Working out the kinks

Day 2 of Sexy in Six and you could say I'm working out the kinks.

The plan today was supposed to be: 5.20am drag le bootie out of bed and get run ready for 6am 10km drama kickoff with the Luke's Locker posse. 7.30am feel like a hero post 10km and bore you all silly with all kinds of speed / distance/ gps stats with my finally downloaded iphone running gadge!!

However at 5.55am it was clear le bootie had no intention of getting out of bed to go running right then, even despite telling it we have a half marathon in 4 weeks and it didn't have a choice. It was having none of it - instead protesting we could go for a run on the treadmill for 50 mins in air conditioned bliss after Crossfit this afternoon.

Um if you say so.

So well 6pm Crossfit comes around. To be honest I could have laid down and had a mild heart attack after the warm up 5 minutes of double unders,  but since today's Leanfit was just a 15 minute as many reps as possible routine I felt confident I would survive it. (The Crossfitters were doing yesterday's Leanfit routine today which was a double routine - I passed out around the 25 minute mark yesterday ;-) Today's 15 mins should have been a breeze in comparison.

Um if you say so. (I'm still not convinced the kettlebells hadn't been sitting in the sun all afternoon - my lighter than light bad boy was seriously scorching - at what temp does iron combust? ;-)

Well post-crossfit, instead of heading to the gym and 50 mins of treadmill time, my bootie somehow found itself in the Target frozen food aisle reading the list of chemicals that make up a Skinny Cow ice-cream sandwich. None of the chemicals that make up a Skinny Cow ice-cream are remotely paleo compliant. Just so you know. Not that I would ever consume one.

Um if you say so.

Despite this (not so) minor abberation, I have been 100% paleo all day. Ergo: I am pretty much famished and now out of eggs, ham, fruit, spinach and cashew nuts and dreaming about macaroni & cheese with a goat's cheese and balsamic vinegar side salad!

Clearly this is not quite the level of focus I was hoping for so to ensure a better performance going forward and get this Sexy and Six show properly on the road, I have decided a little bribe is in order (good thing I'm making up the rules ;-)):  So one ticket to Keith Urban, Country Music God on Sunday night can only be purchased ONLY IF I complete:

• 3 days of 100% paleo (no cheats - not even Skinny Cow chemical whipped air - none whatsoever)


• 1 x 10 km group run 


• 1 x 5 km solo run 


• 3 x Leanfit sessions by 6pm on Friday

Cranking this song up on the radio today - reallllllllllly makes me want to go to another summer country concert:

Is it just me or is Mr Owens actually incredibly H.O.T?! FOCUS girl FOCUS! xx

Girl got a Makeover!!

Kaye - yes I did steal this from you - you are the original fabulous biatch! xx

This is going on my tombstone if I don't get made into a diamond post demise.

Check out my newer, sleeker, (almost, almost 100% complete) more radiant blogger self - you likeee? Well me likee. A LOT *with extra SUPERsparkles*. Hmmm but is it still pink enough?!

I was thinking that this elegant makeover should mark a transition into more eloquent blogging and less ramblage but as I only went in for the beauty makeover not the complete overhaul (girl is on a budget) my magnificent ramblings (though hopefully with slightly fewer parenthesis!!) will continue.

However to mark this auspicious occasion, today does mark the commencement of Sexy in Six!

In six weeks today I will be back in London (yaysobyay), back at my desk (sobsobsob), back in the land of Cadbury's chocolate (yayyyyyyyy) and autumnal wet and cold (sobsobsoooooooob) and OF COURSE squeezing myself back into my size 10 work clothes (no-emotion-possible-as-taking-very-shallow-breaths)

I was going to set some new SUPERsexy goals but instead I have unfinished business to resolve before I head home so my goals remain the same BUT my focus is back and my window of opportunity is exactly six weeks and narrowing everyday.

Six Weeks To Sexy has (duh!) Six Objectives:

1. 100% Paleo – no dairy, no sugar, no carbs, no crap of any description for the next six weeks. I’m intrigued to see how many of the 24 Stateside gained pounds I can blast off in six weeks. I’m aiming for a 14lbs loss ideally.


2. Taming the Tummy - from a current bloated 104cm – to as small as I can get it in six weeks. To compare on the 1^st Feb this year I was 10st2lbs with a waist of 93cm.


3. Completing 60 sec ring Crossfit challenge – but now it’s an L-sit rather than a straight hold. Crossfitting Curtis pointed out that I’m not really working anything except upper body and actually if I’m putting in the effort, then I should do an L-sit and work my core/abs also.  Thanks Curtis. I should point out that Curtis can do a handstand in the rings so he mistakenly thinks anything is possible.  But since you’ve raised my competitive hackles........it’s on. Bitch I am Fabulous!


4. Half-marathon baby – 18^th September in San Francisco!!


5. Me in a bikini with (non-photoshopped) photographic evidence


6. ABSOLUTE FOCUS on Sexy in Six – doing whatever it takes (‘whatever’ limited to what is legal in the Great State of Texas of course) with 100% enthusiasm and ZERO complaints about being tired, fed up, hot, cross, weak, hungry, sore - well you get the picture.

Special Note to Challenge Han: I hope you appreciate that I haven’t forgotten about our little sky diving bet – Sexy in Six will knock three of my four challenges out of the park. (yayyayyay) That just leaves a fast 10km race for me and a 10km distance to complete for you when I get back!! Just saying – you have 9 weeks to get 10km ready!! I'm thinking this: ShockAbsorber 10km!

Say after me: Bitch. I am fabulous! xx
