La Traviata and Me

Posted by Mari Jones on April 30, 2008 11:25 AM | 

You may not have heard from me for some time as I've been busily trying to get some results from the gym.

Although my stamina seems to be improving (I can now walk up a hill without having a near collapse at the top) I haven't lost any weight.

I keep on telling myself muscle weighs more than fat, but as kind hubby pointed out it takes a year to put on a pound of muscle (surely that can't be right?!)

I think my problem is it's hard to get three sessions in at the gym a week. Last night I read an article that Gwyneth Paltrow's trainer reckons you need to do an hour's exercise six times a week!

Who the hell has got time do to that? That would mean I'd come home to a very fed up husband and a child who'd probably forget who I was.

It's fine if you have a nanny and don't have a job but I'd say virtually impossible for the rest of us.

She added that if one of her clients went to the gym just three times a week she'd regard them as slackers!

Three words love "Get a Life". She's also Madonna's trainer so that would explain the bionic woman body.

I've still never met a man who finds her sexy, I think if she looked a little softer they probably would.

Anyway, I was born in the wrong era. Last week I played a courtesan in La Traviata at Venue Cymru.

The dress was fab as the corset made me look as if I had a little waist, it showed off my shoulders and hid my legs.

Women must have looked incredible in the 19th century.

Right I’m off to build a time machine.....
