Not only was I unhappy with the way I looked after having two children, I had also been asked to be the Maid of Honour at my sister-in-laws wedding and I was adamant I was NOT going to be ‘the fat bridesmaid’! But I had absolutely no idea how I was going to achieve this. Then a friend mentioned to me she had heard of something called DNA Boot Camp and asked whether I wanted to go along with her for a FREE TRIAL session? Initially, I was very apprehensive about it, partly because of what I’d heard about Boot Camps and how it was very regimented and hardcore, and I just wasn’t sure I would fit in. But my friend didn’t want to go alone, so I agreed to go along anyway. At our first session, we were greeted by a friendly group of people of all shapes, sizes and abilities. I so enjoyed that first session that I really couldn’t wait to do another and another and another; I was pretty much hooked right from the off. There are many things I find great and uplifting about Boot Camp; from the incredibly friendly atmosphere and banter, the variety of the workouts (no two sessions are ever the same, unlike going to the gym, which I used to dread). The fact is, you never know what to expect next, which naturally means you never get bored or complacent. What’s more, both the support and encouragement the trainers give you is invaluable, especially if you find a certain type of exercise difficult. They always seem to be able to make things simpler for you if you’re struggling, but without compromising the workout. And, in time, you find that you can gently work your way up to achieving anything you want. Before I knew it, I was soon attending two evening Boot Camp sessions a week (there are morning sessions too) and today I regularly attend three sessions a week as well as running in between classes. If anyone had told me in back in June 2011 what I was going to achieve, I honestly wouldn’t have believed them. When I look at myself in the mirror today, I can actually see muscle definition (not to be confused with bulky muscles) in places I never knew muscles even existed. Although I was very happy with my new body shape - by the end of October last year I had dropped 2 dress sizes - I had not actually lost that much weight (even though I know that muscle weighs heavier than fat) so felt I also needed to address this. After discussing the matter with a DNA trainer, he asked me to list everything I ate and drank in a typical week. This I did and at the same time I also had my measurements taken, before being given my own personal nutrition plan (not a diet) to follow for 4 weeks. And four weeks later, what do you know, I’d lost 8.4lbs (7.5 inches) and also dropped another dress size! Today I have all my old confidence back - and more - and feel great and so very proud of myself. These days, instead of simply being a mummy, I’m on a fast-track to becoming a Yummy Mummy too!

GOOD OLD PIE & MASH Would you Adam & Eve it, Maldon's famous Pie, Mash & Eel house is under new ownership. The Edge popped down there the other week to have a butcher’s and was mightily impressed.
