I really hate winter because it makes me feel very lazy! Who wants to go to the gym, for a run etc when it is cold outside??? Not me anyway. I would much rather stay home in front of the fireplace eating bangers and mash! Don't you?
Anyway, I am spouting rubbish like this because yesterday I stood on the scales and I am about 2kg away from my horrible weight I was two and a half years ago before I lost 12kgs!!! So depressing!
It is not like I haven't been doing any exercise lately either...last week I did the following:
Monday - indoor netball
Tuesday - 30 minute run (actually it was more like a jog)
Wednesday - 6 minutes of skipping (hard work!)
Thursday - hour walk with Malc
Friday - Zumba class at Pioneer Gym
Saturday - 30 minute jog
and nothing since...
My biggest problem is chocolate, comfort food and CHOCOLATE!!! I eat it all the time! Seriously, pop in to buy some milk at the dairy and I come out with a packet of M&Ms too...or I pop in to buy petrol and I come out with a snickers bar also...or I come home from work and think I have had a long day and deserve a choc bar, so I cross the road to the dairy (yes it is just across the road!!!) and treat myself to a moro bar...and guess what!...sometimes this is all in the same day!! I have a serious problem! People say to me "use your will power"...what will power??? I lost that years ago.
Maybe hypnotism???
Having said all this...I must do SOMETHING. I was so happy when I lost all that weight...it is a super feeling going into a clothes shop and knowing that something was going to fit you!!!!!
A progress post later...
Now for ZUMBA!!! Yes, as mentioned above I went to a zumba class. My friend, Hayley, dragged me along to her gym for a go. Zumba is like an aerobics class to latin music, where it is compulsory to 'shake ya booty'. It was fun, but I felt really self-conscious throughout...I'm sure I looked very unco-ordinated. I said to Hayley that I would try it for another 2 sessions, so see if I would relax a bit and get into the dancing a bit more. I really think the gym should turn out the lights tho and have some disco lights instead...I think this would make EVERYONE relax...because looking around the gym room and the other stiff bodies trying to shake their booty - they would agree too!
For those of you who haven't heard of zumba...I found this youtube clip:

Well, I can only say this - if you make it through an entire zumba class and don't stroke out, I think you deserve chocolate.
we need to get together for some serious exercise Corinna. Once you are addicted to chocolate there is no going back! Trust me I know. Send me a message. Cheers
