(I LOVE doing that). I did it just ONCE, but I did it. He was about 90 and whistled as I jogged past. I have not been whistled at in years."Hey, you made my day" I said. He looked bemused. Took out his ipod earphones and replied "I always whistle when I run, it's my teeth, they don't fit properly." My heart sank. Still, I continue with the running.
The workouts with Claire from Paragon Personal Training have taken a turn for the worse. Just as I was whizzing through the toughest of reps, she changed the routine! Now it's hard. On some we have skipped stage 2. We are onto stage 3. We do 8 reps and then the final number which I call "die". There is no "9" just "die". It is the hardest thing, but I confess, I feel wonderful when finished. That's the best part about my sessions - the end. Claire smiles throughout, chats away and knows exactly when and how to distract me. I put myself through this punishment twice a week and throw in a session of Boot Camp with other sugarladies just for the fun of it! I am the most useless one at Boot Camp and blame it on the sessions with Claire earlier in the week. So far I have got away with hiding at the back. Despite my moans and groans, I have seen results and fast. Claire is a sweetie and the incentive to have a toned bottom like her twentysomething toned bottom, keeps me lunging and squatting til the cows come home! Do join us for the most Bootylicious of Boot Camps @ 9.30 every Friday morning in the gardens of St Leonard's. All levels welcome - especially the really unfit who I can hide behind!
My love affair with oat cakes is still going strong. I have discovered sweet ones - Stem Ginger are just divine with a cup of Earl Grey. Substituting all things white with brown or orange is working too (switching white maltesers for milk chocolate ones works a treat)..........and I really have bags more energy. The lovely Alison Levinson and I are meeting again next week for the big fat weigh in - that gives me 6 days of cabbage soup and water (only kidding A!). Once again, the scales shall be chucked out the window if they have not budged a little. The partners in crime (Alison and Claire have joined forces to get you healthy and fit in no time) keep telling me muscle weighs more than fat.....HOW much more is the question? Still, I persevere and it is amazing how many cravings are no longer. I have also become a better cook and Alison's book of recipes is a godsend. Good food, especially good bread is key according to Alison so I am still wolfing down slices of warm sourdough from Judges completely guilt-free!
All's busy and well at sugar headquarters. We have our second London event next week, and planning groups in Brighton and Hove. The lovely Jane is busy in the office and coming up with all sorts of great activities for the sugars. A fashion show, film night, cocktails and lunch are all on the cards. Our group is growing and growing, so do spread the word. Karl ( yes we do use the services of a man every now and then) is changing the website for the better and we shall be taking advice too from Fiona of FAT promotions, so soon we shall have a fabulous site for you to browse. We are also taking over a broom cupboard of an office in London town........
Congratulations are in order for a few lovely sugars - Amber Rudd a true blue and a little bit pink sugarlady, well done you - we look forward to you making Hastings an even better place to be and the duo from the Black Rock; Tracey-Ann and Lesley - you so should have won girlies, we all know that!
This week we are loving the queen of the wrap dress; Diane von Furstenburg....her shimmering new gold dress on Net a Porter is to die for! It's surely time for a mani/pedi too. Head to "Treat" or the students at the new college; South Coast College Hastings do a grand job so I hear. They will certainly have their work cut out with the sugar hooves.........
Check out our events and see you there...........
