This picture was taken in the summer and is one of very few taken as I have been avoiding cameras for about the last 7 years!!! I won't bore you with the dark days of the last 7 years but what I will say is that I woke up one morning and didn't recognise the person in the mirror...more importantly I didn't 'feel' the same person. I had always loved exercise..I played tennis obsessively & loved aerobics but when life events took over and I stopped putting myself first I quickly slipped out of the exercise habit and before I knew it I was buying size 22 clothes. One thing that never changed though was that people around me cared very much about me and through steady persistence, a wonderful colleague at work (yes that's you Ruth!!), introduced me to Jane's classes. I felt so welcomed and at ease and it has been the catalyst I needed-my week is not complete without my exercise and over the last 3 months I have steadily increased the number of classes I do. It is fantastic to hear people commenting on how my shape is changing and I am 2 stone 12 lbs lighter than when this picture was taken !!! So my aim over the next month of blogging is to try and break the back of the next stone so I'll be giving you weight loss updates and a new picture as we go. One of the things I am particularly interested in is how my sleep patterns and energy levels are changing. Having said that it is time for me to go to bed now.....night night xxxxFriday, 6 November 2009

Hi Jayne, I have been so impressed with your hard work over the last few months and yes I have definitely noticed how great you're looking! I'm so excited to now share the next few steps with you - keep up the hard work, Love Jane x
ReplyDeleteHi Jayne, Well done you, you should be very proud of yourself. I am feeling very inspired since reading your "about me" story. I am now even more convinced of the power of excercise. I am hoping that this challenge will change my lifestyle too. Good luck on the last but often hardest part of your journey. Karen XX
