What doesn't kill you...

...makes you stronger... & fitter.

I have always joked about being the last person on earth to ever join a gym, and here I am - 2 weeks into it & actually really enjoying it.
I have yet to see any results (in fact I have picked up weight & gained 4cm around my waist) but I do feel better and I can see an improvement in my muscle tone as well as my skin.
Why haven't I lost any weight or cms? That is a good question! I secretly suspect my body is in absolute shock!
It isnt used to exercising or eating so much healthy vegetables and fruit!
My brother is a qualified Body For Life trainer & he is telling me not to worry, so I am not (yet)
We'll re-evaluate in a month and see what the results are then.
I take my iPod touch with me everyday & I must say; I don't think I would have been able to do 40 minutes cardio a day without my music.

The playlist is called: Shake that Crown (my nickname is Princess)
I need music that is loud and has a good beat to take my mind off the burning muscles

Some of the booty-shaking tunes in it are:
  1. Leave me Alone (I'm lonely) Pink
  2. Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
  3. Long Shot - Kelly Clarkson
  4. Love me Do - The Beatles
  5. Love Shack - The B52's - This one is my personal favourite - it gives an extra boost of energy when I hear it
  6. Never Say Never - Justin Bieber ft Jaden Smith (yes I am a closest Bieber fan - SOME songs - but I still dont like him)
  7. Animal - Neon Trees
  8. Over You - Daughtry
  9. Pocket Full of Sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield
  10. Rise above This - Seether
What songs get you moving?

Chase Crawford....

... makes my knees go weak!



This hottie is my new obsession think it has anything to do with his un-canny resemblance to Zac?)



Since discovering Gossip Girl (yes I am a bit late - purely because I never thought it would be my thing) I have fallen in lust with Mr Nate Archibald. He is sexy and I  adore his eyes and his voice... he can whisper sweet nothings to me anyday!



I am only on Season 3, but I am really hoping that we get to see a it more of Nate's character develop. I love his friendship with Dan and I love the way he fits in equally as well in the loft as he does at a fancy dinner dressed in a tux. Nate seems to be a genuine "good guy" with a naughty sense of humour (just the kind I like)





Watch out for Mr Chace Crawford - look what's in store.....

He was scheduled to play the lead in the remake of Footloose but dropped out. Zac Efron was also tied to the project at one point before dropping out as well. My boys do have something in common besides the sexy hair & gorgeous blue eyes.
A romantic comedy Responsible Adults - starts filming this year. Chase plays opposite Katie Holmes. Shooting is expected to start in the fall in Los Angeles.

The House Gun - Chase signed to play a lead role of South African man accused of murder in a new independent film based on a novel by South African author Nadine Gordimer. The movie will also star Pierce Brosnan.
Chase will star along with Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez in What to Expect When You're Expecting - release planned for May 11, 2012.

Can't wait to see more of him!
