I’m a mum of 2, rather independent little children. They keep me very much on my toes, and part of my reason for working with Loz is to be able to keep up with them.
Before joining the gym I was a bit of a hot mess. I was tired and emotional, I turned to food at lot, to sort of, get me through each day, like, I was just surviving.
When I first met Loz I straight away felt a connection and I was able to open up about things that I, sort of, held back, even from myself for a long time. Joining the gym was my chance to reset and find me again, and doing pilates with Loz and her dietflex program has really helped me get a sense of me.
Especially doing pilates, I’ve found a strength within myself again, which I’d really missed, I know that it had gone until I can actually sit up straight now and I’ve got posture again.
It’s crazy, now I actually spend, it only takes me half an hours once or twice a week and I sit down with my partner and we go through, right, what have we got on this week, we’re gonna meal plan, so these are the things we’ve got on this day so we’re gonna make something easy for that day and we work out meals for the week, and then I go and shop the next morning while he takes the kids to swimming so we’ve actually got a plan, which we’ve never had, we’ve just kind of rolled from day to day.
I’ve definitely dropped one dress size. When I realised that, I was like, everything is too big and I said, “I need to go buy new clothes”. It was really exciting. I haven’t bought new clothes for me, apart from, like, bare essential clothes, for such a long time and to go out and go, “I have to go buy smaller stuff”, so I can actually feel comfortable at the gym because things aren’t sliding weirdly. That’s been great.
