The Third Day

So I also work out in the gym...

One day I was faced with a strange predicament.

I truly hit physical rock bottom, my Mum told me I was fat. So I looked in the mirror... and by jove was she right!

What I saw in the mirror was not the same person I had known to care about, I had more handles than a door knob... There was nothing to love about them whatsoever.

I said to myself... What the hell can I do to rectify this?

So immediately started Googling gyms and trying my hardest to find the best price and facility packages available, I was coming across averages of £40-£100 per month and I was not best pleased.

Thankfully I remembered a gym I had came across about a year ago and I decided to give them a go.
They had been offering a £6 a week deal for the first 75 applications. I would be a fool to pass up that opportunity!

I went down there and the customer service was top notch, it was newly refurbished and had updated and new facilities, free classes and even a nutrition cafe. I knew I had found my new home.

Initially I was a bit self conscious working out without a hoodie on, but as I saw the results start to work over the weeks, I gradually was able to up my reps and weights and walk around with a vest on.

I was shocked when once I had altered my diet, cut out the fast food, I was saving in excess of £150 per month and I was able to eat healthy meals and feel more energetic simultaneously. You get a buzz from losing a stone and a half of fat in 2 and a half weeks (circa 19 stones and 5lbs to about 18 stones and 12lbs), the compliments you get and the self confidence it builds is second to none. My strength and stamina is up and I can sleep like a log most nights. When I get a sugar craving, I just snack on some fresh fruit. Good times indeed.

I said to myself... I won't be going back to the old me any time soon and I intend to stick to that.
