Hi, I'm Amanda :)Hi All! I have been meaning to post and introduce myself for ages, but I have so much going on at the moment... new job which is only temp, heaps of interviews, studying, paying attention to my boyfriend (fiance, whatever), and trying - TRYING - to do some exercise!
So here I am - my name is Amanda, I'm 26 (27 in a few weeks), live in Sydney Australia, just got engaged over Christmas, have been chubby my whole life. Highest weight was 88.5kg about 3 years ago. Lowest was 74kg 2 and a half years ago, and am now back up to 86kg!
I have no choice but to lose the weight this time - and no, not for the wedding. To be honest I dont think thats a major motivator for me, as we have been together for 5 years already, so a wedding is just a formality. Besides, I'm not a very girly-girl (well I am, actually) but I dont dream about being a fairy princess on my wedding day, so thats not such a big deal.
No, my motivation is that I want to quit my job and work from home. I have a year to get myself prepared (promised I would retire on my 28th birthday). I am studying to be a beautician and make up artist, and I have recently decided that I want to be a personal trainer too! I can make people over in more ways than one!
In order to be a good PT I have to look the part, and thats where the weight loss comes in. I will be my own first success story :)
I think thats enough of an intro - you can follow my adventures here: www.missm.org/challenge
I separated my challenge blog from my regular one so I can keep it a little more private. Feel free to comment on both blogs, but please dont mention weight stuff on the main one :)
Cheers
Amanda
