Fitness Test... Well, that was an eye opener!

Okay, so I finally did my fitness test and the results came in at... *drum roll please*.... BEGINNER! :(

I was pretty bummed with that result but I am trying to take solace in the fact it can only get better from here. I *almost* made intermediate for the time trail (8.31sec). It was a bit of a wake up call about my abominable strength - I couldn't even do one sit up properly but I was in the advanced category for the flexibility/stretch one... weird?

The hardest part is right now I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and a little shocked at how bad my fitness level is. I knew I was unfit, but it goes to show how much I have been kidding myself lately. A part of me really wants to sneak a packet of chips and eat my emotions but I'm trying to ignore that. 

Thank you to those brave brave souls who have put up their transformation videos in You Tube - I watched a couple just now and ended up in tears over the amazing changes.  It's really helped me to keep my focus in the right place, and resist the temptation to binge or eat my emotions. Kudos!
