I eventually reached a point where I was sick of being unhappy and not doing anything about it, I miss wearing all the clothes I used to. When I go to the gym I feel really good about myself and I consider it being one step closer to those jeans (that I have hanging up at home as a visible daily reminder). I know I deserve better than to feel shit about myself or to have a low self esteem... its not my style. So I just remind myself that I can do this, it is achievable and I tuffen up and look forward to putting in at the gym. Nothing comes easy in life and we must work hard to reap the reward!!

I think the real trick is finding something you love. At least for me it is. If it's just drudgery ... I won't do it.
I've also heard that a diet consisting of Coca Cola lite and cigarettes is an option ... lol (just kidding)
Not that I'm tiny or very fit like you model types, ahem, pang of jealousy here..., but I enjoy latin dancing and found a set of DVDs I love. It's a very good work out, and I smile almost the whole way through. I think that's the key!

I bought this vintage white little number that I am absolutely in love with...and its like five sizes too small. I am hoping to fit into it by at least next summer. (and I think with my lazy ass that's stretching it as it is) We'll see.

Although, one of my friends spent three months drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes as her diet and it seemed to work for her pretty well...although she's a bit crazy now lol

So I'm starting back at the gym this week after doing no exercise for... um... well I try not to think about how long ;) All those dedicated gym-bunnies out there (here's looking at you Wayne, and others) - how do you stay motivated? How do you force yourself to go get fit even when you're tired and can't be bothered? Any tips?

Karl Lagerfeld, Dior Homme Jeans, Size 28 waist, 65 kilograms and lots of ugly photos of me when i used to be 20 kilos heavier. lol

if you want tan, I'll send you some. haha jks

Yeah, I know what you mean; any guys that did my dance classes were too short... I had a girl partner who was shorter than me doing the "guy" part...

But hey, we got into the semis for our cha-cha and samba so it must've worked on some level!

if you're not mentally ready to stop making excuses.. well you can't really stop thinking & your not ready to just do it..

i read in the GW SMH that the 'buzz' you get from doing a workout has now been scientifically proven.. has taken 4 decades to do so.. we love endorphins!!

basically.. i dont want to be 30 & look as though i'm 45.. its amazing how we value being social butterflies.. never missing out on dinners and drinks with friends/colleagues.. we drive everywhere.. thank god shopping requires us to walk!! but then of course there's shopping online.. i think staying motivated is simple once you set your priorities straight..

actually i need to detox again.. awwww morning coffeeeeeee =((( anyone big on detox? how do you do it??
