apple/banana smoothie is great healthy yummy breakfast. Well done trying to lay off the junk food too. You need to find a way to gradually wean a new diet into your busy lifestyle. Its better to have something healthy you like than eat something unhealthy right!

Saw your comment on my blog – thanks. I know what you mean about the gym, it is very intimidating at first. So you don’t feel like a spare wheel I would go in and talk to one of the instructors there (scary I know – but pluck up the courage and their really quite helpful – they would much rather help you than some twig who thinks their fat when their not! People like you and me are the reason most of them became health and fitness instructors in the first place!). Normally they do a free gym induction with you for about an hour were they work out with you and chat about your goals. Then you can work out there with someone and aren’t just wandering around looking awkward not knowing what to do. It’ll help you feel more relaxed. Also going with your friend at times would help as you would also be with someone.

Until next time!

Also next time you are at the gym, take a careful look around – I’ll bet there are people of all shapes and sizes there. And if not – its not exactly like they need to be there is it?! Keep your head held high and go for it!
