Summer is in full swing in sunny South Africa and that only means one thing. I realised that I am horribly unfit! I need to get my bum back into gym and get toned and fit. Beauty and fashion goes hand in hand with health and fitness for me and I have been very naughty by sitting on the couch all winter or having loads of dinners and drinks with friends instead of making some time to keep my fitness in check. Getting back on the treadmill and the bicycles also means that my head gets sorted and my stress levels are kept down. Winning for sure!
I sucked it up last weekend and re-activated my account with Virgin Active and got started straight away. My first session did not go well. I actually got nauseated and had to leave the gym. I knew I was unfit, but this is just ridiculous. This is what I looked like after my first session:
Not impressed
I have been for a few more sessions this week, including this morning, and I am much better, I no longer get nauseated and hopefully I'll be fit soon.
This is what I looked like after my session today:
Getting there
Summer also brings with it loads of parties and events and I have three weeks to get toned and look fab for the SA Style Awards.
This is my mantra at the moment. "I will have Beyonce arms and Naomi Campbell legs". And then I see a piece of cheesecake or chocolate and I convince myself to just work out for a little longer. It may take me a few extra hours in the gym to reach my goal, but I will get there. And besides, I reward myself with a little jacuzzi time afterwards.
Here's to a healthy and fit summer to all!
xoxo
