Part 3 in our real life health series tells the incredible story of Hannah Wilson prepare to be amazed!

January seems like an absolute age away right?

Did you begin a health and fitness plan merely’barely to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure lost in the middle of it, wondering what happened?

Do you feel utterly puzzled after reading with regards to’concerning’with respect to a billion articles relating to weight loss, or how to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure intense’fierce’exquisite er, or how to lose fat and gain lean muscle etc. etc.?

What I’m really trying to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure at is that when we consider setting goals, we can be overwhelmed by the bombardment of inin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mation available to us and this can all too often end up in a loss bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e we possess’own’nurse even got going!

I m hoping that in reading my story, you may find some inspiration to help you on your way.

My name is Hannah and I am a wife as well as a mummy to three lovely children, aged 13, 7 and 4. My journey truly began after I had my son 4 years ago. My body has undergone some huge transform’alter s; going from a fit and healthy 20 something, to being overweight after having my 7 year old daughter, then going on to become the lightest I possess’own’nurse ever been whilst breastfeeding my little baby boy and trying to juggle working with family life. I despite’in spite of’albeit t I was eating like a horse, but I could not retain any weight. I was running in/with regard to’concerning’regarding fitness and setting myself taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s by entering into events – I’ve always been incredibly competitive and goal propel n, so it seemed like the right thing in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me to do.

Hang on a minute…that all seems OK right?

I was slim.

I was seemingly managing life.

I was fit.

But, if you dug a little deeper, into a place that is rather an uncomin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table zone in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me, I ll let you in on what was really going on.

The truth is I was skinny.  I wasn’t really eating abundant’ample’plentiful in/with regard to’concerning’regarding my body to do some of the vital things it needs to do, like keep my heart beating and balance my hormones. On top of that, I was expecting it to be capable of running in/with regard to’concerning’regarding miles on end and still possess’own’nurse abundant’ample’plentiful energy and fuel to be able to feed my baby simultaneous’synchronous ! I was also hormonally unbalanced and as a consequence was often snappy and emotional.

Uh oh…not rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent , in/with regard to’concerning’regarding me or my friends and family!

So, what happened between then and now?

Well, I started attending a local fitness bootcamp with the aim of becoming intense’fierce’exquisite er and hoping to add some shape to my body. In doing so, I began to realise that I needed to up my intake of rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent food and to stop running myself into the ground literally!

By introducing stand up to withstand ance exercise with free weights and my own bodyweight, I started to see results. Not merely’barely could I see a transform’alter in my physical appearance, but I also noticed that I was less prone to injury. I was still intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully hesitant to do too much weight lifting however, as I was concerned with regards to’concerning’with respect to my body becoming too huge and bulky. The despite’in spite of’albeit t of this now seems absolutely ridiculous to me, as I possess’own’nurse now re-trained as a Personal Trainer and know full well that weights are an essential element to rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent , all over, long term fitness. I possess’own’nurse qualifications in Weight Training, Strength Conditioning, TRX, Kettlebells and Nutrition to name but a few. I possess’own’nurse a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to create a healthy body and to ultimately live a healthy and balanced life. Most significant’essential’critical’vital’crucial’indispensable’imperative of all, I possess’own’nurse personal undergo and can relate to a whole host of struggles that I hear on a daily basis from my clients.

I possess’own’nurse been there, I understand.

So, bootcamp was doing wonders, but my competitive edge was still there and was itching in/with regard to’concerning’regarding something else. At that point one of the coaches saw something in me and inspired me to step out of my comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding t zone and into the world of weightlifting and competitive Crossfit. Over the past two years I possess’own’nurse worked solidly to develop skills, enhance’promote’polish up strength and gain muscle. I am healthy, I know how to apply a programme to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure results, how to eat in a healthy way in/with regard to’concerning’regarding optimal perin/with regard to’concerning’regarding mance and how to include rest to achieve a balanced approach. The results are sustainable because my metabolism is fired up.

I eat.

I exercise in a way that promotes strength.

I rest to let my muscles recover and grow.

I enjoy life.

I’m happy.

RESULT!

I now compete in some of the top Crossfit events and my aim is to reach Regional Level at The Crossfit Games 2016.

I didn’t start by saying I was going to lift up 120kg on a barbell…I started with a piece of old PVC pipe and learnt rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent in/with regard to’concerning’regarding m first.

This is apparently’manifestly’noticeably’evidently not a taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure in/with regard to’concerning’regarding eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullybody, but it is a guide to others that you are capable of reaching your goals.

My Advice
Set goals – Keep to simple specific taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s that are realistic. Break them down into manageable chunks. Seeing progress is the key to success. If you want to look more toned, lose weight and possess’own’nurse more energy, trying to accomplish all of these things at once is largely unachievable. Instead, try concentrating on eating wholesome food spread across 3 meals and 2 snacks a day in/with regard to’concerning’regarding 2 weeks. Review your progress. Set the next taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure .
Seek help and be accountable Sometimes we all need a little help to understand what it is we actually need to do. Guidance along the way can help us stay focused and will mean we are far less likely to come unstuck.
Be prepared to step out of your comin/with regard to’concerning’regarding t zone – This is where great things happen.
Learn In the process you will learn with regards to’concerning’with respect to yourself, gain understanding of what you need to do to reach your goals and be more confident.  As you come out the other side, the result will be a physically and mentally intense’fierce’exquisite woman; YOU!
