{Archive June 22 2009} My trip to The Sports Club LA

Hey Y'all (do i sound like an American)

I went today to the hottest sports club in Orange County.. first impressions as I walked up to the club.." WOW.. this place is huuuge and look at all those shiny expensive cars parked outside"... as i walked through the entrance.. i felt i was walking into a hotel lobby.. everyone was soo friendly.. so far so good.

I had an appointment with Kathleen (should have taken a pic and posted it here.. will ask her tomorrow).. she was AMAZING.. she took her time showing me around the whole place.. no hard selling.. just letting the facilities do the selling.. introduced me to Sal (the dude lost 140lbs...isn't that freaking AWESOME).. as well as the GM, Tom, he was very friendly and seemed like a cool dude..I am really happy about today..glad to have found this gem (get it.. gym...changed to gem.. funny right..oh come on laugh)

I would like to say a BIGGG thank you to Kathleen for all the advice she gave me..probably the first friend I've made in California...

So today i completed just over a 5 mile walk..and did about 35 mins on the elliptical (X-trainer as we call it in the UK)...

OOOO i forgot to mention.. before i left for the USA.. i weighed myself and i was 385lbs.. i weighed myself on electric scales in the gym and i was 370lbs!!! wooooohoooooo big pat on my back!!

I will try to put up a graph cataloguing my weight loss.. also after i meet the nutritionist i will put up my diet plan that I'm following.. any who thanks for reading have a great day!!!

{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..
