Running off Easter Eggs

As you may know I am not a lover of exercise. I have been on a mission since last year to enjoy it and accept that exercise needs to be in my life whether I like or not. Last year I met my wonderful trainer Col (one our experts on Miracle Beginnings website) who put together a program for weights and cardio which I could do indoors to not allow excuses of not being able to find time. I loved it! I worked out 5 days a week. My arms toned up, my bum gained shape and the muffin top was slowing disappearing and then Christmas came along. I stopped. I lost motivation.

Since then I have been on and off with no commitment. I started yoga about 7 weeks ago and absolutely love it, however, felt that I needed to add another element to my exercising to get fit and toned. Whilst thinking about what my plan may be, Easter came along!!! I am not a great fan of chocolate. If I had a choice of cheese or chocolate, I would gooble a cheese platter all to myself.

So why am I addicted to the easter eggs that are not even mine! Its because they are there staring at me in the cupboard everyday!! So my exercise plan needed to get a move on before I turned into an easter egg!

I asked for advice from my husband (the fitness professional) and he suggested incorporating more yoga, a circuit using my own body weight and to take up running. Well, I laughed out loud, I have never even contemplating running. But he assured me its the quickest way to get results.

So I started running!!! I could not walk the for three days after my first run and let me clarify I am not running kilometres. I walk/run. However, after a few times, I am actually enjoying it. I am running more and to a further distance.

The only thing now is I need a running bra before my boobs cause damage! They get in the way, they bounce around everywhere and flop out all over the place. Not a pretty sight but at least I am trying and working off the easter eggs!!!
