Body Jammin

After a little while of talking about it, Liane, Karleen and I decided on action and attended a Body Jam fitness class at the YMCA down the road from Lianes.
We have decided to start our new years resolution and get fit and lose some weight, which, after 5 kids and a bit of procrastination, I really need to do.
It was so much fun, different to the normal fitness classes where to be honest, I never have much fun at anyway. Though it was still pretty hard out, the instructor was cool, the class was small and it was full of women which was even better. We even learn how to dance through it. The mamba, the chachacha, some hip hop.
SO our goals at the mo:
# Get fit
# Watch what we eat (the hardest thing for all 3 of us!)
# Lose some weight!!
It seems to be working out okay so far. Its a lot easier to be doing it with other people and have that support there for us. Really need it if your self control is up the creek :)

good on ya! Helpful hint - no carbs! I'd swear by it. Just don't eat bread products, rice or pasta. The first week will be hard as your body detoxs. I lost 4kg with no exercise and after that about 1kg a week for my wedding. In the end I probably lost about 13kg over the year and am slowly regaining it back - lol. No kids excuse either.

I reckon even if you just don't eat carbs for dinner it helps. I did Body Jam in Akl - I loved it.
