Spin class

Image
I have always loved a good spin class. But it is difficult to come by, not the class itself but the good instructor.  I’m a member of pure gym, you know it’s opened all day long, not that I ever went at night but the thought is there, and well it’s cheap and has classes. I do variety of things but few weeks ago I attended 3 spin classes with 3 different instructors. And it was such a different experience every time.   Monday was the worst, weather it’s because I found it a bit demotivating that instructor wasn’t on the bike or the choice of music, no one needs a remix of Immigrant song by Led Zeppelin! Or maybe it was the way said instructor was giving instructions... lets just day I double check who is teaching what now. And avoid anything by this dude.  Wednesday it was the same lovely dude who did a class before. Two classes back to back with lovely softly speaking dude with fabulous chilling and melodic music damn right I got the burn on!  Wednesdays are my ...

the progress so far

I can say that I am actually proud of my self. I am keeping up with training.  It is also hit me, thanks to Twitter, that Survival is less then a month away.... But we are heading to Spain a week before, so I guess I will have to take my gym kit with and stay indoors for a bit and on top of what I m eating and drinking. Kind of serious holiday...  Today I woke up early and went to the gym, good tunes really keep you going and I also run home after. The GPS on my phone was a bit off so it told me that in first 5min I run 3k and my average pace was 1k per 1min 30sec. I mean come on! Would love that being true but then that would make me better than real and elite athletes! So I had to restart that... I do not feel as tired as I was last time, when I did that. I guess not doing 3 classes and then running home did help. But I'm intended to do the same again on Saturday...  So I'm keeping up with training.  But I do not have my sponsorship... Please gu...

I have started a new job... It took forever to find, and I would not say it is a dream job, but it's a nice full time position. It is really nice to be back in the hotels again. But I guess I still did not gave up on becoming a personal trainer. But not yet...  On that note... today I did an intensity class, it was actually so hard. I did not think that I can star jump with 5kg in each hand. God it was hard, I am actually a bit scared how I will be feeling tomorrow. But I also want to tell you about my obsession... Cassandra Clare and her Mortal Instruments books. I am obsessed! I cannot put my kindle down, work does really interfere with my reading. I am on the third book now. So as you know film is out and have been looking forward to it  and I actually already seen it twice. Thinking of it I might go see it the 3rd time. I think I actually formed an opinion about this film. I think it was the best what they could have done and actors are spot on... Ma...

I m back to the real world...

Now after we left Bath I can finally rejoin the "real" world... Or as Viera put it Daria is a "happy bunny" world...  I am back gymming to PureGym and just singed up for Cineworld unlimited card! So I though I do it properly. So I singed up for not one but two classes at the gym, I did work out properly. And after that I was in a lot of pain for two whole days! But my legs and butt feel amazing! And to test drive my new cineworld card I went to see Epic! And it was soo cute! Colin Farell with his sexy Irish accent.... Funny slug... Steven Tyler as a caterpillar... How cool could it get.  Oh did I mention that they ride the birds and have cute little saddles on them?! Although it is one doomed love story...  Right well I better go back to unpacking

Birmingham, it is so nice to meet you!

I walked to city center... I found many amazing things such as: -It only take 45min walk to town from our home -Cineworld and PureGym are in the same building -People are very nice and have cute accent, sounds like a winy song -These beautiful things.... the canal!! Love the organised water feature! This awesome building will be opening in Septermer to house B'ham library! How cool? Half of an Angel of the North? I do not know but it is just super cool art! Beautiful fountain on Victoria's Square Now this is a ceiling in massive Waterstones... you know how I love the book shops And this is on the door of Watersones on New Street. In last few days I have rejoined the "real" aka my world, I'm again a memeber of the Pure Gym and Cineworld Unlimited card! Woooo!! Went to do two classes in the gym of Thursday today it is Sunday and my legs are still hurting. Will have a rock hard butt!! Have an amaz...

I go to the gym and run outdoor (last one occasionally), I eat almost healthy... well I do love cheese any cheese, stinkier the better and I love wine... Maybe that is why I am still very soft around my middle...  This is so frustrating...  So I am considering the diet... I do not know how to diet, or like the idea of it... Maybe I shall just cut out cheese and wine. SAD!! So sad right now. also one of the reason I am actually terrified of having babies. So I would put on all the weight but will not be able to shift it... I m not 23 you know! (do not tell anyone....)  Maybe cave man aka paleo.... I don't know. Any advice....  Oh and I'm off to the gym! Grumpy face!! Fat, why do you ruin my wee body?! How dare you! 

This amazing feeling...

Finally after 2 long months I am back in the gym!!!! In December with lots of work I simply did not have any time for the gym.. I know it doesn't take long or much time but I just didn't have any energy left. Work sucked it all out of me... January was the month of moving to England...So then I had to see what's where and how much they want. Have to say after paying £15 per month paying more is strange.  But my new gym has a pool! I will be going to swim... Well that is the plan really:) also one great excuse to go shopping for a swimming costume. Also I do want these.... The day after induction I woke up with muscular pain... So happy! I feel better already and I started eat better. Some how I always become very conscious of what I eat when I exercise. A lot of miso soup that make me super happy Speaking of miso soup... Is there an Asian food supermarket in Bath? Anyone? And I feel like a super woman again! Love this feelin...

Quick Note...

Cardiff 10K is tomorrow... feeling like I want to get it over with! But I'm sure this will be fine. Have so many supporters coming! Thank you in advance guys:)  In relation to the  Happy Place post  husband says that I will never get fitter since I drink wine like water... Well I am going to prove him wrong... and will stop with wine!  Lots of love xx

As a child I was not allowed to do any sports... Nothing! So I couldn't run, play volleyball... I was always skinny in school, young fast metabolism. I miss it a lot! Then I got older, start eating bad food and discovered alcohol. When I came back from my Swiss studies home I was about 60kg... Trust me for some one with my frame it shows! So I've joined the gym. I was doing dance classes only, it was great fun! Combine this with no time to eat I dropped a dress size in no time... Then I moved here to UK. I have joined one gym but didn't have time to go due to my work. I have joined the other gym... Then another gym a small independent gym with awesome classes and went with lovely V. Oh fun we had, working together, gymming together! But their lease run out and they were moving... I went back to the old gym and was very happy until they decided to improve. It was horrible, stuff everywhere and even less space... I felt like a sa...
