Rae's results after 4 weeks on the 6 Weeks GRIT challenge.
Rae is loving the Zing Wellbeing program
Rae shares, "We’ve had big changes to our lifestyle of late, and it has meant pulling back and focusing on our family dynamic. But I’m still here!
I’m 2kgs down today (6 Dec) and a whole load of belly bloat down already!
Slow and steady - week one
Weekly accountability check in 15 November.
My period is imminent so I wasn’t expecting any changes this week, excepting more bloating and a rise on the scales. My weight loss has always been a total sum of the month and looking for downward trends.
The scales haven’t moved but holding the line is all part of the process.
My food has been excellent, I’m eating to my calories, my protein target has been met, my water is exactly where it needs to be and I’m moving with my body with GRIT & love; so now it’s just a waiting game!
Short term results are lovely, let’s be honest!
We all wanna make the decision to change, and see instant evidence that what we’re doing is working. So the goal has to contain goals within goals.
The HABITS have to be the focus and the goal has to be the forest.
A healthy woman (in my opinion) exercises often, pushes herself to strain harder in her workouts (cycle permitting), eats foods that nourish her body, holds sleep as an immovable priority, talks to herself lovingly, has the total aim of her life in the peripheral always, takes life with a pinch of salt, nourishes loving and supporting relationships, holds herself fiercely accountable to her brilliance, sets goals and does what it takes to accomplish them.
And I’ve done all of the above this week.
So smaller body here I come, reduced body fat here I come; just not the day before my period is due 
I will hold this line for the next 2 weeks, giving me three weeks of data and evidence; and then I’ll pivot, tightening up and assessing action steps as needed.
Long game baby!!!
Accountability is king x
Day one of the GRIT Challenge
DAY ONE HERE WE COME! 
(11 Nov 2024)
I know, I KNOW! Women are more than the sum of the scales or the size of their bodies. You’re preaching to the converted!
However, I want to live in a smaller body, because it pleases me better to do so.
I don’t find there to be much that’s appealing about my overhang, my loose arms or my saggy butt right now.
It doesn’t stop me living my life, I’m still a bikini donning, waterfall jumping, river swimming in public kinda gal; BUT! There is ZERO wrong with wanting to shape up through the use of fierce self love, great healthy eating to specified calories, or moving your body with determination and grit.
So!
This is where I’m starting from.
This is the size of my now body.
It weighs in at 64.2kgs this morning.
And my goal is to be 5kgs down over the course of this countdown.
I’m doing it through eating to 1500 cals which is above my BMR.
I’ll be drinking my water each day.
I’ll be moving my body each day, and upping the ante as I do!
Each week I’ll be checking in (on a Friday) so that I can make corrections as I need to in a quick time frame.
Whip it up! How it began...
Operation ‘whip this junk filled trunk’ is commencing!
I’ve been in cruise mode for a while with my weight and it’s time to up my game.
Now, my weight has no real bearing on my life. I wear bathers, I feel nice when I dress up, I live my life without my pants size playing into it at all.
Because I’ve done ALOT of self work on myself since the last time I embarked on a weight loss journey BUT!
BUTT!! I have a big Butt right now and I’m not okay with it.
I am taking a stand and making changes that will see me live in a body that I love asthetically because women like to look nice, and I think we all have a body shape that feels like it looks nice to us right!?
What I’m living in right now is not it.
So! I’m going to take the next 6 weeks (which takes us to just before Christmas) and I’m going to apply grit, consistency, and determination to my food and exercises choices.
Now, Zing is not a blinkers on weight loss focus, which I LOVE, but also; this Mama needs to lose some! I’m excited to do it in an empowered Zing Wellbeing woman kinda way!
