New Leaf...

OK.... so spring has sprung and it represents a new leaf for me.

A few weeks ago, I signed up for this:


... and today is Day One!!

A full three months of winter have been terrible to us.  We have been hit with one flu bug after another, coughed, sniffed and groaned our way through the season, unable (or unwilling) to get out and get active..... and it shows!!!  I've hated every minute of it.  Enough.  That 'winter coat' just has to go!!  :)

My first (of many) early morning workouts are done and I feel FANTASTIC!  I coughed a lot, almost vomited, muscles burned and whinged.... but when all is said and done, I was quite surprised by how much residual fitness is still there.  They say muscle has memory.  All I can say, is that I hope mine isn't suffering from long term memory loss!  lol

I'm determined to give it everything and not get distracted.  I'm motivated.  I'm excited.

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

You bet you will have a revolt Kim, you CANT deny us your Pav!
and Jules My DD is doing the same programme and said she will see you at the party at the end! I have to question her timing though as she leaves to go to Bali on Saturday. Bali makes me think of cocktails by the pool and massive buffets!
Cheers

Well done Jules.
I actually met with a girlfriend today and after saying it for months, I am going to join her at the gym (and it is one of those gyms for Mum's like us who just want to get healthier and fitter). So Monday I am off.
And just stopping in to say thanks for your congrats. Means a lot and I have no idea if you entered but if you did, I hope I see your name in lights. I have you pegged....lol.
