I’ve delayed doing an update because I took some progress pictures a couple of weeks ago and I looked *smaller* than I did in December, and I was all despondent about it in an ‘ahh fuck it, what’s the point?!’ kind of way (see my body project to compare the Dec-Feb photos in the sidebar).
I was especially down about it since I had been trying to kick it up: I changed my program from … Continue Reading
My corset is a beautiful steel-boned under-bust with a red silk dragon brocade. I haven’t worn it since I started working out, so I thought it was high time I did that to see how the fit had changed.
I put it on over a white button-down collared shirt and a grey pencil skirt (think ‘sexy librarian’, complete with glasses prop…heh). I love the hourglass figure it accentuates on me. It *can* be laced … Continue Reading
At the gym. Doing triceps. First set. Earphones in, music loud. I don’t talk to anyone at the gym.
In my rest period, a hugely built, bald man hovered around the machine, I saw his mouth move. Talking to me.
I removed an earbud.
“Can I work in with you here?”
I nodded. “Sure.”
I watched him move the pin to the very bottom of the weight stack.
“I just have to remember to change … Continue Reading
I haven’t posted any shoe pictures in AGES!
One of the reasons is that I’m buying fewer new shoes (a travesty!!), and another is because my previous apartment had few spots that provided a clear background, so it was difficult to take decent photos.
These aren’t new, but they are lovely aren’t they?!
Strappy black patent leather heels with a snakeskin feature around the heel.
I started an exercise blitz on 30 April with a 12 week program involving gym work 6 days a week (see my Check My Workouts! page for more detail), and pilates twice a week (which I have been doing forever).
Last week, I finished my second 12 week program where I was gymming 5 days a week, with pilates still twice a week.
I have just started my third 12 week stint.
Psychologically, it is … Continue Reading
Last updated Oct 10th (see Check My Workouts for all updates)
On 30th April 2012, I decided to start an intense workout regime with the goal of getting myself into the best shape of my life (big call!). It consists of gym work 6 days a week over a three month period.
On 25th May, I did a call out to others to join me, and some amazing folks heeded the call.

I added … Continue Reading
New progress picture.
There is more definition compared with a couple of months ago (if you want to compare the shot from two months ago ‘side by side’-ish, go take a look at the ‘‘body project’‘ page).
Any and all compliments, encouragement and motivational pats most welcome.
Extra brownie points if you refer to my ‘guns’ in a non-ironic way…… Continue Reading
