Hello everyone, new blog today as I finally managed to get my arse out of bed to try Body Combat class. Its pretty much your standard intense exercise class but it involves lots of punching and kicking, its a mixture of boxing, kick boxing, martial arts and aerobics. I found it a bit hard too coordinate my arm movements with my leg movements but I've never been the most graceful/rhythmic of people. Its a lot of cardio but that's not the hard part, you can feel it toning your arms, abs, legs, chest, you'll feel muscles in your body you forgot you had or in some cases have never felt before! I was absolutely dead by the end of it and if I'm honest I wasn't doing the press ups at the end more of flailing around on the floor on my stomach, but you can burn 540 calories in a 55min class which isn't too bad going and it makes a change from the standard gym stuff. It's a good class and really works you hard but if its your first time, you feel like you need a bit of further instruction compared to the other toned lovelies in the class :)
Another first this week, wearing size 14 chinos, sounds sad but it was really exciting, everyone is probably sick of me mentioning it as I did not stop banging on about it yesterday :) I also got a new tshirt which is a size 14 and size 14 bikini bottoms for my two new bikinis still not sure if I'm going on holiday but if not I've got some awesome bikinis to wear to any beach parties in Aber when I start back! Not quite ready to wear them in public just yet but I'm on my way :)
I did try on size 14 jeans, the hipster ones annoyed me how did i used to wear them? o.O I'm not quite fitting into size 14 jeans just yet but its probably only a few weeks away. Clothes sizes aren't the issue here as I know how unpredictable they can be, it'll just feel good when I can say goodbye to looking at 16-18 clothes and not have this constant disappointment going into most shops where they only go up to a 16 and feel crushed when the biggest size in the shop doesn't fit. I want to get my weirdo streak in my clothes again, I've felt like covering up a lot more and not wearing outrageous/weird outfits as much as I didn't want to draw attention to myself due to my weight but I feel like I'm really getting my confidence back and being Laura again and slowly but surely my belly is shrinking! May never have a flat stomach but I can hopefully have one a lot less rounded.
Shall update tomorrow with my 5 week weigh in :) xo
