My friends call me Nic, if you're nice to me, you can too. I'm a 28 year old Kiwi living in London. I'm trying to lose weight and get healthy, I'm also trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. This is my story.
Last night I didn’t sign up in time to do the class I wanted, so instead it was a hot* and sweaty 40 mins on the treadmill. Tonight is my day off and I’m going to pamper myself!!
*The gym is currently going through a refurb and there’s no air con… it is one big sweaty mass of people in there
Today we got some fancy chocolate in our office - it was covered in gold kind of fancy. So I tried a tiny bit and… it wasn’t that great so I didn’t eat any more. This is a huge win for me!
Today’s class at the gym - Tone - wasn’t as much fun and the people weren’t as nice BUT it was still a good workout (ie bloody hard!) so no complaining and I will be going back next week.
In other news… where is summer??? Or even spring! I’m sick of being cold and wet all of the time!
It’s a sad day when it hurts to lift your arms to wash your hair… and by sad I mean awesome!!
I did Body Pump today and it was hard but great fun. Tomorrow I have a Tone session - got to make the most of this £62 p/month membership fee!!
I went to my first class at the gum today - Body Attack - and it was awesome and hard and my arms are already aching! At first when I arrived at the gym I was so intimidated, all the girls I could see were tiny and pretty but fortunately there were a couple of other chubby girls in my class and everyone seemed friendly. Can’t wait for Body Pump tomorrow!
This weeks goals:
* I just wanted to write a quick note that all of the Body Attack, Body Pump, Body Balance etc classes all come from Les Mills which is a gym started by Les Mills all the way back in West Auckland, NZ (where I’m from) and since West Auckland is small my father and grandfather even know Les. Just another way that NZ is taking over the world… gym classes and kiwi fruit *insert evil laugh*
Goal review..
Successful week I think!
Guess who just signed up to the gym?
Yip, this person right here!! Tomorrow is my induction and then my first class in years.
Although this means that I will have to budget a bit more, it should also mean that I will be getting fit and fabulous. The gym is right by the train station and 5 mins from home, which means I can go straight after work - no excuses!!
Yesterday was a partial win - I walked between work and Waterloo station both ways for a total of 4.8 km and I didn’t eat the chocolate biscuits that were at work.
BUT I have so much further to go. I need to do more exercise (a whole shitload more) and I need to eat healthier and have better sized portions. I have so many things that should be motivating me - summer, beach holiday in Portugal, a huge trip through India and moving back to NZ - but somehow it’s always ‘I’ll start tomorrow’. I’m seriously doing my head in.
I think I need to get back to tracking what I eat in MFP and and restarting the 30DS PLUS the walking. Man I wish there was a quick fix!!
This weeks goals (just 2 days late oops..)
I forgot to review last weeks goals, so here goes…
The week started off well and then I went out Wed, Thurs and Fri nights and everything went downhill. Fortunately for my health and wallet going out all of the time isn’t normal so I should get back on track!
