Overview

Hi there!  For years i've shunned any kind of excercise stating many various excuses but 5 weeks ago i bit the bullet.  My first  time out 'running' was a shambles could barely walk or breathe let alone run!!!  Five weeks in and i'm loving it. Go out 3 times a week, early doors (5am!!!!!! ahhhh) just me and my music. Can jog/run for 25 mins now without stopping - i know hardly alot but i'm proud of me.  Going to keep increasing pace and would like to take part in a 5km run by end of year.  I love running in the rain (cools me down and hides the sweat -yuk) which is great cos we get loads in England. So if ever you see a fat girl running give her a big smile and blow her a kiss.

Lazy Bones

Havent posted anything for a while as have been a lazy ol girl of late.  Week before last went on a canal boating hol in Worcs, was great and did miles and miles of walking along the canal with the dog, not sure who was more worn out, me or dog.  Really enjoyed it, altho struggled a little cos i have a pathological fear of swans (evil evil evil things, shudder just writing bout them) and they seemed to be havin a swan convention along the canal we were on.  At one point my 10 year old son even had to come and rescue me as i stood rooted to the spot and shaking whilst one stood in front of me and the other was eyeing me up from the water .  

 Anyway enought bout them, since i came back from my hols have been extremley lazy and this has got to stop.  Am dragging out any excuse, too cold and too dark. Must get back into frame of mind as have nearly lost 3 stone and want to lose 4 stone by the time i go skiing in March next year (skiing is a whole different matter, i hate it with a passion, but family love it, so i have to show willing, which normally means spending first 2 days crying on the nursery slopes and being overtaken by 4 year olds, skive the 3rd day and spend the next 2 days really enjoying the nursery slopes but still being overtaken by 4 yr olds - think i should also add a pathological fear of skiing to list as well), plus i'd like to do another run in March (not sure bout distance, prob another 5k).

Off to fireworks this evening, i dont normally go as i'm the sort of person that that stray rogue firework normally ends up heading for and spends the rest of the eve in A&E. 

Hope you all enjoy the fireworks

PS Sizz, i'm with ya in spirit honey x

Cracking job on the weight loss, well done! Wish I could get my wieight back on track.

Regarding skiing, doesn't the cold and exercise justify extra particiaption in the apres-ski? Never fancied the first bit, but relaxing in front of a fire with something alcoholic does sound good!
