I have always said that I practice what I preach, and I do, most of the time. I aim to exercise regularly, stretch and look after my body. My diet is okay, but could be a lot better. I definitely eat more ‘bad’ stuff than I should. Recently, I saw a 10 week summer body challenge advertised and thought this will be a great opportunity to be a bit more diligent with my exercise and diet. Continue reading to see what program I am doing and the 'before' photos.
As with most of these challenges it will be easy to start and then not finish. I bet the thoughts “no-one will know, so what will it matter if I give up half way through” are a common occurrence with fitness or health goals. To try and reduce the chance of this happening with me, I have decided to post a blog with my before photos and then I can follow up when I finish and see what I will be able to achieve in 10 weeks.
I have never posted photos before, but hopefully it will be good motivation to carry it through to the end. I will have some challenges, namely the birth of our second child in 3 weeks’ time, but hopefully the lack of sleep and reduced free time will not affect the results too much.
Here are my before photos.

This 10 week challenge consists of following an exercise program as well as a healthy eating plan. I don’t use the term diet, but basically it is about clean eating (cutting out processed food and sugar). So far, the food has been great. I wonder how my body will react with cutting out a lot of the sugar and processed food?
For more information on the program I am following you can visit www.therobardsmethod.com. There are tons of similar programs out there, but this is one that works for me. The reason I like this program is that it uses Olympic rings, a pull up bar, a band and that is all. I don't have rings at home but have a TRX so I am using that instead. As there is no other equipment, I can do it all at home which is very helpful.
I will keep you posted on my progress. I am sure my body will thank me for it :)
