Everyone is talking about Joe Wicks, the Lean in 15 guy and the kind of incredibly hot looking guy! I have been following Joe on Instagram for quite a while now and was going to sign up to his plan (90 day SSS) a while ago but found out I was pregnant soon after. (Saved by the bump!)

Not only are his recipes yummy…..

I have always been keen to give it a try and was toying again with the idea recently. Joe has released his own cookbook – I had a sneaky flick through it in Eason’s (free loader I know!) and realized that I could actually give it a try myself before forking out a couple of hundred on the tailored plan. And here I am! I have decided to document this on the blog for anyone who is interested in the plan and thinking of trying it out. This will be a very honest account of things, including when and how I fall off the wagon (and I will given that I am human!), what I eat, how I exercise and how I feel.

Why am I doing this?

Well, first here is a little about me. I have two kids, one toddler and one 4 month old. I have always been sporty but naturally this declined as I had my kids. I don’t have a huge amount of weight to lose to be very honest, so my goals are

• Fitness
• Strength
• Toning (I have many a wobbly bit)
• Energy

I do karate and would like a healthy diet to compliment my training here as it can be quite intense. I would also like to have the energy to run around after my little ones every day!

I will not be using the scales to track my progress – we have a love hate relationship and the scales tend to piss me off more than make me happy. So I am going to use the mirror and my clothes for any visible results.

Note: I absolute will not be posting pics of me in unflattering undies doing before and after!

I have tried low calorie, low fat diets before (pro points anyone?) and they most definitely did work but left my hungry and grumpy. I also found it very hard to train when on them and found I was losing shape. I was more inclined to eat ready meals and bars – basically my diet had a lot of sugar in it.

I may not post every single day as I have no intention of killing you all with boredom and I may also not have the time but I will give a summary of the days prior.

If anyone is trying this at the moment I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences and of course shout with any questions you might have.

Jesus – I feel under pressure now, I’ll have to make a go of this!!
