I have signed up at the Gym - Oh My Goodness!!!

Yes I've done it, I've signed up to the gym. To the average "Joe" this doesn't sound all that earth shattering. To this just turned 40 year old chic this is a little daunting. This body hasn't seen a gym since the year 2000! BC (Before children) and newly married, my hubby and I used to go to the gym after work; because married life had been a little too good to us and we were starting to look very well rounded. During that time I continued to eat large portions, slaving at the gym and no results of any weight loss or toning had occured after 6 months! So I quit the gym. Then I discovered eating in moderation was the way to go (I did a strict weight watchers diy) and with sporadic bursts of excercise got my weight under control. Walks and swimming with sometimes large chunks of no excercise - teamed with a busy travelling work position I lost 10kgs and maintained what you would call an average figure. But then kids came along including IVF treatments and the great weight gain and loss yoyo occured, with the births of my 3 children in under 5 years. Whilst I am at my pre-baby weight now, I have never been able to shed the 5kgs I put on doing fertility treatments prior to my first baby. So what has spurred on this soon to be gym junkie? A great deal at my husband's gym (he has also been on an amazing weight loss journey losing 25kgs in a year) and the fact that my body is falling apart! My new remedial massage therapist has brought me down to earth this week and reiterated what I sadly already knew - I have "no core" strength whatsoever, my muscles are weak, my scoliosis is worsening and my genetic hunch back genes are also increasingly getting worse!!! So if I want to improve all the sore spots in my back, I need to do some hardwork! Maybe, just maybe I'll lose a few kilos in the process! (If I can just stay away from buying cadbury easter eggs LOL)

So there will be Less of This.......

 

And More of This......
