Week 12 of the Michelle Bridges 12-week body transformation is nearing to a close, and if nothing else, I’ve come to some major realisations.
- I am not an iron woman.
- I love swimming and jogging, but I do not do triathlons.
- I do enjoy healthy eating, but I need to eat more vegetarian meals (although I do love to eat meat!) and less dairy than I was consuming on this diet. Although, this is probably more to do with the options I was choosing.
- The more I exercise, the more I eat.
- I enjoy exercise, but I don’t like to kill myself over it.
- I enjoy a healthy lifestyle in general, so therefore didn’t have as much to gain from the program (or lose!) as others may.
Overall, the challenge was an eye-opener. It’s really, really hard to get up and exercise your guts out at 5.30 every morning – particularly if you’ve worked late or had a function on the night before.
The 12WBT program is excellent for self-discipline and education as to the quantities of food that we really should be eating. These are two concepts I will be sticking with.
It’s also excellent for weight-loss but when it’s the last five kilos, I think it gets a bit harder.
I mean, I love to exercise but I don’t want to look like a muscle-woman! I just want to be toned and healthy.
The exercises in this plan are pretty hard-core, and I do prefer light exercise as well as yoga. It’s far more relaxing and you still get the benefits of toning and cardio workouts.
That said, I will take elements of this program into the rest of my life and use these learnings to inform and make decisions on how I live my life in future.
To that point, this program is invaluable and I highly recommend it for anyone needing a kick-start into healthy lifestyle habits.
