A new GOAL
As the clock ticks round towards midnight, as fireworks bang and Champagne corks pop, the majority of us will have some sort of resolution or goal in mind for the new year, be it shedding some weight, quitting smoking, or finding a new partner. Lisa Curry is no exception. And while there are few women in Australia who have reached the levels of physical prowess that the three-time Olympic swimming champion has, over the last 12 months stress has led the former professional athlete to pile on 10 kilos. But she’s determined to welcome in 2020 armed with a plan to battle the bulge.

“I’ve been training my entire life, except for the last 12 months,” the 57-year-old tells Good Health & Wellbeing. “So, as I sit here talking to you now, I am the most unfit I have ever been.

“I’ve had a year – probably a year-and-a-half, actually – of travelling, eating out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No routine, and barely any training… I’ve even had to buy new jeans, because my old ones no longer fit. I hate it. Sometimes I look at myself and think, ‘Oh, Lisa. Just get some gaffer tape and tape your mouth up!’”

Thankfully, Lisa is a woman of action. Taking the ‘new year, new you’ approach, the swimming legend has a solid strategy for reinvention.

A new passion “I know what a human body needs to be in good shape,” she says. “I know what needs to be done. I feel like I have to completely recreate myself. I know that nothing is permanent, I know that I’m not stuck, I know that I have choices, and I know that I can learn something and create new habits. All I have to do is decide, and do it.”
