing few meals" Of course i know that you have to actually eat lots to loose weight consistently.

Next few weeks im not going to worry about the number on the scales, im going to be working on making lean muscle. This will actually sculpt my body and make it nicer. I want to show you all out there just what you can do if you actually work hard and push yourself. im so chuffed with my results so far. As most of you know my first 28 days is now up and this is what ive achieved so far......i went round to Deborahs house to be weighed, measured and my BPM (beats per minute) taken. well im gobsmacked,
my heat is beating 8 bpm less which shows that my diet and exercise has actually conditioned my heart. Thats fantastic, will be putting on extra years to my life if i keep this lifestyle up. Like the other half just informed me, "Its no good cycling 15 miles a day and then eating pork pies" I take it he means its all down to a balanced lifestyle.
24.5 INCHES lost (6.5 from my waist!) 1stone 4.5lb down but best of all 6.5% bodyfat reduction -
i cant stress enough of how happy i am right now. Im so glad im feeling better because im so ready for this next month! All the people bootcampers and kettlebellers from Deborah Welch fat and fitness have been such a great support. They tell me each week how well im doing, so positive and such lovely bunch of people, so a big thank you! And Deborah for believing in me,for giving me that push i needed. im looking foward to working with her for these next two months. :)
Heres a few pics,

My stomach is slightly smaller, ive lost few centimetres off my arms, my bottom has shrank massively and my face has also become more pronounced. For my first month with Deborah and 6months after giving birth im very happy with these results :) 
Ive just finished a session of weight training, back and legs we worked on. Tomorrow night is kettlebells, im so looking forward to it. Really wonder how im going to look at the end of this next part. The changes have happened so quick, people have noticed before i did. Now i really feel like im changing. Im not going to lie to you, it feels good where i am right now but im not stopping here. I have a wardrobe of clothes waiting for me to fit into them again!  So for those of you on your transformations or just starting , when you feel like giving up... Dont!  that feeling will pass, its just a feeling.... but when you actually can pull up your favourite jeans youve not worn for years and you get that feeling of hard work paying off, that lasts as long as you want it to :)
