Feel The Burn

Boyfriend and I have signed up for 12 months at Ponds Forge's Fitness Unlimited. We signed up for 12 months to make sure a 3 month contract wouldn't just stay a "3 month contract". This is something we decided to sign up for in October, after summer and after our holiday, and we did! The fact that I'd just been forced to weigh myself at the doctors' 30 minutes before signing on the dotted line had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Nothing at all. But I will say this - I was close to throwing myself on the floor clutching the nurse's legs, refusing to let go until she'd get me a prescription for a gastric bypass/mega strong diet pills. And as if she knew what was about to happen she quickly said -"you've lost 2 kg since last time". Yeay! That makes me soooo happy! I replied - not.

So, I went to SheRunsHeRuns and got on the treadmill and had my running style analysed and got a suitable pair of trainers. They're not only comfy but also pretty which will help. But something that really cheered me up was that on that I felt good on that treadmill, I could sense a tiny bit of the joy I used to feel when I was younger and went for regular runs. It's hidden deep inside me below a thick layer of fat but if I can stick to it and not give up when I ache all over and when I'd rather stay at home snuggled up under a blanket with a good book or a film, then I know I'll be proud of myself and not feel like I do now.

+ Boyfriend promised to come with me to yoga and spinning classes...
