Having completed my first ever 60 Day Challenge. I suppose that the next question is what to do with the next 60 days?
Well.... I have absolutely loved going to class 5 - 6 times a week, so I'm keeping it up. The only down side is that it cuts into the lunching I can do - but that does have it's own benefits. I love the green smoothies so they stay too. And the low carb diet is a winner too - I'm not sticking religiously to the PLAN but see no reason to return to my pre-60 Day Challenge carbohydrate consumption patterns which were, I think it fair to say, responsible for gluing those last few kilos of baby weight to my limp unresisting body.
Oh, in other news I've discovered this thing called SlimPasta from Woolworths in the health food section, you can also get it as konyakku noodles from the japanese section at Wing & Co. It has practically no carbs, bugger-all calories and is made out of food. We've been having it with chicken stir fry. I'll do an in depth post on it the next time I cook it. The main thing to remember is to rinse it well to start with and make sure you swoosh it around in your sauce for a while so it soaks up some flavour.
Ciao for now!

The Miao Strikes Back
Dear Reader,
I have to apologise for having dropped off the face of the planet. Unforseeable personal circumstances have until just now robbed me of the will to write. But I am back like the nineties so watch out. I have been inspired by Tori's bon mots about the end of her 60 Day Challenge - I feel that I too must report.
Without getting into the nitty gritty I am happy to confess that I am in pants that haven't seen my bum since I was 30. My sister, my hairdresser, and my facialist (all irritatingly honest people) have all commented favourably on the new svelter me. I feel fantastic. I went from being one of the people in the class who snorted at the suggestion that her legs would ever do "that" to twisting them around like nobody's business. I'm flexible! Unbelievable! I'm more flexible through the sides, legs and hips than when I was a teenager and my shoulder mobility has nearly returned to pre-office job factory settings - all the better for piggy-backing toddlers.
THANKYOU MISS C AND THE BARRECODE CREW! My husband owes you a debt of gratitude - if you see him on the door of a party or event somewhere, make him let you in for free. Tell him that he owes you for my bum!
