So finally, because I have utterly and miserably FAILED to get my body to look like this (minus the belly stud):

I have resorted to paying someone else to do the job for me *grins*

None of you will believe it, but I used to have a body like that 10-12 years ago. HAW-HAW-HAW……I can hear you laughing! Be nice! I’ve even been skinnier than that, but that’s not where I want to head. Having the above body will do for me.

I’ve had my Personal Trainer come to my home to kick butt for the second time now and I just know that it’s going to work. She hasn’t been too tough on me just yet (THANK YOU, MARISSA!) but I feel energized and my batteries are completely re-charged, despite the 6am almost sleepover that I had with some crazy Italians.

I seriously feel good. Of course, I can do this myself. Why waste money? Because I have the kind of personality that requires it, that’s why. If I could have done it myself, I would have done it. It’s been 10-12 years and year after year, I have TALKED about getting the original body back, but year after year, the scale meter pointer just moves more right. I’ve joined gyms, I’ve joined exercise classes, I’ve done yoga, I’ve started running (key word being STARTED), I’ve even bought a RM12k treadmill, dammit!

As each year passed, my clothes size that used to be UK8 is now UK16. I am a short girl. I cannot afford to be UK size 16!!! Zara doesn’t do clothes that size!! Even at BCBG, I’d be damn lucky to find anything. So.

Yes, personal trainer. She took my photos this morning and I asked if I could suck in my tummy because, you know, I didn’t want to gross any of you out. But she said no! Leave it natural! *look of horror*

So for now, I am NOT putting my UK size 16 photo up for your viewing. Perhaps when my body approaches the above pic, I may consider the before and after results to INSPIRE YOU. Even at a UK size 12, I’d be happy. I’m genetically gifted behind – XL Biggggggggg J Lo butt.

Seriously though, the best thing about personal training, is that I feel much happier and much fitter. ALREADY!!!

Just you wait till Christmas. *PRESSUREEEEEEEE!!!!!*

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
