Winter Walking

Monday, December 7th, 2009

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 [...]

Been out of action

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

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 [...]

A first

Monday, September 28th, 2009

So yesterday was a first for me, after over 2 years of this healthy lifestyle of mine I actually worked out in public. I’ve probably spent 100s of hours working out of the last 2 years, but always alone and in my own home, so this was a major deal for me. I went for [...]

Another Migraine!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

After getting passed my last migraine, I managed two days of exercise before I got another one. Oh dear. I am not the sort of person who runs to the doctor every time I sneeze but I think I may have to make an appointment about this, I am sure it’s not normal to be [...]

30 Day EA Sports Challenge update

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

So, yeah. With 15 out of the 20 workouts complete and only a few days to go I got a migraine and had to miss a few days, when I finally went to play it again a few nights ago I was informed that I now did not have enough time left to complete the [...]

Oh no, migraine

Friday, July 10th, 2009

There are many things I hate about migraines, if you have ever had one you’ll know exactly what I mean. The not being able to see, the pain, the nauseousness, the dizziness etc. But one of the worst things is that it pretty much means I won’t be doing any exercise for quite some time [...]

30 Day Challenge Update

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

So, I am now 15 days and 10 workouts into my 30 day challenge on EA Sports Active, and I am enjoying it. It’s a lot more fun than Wii Fit for sure and I like that you do something different every day – last night it had me doing squats that you have to [...]

My 30 Day Challenge

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

So with the treadmill having gone back and the weight not shifting through my usual methods at the moment — I went out and got EA Sports Active, I had heard a lot of good things about it and people were saying it was a lot better for getting a serious workout than Wii Fit, [...]

Treadmill, been and gone!

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I had a treadmill at home, it was fun, but now it’s gone…aww. See my Mum ordered it, it was a Reebok I Run so really good quality – but she was going away on holiday so we had it delivered to our house and I used it for a week while they were gone. [...]

Poorly :(

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Well this week has been a bit of a bust exercise wise, I had planned to really go for it this week — I was going to do at least 60 minutes elliptical each day and then an hour on the new Wii Fit, aiming to burning at least 800 calories per day. However I [...]
