So before I take you on my health journey next year I am going to tell you a little bit about myself, to fill you in on why I am doing this project...
My name is Amanda. I am 31 and a mum of two. After my daughter, my body bounced back pretty fast, but after my son.... my problems started showing. I have this “extra layer” hanging around my waist line that I just can seem to get rid of, no matter what I try. Now I totally understand and appreciate the fact that my body has changed after creating two little people, and I love my body, but I would just like a few places to be a bit more toned then they currently are.
Also, two years ago my partner asked me to marry him and with a wedding set for early 2020, I would love to have a nice, shapely body that looks stunning in a gown. Superficial... maybe... but it would make me happy, and to me, that’s something to work towards.
I also am looking at a change of career, and I wanting to do something that gets me motivated and passionate about health and fitness, so I want to be a living example to inspire others that a healthy lifestyle is the way to go.
I guess throughout my life, I have seen too many people suffer with illnesses that could have been eliminated by a cleaner lifestyle. High cholesterol and diabetes are becoming more and more common, and it scares me that this is the lifestyle that my kids are going to grow up knowing unless something is done about it. It really hit home for me when I got gestational diabetes in my second pregnancy, and was told that because of this I had a higher risk of getting diabetes later in life. That is something that I don’t want. So this journey is towards a better, healthier me... and if I gain friends along the way that have similar values and thoughts, it’s a bonus.
So that is my reasoning behind my fit for 2020 project. I hope you will follow me on my journey and interact. Give me tips or tricks that have worked for you or someone you know and let’s all work together for a better, healthier and most of all, happier future.
See you next year when the real fun begins!!
