Fall TV is here!

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of TiVo. All opinions are 100% mine. The good thing about the Fall TV season kicking off is that I love all the shows that are returning, the bad thing about the Fall TV seasons kicking off is that I love all the shows that [...]

Things are going well :)

Friday, September 17th, 2010

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but a lot has changed in that time. I moved house on August 23rd and have gone from living with my parents to living with my boyfriend – I don’t think I really realised just how much they did for me at home until it stopped because [...]

No last run for me

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Well as you know I started and completed the couch to 5k running program – then twisted my knee and I have been benched ever since. It’s been two weeks today since I last attempted to run and I really wanted to give it another go today as I am moving out to a completely [...]

It’s all change

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

In four days time I am moving house, I am going from living with my parents at one end of the country to living with my fiance on the other end of the country. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous about what this is going to mean for my weight [...]

Ran my first 5k!

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I did it, yesterday I ran my first 5k…that’s 3 miles…that’s 30 minutes without stopping. I am patting myself on the back. I am going to do it twice more as that’s what the couch to 5k plan has you do before you can call yourself a graduate, but I am sure I will manage [...]

Still pushing along

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

It’s been a while since I last blogged, but don’t panic – I have not given up and gained all the weight back (in a few weeks? I should hope not) and am still on track with my weight loss. Though I have been enjoying the fudge my parents brought me back from their trip [...]

Elliptical replaced :)

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

After many complaints and much wrangling I managed to get my elliptical replaced, the new one arrived today and I can’t wait to get it up and used! I am going to build it tomorrow, this will be about the 4th one I have done now and I know from experience that building it is [...]

First C25K Fail

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Well yesterday I had my first failure at Couch to 5k, I have also somehow gained 4 pounds – although actually you’ll notice I have not ‘logged’ the gain or updated my stats because I don’t actually believe it to be accurate. I think I am just retaining water due to that time of the [...]

Reggae on my next podcast?

Friday, June 11th, 2010

One thing I have quickly realised is how hard it is to keep making these Couch to 5k podcasts, the first few are easy to find the tracks for but as you make more you see it’s harder and harder to find really good running songs that are the right sort of speed and are [...]

Couch to 5k Week 3

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I am still on with my couch to 5k plan, yesterday I completed W3D2. I still dislike going out and having to do it in ‘public’, but I have discovered wearing a cap is a life saver – whenever there’s a bunch of people or cars or anything I don’t like I can just hide [...]
