52Fit

Weight- 83.6kg Waist- 103cm   Notice I have not posted a selfie today.  Instead, here are two of my favourite buddies- Louie and Pepe.  What a couple of cuties!  About selfies though- I will post some here, I just need to get a little braver.  I have started a new Instagram account (  52f1t  ).  At the moment I'm just following some fit and lovely ladies.  I intend to post progress pics and other things there, because I figure, what better motivation than to declare to the world, that you have begun a transformation?  I mean, it would be super embarrassing to post my intentions and then have it fizzle out after a week and a half... I'm sure I'm not the only one that fears posting pics of themselves.  I didn't like it before, but now I REALLY don't like it.  I've been unwell for at least 3 years now, after all that time, sedentary behaviour and prednisilone use, I've been feeling bad about my body for a long time.  I tried ...

Today's snack Weight- 84 kg Waist- 106cm. Well, I've joined the gym.  Seems like a good place to train- clean, friendly, lots of equipment, but NO HEATING!  It certainly gets me moving. I'm planning on posting my food diary and exercise logs here (Oh the shame!)  At least, when I get myself organised.  I have forgotten about that little task called "Time Management"  again.  The plan at this stage is to do a full-body circuit, 3 times a week for 4 weeks.  I'll see how my body is holding up, if it's going well, I will begin a 4 or 5 day split.  The temptation is to jump right back into my 5 day split that I was following 4 years ago, but I have to remind myself, I'm nearly 52 and having a chronic illness means I can't go as hard as I would like.  They are hard things to come to terms with.   One thing I've really noticed just over the past week is that, I still have joint pains...but I don't seem to notice them as much.  My range of ...

Hi, my name is Deb.  My blog is called 52Fit because I will be 52 this year, I want to go from 50+ and unhealthy to- 52 and fit, however I am notoriously bad at being accountable to myself!  I'm hoping that posting these delightful (ahem, cough...) pictures of myself, food diary and exercise logs online will help me to stick to the plan. Let me tell you a little bit about myself... I've always enjoyed fitness activities, running, taekwondo and boxing. I've ridden bikes. I've been a swimmer, yogi and gym rat.  The last time I was fit was way back in 2017, when I did Maxine's Challenge and lost about 8kg and 20cm off my waist.  It's the fittest I've ever been...except I had a lot of injuries.  I just couldn't figure out why I was always in pain...my feet and ankles were sore and I had to stop running.  My hands and wrists were sore and I had to stop boxing.  Eventually, the shoulders, hips and neck joined the party- there was something wrong. The next tw...
