Like many people, I never had to worry about gaining weight in my younger years. However, as the years went by and life became busier, the pounds started to creep on. Whilst I had always exercised and played sports, I had let this slip so I started going to the gym and jogging again but I could never get the results I was looking for. There was one thing I had never done though and that was to be fully accountable for what I ate. It started with weighing the porridge oats I had for breakfast every morning and the more I worked out exactly what I was eating, the more it became apparent what was holding me back. By being fully accountable for my nutrition in conjunction with following a resistance based training programme and walking 45 minutes 3-4 times a week, I lost 9kg. I now have complete control over the way I look and feel… and so can you!
