Long time no blog.
Was part way through our Queensland holiday last blog, but its now September, and Fiona is 8, Tara is 18 and Emily turns 12 tomorrow. I'm now 34, and feeling every day of my 65 years on Earth.
To combat my low self esteem, depression, and inability to walk up stairs without feeling puffed, I have joined Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation, and stumbled my way through all the pre season tasks, and tomorrow, I get my first weeks schedule and shopping list.
Am I worried? Yes. Diet is a constant battle for me, with everything that goes in my mouth being put there for its comfort value, swapping that for health value is going to be hard.
Does the idea of training 6 nights a week seem daunting? Hell yeah. The most exercise I get is my Friday night dance class which while fun, is not really hard. The dance we have this year is partly to Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like a Woman, and again, fun, not very challenging or physically demanding. The second half of the dance though IS. Tina Turner's Proud Mary, and we really get the blood pumping, for about a minute and a half lol
Sure I get a bit sweaty and feel hot, but I don't feel like I've exercised the next morning.
So, this week, Alicia and I have started out in the gym, we joined Plus Fitness 24 hour in Campbelltown, and last night we tried out the "virtual classes" for the first time which was hilarious!
I've been off work this week too, and walked Fiona too and from school Monday and Tuesday, today though I drove her, but will walk again this afternoon.
So, am exercising, preparing for the onslaught Monday morning, and getting in as much caramel slice as possible before kick off.
Will be back to update as I go! :-)
cheers
Sal
