Just one girl with a lot to lose… and everything to gain.
So, I’ve been Spinning since March, 2010. I’ve added two classes on since that, so that my schedule is: Sunday: Spin; Tuesday: Zumba; Wednesday: Spin; Friday: Spin. I did, at one point, add on Aqua Fit/Aqua Zumba on a Wednesday morning, and when Gillian, my Zumba instructor, went off on maternity leave, I changed my [...]

Two years ago, I joined a gym. I’m pretty thrilled about this. I forgot to mark the anniversary last year, but this year I was thinking: It’s been two years. I deserve to mark this anniversary. Considering, when I joined the gym, I wasn’t sure how long I would last, I’m… God, I’m overwhelmed. I [...]
It’s almost a week into 2012 already, can you believe that? On December January 1st, I wrote a couple of personal resolutions in my diary, but I’ve got a couple of health and fitness resolutions that I’d like to hit by the end of the year. Lost at least 50lbs. I usually don’t put numbers [...]
I woke up bright and early on Wednesday morning (for me, 10am is bright and early) and got a lift down to The Water Palace for the new Aquafit classes they’ve started. It was only three classes at the end of the year, and this was the last one; I’d convinced Mum to come with [...]
I’m currently a big bag of skin, bones, and PAIN. For Go The Distance, I originally set myself the challenge of 18 elliptical miles (2 miles, 9 times) and 9 strength/weight training sessions. I went on the elliptical tonight, and did the entire two miles backwards, because it seems to hurt my foot less when [...]
I mentioned Go The Distance in my last post, and I thought I’d explain my goals: My goals for GTD this month were as follows: 120 miles in Spinning class (assuming that in each class, I cycle approximately 10 miles), and to do 8 miles on the elliptical, because what I was doing on the [...]
Image by sirwiseowl | by NCND 2.0 CC I got stood up tonight. I’ve only been stood up once or twice before, and it’s heartbreaking, and infuriating, and… Let me start at the beginning. I went to the gym early tonight, to get my elliptical workout in. I think it’s getting to the awesome stage, [...]
When I was in the gym tonight, I was doing my usual: 16 minutes on the elliptical at level 6, then a 4-minute cool-down in reverse. I’d just finished and was dripping with sweat, heading out of the gym to get my stuff and wait for my Spinning class to start, when I noticed a [...]
One thing I’ve gotten used to since I’ve upped the amount of exercise I’m doing is sweat. Since I’ve started my third Spinning class a week, I’m exercising more days than I’m not, which means I’m sweating more days than I’m not. With Zumba, I tend to sweat all over my head and shoulders. When [...]
Just one girl with a lot to lose... and everything to gain.
Tracy is 30 years old, a veteran dieter with almost 300lbs to lose, is taking an extended break from most of her group fitness classes due to pain and lack of funds, much to her chagrin, but continues to go for a wee daily walk, and tries to work out at home.
She loves caramelised butternut squash, garlic and red onions, Indian take away, Irn Bru and Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.
And that's half the problem.
Kat, Rachel, Helena, Simone, "Sassanach", and at the request of the final party:
