Gym with Kim!

I can’t remember if I told you guys, but I joined a Gym. Kim’s gym, to be precise, which is a mouthful and I always end up saying to Stu, ‘I’m going to the Kim with gym!’

I’m not too worried about dropping a dress size - I’m currently a size 12 and am not really concerned about dropping to a 10 - although it would be nice to be a little bit more trim.. I could stand to lose a little from my tummy, thighs, hips… You know, general hot spots for women. But I have wide hips as it is, so I’m not expecting miracles. In all honesty I like my curves, and although I wasn’t always, I’m now very thankful for the fact that I’m not stick thin.

All I really hope to get from my gym experience is a little more toned. Not keen on the jiggly look I’ve going on now! I’ve only been a member for about 2 weeks, but I feel good every time I go to the gym. Sorta scared of my level of fitness though - it’s almost nonexistent! One body pump class leaves me out of action for about a day and a half, with no hope of any exercise in that time because my legs are so stiff and sore. I’m going to keep at body pump though, I really enjoy that one. I did a body combat class this morning with Kim and that left me exhausted, although I feel quite good after it. Tomorrow morning we’ve decided to do an rpm class at 6.15, which will be interesting!

I like having a gym partner. When I wake up at 6am tomorrow, as horrible as I’m expecting that to be, it’s would be so much harder to bail because I know Kim is going  on the expectation that I’ll be there too. Also, it was good having someone to laugh at me in body combat because I had no idea of the steps or moves.

I can thank Kim for my new found love of the gym, and I hope that in a couple of weeks I’ll be able to report back to say that I can already feel the difference. I’m going to try and not start off too hard, I don’t want to burn out, but as long as there is progression, no matter how slow, I’ll be happy!
