Starting afresh!!

I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in over a week.  Let me confess to you why!  I was sooo bad last week - I ate for Scotland.  I ate too much of everything.  Chocolate, biscuits, candy, pasta.  And I felt like total shit all of last week because of it.  And last Wednesday night, in the pouring rain after work, I discovered I had a flat tyre.  It took over 3 hours for me to get home and I just couldn't cope.  It totally stressed me out for no reason - life happens!  I can't keep turning to food when I feel down, upset, happy, sad, fed up, bored!  I need to find constructive ways to deal with this or I am never going to lose this weight.

With that being said, this week has started afresh!  I feel positive again!  I went for an invigorating two mile walk with Molly in the cold rain on Sunday.  And today I finally went to a Body Pump class!!  It was so good!  There were only about 5 other girls there so it was a good class for my first class!  I can't describe how good I felt when I left that gym.  I felt strong and happy and in such a good mood!  Why can't I remember those feelings for when I feel I can't be bothered?!  Well now I will, since I am writing them here!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  My lovely fiance surprised me with new Nike+ running shoes!  They are pink, gorgeous and so, so comfortable!  My other running shoes are dead to me! lol

I will post pics when I can find my battery charger for my camera!  It has been missing since our trip to Orlando.........but I know I didn't leave it behind.

I feel even better now for blogging and getting that off my chest.  Must remember blogging is good for the soul......

My Goals for the upcoming week!

Wow, I am still sore from my workout on Friday!  I finished up work, headed to the gym and did my Couch to 5k.  I must say I am really enjoying doing it this time around.  I actually look forward to going to the gym, getting sweaty and I feel amaze-balls afterwards! lol  After I did my run - I did some weights.  I focussed on chest and triceps and I must have been doing something right because I can still feel the "good" soreness in the chesticular area today!

On Saturday morning I hit up the gym again and did another day of Couch to 5k.  I actually skipped Week 2 and I started Week 3 on the Friday, and it feels easy!  I know I can run longer than 3 mins at a time, which I why I went straight on to week 3.  This is what I did -

Treadmill - 30 mins - 5mins warm up. Then 1.5 mins running.  1.5mins walking, 3 mins running, 3 mins walking - REPEAT.  7 mins cool down.


Cross Trainer - Interval Hill Workout - Level 14 -   13 Mins

All in all I burned a whopping 450 calories in this workout!  Bad ass!!  Yeah!

This coming week I am going to aim to do the following:  

Monday   - Spin Class
Tuesday  -  Couch to 5K
Wednesday - Body Pump
Thursday - WW Meeting!
Friday - Maybe Body Combat before work - otherwise Couch to 5k after work!
Saturday - ???  Haven't decided yet! (Depends on what happens on Friday!)


My mini goals for this week are:

Aim for at least 1.5litres of water each day.
Track, track, track all of my food.
Take 30 mins to tidy/clean one room each night.
Get to bed earlier - I struggle with this!!
Less sugary snacks.
At least 5 servings of fruit/veg each day.


My mini weight loss goal for this week is 2 pounds!!  I think if I put my mind into my tracking and eating less sugary snacks and upping my exercise I can do it!

Hope you all enjoy the Super Bowl if that's your thang!! My other half is recording it!  =)

Here's to a great week!!! =)  And this was too cute to resist!

Weigh In Results - Thursday 27 Jan 2011 and Couch to 5k update

Hey guys!  I have been meaning to blog but kept getting caught up in reading everyone else's updates ;)

I weighed in at WW last Thursday.  I lost 3.5lbs!!  I was ecstatic!  I thought I was heading for a 2lb loss but was delightfully surprised that it was almost double.

I finished my first week of Couch to 5k on Sunday afternoon!  I felt great doing this workout again.  I ran faster and kept my incline at 2%.  I did slow down on my walking bits, as I read on someones blog (I can't remember whose it was!) that if it is feeling too much to walk a bit slower.  So I did!  Which helped me run faster - yay!

I was going to start Week 2 today, but work got in the way and I had to work late.  Blah!  I am hoping to go on Thursday and get it started!

My eating the last couple of days has been baad.  I have been eating far too many sweet things, cakey things and chocolate cookies!  BAD, BAD, BAD!!  Why do I feel I need to eat this crap??  I don't know why but I really need to figure this out.  Or I'll just keep losing and gaining the same 5lbs over and over again!

Anyway, I don't really have much else going on just now - going to walk Molly and try and get to bed earlier tonight!  My goals I set last week haven't really been met............I need to start focussing on me and taking care of myself.

Oh, and a big hello to my new followers!  Welcome!
