So this morning I rose bright and early (honesty strikes again . . . 'early' meaning 8am) ready to start my new healthy and happy lifestyle . . . I wandered out of my room in my usual groggy and crazy afro-haired state and made my way downstairs to the kitchen.
Now be proud of me for this . . . instead of brewing my usual cup of coffee (milk & 2 1/2 sugars of course) I whooped out the Twinings Infusions 'Camomile, Honey & Vanilla' tea and sat down on the couch to watch Sunrise with a proud little grin on my face.
Well let me tell you now, that grin soon dissipated once I took a sip of my deceivingly delicious smelling tea!
This cuppa was somewhat like a sneaky, sexy little siren perched up on her rock out in the deep blue sea, singing sweetly out to the unsuspecting sailors who inch closer to their terrifying deaths . . . . . it tasted NOTHING like it smelt, I screwed up my face as I endeavored to finish the cup, why I don't know, I'm guessing its equal parts pride and the longing to be skinny & healthy.
And no, I won't learn from this experience, tomorrow morning I will be sitting back there on the couch with my cup of piping hot siren juice and I WILL drink it until somehow, someday I actually enjoy it!
I decided that becoming a Vegan will be the best option for me to cleanse and detox my body, so its out with the meat, the milk, the cheese, the eggs, the butter, the MAYO (anyone who knows me will be picking their jaws off the ground when they
read this - these happen to be my ALL TIME favourite nom noms) . . . . its a whole fresh new start for my poor chubby little body and although its a little daunting when you read through the lists of things you are no longer allowed to stick in your gob, it is still rather exciting - believe it or not I am actually EXCITED to become a Vegan!Now we all know that changing your diet isn't an easy-fix option to loosing weight, which is why this morning my sister, the lovely Miss Hayley May and I started our '31 day exercise plan for beginners' and Day 1 consisted of:
* warmup: 3-5 minutes of jogging or star jumps
and then the following:
* 25 squats
* as many Hopscotch as possible in a 30 second window
* 25 pushups
repeated 4 times
Well I think I covered my fitness level in my first post - my fitness is simply non-existent - if you were to give me a rating from 1 - 10 I would most probably fall into the category of about a minus 2, the same daily body movement of either a sloth or a large water dwelling hippo
In saying that you can just imagine my performance 1 & 1/2 minutes into the 'warmup' phase of our workout today . . . . I thought I was going to die! I was completely out of breath, sweating like a pedo at a wiggles concert and I swear for a second there I thought I was going to loose my sight.
If the tea scenario has taught me anything it would be that I am the most STUBBORN person you will ever meet, I was not about to get 2 minutes into my WARMUP and throw in the towel. With my new found respect for the contestants of The Biggest Looser I pushed through the whole workout and although it was soul destroying and extremely moist, I got it done and I must say, if you ignore your thighs refusing to carry you up the 7 stairs to your bedroom, it felt pretty damn good!!
Tomorrow I will be back busting the fat and sweating like a swine . . . . . and LOVING every moment
Sexy, Healthy Body - HERE I COME!!!
