Why Stop Now!! Thank You HSM!
01/04/12 • 4 Comments

Well, today is officially the end of my 12 week HSM and I can proudly say that I did it with ease!  Not one drop of alcohol!  It has totally changed the way I think about alcohol and I now realise that it was just a habit that I thought I needed in my life.  Wrong!   I am going to continue my HSM and am planning on doing 12 months now! I feel great and have lost weight (5Kgs),  I feel fitter and stronger both mentally and physically!  My weekends have been spent spending quality time with my family, exercising and generally getting things done! I am looking forward to continuing my HSM and am going to increase my training and get seriously fit and strong. Thank you HSM.  You have changed my life for the better and really opened up my eyes to what is important in life.

I am absolutley loving my HSM!  3 weeks down now and have not even come close to breaking my resolve.  My biggest challenge was last week when I went on a boys night out for Mexican and Pool.  I was happy with my water with dinner. While I was slightly tempted by all the Coronas around me, I stayed strong.  I got on the hard stuff when we moved on to the Pool hall, I had a Diet Coke!  Ha.  I was not pushed to drink by anyone and they understood why I was not drinking which helped me a lot.  Have been training hard at the Gym and was planning an awesome Mountain Bike ride on some new trails freshly built near my place this Sunday Morning but a back injury I sustained while playing with my boy  put a stop to that.  Instead the family got up early [...]

Well, First week is done and I’m feeling great!  I am loving being back in the gym and pulling on the gloves again!   I have had some great training sessions this week. Measurements taken this morning Weight – 78.4Kg – 1.5kg lost! – Waist – 90cm – 2cm lost! Have had no trouble staying alcohol free and have not felt tempted yet.  I have been enjoying a nice glass of soda water with fresh lemon juice and ice instead of a cold beer when I get home from work after a hot hard day! I am so glad I have signed up for my HSM as it is motivating me to improve all aspects of my life.  Bring on the nest 11 weeks and maybe more!

Starting Day One!

Starting Day One! –  Well it’s officially the start of a New Year and the start of a new healthy life style.  NYE eve was very mellow.  Only had three Corona’s so when my 14-month son woke up at 7am I was relatively ok, besides feeling tired!  I am now ready to start my HSM and stored any alcohol I could find in my back shed so I won’t be tempted. I was slightly depressed when I did my measurements – Weight – 80kg – Waist – 92cm This is the biggest I have ever been so I am so ready to change this!  The weather has put a dampener on going out and enjoying the day with my family, as it is 41.C!!  Ridiculous weather.  I will try and fit in some exercise at some point though.  Have started replacing two meals a day with shakes to give my [...]
