INCREDIBLE BLIMP

Spring reveals all...

Last week I was ranting on about the beauty of Spring. 

Had a bit of a reality check this weekend when trying on some of last summer's clothes.  

After lying down on the bedroom floor, concentrating on my pelvic floor/flaw and meditating that my stomach was touching my back bone, I DID manage to get on my light weight jeans. Trouble was the result was anything but "light weight." Looked like last year's christmas pudding was still trying to escape over the top of jeans -  NOT a good look!

Am desperately trying to console myself with thoughts about necessity to eat more in European Winter to protect kiwiself from sudden onset of second ice-age etc etc...truth is I need to shed some kilos!

I am not good at diets but know that if I cut down certain elements I will manage to drop weight. First on the list...no wine during the week. Alcohol is calorie-packed. Then its onto the obvious, avoid over-loading on carbs - biscuits, bread, pasta (sob!!), sugary things etc. Detox with loads of fresh fruit and raw veg...sound familiar?

I also need to move, so  back to the gym. Often the best thing is walking everywhere..I just leave my car at home and use my feet. Good for the environment, good for me. Alot of specialists now swear that the best form of exercise for women is just that, walking.

That's all for today....have to power walk to the awaiting laundry!!
