….where are you hiding recently? I have been talking about starting the Couch to 5k running plan for around two months now – I’ve bought the running tights, I got running shoes for my birthday, I have a stack of tshirts ready for action, I’ve downloaded the first few weeks of podcasts. Yet every night [...]

I decided to have a naughty week last week while I was away visiting family – there’s no better time to do it because obviously it’s harder to stick to the diet and work out routine when you are out of your comfort zone and I actually do think it’s healthy to ease off now [...]

Oh dear, I have lost track of when it was I last worked out now – I have been sick for almost two weeks and to top it off I have not been sleeping the last few days because of our noisy neighbours. I really don’t know when they sleep, they party until 5am and [...]

Well, I am afraid it has not been a very productive week work out wise. I was really busy on Monday and Tuesday and usually I’d work out at least a little bit any way, but I just felt like I had been hit by a ton of bricks – despite getting caught up on [...]

So I stick with my Crazy Low Calorie diet last week, I was consuming anything from 700 – 1200 per day and burning anthing from 400 – 700 through exercise. I actually lost 2lbs. This makes me very happy as I have not lost any wieght no matter what I have tried recently – however [...]

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 [...]

With Christmas just around the corner is now really the best time for both my heart rate monitor and my elliptical to break down? Argh. In the last few years since I have been on this journey I have always been able to get through Christmas quite easily by working out extra hard in the [...]

Remember how I posted that I had just started using weights and would report back? Well, I don’t really have anything to report back as unfortunately I used them three nights and then got sick – blasted migraine again! I really should go to the doctors about them. I went before when I first started [...]

My fiance went on his first 8 mile walk a few weeks ago and is trying to convince me that we should start walking together. I’ll be honest I have always hated walking – generally I just want to get from A to B as fast as is possible and walking is just the slowest [...]

So, it’s been a few weeks since I posted a new entry here – why? Same reason as usual, I have been sick again. Last week I was out of action with a migraine, it was a pretty miserable one too and lasted about 5 days. I spent the whole time pretty much in bed [...]
