Discovering your power to go it alone

The newly formatted Discovery Magazine is out now. The Winter/Spring issue is a smaller format than before but it remains a good read. There’s a piece on the Power of Reinvention and they have included my story as an example of how you can change your life.

You can download a pdf of Discovery Magazine July 2013 here.

I shared five tips how to get it right:

1) Start Slowly: During my first year I only worked-out in the pool.

2) Get support: but don’t use the lack of it as an excuse. I made myself sick and I had to make myself better.

3) Know why you want to lose weight, find a plan and stick to it, giving yourself a year or two to achieve your goals.

4) Find an exercise you enjoy: I love being on the mountain in Pringle Bay and walking on the beach.

5) Communicate: I shared news about my plan to change my eating far and wide – let people know what you eat and why.
