The Road to Fitness Starts Here
The past few months have not been the easiest for me – somehow, between getting everything sorted out for our wedding, then going on honeymoon, and getting back into the swing of things, my training program was forgotten. Then Winter arrived, and getting up early for morning training sessions became more and more difficult, and I have managed to pick up almost 10kgs 
I got quite a fright when I went to the doctor this week for a checkup, and saw that the scale had tipped over the 70kg mark!!! My ideal weight for my height is somewhere between 56 and 60kgs, so I definitely have some work to do!
I spent some time online looking for some local running races to keep me motivated, and have put together a training program so that I don’t just go from race to race, which would be stupid. The next step is to find my old weight training and abs workouts, and add those to my schedule, and find my old eating plan (from a dietitian – I definitely believe that eating properly is the way to lose weight, quick weight loss just results in even quicker weight gain).
I have had a really lazy Sunday so far, but I am determined to go for a run this afternoon! I’m aiming for a nice relaxed 10km run, but will be taking it easy 
So – my new training regime will consist of 2 short runs during the week, a longer run on the weekend, 3 weight/abs sessions at the gym, 1 or 2 spinning sessions, and some time spent on the squash court. I’m going to stick to the eating plan, and I’m going to try to lose 500g a week, that way it’s more likely to stay off in the long run!
What do you do to stay motivated to stick to your training and eating plans?? I suspect that I will need some help, so any suggestions will be welcome
