Be it at the staff Christmas party, while hoping your boss didn\u2019t see what you and your colleagues got up to or was himself, too drunk to remember if he did see. Or maybe your indulgence, like mine, is eating far too much Christmas treats. I honestly think I eat more chocolate at Christmas than any other time of the year. It\u2019s certainly true for mince pies; I can\u2019t seem to get enough of them. For me, I know it\u2019s nearly Christmas when my local supermarket starts selling those delicious mince pies. I\u2019m sure most of you have heard the old adage \u2018who ate all the pies\u2019? Well at Christmas, that\u2019s probably me.<\/p>\n<p>Once Christmas is over we tend to realise the damage we have caused to our bodies and start to look for ways to undue said damage. I for one will probably decide I need a gym membership, which quite frankly never lasts long. It doesn\u2019t seem to matter how motivated I am, by the end of February, I\u2019m already coming up with excuses as to why I can\u2019t make the gym. To be honest, motivation is probably the biggest reason that most of us don\u2019t continue with the gym or some other fitness idea that we said we would try. We probably even spent a fortune on a new workout DVD or a piece of equipment to use at home. However, if you\u2019re like me and don\u2019t have a personal trainer living at home with you.<\/p>\n<p>So, this year instead of buying DVD\u2019s that probably won\u2019t even make it out of the plastic wrapping, or another piece of fad equipment for working out at home, which will probably only end up shoved under the bed or lost in the attic for years. I\u2019m thinking that if I want to make a change I need to join one of those fitness groups that have the personal trainers who are there to motivate, in some case shout at you until you move faster and work harder, which has to be better than going it alone. If I do get demotivated or bored, well at least I would be with a group of people who can help me get over that hurdle. Even if it is because of our mutual hatred of our instructor who keeps pushing us till we drop, the point is I won\u2019t be alone and will be more like likely to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>So, once again, if you are looking for such a group or are the <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\">evil sadist<\/span> instructor of a group looking for some space to use. Contact me and I will do my best to help you find what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/auea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2016\/12\/images-7.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-340\" src=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/auea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2016\/12\/images-7.jpeg\" alt=\"images (7)\" width=\"325\" height=\"182\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/auea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2016\/12\/images-9.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-342\" src=\"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/auea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2016\/12\/images-9.jpeg\" alt=\"images (9)\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas has for some time, been one of those holidays [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":344,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,27],"tags":[108,109,110,107],"class_list":{"0":"post-534","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lettings","8":"category-local-news","9":"tag-christmas","10":"tag-hall-hire","11":"tag-room-hire","12":"tag-venue-hire","13":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":536,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534\/revisions\/536"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.schoolsplus.co.uk\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
