Fresh start

I have been neglecting this blog for months now. But recently I realised how much I missed it.
I have done really well in the last few months and lost eight pounds. I feel great for it and everyone is noticing and commenting.
It all comes from a few simple changes. I swapped out certain foods and started bulking out my meals with vegetables. I don't eat after tea and have managed to control the greed.
I am still a sugar fiend but it is much more controllable now.
All I did was educate myself. By no means am I an expert on fitness and nutrition but I know a lot more than I did.
It is easy to figure out what is good for you, bad for you, a better choice once you are a bit more aware of the ingredients in certain foods.
Almost every body will have heard of this now but eating clean really is the way forward. Don't get me wrong I don't eat clean constantly but most of my meals consist of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and proteins. It is easy to stick to because it is all delicious, who doesn't love a fruit salad, especially topped off with Greek yoghurt?
So it dawned on me when my work colleagues were once again grilling me for being "obsessed" and friends were coming to me for tips on how to cook things. This is what I should do for a living.
Obviously I am a million miles away from making a career out of fitness and nutrition. But I am already in the media industry which is where I want to be but now I have a passion and the two can come together.
I have always loved cooking and have been a gym addict for a good year now but I know enough to do both the safe, healthy way.
I hope one day I can work for one of my favourite magazines that focus on these topics. Where best to start then blogging about what I am doing for myself.
So keep following for updates on great recipes, workouts and more.
In the next blog I will tell you all about my 21 Day Challenges.
