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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Well as predicated, the weigh in did not go great…I had gained a pound or two…I am now back at 10.11 — which sucks because I now have to lose 1 lb to get back down to the 5 stone lost in total milestone – doh. The migraine continued for a few more days, so [...]

I had finally decided that it was time for me to brave the outside this year, and start jogging and walking again. The weather had started to get better, spring had sprung and winter was gone — so I went out and treated myself to new walking boots and a few hoodies in preparation. I [...]

Oooh look at that, I changed my main goal in the sidebar from 10 stone…as it has been since I started this journey, to 9.13 – yes it’s only a 1lb change, but I was thinking about it the other day and realised…why stop at 10 stone? That was my initial goal because I wanted [...]

One thing that I have to do before I go away on holiday at the start of next week, is get 2 presents sorted…one for my dad for Father’s day and one for my brother’s 30th birthday – both of which happen while I am away. I have mentioned before I am sure that I [...]

As suspected, no loss this last week…but that’s OK because as mentioned I did only manage to work out twice. Fingers crossed I can get back on track and back to losing next week…so close to that goal of 12 stone, soooo close. I go away on vacation on June 5th, my realistic goal for [...]

Here’s a tip I picked up several months ago that has been invaluable to me – an elliptical goes two ways, forwards and backwards. You are probably thinking ‘Duh’ at me right now, but think about it…when you go backwards instead of forwards you are working your muscles in different ways, and you are even [...]

You know, as well as being conscious of what I am eating..I am also conscious of what I am eating it out of. When you spend your days looking at packaging, reading it, studying it…you also start to notice other things…and I am pleased to see more and more packaging is now using recyclable materials [...]
