I am so excited about how things are going I thought I would post a photo from the day I started my new lifestyle and a photo that was taken yesterday.
I have had another awesome fist pump moment since my last post and I just had to share it with you (whether you like it or not!) because I am so proud of myself.
Last week I was feeling like poo. Getting very dizzy and nearly fainting. This is not like me so I reluctantly took myself off to the doctors and shelled out $70, that could've been spent on a pair of awesome shoes, to find out what could be causing this awful feeling. As it turned out it was a great reason that was causing these symptoms and I can't believe I didn't work it out for myself! For the first time in years I had low blood pressure!
Even when I was skinnier than I am now I still needed blood pressure tablets. I always joke that I am a high performance vehicle and I run on the good stuff and I was so used to taking the tablets that I didn't think this would be what was causing all the problems.
Now, thanks to regular exercise and a healthy diet, I am drug free and still have low blood pressure! I have also noticed that I am not as anxious as I used to be and I have a lot more confidence in myself and I am a lot more relaxed and I have ever been!
This awesome feeling certainly is worth all the effort! I will admit that I have been missing my chocolate and wine but I have started introducing small doses back into my diet and have still been losing weight. I now have faith in myself that I am strong enough to do anything without using wine or chocolate as a crutch to make me feel happy. From now on I will stick to my exercise and instead of having regular wine, chocolate and coffee I will treat myself to some new shoes instead! Luckily shoes don't have any calories I would definitely be in trouble.
I look forward to my next fist pump moment so I can share it with you :-)
