NEW YEAR:NEW YOU

2011

1st Jan 2011 7lbs 1850 calories, cigarettes 0 – new fab non smoking me

(well it was Christmas, there were enough saints around) Vow to be ultimate love goddess and uber non stressed me.

Am all set for gym induction with the girls made even better by fact it’s free and will help kick start my christmas calorie burning. Long day in office made even worse by fact desk intray resembles the leaning tower of Pisa made for overload on choc muffin at lunch..though potential to find hottie at leisure centre is an option.

Hmm...embracing new year and new fabulous me!

2nd Jan 2011 9stone 5lbs 1900 calories, cigarettes 3 – not the best start!

OMG think have died and gone to heaven! Went for induction with Chloe & Bridget and am in super fit health, super fit, healthy but could get in shape a teeny bit more. Explained to (rather hot instructor) that am far too busy for gym and don’t have time for classes as am far too important. After nosing through timetable on way out with our lovely free pass for discount meals with the girls saw rather nice classes list – dance, tai chi, boxercise...plus there’s even early morning swimming. Am giving it a try and embracing New Year, new me!

1st April 2011 8stone 1lb 2000 calories, cigarettes – 0!

Complete sex god and all round goddess! Flew through work with report achieving full manager approval after excellent nights sleep thanks to yoga masterclass! Skin looking gorgeous and no niggly cough thanks to evening stop smoking class after yoga. Not only that, am fi nancial genius having now got all inclusive membership and have treated niece and nephew to discounted visits to Dunes Splash World (extra browny points) and more energy. Am clearly exercising wizz and deserve fabulous new outfi t for meeting up with the girls Friday night.

22nd March 2011 8stone 7lbs 2300 calories, cigarettes – 2.

Finding my new fabulous routine far easier than I thought, though it does help having now discovered a wellness suite at one of the centres to get a bit of a pampering…well a girl needs to relax after a workout. Am fi tting in evening yoga class after work, if it’s good enough for Madge, and the lunchtime spinning classes are a great way to actually stop working through lunch and spend some time on me. Discount vouchers for the Crosby Lakeside Bistro have gone down well with the girls too as our new weekly treat.

So now let’s spend some time on you…
