I stumbled across Alex Neilan and Sustainable Change by chance four months ago. It popped up on You Tube at a time when I was feeling unhappy with myself and how I looked. I was growing out of my size 12 clothes, I felt frumpy and uncomfortable and was spending more time than I care to admit sitting on the sofa watching TV. I had no incentive to do anything. Alex's message was different and interesting. He seemed genuine and the idea that at my age ( early 70's) I could lose weight and 'sustain' that loss was intriguing. He talked of "investing in your health" and "putting yourself first" stating that it is not selfish. Initially there is a lot to get your head around and it was overwhelming but that eased as I settled into the programme. I love that things are personalised, taking into account a client's health, mobility level and food preferences. That is so different to the weight loss programmes I've tried before. I have a personal Coach - Greg - who supports and encourages me every step of the way. The wider TSD ( The Sports Dietician) team share their knowledge and expertise and I am learning SO much! The holistic approach is powerful as it informs and instructs and tackles the mindset issues behind weight gain. I now understand the importance of the different food groups, why I need to exercise and strategies for altering my negative self talk. Knowing the 'why' has made a huge impact on my motivation and I am making progress and celebrating my 'wins' with pride. What has changed in such a short space of time? I have lost 10 kg and 43cms round my body; gone from an overflowing size 12 to a trim size 10. I even have two size 8 items in my wardrobe. Unheard of! I have changed from a night owl to a morning lark and love taking an early morning walk. The TV is virtually redundant as I am busy walking, doing my workouts at home or in the gym - and enjoying them which is a surprise, even when I don't want to go. I say 5 4 3 2 1 go and get out of the door. Listening to Alex's lives and joining in a Mastermind session about health, nutrition or mindset has helped to reshape my thinking. The ongoing support is second to none! I often comment on other people's wins on our community group chat. It's SO uplifting!Where would I be if I hadn't found TSD in March? Still a couch potato, frumpy, unhappy and looking at years ahead of the same and not being fit enough to enjoy doing things with my grandchildren. I've renewed my zest for life and am SO thankful to ALL the TSD team. They truly care. I'm loving the journey.If you are nervous I would say don't be! As Alex would say "The time is now" so 5 4 3 2 1 Do it. You won't regret it. Trust the process and find your inner self.
