Today

I am going to spinning and then body pump. I may be sick a little bit. I will certainly not be looking very attractive by the end!

Oh dear! x x x

What a weekend!

Hey

So now, I think that I was very brave indeed and went to Spinning on Friday night with Julia. Julia is EXTREMELY good at spinning. I am not- Went purple in the face and then I also nearly puked with the stress of it (after 5 mins) have never been so proud of myself for finishing and then getting home all by myself!

This remarkable bravery more than makes up for me being bedridden for most of Saturday and Sunday- Beloved found this deeply amusing indeed. I did not! Poor little me!

So yet another weekend off, but have got a fun exciting run tomorrow along the front as I have a night off from everything else! I shall keep you posted and will probably also put up some pics :(

Oooh and I spoke to Les Bourgs hospital and they use different units to the one Gran had which is for all the medications, and are £600. I think that that will be marvellous if I can raise enough cash to buy one of those. I will sort out a JustGiving page and link the link for starting to raise cash there! x x x

See my halo shine!

After my badness over the last few days, am sure all of my lovely fans would like to know that I managed 2 km on the cross trainer - and then hefted weights good oh for an hour at the body pump! Hurray!

And for added bonus. I walked to work this morning in a sporty 20 mins! In ridiculous shoes!

Hurray!

Highly enchanted by new leggings. Was supposed to be going for a run along the coast this evening for Amy's birthday treat! But I have power plate instruction instead. Apparently is very difficult workout! Looks funny to me, but super duper joy! Joy! Lovely endorphins rushing to my little brain and body completely covered in delicious tight clothes and shiny trainers and I have a hair band! Positive thoughts about my ever decreasing tummy and according to the scales at Beau Sejour, I have lost a stone! (Have NOT lost all that weight, but nice for the scales to say so!

Any way, you will be calling me rabbit so you can sing run rabbit run! Or can sing "Run Flanny, Run Flanny, Run, Run Run
Here comes the sun to shine on your big fat tum
Do the runnings and you will be v. thin
So run flanny run flanny run! Run! Run!"

Confession

I did not go to yoga Monday.

I almost cried to get out of running yesterday.

Today I ate the most massive brownie in the world that Amy bought because I asked for a massive cake! And then I threw a hissy fit because I hate taking on other people's rubbishy work and ate a Toastie!

I am going to the healthy gym with the Julia (It's Wednesday and I have new Karrimor equipment! Loving Sports Direct!)

The weekend

I was very cool and went to the gym to go to Body pump - kgs are not the same as lbs! Eek! Poor little Flan indeed :) Had to have very very hot bath with much Radox in it to relax the poor muscles. On the other hand, now have arms like Madonna (muscly and eech!)

Must confess that have done very little indeed over the weekend as very busy and couldn't manage to get up on Saturday morning before I went to the hairdressers for permanent blow dry. I can't get my hair wet so did not want to be a sweaty betty and have minging hair for work! Quelle Horreur!

I am off to yoga with my beloved this evening so that will be great stretchiness. Julia is getting us to go for a run tomorrow straight after work up to up north! Ooh the excitement!

And I have decided that I must also begin running to the gym. Else there's not much point in going?

Anyway, will keep you updated.

Love

Friday Morning

Went to healthy gym yesterday, and ran for one song on iPod at 7.5k p/h and then power walked like a scary one at 6k p/h for the next song. After 5k gave up as was not looking v glam. Also realise that I get bored out of my mind by the monotony of the treadmill. Spoke to the lovely Charlene at Beau Sejour who was very good and said we do not need to go on treadmill, but road! So we can use the healthy gym for cross training (not just on cross trainer) but also doing healthy push bikes and e-trainer and rowing machine (which is my absolute favourite for burning the calories!) also doing weights and all that malarkey.

So just waiting to see the lovely marathon training man who will set me a plan of action and Julia and I will be running along the front goodo! - Is well lit and a good path!

Anyway going to body pump tonight- Yes, Friday night in the healthy gym, what have I become? Will have to get an early session in tomorrow morning before hairdressers too! Ah the joy of the gymming!

Anyway targets for next week are: Running for 6km at Gym, 4 miles on the road, at least one yoga session, try and get in for some classes. Also to master using our buzzer lock at the office, which is pressing 2 buttons. I can't seem to manage it. Though it does mean I am up and down the stairs repeatedly every day which is v. v. toning for my legs!

I have also gone through copious amounts of v. expensive moisturising creams. I dislike lotions but is there cheap body cream? I have gone through a pot of body shop already this week and quite a lot of Clarins body oil and cannot afford that in the long term, any ideas gratefully received! Or is there another way? Am v keen to have the body beyootiful indeed!

Anyway, am sure everything will be wonderful indeed. Might get a running session in at the gym before body pump to really work out everything and ensure a very slimline fat burning fitness freakishness that will whizz past like a dervish.

More updates tomorrow. Also will have good hair! Will post as many pics as possible.

Love

Thursday Morning

Well went to the faraway bus terminus as my bus pass is broken! So walked up from there and we walked to the cinema as well last night. Only to Candie Gardens, but all in all walked about 3 miles yesterday (v.good!)

Julia and I are off to the healthy gym this evening to race for 5 miles. (May do in spurts!) I am also going to put in for a personal assessor so that I can be trained to be strong healthy marathon runner! Yay the marathon! How exciting, and a few short weeks away!

I have given up the Karate as I do not want to be a trained killer, I want to be a grinning loon of a marathon runner and be very athletically bodied. However do not want to look like a freakish lady body builder, so very much keeping up with yoga and it's chums- body balance and I might do a couple of yoga dvds in front of the fire like a cat. Easpecially horrific things like the boat. Looks easy peasy pudding and pie but is secretly most painful thing I can do - and practice doing the crow. All good for long lean muscle like a ballerina :)

Anyway, food update - ate lots at dinner last night which was naughty but very very delicious indeed! Had brie, belly pork and sticky toffee pudding! Eeek, but today I had a SKINNY latte with orangle blossom shot and it is my new favourite! Hurray!

I have also drunk many many glasses of water and been alternating my coffees with fruity tea and had no junk all day long! Hurray!

Will sort something equally delicious and healthy for dinner and chance the walk into work on the morrow.

Will try to take pics of our healthy selves for this so you can all see us shrink before your very eyes all the way til August (and I've been informed about another 1/2 marathon for November :)
