My Face has peeled of

I have been writing about my face peel so I will carry on! I'm now on Day 5 and its looking, like a million times better, its still very scaly but most of the scabs have dropped of - I know horrendous - but the quest for beauty is not easy my friends, especially when you are a sweaty aerobics teacher with acne scars and sun damaged skin.

Monday was still pretty bad and I had to face my local classes in David Lloyd Derby. So, I ran through the gym with my LA Lakers cap pulled down low and bounced into the studio. Of course everyone is like WTF? So, I came clean there - its been a talking point this week. I cant tell you how many people have said " I'd really like to have one"

I am getting mega excited now though, as the pink skin underneath is just so smooth without any wrinkles, or holes, or open pores or blackheads its so fresh. I feel really positive about it all although it has been a massive ordeal.

I taught my usual Step, Body Con and Aqua this morning with scabby face when Jo McElderry of X Factor and the dancers popped up in my Body Con class. They are touring and are in Nottingham tonight.

Jo stood right at the front and was the sweetest, cutesy boy ever and he trained so hard he did all the skipping, power squats, multi planer lunges and functional dumbbell work and at the end asked me to come on tour with him to keep him in shape...ahhh bless......All my ladies rushed up at the end to get pictures and autographs it was a great day but god knows what he thought of my bloomin face!

Everyone is messaging me to get all the peel photos up as Ive taken a picture every day. I want to wait until I'm all healed so you can see everything, should be in a couple more days - fingers crossed.

As I'm on the Blackpool count down now for IFS I really needed a shake up with my diet and my own training. I train myself most day but treadmill cardio bores me to tears BUT I LOVE weight training so I went to see my friend PT James Sutton, a fantastic PT who work out of LA Fitness in Derby. James did the Charles Poloquin Bio Signature measurements on me and I came out at 15.5 % Body fat with fat stores round my middle and legs, Ive got high stress levels and eating far to much sugar giving me insulin spikes then major crashes.

Up shot is - back to steak for breakfast, chicken and veg for lunch and fish and salad for tea plus no coffee and whey protein powder after training. I'm on Day 2 today and feel great. I need to try and get8 hours sleep though and James thinks I'm over training massivley so hes devised a wicked new split training program that I'll write up tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Bye for now Rachel xxx
