To put on a beautiful wedding dress, to receive professional pre-marital health.
“You’re allowed lamb chops?” It’s week one of my bridal fitness programme, and my fiancé already thinks I’m cheating on him. Where diets are concerned, I have serious commitment issues. I’ll swear on a Sunday night that I’ll change my ways, and cave in by Tuesday. But during the first phase of my “bride to be” health plan, devised by personal trainer Tom Marien to help me lose a stone and feel fit, lamb chops are allowed. Well, according tonight’s meal plan, anyway.
Tom has put me on a 12-day nutrition and exercise plan that he calls “Reset” – an intensive burst of all-round healthy behaviour designed “to get you back to your original shop settings”.
To motivate myself to go for a run when I least feel like it, Tom suggests I try visualisation. He says I might be encouraged outdoors if I can visualise putting on my trainers and jogging from my front door. Before I can do that, though, I have to use a similar technique to find my trainers in the cupboard under the stairs.
