So I have found a new running buddy :-) annie from work is running the Bath race for life and has been training and today I joined her for a lovely 5k. Bearing in mind I havnt ran for a few weeks I was really pleased.
Im going to kick my butt back into gear for sure with this girls help :-)
Dinner and a game of skittles with friends then a nice lie in before another run tomorrow :-)
So today I had the realisation that I had fallen off the wagon well and truly. I havnt quite reached the 16stone mark again but I was nearing it.
So today I am getting the wheels put back on my wagon and going for it.
Sat here on my night shift eating grapes strawberries and yoghurt and loving it :-) after these sets of nights im going to get my butt out running and going back to the gym.
Heres to summer slimming
So after the many night shifts and long weekend away for my mums birthday :-)
We went to london for the weekend and I had a lovely weekend of food ice cream sweeties lion king on stage and lots and lots of walking. Seeing the sights with my mum was amazing and I want to wish her a very happy birthday.
Whilst away I decided to set myself a goal. I will be back running 10k by september before I go on holiday. So that involves lots more running.
It feels a long way off at the moment as its been so long since I ran anywhere other than the treadmill. I havnt really got back into running since december before my operation. So yesterday and today I have been out. I had to walk but I dont care. I started off yesterday not even being able to make it 1 mile. I think I was being cautious about my pains. Whereas today I knew I didnt get pains yesterday so I could push it a little more. I got to the one mile mark in 11:09mins which is really good for me. Then I walked a while. Im taking a slightly different tactic to increasing my distance at the moment so we shall see how u get on. I will be running the mile and seeing how far I get and try and beat that the next time even if only by a few metres.
Tomorrow will be a gym day. I will try and run on the treadmill quicker than I do on the roads. I feel this will help increase my pace when on the roads.
Im going to get fit for holiday!!!!
For now bloggers
So last week .I woke up with awful pain in my stomach . I ended up in hospital querying whether I needed my appendix out. Later I was allowed to go home and rest. No strenous exercise incase id torn a muscle in my stomach.
So no more pain touch wood.
Speaking of wood. My friend is getting married tomorrow and will no longer be a miss wood but a mrs Wilkinson. Im looking forward to a day with friends and love :-)
Update on the house. We have signed our half of the contracts and are now waiting for a move date hopefully we will complate by the end of the month.
Lots of exciting things to come. So come on weight shift it!!!
So has many of you know I was trying to diet using the cambridge weight plan. Its a shake based low carb diet. It worked well for a while and I lost over 1 stone approching the 2 stone border.
Though one thing or another led to me putting half of that back on which I am not proud of at all.
So now im having a change of tactic. I am just going to eat all in moderation clean food but with a low carb background.
So here is a lovely picture of my gorgeous tasting lunch and hoping I stick to ot this time x
So normally im the kind of person that avoids the gym at the busy times. Im not the work out in front of everybody person.
So today was a remotely different day.
I got up this morning to go toa body combat class. With an instructor and other people all doing the same thing :-)
I loved it. The workout challenged me and I could really feel my heart rate rising right from the start. Plus I had my HRM on so I could see that it was really doing something.
I really enjoyed myself and was disappointed it was over and that I couldn't do it again because my shifts dont work out right for me to go.
What this day has shown me is that I CAN do it and I will.
Now for me its off to work my saturday late shift at the hospital with tense aching muscles :-) feel the burn!!!!
So ive done day one and two but due to shift work I can only do it when on a late shift. Today I was working an early and hoping once it gets cooler this evening ill get out for a nice long walk.
Whilst living with the in laws I feel they judge me if I do exercise so I always get discouraged from doing so but I feel I need to kick myself in the butt and get on with it!!!
For now
