    I need a new routine. My usual routine is to workout when I get home from work. Lately I’ve been leaning toward getting up earlier and working out then. This would save me time in the evenings and give me some peace of mind that I have already done something at least! I’d like to…

    The “Great British Summer” is upon us and it’s brought rain. I, however, love the rain! I finally ran last night after weeks of not doing it. I only did 2 5 minute runs but I felt better for doing that little bit! I really need to get back into my old routine, the weekend…

    My weight loss journey is teaching me more about myself and life than I ever thought possible. In all the years that I’ve struggled with my weight I always knew it was a matter of will power and determination, basically getting off your ass and exercising instead of sitting around doing nothing and ensuring you…

    My next weigh in is on Wednesday. I am a bit nervous about this one as it’s the first one after we established I had hit a plateau. I feel like if I don’t have results this time that I’m not doing enough. Truth be told, I know I haven’t done enough! But I still…

    Some woman tried to kill me on the way to work this morning. No joke! I don’t understand why people think just because they are in a car they can do what they want and endanger others. Sigh. I’m still angry about it, but not shaken up really anymore. She’ll get what’s coming to her!…

    I ran again last night for 20 minutes, with a few tiny breaks because I just couldn’t go on at some points! But I did it and that’s what matters. Tonight is exercise ball and boxing, which I’m very much looking forward to. Still no new dvds, I hope they arrive soon! I have to…

    I’ve hurt my knee! Last night during my workout (I think it was the static lunges, they always bother my knees) I must have done something to it. Then I ran. Now it bloody hurts. It did this last year, after Week 3 and so I rested for a bit and never started again. I’m…
