I own boxing gloves, I must be cool... bugger!!!!

Now first things first; The Photos.  When my before shot was taken I intended for NO-ONE to see it, ever! I felt brave and asked hubby to take it to help motivate me and boy did it!  Sharing it now has taken quite a lot of guts.  I still look at it through my fingers covering my face.  As for the after pic, when I started Kickstart Fatloss the trainer made a joke about bikini after shots.  Being the complete dipstick that I am I didn't get it was a joke, so there it is, me in my 99p Primark bikini.  Bought because I was going to go in a hot tub for a holiday, not convinced I would have the guts to wear a bikini so I picked up the first cheap one that fit! Now there it is on the internet for all to see me showing off my belly button.


Hmmmmm, so I'm putting thought in to training but where to start? I guess improving my cooking skills with the help of KSFL and getting in plenty of exercise if I want to be a trainer.  I guess fitness is important!  Wouldn’t motivate many if I’m sat in an arm chair, eating chocolate, shouting "Squat! Squat! Squat!", and I must make sure I don't suffer the same stutter as my trainer does.  He gets extra 4 sit ups out of us that way!  I’m pretty sure he puts it on as he only seems to repeat the number 14 so instead of a row of 16 he gets 20 out of us, how rude!  Well off I go with my new boxing gloves feeling all professional to Mike's Boxing Boot Camp, after all I’m pretty fit these days.  Bugger!!  In walks Mike's boxing club (as the intro to Eye of the Tiger plays through my head) and I look like a dumpy house wife next to this lot.   I decide I should hide in the back with the newbies :)

Wow!  Great workout!  Loved using the bags.  One of them is a round response ball, brilliant though felt like fighting drunk hahaha (not that I ever did of course, I’m a mum so was always on my best behaviour so as to never be a giant hypocrite for my kids).  I must have missed it 45% of the time but it was great fun and that’s the point I think, fitness needs to be fun or what is the point?  As I "hit" the response ball I may have been hit back by it but no-one saw so clearly that never happened!  One hour of non-stop running, kettle bells, punches, basket balls that weigh a bloomin' ton and sit-ups.  Its classes like this that make me wonder if I am cut out for it!!

The more classes I do and the more people I get to know the better it is, feels a bit like I’ve swapped the pub for the gym. Oh god, that’s just sad isn't it!  I’m becoming one of them.  You know who I mean, the loons who prefer to go the gym than the pub, the ones who complain when the gym dare to close over Christmas!!  I’m all for fitness but please shoot me if complain about having Christmas week off!  I’ve gone from taking a month off over Christmas to two weeks!!  Does this mean I’m on my way? AAARGHHHHHHHH!  Quick, think about something else...FOOD!  Christmas left me with a giant snacking habit.  I seemed to do quite well over December but January is proving hard!  Yes, I’ve worked out enough to get the Christmas weight off but snacking does have a way of making me feel blah, so I need to get the snacking under control again.  Let’s start with cooking them lovely clean meals - great recipe ideas from my friends and KSFL coach Mike.  So here goes... now I really am getting cocky there.  My cooking is starting to taste good, I made my own carbonara.  It was so nice I just wanted to rub it all over my face (bit extreme?).  I’m shocked at how easy cooking is becoming, and how tasty healthy food can be!  Down side is that I’ve had garlic breath for two days but take a peek at a few Kickstart friendly dishes I made all by myself.  They're edible and nobody got sick or died from eating them, woop!  I know you’re as proud of me as I am.






I found myself home from a busy day last week feeling a bit tense and in the need of some relaxing and I start dicing veg and onions.  It's relaxing, that’s just wrong!  The tea was great but at what cost?  My hubby thinks it’s great.  He pats me on the bum and says "Now you’re a real woman, who enjoys cooking and takes pride in her kitchen".  Cheeky bas$#*% ~SLAP~
