| SPUDDS GYM |
Guess who survived her first SPUDDS experience?!!! Yeh not me... but the 3 other ladies in the class absolutely killed it!! haha i kid i kid..... I DID IT!!! I made it through the class and most importantly i made it through without any tears or any incidences of throwing up! #winning
(there may or may not have been a lot of dry heaving and whinging - but that is beside the point)
Moving along.
Sadly my "Glistening" days are behind me. After a warm up of some pretty radical Jersey Shore style "fist pumping" with weights (again - i may or may not have been the only one "fist pumping") I was thrown into my very own version of hell. A small hot room in the gym that felt like it was 100 degrees and I was set to work on a Cross Trainer....cut to me - 30 seconds in - SWEATING! ewwy.
Im proud I managed to make my way around all 22 stations of pain without cheating! As a side note: you actually can't escape the watchful eye of the raging lunatic in the ring anyway - Mark is like a jungle cat and just when you start to pump the breaks he pounces and scares the absolute hell out of you! True story.
(wearing fluro orange probably didn't help my cause either - amateur)
My biggest achievments from the session were that i didn't give up, cry or throw up haha and i got taught how to box! Ive never boxed before and im going to be straight with you - i felt like an absolute weapon in the ring hurling punches at Big Spudd. And the best bit? I can only get better! wooo!
POST SESSION WRAP UP
* Ive actually never felt this kind of all over body pain in my entire life
* My toosh, calves and thighs feel like they have been shot (but bring on the Box Gap/Juicy Kard-ass-hian i say)
* I met some great people and had an absolute ball
* Im hooked and will be heading to the torture chamber every Tuesday now
* Fist Pumping with weights is under rated and total hilarious fun
Finally
* King Carroll is scarier and tougher than Queen Carroll. Easily.

A new challenge awaits....
All you gym junkies out there.... I salute you.... I do..... but do I envy you? Ohhhhhh God No! (I might envy your cute outfits but i don’t envy your work ethic)
I’m actually not ashamed to say it but I’m one of those who prefer to “Glisten” instead of sweat. But “Glistening” doesn’t get you “Seabird Bikini Body” ready. No, sadly it does not!
Gym’s – actually exercise in general – really isn’t my favourite thing to do at all! I’ve never really caught the bug so to say and so I’ve been happily going through life thinking that training with Manly, doing the occasional “beach sand shuffle” along Manly Beach (while picking up Yoghurt Land as a reward), and “ab crunching” on my bedroom floor is enough. Well the harsh reality for me is that it isn’t and tonight I’m about to bite the bullet and throw myself into the deep end in a BIG WAY.
Tonight i enter the torture chamber. Tonight this little Seabird I fear is going to have to - I dare say - SWEAT! Tonight I take my first session at SPUDD’s Gym under the instruction of former NRL star and now celebrity trainer – Mark “Spudd” Carroll!
So i have to blog about it. So i am held accountable and i have to commit to showing up! Haha! Eeeeekkk.... even though i consider those Crazy Carroll’s like family I know I’m not going to get an easy ride and I’m about to be pushed and worked to my absolute limits.
The real question will be: who is tougher? - King Carroll Mark or Queen Carroll Monique?!
I will let you know tomorrow. If I can type that is.

Seabirds Fluff & Puff Party....
Over the weekend the Manly Seabirds spent the entire Saturday and Sunday in "Cheerleading Mode". Which is just how we like it. Saturday we spent the day being fitted for our Uniforms and various other sparkly and feathery creations we will be wearing during the season ahead. It was a moment for all Rookie Training Camp Seabirds to really treasure. It was the first time they got to try on the Manly Seabirds Uniform and the very first time they got to feel what all Veteran girls do when we shimmy into that delicious Maroon and White number during each Football Season - Pride, Excitement, Passion and a mixture of various other dynamite and glittery feelings.
(cue the white doves)
So on Sunday we came together again for our annual “Fluff and Puff” party at Carroll Ranch. This has been an annual event for the Manly Seabirds for years now and it is one of the most helpful learning tools for all Seabirds new and old to prepare themselves for the upcoming season.
It is a fabulous day full of Makeup and Hair tutorials filled with tips and tricks shared between one another to ensure that each and every time we are representing the Manly Sea Eagles Brand we are presenting ourselves in the most lady like and most professional way possible. We were under the guidance of ex Manly Seabird Sarah Pascoe who cheerlead at Manly for 10 seasons and who is and was the queen of Hair and Makeup during her time with our Manly Family. Girlfriend is not only the bee’s knee’s at all things Seabird presentation wise but she is also the bee’s knee’s at being just an all round incredible human! Yes, yes she is!
Monique Carroll yet again went above and beyond to set the scene for the day in the most spectacular way possible with so many gorgeous special touches everywhere you looked. The most adorable and surprising moment of the day was a hidden gift we all received and had to open together at the end of the party..... A Fortune Cookie.
Inside this little treat was the most beautiful surprise of all – a unique little message for each girl letting them know they had now officially made the team and were now a member of the 2014 Manly Seabird Squad!
Can you imagine the squeal factor??!! www.highpitch.com
It was the first moment that our 7 new honey bears - Ainsley, Kirsty, Tiana, Lauren, Maddie, Melissa and Cheri - could really celebrate and relax knowing that all their hard work in training camp had paid off and they were now officially Manly Seabirds.
Welcome to the Sisterhood Girlfriends!!
