Confessions from the Look Better Naked Camp

Well… week two has been and gone and week two was confession time. So, here goes… pizza (two slices), more then 100mls of wine, a crème egg, corn fritters, a marshmallow egg and some mud cake. The culprit is all of us. And the punishment was bad: stair runs. Up the stairs and back down them again each carrying 10 kgs of weight. If that doesn’t motivate us to be good, what will?! Your support! So help motivate us by sponsoring us - and in return, we’ll buy you wine; more than 100mls, of course!

One week down

Well we survived week one. There were no tears, just a lot of sweat and we’re all feeling muscles we didn’t know we had. With the office cleared of anything that looks or smells remotely like yummy food, life at the pr shop is all about celery sticks and protein shakes. A few of us enthusiastically made silly pre-boot camp arrangements and went to the Devonport Food and Wine Festival, but couldn’t eat or drink anything at all, so you can imagine how much fun it was. Regardless we’re fired-up for another week of physical punishment with only 35 more sleeps till the challenge winner is announced. This week is confession time. Stay tuned.

What’s the skinny at the pr shop?

We're swapping cash for kilos - that's what!

Today the pr shop girls embarked on a 6-week boot-camp in the name of beauty and charity. The aptly named "Look Better Naked" programme is courtesy of Les Mills and combines an intense training programme with a strict, but incredibly healthy diet (yes, there will be carbs), in a bid to help shed those extra kilos gained during the Summer hols.

With a combined weight-loss target of at least 15kgs, we know that we've got some hard yards ahead of us, and to make it more interesting (and motivating), we're looking for sponsorship to swap our kilos for cash, which will be donated to Oxfam (www.oxfam.org.nz).

To make a donation, please let us know how much you'd like to sponsor us per kilo lost and we'll be in touch at the end of March to arrange payment. Of course there's absolutely no obligation to sponsor - we'd be just as happy to receive your support in the form of motivational phone calls, emails and txts, but please, save your dinner and drinks invitations until the end of March!
