I did it!!!

Ok so those who know me, will know I am not athletic, or sporty, or exercise bound.  However at Christmas time I decided that 2008 would be the year I stop sitting on my butt complaining how big it is and actually get up and do something.  Now obviously I am still me, so going to the gym or doing anything that other people would witness was not an option. 

I had bought a Playstation game a while ago called Kinetics, which is like having a personal trainer on a disk.  It’s basically a enhanced workout video.  Using the Eyetoy you can watch yourself on screen, next to the trainer, and make sure you’re in the right position for exercises where you could hurt yourself if you do it wrong.  The games vary and give you a score so that as you do well you can progress to a harder level.  Its all very clever and I finally got into it. 

I have just finished the 12 week program.  I got a grade A for the final week so that was cool.  Out of the whole 12 weeks I only missed one session which is outstanding for me!! 

I have set it up to do the extended program so now I, in effect, do weeks 9-12 over and over.  The challenge to try and bet my personal best each time keeps me motivated so we’ll see how long I can keep it up for.  At least I won’t have so much wobbling when I go to the South of France in June and have to wear a swimsuit in public!!

So there, I’m very proud of myself.  But not so much that I’ll give up now!!  I have lost almost half a stone but it won’t hurt me to loose some more!  Bryan has been a gem and been cooking us some really healthy dinners, he even has me eating prawns!  He’s also very good at ensuring that only a few “naughty” things get in the shopping trolley.  This week I have a box of dark Magnums - yum!  And no, of course I haven’t given up chocolate, you don’t want me to go mad do you?!
