And so the marathon that is Christmas is drawing to a close. I must say I am knackered. All that eating and socialising. It is simply exhausting. Oh and I was working for chunks of it too, whilst grazing happily on the 14 packets of mince pies that people bring into the office when you have to work over Christmas. As a result I face a gym emergency (like half the population I suspect), come this new year.
So I have been pondering my new year’s resolutions. They inevitably revolve around being a stone lighter and looking 10 years younger. They haven’t changed for the last 10 years. Actually that is a slight fib. The weight wish has gone up.....well you know how it is. Two children have left their mark... and I suspect the old metabolic rate is starting to slow down (like the rest of me I might add). But we can all dream eh? And if I could metamorphose into someone for the new year, I think it would have to be a hybrid of Jennifer Aniston (without the high maintenance hair), meets Kate Winslet (now, not in Titanic)..... I would love to hear your suggestions – about you not me I might hastily add......!
So what to do? Well the DVD fitness programme is a glimmer of light on the dark horizon. I actually enjoy doing them and there really is no excuse when faced with the 1500 reasons I can come up with for not going for a run. I am also doing the Edinburgh Marathon Celebrity relay in May, so there is nowhere to hide on that one. Fortunately my leg is the smallest (thank the lord) and so I only have to do just under 5 miles.
Other than that I am open as ever to your kind and sometimes unkind but very funny suggestions! I still have some things to do on my gym to do list, like pilates, boxercise, body tone and military fitness (which I am dreading but will be attempting first). So if you have anything that you would like to fling at me, I will happily give it a go. In a general sporting sense I can’t wait for the new year. A World Cup, another Ashes series, the new F1 season, where I am intrigued by the return of Michael Schumacher (looks a bit like Hugh Grant don’t you think?), Commonwealth Games and another Wimbledon where I think it could be Andy Murray’s year (famous last words). So all to play for my friends. Have a great new year whatever you are doing and all the very best for 2010. Toodle pip and have fun.

I think we all dream of looking like somebody else, but can you imagine the shock of going to shave in the morning (me not you!) and seeing a 25 year old Premiership footballer looking back at you, they probably don't even have to shave!!
Ok some surgery could help with lines and rolls, but look at some of the people that have taken it one step to far, I'm sure their skin will split at some point in the future. And the fact that I haven't even succumbed to Just for Men yet suggests that I'll still be looking at me for many mornings to come! Its not that bad, the vision is going so it gives my reflection that soft focus look anyway!
Yes I've worked a fair bit over the holiday period so as well as eating the stuff at home I have polished off all thats come into the office as well. Gotta a year running and in the gym to sort it then!!
