{Archive: July 16, 2009} Drum Rolllssss... so what did i drop!!!

Hiiiii everyone...

Since Thursday.. I have dropped an incredible FOURRRRR POUNDSSSS (only way i could make the number appear larger than it is). OK so 4lbs my first reaction...meh.. just 4lbs...i need to up my game!!! I dunno.. consistency i guess is the key.

Another amazing workout today. Walked to the gym.. 2.5 miles in 43mins (yes I'm precise).. cycle for 45 mins (it was like interval training.. level 10 ride at 75rpm+ for 2.5mins and then 100rpm+ for 30seconds) and finally 30 mins on the elliptical. Lets not forget the weights session also.

In terms of food: Breakfast - protein shake, Lunch (i over indulged) 2 tacos with grilled chicken and lettuce, Snack - munched on baby carrots (sooo yum), Dinner - had some funky weight loss shake..that really filled me up....

Today, whilst at the watering hole (water fountain at z gym) a member of the club said they spotted me walking on the streets of Irvine.. i told them my story and they were impressed.. i felt it was a good reminder. Whilst i was walking home today my ankle was in some serious pain.. i was limping sooo much i had to stop and take a bus.. I'm ashamed that i had to resort to using public transport.. i mean i should have a limo service... apart from that nothing else to report..sorry for the lack of entertainment today.. I'm just massaging my ankle..

{Archive: July 13, 2009}: OMG its another post.. woohoo!!!

Its your lucky day people.. o BTW.. thank you for all your support.. you know who you are.. no names will be mentioned (no not cos there isn't anyone.. or that I'm being sarcastic) As your all aware.. or not.. the sports club is about 2.5 miles walk from my apartment.. so i walk to the club and back (and workout when i get there.. cos whats the point then.. duhhhh). So on Thursday i had a training session with the "legend" Sal.. So he tells me weights are as important as cardio.. as it helps build up our metabolism and your body burns more calories when its repairing itself.. etc etc... so he walks me through my routine.. and we get to the most dreaded machine in the gym... THE SQUAT MACHINE... omg is all I'm gonna say.. my butt was hurting for 3 days after.. at that point when working out on the machine.. i wanted to tell Sal.. i hated him for introducing me to my nemesis.. but i will conquer thee and my butt cheeks will be as sexy as Jessica Alba (

{Archive 21 June 2009} My first.. blog/post.. not sure what you call it

I have created this blog for two reasons, firstly so everyone I know can follow my progress. Secondly so that I may hopefully inspire someone else to take a leap in a similar journey. I intend to bring together all the knowledge I have acquired into one place.. ranging from Nutrition, whats a good workout regime, how to overcome physical/mental hurdles. Well its Sunday.. I've left sunny England in exchange for Orange County, California. I arrived last week and I have begun my journey.. so far I have walked 12 miles to Newport Beach and back home..i loved it.. but my feet didn't. I've rested my feet this weekend, tomorrow I plan to check out one of Orange Counties sexiest gyms ( no not the eye candy).

{Archive: July 14, 2009) Im a barbie girl.. life in plastic...

you all remember that song by Aqua - Barbie Girl.. (here's the YouTube link if your not sure http://youtu.be/ZyhrYis509A ) well i was at the gym yesterday. There i was cycling and i notice this old lady walk up the stairs.. and shes STARING at me.. and I'm thinking why is she staring at me.. but as she walked away i realised that her stare was in fact static... and it was a moment of revelation.. light bulb moment.. the chick had obviously had a face thingy bob done.. and this was her normal look.. i suddenly noticed all the mature women looked the same like a factory production of OAPs (over aged pensioners) ..maybe they have the same surgeon (but who i am to talk..when my belly looks like im having triplets). I chuckled to myself and thought welcome to Newport Beach... where life in plastic is clearly the norm..
