4 weeks to kill the fat

So,

I have four weeks left before I have to walk down the aisle.

Four weeks left to enjoy the culmination of all the hard work and effort friends and family have put into the wedding

Four weeks to look gooder naked!!

SAY WHAT?!!

Now, I can honestly say my usual inconsistency did get the better of me. After completing Insanity, I grew complacent and down right lazy and trust me it showed. But in the months of February and March, I had time to relax a little bit. Doing truck loads of assignments really didn't help but now that a majority of it is over, I have no excuse - and no time to slip up and faff around! 

The first place my laziness showed was my belly. Boy did it start to roll out. And the my thighs felt like they were embracing each other like they are long lost relatives. I have to say I've come a long way so to undo it all now would be a darn shame. I promised myself I wouldn't be a fat bride and for the most part that is true but the real test comes when there is no clothes to hide behind. 

So you might be thinking, why am I so fussed? Why can't I just be happy with my current results and chill out? The reason is this. I am still not where I'd like to be but don't get me wrong, I am definitely not where I was before and quite proud of the achievement - hallelujah praise His name! But if I don't feel happy in my own skin then I won't feel sexy in my own skin, and I plan on feeling sexy and getting sexy too; I'll be a married woman!! Now bless my dear loving fiancé, I know he loves me now and before when I was bigger, and finds me attractive and such- he tells me often enough, but I still want to make his jaw drop and may be even pass out a little - who knows. So I'm doing it for me, for him and for health! 

Certain conditions are in the family as it is and well I'd like to be healthy and I've used getting married as a platform to really take my health seriously but I still plan to maintain after the wedding. I'm no good to anyone dead or dying because of my own personal neglect of health, so I shall indeed do all I can to do this right.

My promises to myself:

I will be healthier

I will be fitter

I will be sexier

and I will be better off because of it.

It is working so I have no reason to stop, and I do feel better for starting already! So first goal to be achieved in 4 weeks:

Look good naked!! 

and hopefully come June 9th won't be thinking.....

Peace and love peeps!!

bride 2 be not wide 2 be

It's been a long time since I last blogged about my fitness journey especially in regards to getting my bride body together.
This has been my longest yet most successful fitness journey. I've been trying since my teen years to get to a size where I felt comfortable physically and mentally and like 10+ years later I finally had the impetus to be consistent hence why I said this is my longest and most successful.

Let's see what success looks like for me.

Wearing a jumper I had since college which couldn't fit me back then

March 2014 - wedding attire, hot like fiyah!

So you see, it has been working and it was definitely the deathly experience of the insanity workout programme where I saw the most results. 

Now the workout has been over for 2 months I have to maintain and refine.

Abs are insight I just have to eat right and (sigh) workout with Shaun T again cos it works for me.

My gym days, I have not forgotten and I will return to it after the wedding because I do like gym but for now its me and attempting to eat cleaner. Home made, smoothies and soups and plenty fruit and veg has seen me shift 3 lbs in just over a week.

I will succeed....God is more than able to continue to see me through this....because I ain't got much self control so I'm leaning on Jesus control!
