Finally, I found a gym!

Lately I have been thinking that it is about time I went somewhere to burn more fat and enhance the muscles that lie beneath the layers of fat that currently adorn my body, so I decided I'd go back and join a gym again.

Last year I belonged to an amazing gym but it's too far away so I needed to find an alternative and I found a great gym in the city called Ocean Spa. It's really quite nice, the gym part is a bit small, but you have the use of sauna's, lap pool, huge spa pool and another pool heated to 38 degrees where you can just relax and let the worries fade away! Will I be swimming, HELL NO! well, not yet anyway, I'm not quite prepared to reveal my chocolate ripple body to unsuspecting clients wanting to relax and not be freaked out at the sight of my half nakedness!

The personal trainer was really helpful, I told her what I wanted, and she suggested a lot of arm, leg and core work but with decent weights, not the prissy light ones so I was happy about that! Don't get me wrong, I just want to be toned and not have batwings, I'm not looking to being Mrs Hercules or anything like that eeeew!

She was very impressed at what I had done to get 21kg (46.2lb) off my body and she congratulated me and boy did I feel fabulous after that. I've done this thing mostly all by myself, concocted my own food and exercise regime and for once in my life, it's worked!!! I am very proud of myself, I deserve a giant pat on the back from me ;)

So I'm looking forward to getting started, not so much the weighing, measuring and blood pressure taking they do before you start, that I won't like but it's a necessary evil to be able to feel the burn!
