My walk home...


For once i wasn't on call with anyone when I walked to the station from work. Normally the fifteen minute wall to and from between work and station is when I call home, friends and in general catch up with people. It helps in two ways, firstly I don't get bored walkin alone also I don't get the feeling that the walk is sooo long and secondly I am really bad at keeping in touch with friends who aren't in London.

Anyway coming back to the snap, after a long workout at the gym and a soothing hot shower I started walkin to the station. As usual called B, no answer. Also tried a few friends but no luck so I look around and I have to admit its a beautiful walk... desolate but bright and in a eerie way mesmerising...

Work Out!


Finally after months is saying "I will.. I will", I've finally done it... joined the gym that is.

Hmm so what's different this time around? Well for one I don't think ill quit main reason - Group Classes! Don't know what I'm on about? Well go on and check out the nearest gym and find out all about studio or group classes. It wasn't something I ever would have tried except for two really pushy girls at work who kept asking me to join them and boy! am I glad... its nothing but a bunch of ppl armed with exercise mats listening to a very fit instructor and following floor exercises from less intensive classes like yoga and Pilates to extremely taxing classes like Spinning and Body pump. A crazy variety of classes and something for everyone at best.

I have been going regularly for the last two weeks and plans to continue till I drop two dress sizes! Whoa! seems soo far away but guess I'm as determined as I can be. Oh also been on salads the last two weeks too except for one slip up where I gobbled up two pieces of fried chicken :( I know... I know..

Well today in on for Pilates at 6. Hope it goes well, I also plan for 20 min on cross trainer.

Ohh btw did I mention that they did a complete health check up when I joined and I am fit as a fiddle in all aspects except for the excess weight... which should be taken care off. Have a session with a personal trainer tomorrow who is gonna chalk up a training plan for me... fingers crossed it all goes well
