Well, I am exhausted.
I have traded my traditional Lazy-Sunday for, argh, the gym.
I like to run, especially outdoors, this coming from the girl who had any excuse for not doing PE at school. However, I like to eat food more…
I have never liked anything about exercise. I just had to spell check the word….
Sweating, yuk. Heaving, yuk.
Gym? You mean Jim??
I have never joined one properly. I have paid for one before, been a few times, then just stopped. One hangover too many maybe?
The point is this…. I am doing this.
Last year I lost 10kgs! I was chuffed to bits, but this year- since getting engaged- I have put on 4kgs!!! Disaster.
This is not how its supposed to be!!! Ahhhhhh
Its not just because I am getting married & put on weight or that I want to look utterly stunning for the day, but I seem to have developed a need to raise money for charity, by means of using my body to achieve something.
Weird. I know.
I know loads of people do this, but I have never really appreciated it much before. Though I have sponsored them!
It started with my Prince’s Trust stint- The Tower 42 challenge on 30th September, which I am training for. Now, I seem to be entering runs.
I know!!!
My PE teachers would have a turn.
I also want to help raise money for more local charities.
Maybe I am growing up or maybe I am just ready to do something good with my time??!!! Or maybe I have found a way to stay motivated.
I hear people bang on about it all the time- too much in fact, but I seem to have found it for myself.
So, the thing is, I have realised that I can get Bridal Bodied. I can. I just need to find a better reason than pure vanity!
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good, but I also want to feel good.
Anyway, its like a revelation to me!
I recently got shin splints after running a new track in my new home-town. Ouch. But all this fancy gym equipment gives me a chance to do other cardio instead.
This is all well & good, but I like to have some well-being tossed in. Yoga (love it), Pilates (new to it) & Body Conditioning (terrified of it).
A slight warning to those who are NOT so experienced with their leisure centre gym… the receptionists are worse than useless, there are hidden costs & only go if they have Power Plates!
Right, well I am off to eat : )
Finally.
Got any top tips for us Bridal-Bodied to Be’s? Let us know! We need ALL the help we can get!!
