Just one girl with a lot to lose… and everything to gain.
I’m feeling much better now, re: those pains in my spine. I didn’t go see my doctor for a change. Just took a wee rest period from Spinning, which seemed to jolt my back a lot, and the swimming seemed to help, because it didn’t put any pressure on my back. But I’m going back [...]
When I was walking to The Water Palace last night for my swim, it was about 20°C (somewhere in the 60°Fs) and I was feeling almost too hot to have my pink hoodie on, even although all I had on underneath was a camisole. (I practically live in camisoles in the summer, but lately they’ve [...]
I was at the Hamilton Water Palace last night – nothing new there, except it’s a Monday, and I haven’t been on a Monday in forever; and I was there for a swim. I’d done something like ten lengths in a row and there was an older guy, looked maybe in his sixties, who was [...]
I don’t know what happened to my Spin class last night, but it was like… KARAOKE SPIN. Last week, Lisa, our instructor, told us that she was gonna make a “GREATEST HITS!” compilation, and did any of us have any suggestions? I was the only one who did; I wanted Europe’s The Final Countdown. A [...]

For the entirety of this post, I’m probably going to be using bad language. I apologise in advance. I was walking home tonight, and I stopped at a corner. There was one car coming towards me, and cars here are notorious for turning without indicating. Imagine my terror when the car not only swerved towards [...]
I panicked a lot tonight. When I booked into my Spinning class last Wednesday morning, I didn’t make it into the class. I was on The Waiting List. I was fourth on The Waiting List, according to my online booking thingymajigger. I’ve been waiting for the call all week. The call never came. I’ve been [...]
Just so we’re clear: I am totally singing Freddie Mercury in my head right now. [Edit]: Actually, the mirror in my bathroom has eight sides. They’re both awesome.
Yesterday, my Mother survived her first-ever instructor-led exercise class. Since mid December last year, I’ve been trying to convince her to come to the new Aqua fit classes at The Water Palace with me. Twofold reasons: one, I get a lift down and back, and two, my Mum gets some exercise. She’s been saying for [...]
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 [...]
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:
