and so it begins

I can happily say that today was NOT a false start. I got up at 8am, headed to the gym before the first show (which was nowhere near as painful as I'd imagined), did the matinee (which felt quicker & easier than usual), went back to the gym, home to cook a healthy meal & am chilling right now before the second show.

Gym workout involved 30 mins on the cross trainer, a core circuit and legs/triceps/back (split between the two sessions). Diet is as follows: Kiwi fruit & OJ for breakfast, ham/lettuce/fat free mayo sandwich on grainy bread for lunch, protein bar mid-show, small bowl vege fried rice & paddlepop for dinner.

To help kick-start my program, I've decided to do a 5 day detox which will hopefully leave me feeling healthier and also speed up the weight loss. Due to the stomach problems I'm prone to, yet not being able to afford all the testing, I figure this is a cheap way to attempt get myself feeling better until I can get to a doctor. Please note that the detox involves a supplement which is taken along with a healthy diet - not some crazy juice cleanse which involves starving for a week! Go to www.skinnymini.com.au for more information. I will closely track my progress.

As far as my measurements go, these are them as of last night (and weight as of this morning):

Bust: 89cm

Waist: 57cm

Navel: 75cm

Hips: 94cm

Thighs: 56cm

Calves: 35cm

Arms: 27.5cm

Weight: 58.8kg

I also decided to take photos tomorrow (day 1 of detox) and on the 5th day of the detox to accurately track how successful it is. Stay tuned!
