Without taking a break and in under 45 minutes – I never thought I would be able to say that a few months ago, never mind three years ago when I weighed almost twice as much as I do now. I ran my first four miler yesterday and I hope there will be many more [...]

So, the day after I completed the Couch to 5k Running plan – I twisted my knee. How’s that for bad luck? I am not even totally sure how it happened, I just lost my concentration for a few seconds as there were a group of guys being rowdy and had a little wobble – [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

….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 [...]

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 [...]
