Obligatory first post..

Hello avid blog reader.
So I've decided that I really need to start a blog to better map my progress. I don't believe that seeing the kilos drop off each week will be enough for me to maintain my new healthy lifestyle. I also want to look back at my blog as a 65kg version of myself to see how far I've come!
So a bit about me, I initially wrote this a few weeks before the 12WBT started as part of a pre season task;


My names Erin, I'm 19 and currently have a most unsatisfactory BMI.
I currently live and work in Sydney as an Administrator for an Insurance company. Even though I'm only 19 I've already gotten into a yo yo pattern with my weight. I joined my first gym when I was 17 and loved it, I lost about 30 kilos through their in house weight loss program and felt amazing, inside and out. My weight started to pile on when I turned 18 and trekked off to university to study fine arts. My alcohol intake increased, my sleeping patterns became disjointed and my student budget led to cheap nasty foods. I was stressed and miserable, the university lifestyle was definitely not for me.
I quit uni last year in pursuit of a real job in the real world. For the first 6 months of my job I lived on the coast, 2 hours each way on the train. Those months of commuting took their final toll on my body- I was constantly exhausted and ill and completely unmotivated. I cancelled my gym membership, and essentially gave up.

Thankfully though, I moved to Sydney a few months ago and feel like its time to take control of my life again..
I've joined a new gym near work with a butt load of classes and I'm already making efforts to eat more vegies and less hot chips (my weakness). I'm sleeping more, exercising more and now have more time to love my life.


A friend at work got me onto the 12 Week Body Transformation. I'm hoping that through this program I can kickstart my weight loss and start building my life the way it should be. I'm so excited to get started and get back to that 17 year old Erin who was healthy, happy and motivated. 


Thats a brief history.. stay tuned for more!
