Hello and welcome to my brand new blog! I have decided to start this blog to aid me on my journey that begins tomorrow - the 21 Day Sugar Detox (as I type those words, I am cringing on the inside and outside).
Now - the big question. Why would any sane 23 year old female decided to give up sugar? No more sweet treats? No more after work wine? No more CHEESE?!
As somebody who has spent the past 16 years of my life battling with my weight, I know when my body needs a break. An important thing to know about me is that I am not a tall person. I am exactly 159cm tall, and if I eat a cheeseburger you can tell. Over the past eight years, my weight has fluctuated between 57 - 72 kg, and I am finally sitting on the lower end of that scale. Last year, my work competed in a Biggest Loser competition, and although I was not the winner, I finally lost that final 5 kg that has been bugging me for the past two years. For me, this was a major change in my lifestyle. I began a combination of boot camps and running, as well as regular spin classes. I also changed my eating completely - cutting back on the carbs and upping the amount of protein. I finally felt positive about my figure, as well as my well being. However, lately I have been very slack. Long, stressful hours at work (I am a primary school teacher) combined with late night indoor netball games have meant I have been going back to the easy options - cue toasted sandwiches at 9pm with a lovely big glass of wine (or three)! Although I have been maintaining my weight, I can feel the flab coming back and I do not want to get back into my previous cycles.
So, this is where the detox begins. On here, I will be posting what I am eating, as well as workouts that I have been doing. Fingers crossed this will be the push in the right direction that I need!
