So I am now onto level two of the 30 day shred. I managed to complete level one ten times in total over a two-week period. Two days were missed due to work commitments and two due to sheer laziness other things. My legs were in absolute agony for the first three days and even walking up and down the stairs was like torture. Then, around about day five it stopped hurting. By day seven I was even beginning to enjoy it hate it slightly less. By day ten I was completing level one and rather than feeling sick and dizzy I actually still had some beans left and was feeling great. I figured ...
Davina for Next: The conclusion
Honestly folks, I feel quite sad writing this, my final review post of the Davina for Next gear. I was a little unsure about writing sponsored/paid/compensated posts on the blog but I was quite genuinely selfishly smitten with the idea of being given this stuff to review and was just THRILLED to get picked. However, I was determined to do it honestly. And I have. So here it comes. After four weeks of pretty thorough testing, my final thoughts... The Davina for Next Vest: I love it. It takes a little wriggling to get into but, once in, there will be no wardrobe malfunctions ...
Davina for Next: Mum of One hits the road
Ok, so it would seem that the fates are conspiring for me to get fit this year. First, the wonderful folks at Next gave me the lovely Davina for Next gear to try out. Then, the two people I know who actually HATE RUNNING MORE THAN ME, namely my lovely mum and the wonderful Cat from Yellow Days, BOTH suggested running the Race for Life with me. This is on my Day Zero Project list to do again so am keen to get it ticked off involved. Then, yesterday, my lovely friend Pam who used to drag me out running in order to get me in shape for my wedding, but sadly moved away shortly after, is ...
Belly-busting time again, with a helping hand from Davina for Next.
I have very exciting news ladies, oh yes. Exercise is about to get easier, and prettier than ever before in 2012 as the lovely Davina herself has teamed up with Next to help us on our way with her new 'Davina for Next' range. She has designed a range of fitness clothing and shoes that provide both practical, pretty and pound-busting solutions that will knock almost all of our "I can't do anything today because..." excuses right out of the park. Once again my New Years Resolution, like many Mums, is to get fitter, slimmer and more toned. I aim to be realistic here though. I KNOW that I ...
Belly Busting Countdown: 57 days left
Ok, so Thursday again. In my house this has now become known as weigh-in day, cue scary music. In the interests of honesty, and avoidance of self-denial, I have been asking the lovely Mr B to check the scales for me before he potters off to work. But this morning I just could not be bothered to get out of bed, let alone stand naked in the FREEZING cold bathroom. So warmly snuggled up in bed I stayed. Feeling guilty. Not sleeping. Thinking it is unlikely possible that I may have lost a pound or two. More guilt, until just now I figured I may as well get up and just go do ...
Belly Busting Countdown…Timer reset: 64 days to go
Ok folks. Have not updated you on my dieting progress for a while. Mainly because since the holiday my willpower has all but vanished and have been terrified to get on the scales. So, my progress. Well, here we go. I now look like... *DRUMROLL* This! Oh, if only. This morning I summoned up the courage and stepped on the scales. The result, NO CHANGE! HURRAH! Left for my hols with 7lbs to go until reaching my target weight and still have 7lbs to go. I think a minor bout of food poisoning in the interim may have helped as Lord knows I have been rubbish at controlling ...
