I’m halfway and now there’s no stopping me

I’m so excited to have lost eight kilos and I can’t believe it’s been so easy.

Three kids and a busy career, life gets so hectic, but being on Jenny has really been a no brainer… You know, I make a point of having date night once a week, and occasionally have the odd sneaky glass of wine (you might have seen some images in magazines?). But that’s what I learnt – with Jenny, you know, you can still live – that’s the whole point of the program - it adapts to your lifestyle.

I hate diets. Diets are crap and everyone knows it’s really bloody hard to lose weight by yourself. You need to have a support system and, if you haven’t got your husband or your friends doing it with you, Jenny’s there.

My favourite foods - I love the chicken puffs, the chicken korma, fish and chips, and the chicken parmigiana. You know, my girls try and steal my chicken puffs all the time, so instead of telling them off I’ve had to order more just to have extras in the pantry for Stephen and the kids!

I’ve always been into exercise but as mum it feels like there’s not enough hours in my day to go for the long runs like I used to and getting to the gym was tough with three kids. So what I started doing is running on the treadmill and my favourite form of exercise is now with my kids, I just can’t help it – I have to dance with them! We have our own little dance-offs which is always fun and ends up with lots of giggling girls on the floor.

I had a fabulous Christmas with my family, loads of presents and great family feasts but I had learnt from Jenny what were the good options on the table rather than eating a bit of everything. I’ve learnt what a good size plate is and not to pile it up with everything. It was all about moderation.

So, now I’m halfway to my goal and boy, I feel great! I feel lighter, I have more energy. I wake up in the mornings now and I don’t feel so slow anymore. I’m more like, “Hello world!”

So, watch out, another 7 kilos to go and there’s no stopping me now!
