Yes, now my Thursday mornings will result in a whole lot of pain. But of course, where there’s pain, there’s gain (or is that, where there’s blame, there’s a claim?). Anyway, you know what I’m getting at – no pain, no gain and all that shizzle.

I was woken this morning by a text at 5.55am from my Personal Trainer, uh-huh you heard correct – my New Personal Trainer. I jumped, okay maybe not exactly jumped … Dragged myself out of bed ready for an hour’s circuit session in the cold outdoors.

December’s festive fun finally got the better of me, and I ended up sniffling my way through Christmas. And I must admit I felt a lot like a well-fed hippo after consuming excessive amounts of foodie yumminess over the holidays.

So, to give my fitness a real kick-start for 2011, I’ve got ten private sessions to push me into a year of health and happiness. And I loved my first workout. I’m in pain, but it’s worth it!

It’s all part of my 2011 ‘get fit, think fit’ theory. Exercising’s a great way of increasing fitness levels, improving health and getting the mind focused for whatever’s thrown my way.

I’ll keep you posted!
