Bless you in Disguise

With summer styling in all fashionista's are gearing up to show off their superlative bodies. Size 26-40, all included, men and women are fired up to achieving that perfect Malidu Beach look. 
It's not just about losing weight but getting the right attitude to match your bikini, wearing life with confidence and pride. It's a good time to shake off the winter kilo's and to enter summer with grace and a healthy disposition. 

I know that my gym regime has been very unforgiving, but It will be all worth it in the end. My motto is:' If I punish myself today, I'll reap my rewards tommorrow". So here I am working myself to the bone, working on every tricept, bicept, eating 2 provita's as a meal, jogging at 6 am, only to have some "Koeksuster and vetkoek' eating slob sneeze all over me. I'd only been exercising a few weeks so my reflexs were not sharp enough to dogde the oncoming missile. All I felt was a hail of mucus running down the back of my neck, a velvety green to match my cardigan. Thanks, just what I needed on my life's catwalk. Now I'm styling: a flu by 'Some-lousy-shop assistant'. Dion Chang would so be proud of me!

Where the hell was Captain mucus canonball when everyone else was getting sick? Does he realise he's just thrown me off schedule? I'll be axactly three weeks, and two tissue boxes late into summer. Fashionably late? I think snot, agh, not!

okay ladies this is what I've done.

i weighed 56 kg in Feb when I joined gym and I was losing a kilo every month until i read the book called "Skinny Bitch" it changed my eating life.

i stopped taking sugar, coffee, dairy products (this was easy bcos they bloat me anyway) and meat (and i mean beef, chicken, fish and everything that has meat in it)

I became Vegan basically not Vegeterian(there's a difference)

i soldiered on for months, it was hard I'm telling you but i got used to it.  The nicest about it was that I could eat my carbs without gaining any weight and I continued going to gym as well. I was not starving myself at all and I was not doing it to loose weight but for health reasons.

yhoo did i shed my weight people, i now weigh 49kg.

I'm skinny and the worse part about it is that people are giving me those stares, some r even saying ngine nculazi. Black people , a person cannot loose weight without them saying nasty things.

It's bad bathong especially my colleaques, the way the look at me. but I'm loving myself am feeling lighter and look, and when wearing just undies I look like a FHM cover gal LOL.

I recommend that you read the book very informative, it talks about all the chemicals they put into the food that we eat every day and we wonder why we get fat and sick

nice

Oh shame trixy, just hang in there and nurse yourself.

I am also a health fanatic, and I get depressed when I get a cold, as that means no gym and the strange thing is periods will come after that an find myself missing gym for the full two weeks, only to go back and realise my fitness levels have dropped, mcm.

I am good with cardio, but struggling with the core exercises you know I cant do abs workout as well as aerobics

No no no Storrm, just add food with more fibre (Kelloggs High fibre brans)nje in your daily intake qha!!!!! 
And drink at least 2litres of water. U need not deprive you body of essential nutrients found on those food.
