No more excuses; my motto for 2016 when associated with University, relationships, and most of all, a raw, healthy lifestyle. Most of my life I have been somewhat active, doing some sort of sport two to three times a week, however last year this seemed to change. With Year 12 becoming increasingly difficult, I made the decision to remove myself from these sporting teams to allow for more time to study and focus on assessments. In doing so, my relatively 'healthy' body and mindset seemed to escape quite rapidly.
Weight quickly began to accumulate on my body yet I didn't seem to care, at all. I was settled into a long term relationship and honestly couldn't care less about my body and my health. At some stage late last year I caught my reflection in the mirror and I couldn't even remotely recognise the body that was in front of me, I was beyond ashamed. Having become extremely lazy, my first thoughts were to rely on meal replacements and weight loss supplements to do the job for me, however it only made me realise more that it was time for no more excuses. 

I began by signing up to an all women's gym, got in touch with an amazing personal trainer and started my journey to a more healthy lifestyle and wellbeing. Since then, I have lost quite a considerable amount of weight (gained a few Kgs over Christmas holidays) and I have felt absolutely incredible. No more headaches, no more fatigue, and no more postural problems. My diet has completely changed from what it once was, consisting of very little meat, a lot of raw green vegetables and fruit and absolutely no added sugar or carbohydrates. I now see my personal trainer two to three times a week and try to also fit in regular walks/cardio when possible. A healthy diet and exercise is honestly the best, most healthy way to shake off that excess weight.

2016, there will be no more excuses.
