I love boxercise that was the best thing I did with my PT ever :)

How's it been going, SoHo Babi?

I just joined a gym because a new one opened up 10min from my house and it's about blardy time I did some exercise. I'm absolutely adoring it though! I wish I wasn't so busy though so I could go every day!

im on a huge fitness kick cos i have my first 4 photoshoots rapidly approaching! eek panic. ive just been running and doing small bouts of resistance training, along with eating healthy. hoping that it will do the trick, but im going to buy that shangri-la diet book tomorrowsounds WAYY to good to be true, and im so up for trying anything lol

Oh, well done about the photoshoots Laurasaur! What kind of work is it?

thanks :) its really exciting for me! 2 of the photoshoots are just test shoots, like the photographers need someone to stand in and test lighting etc - hopefully i will get some good portfolio shots out of those ones and the other 2 are ads , nothing very exciting, but im taking everything i can get hehe

It is touch & go Amethyst, so easy to be mislead when on luncheons & dinners! But I hv taken some advise & it is toning that I am ultimately after...and I am definitely seeing results & I hv chosen to do it the healthy way (for mind & body).
I am over gyms tho...I was going in my lunch hour a while bak & pretty much I like to treadmill it & there are time limits etc & well...there is nothing I can't do outdoors that I can do at a gym. They hv put this awesome cross trainer (i think it is meant to be childrens play ground) down at the foreshore which is great. And I am going to purchase a push bike soon.
I just love my food & wine too much to be unhealthy about it..so no Adderall...he he.

Try doing some light weights at a gym, or do some self-resistance stuff at home with the cardio you're doing. Lots of reps and low weights to tone what you've got and not turn into super muscle girl.
I lost 25kilo on a cross trainer and weights program.
Tricep dips are good as are push ups on a fit ball (bloody 'ell those are gold).
I use mine to do some pilates stuff, like pelvic bridges and sit ups etc. It's good for toning, flexibility, strength and is still a nice girlie one to do without feeling like you're bulking up.
As for the eating healthy thing- go as little processing as possible- think brown and green... yum =S hehe. Try wholegrains, stacks of protein, carbs protein good fats (oils) and salad/vegies.
6 small meals a day 3 hours apartish.
Get active,
Stop weighing yourself.
And....
Ask yourself fo you really do have to lose weight in the first place?
good lord I know too much about dieting =P.

i'm a member at fitness first - and they are taking over sh!tloads of gyms in melbourne making it difficult to find an excuse not to go - with the passport membership you can go to any of them so when i find myself in the city area, theres like 4 in the CBD ...

i also do fitness first bootcamp 3 mornings a week. gets you into a nice early bird routine and you feel awesome for the rest of the day...plenty of likeminded fit people there too ;)


Ok i'll just stop sounding like a fitness first sales rep right about now.

Make a playlist on your ipod with 10, 15, 20 of what you beleive are the most increddible songs ever recorded! (I mean tunes that re-ignite passions, memories and feelings so vivid - you'd prefer to listen than have sex! well maybe ...

This makes your 30, 45 or 60 minute workouts an escape that you eagerly anticipate every day - 7 days per week.

I have created so many playlists - some days I can't decide and end-up doing several (40 minute spinning/cycling and 40 yoga/pilates)

(playlists are alsa a terrific way to time "flip time" when laying on the beach or pool)

Also, I agree - STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF!!!

Hope this helps -
