My Hamstrings Will Thank Me… One Day
Last night I finally started working out in earnest again after recovering from The Stupid Flu. To kick things off I did a Jillian Michaels DVD, Burn Fat Boost Your Metabolism. It’s probably my favourite of her workouts. I made it through the whole thing, which is a great thing considering I haven’t worked out…

Weigh In
Weight: 209lbs Total loss: 28lbs Goal weight: 125lbs Workouts: EA Active for the Wii on Monday. My goal weight from my doctor is 132lbs, but I’m using 125 because that puts me in the middle of the range for my height. My only note about this weigh in is that it was done in the…

Life After The Flu
I’m finally totally back at work now. I feel like my year is only just starting this week, what with being on holiday and then being sick. Because I was so sick for so long I’m taking some advice I found about working out post-sickness and only doing every other day and no high intensity…

Holiday ETA: 26 Days
Not long now before we head back to the States. I’m getting more excited as it gets closer but still feel overwhelmed by everything that should happen between now and then. At least I can now update my list from before: I will get up at 6am on weekdays. (Started doing this this week!) I…

A New Challenge
OK. As I mentioned yesterday I made a decision. I decided I was going to enter a race for next year. I started searching for a suitable race to enter, a 10k most likely. Then I found the Bath Half Marathon. Then I decided I would run it. It takes place on Sunday March 7,…

1 Week On
I have started the 10K program and did Week 1 Day 2 this morning. I thought about jumping a few weeks ahead but decided it would be safest to start from the beginning and work up to the longer times in the later weeks. I have put all the runs in my diary and with…
