Improving my Fitness

Check out the cuteness of Emilia's outfit as she went off to nursery yesterday! I was so gutted I didn't dress her in it the day before though as we would have been matching! Next time ;) These trousers & top are from Joules which have some amazing kids stuff (but quite pricey) and her shoes are from H&M! She got the pink Minnie watch as a gift in Florida and her backpack is from Pink Lining. Her bow is from Layniebug Designs.

While Emilia was at nursery I took the opportunity to squeeze in another gym session (went three times this week, woo hoo!) and Jonathan brought Eduardo to the pool. I've lost 2lbs so far although weight loss isn't really why I'm going anymore. Initially I did join the gym to shift a couple of pounds (not going to lie!) and in the first month I grew frustrated when I didn't see immediate results. In the first four weeks although I was going to the gym semi-regularly I wasn't breaking much of a sweat and because I refuse to diet I wasn't getting the outcome I wanted. Then I had my second personal training session where the trainer updates my program and makes it a little bit harder. At first I hated it and wanted to give up. I thought it was too difficult and couldn't reach any of the targets that were set for me. But I persisted and told myself that three times a week is doable...Jonathan convinced me that the fact that I was finding the program hard was a GOOD thing, and urged me to keep going. So I did, and now I'm kind of addicted! Two weeks on and my fitness has improved immensely - I can now reach all of my targets and am feeling stronger & fitter than ever. I love how accomplished I feel after a workout and even though there are some days I would rather stay home or spend an extra hour in bed than go to the gym, it's always worth it afterwards!
