141 bits from me

I know I've been slack lately.

Had some issues at home, they aren't sorted yet, not by a long shot, but I figure I need to take a bit more care of me for now so its time for an update.

Weights hovering around the same, which is good considering I've drunk extra wine in this stressful period!

I had negeklected the treadmill for 2 weeks too and the gym due ot cick kids.

but today i hopped on and am going to start running!

I did 2 minutes then 3 lots of 90 seconds over a 20 minute period, whilst walking in between.

going to aim to do that a few times a week and try walk on it the other days, getting out for walks is abit harder at the moment.

140 bits from me

ok I am a slacker!

I have been excercising this week, I just havent tracked it, so form memory!
I did 2 gym workouts of 1 hour each, did 2 walks of 45 minutes each, I think thats it this week, having the long weekend meant less excercise.

I am going to start running on my treadmill this week though, going to attempt the couch - 5 kms.

Also other big news is I am not going to Weight Watchers anymore.

You see I've been helping out at the meetings for ages now and I knew a month or two ago that I had lost my enthusiam for it all. I LOVE weight atchers, it really is the BEST way to lose weight and I highly recommend it to anyone :) I will be following it myself to finally get to goal, I just wont be going to meetings anymore.
I had been fretting about telling my ww leader (who btw is a lovely lovely lady :)) that I wanted to use the time to go to the gym instead as I think it would help my weght loss more, plus I am busy wiht work kids etc so thats a good solid 2 hour block each week, heck i could do a class and some gym work in that time! anyway my eader pulled me aside to mention how I hadnt been pulling my weight staffwise lately, in a very friendly nice way, and I knew she was right, so in fact it worked out well for her and me, she didnt feel bad (she wasnt asking me to leave either, it just gave me the opening I wanted to have the guts to say I'd rather be in the gym)
I hadnt weighed at the meeting in ages anyway, I was too afraid too :)

OK enough rambling about that, you get the point :)

So here i am, me on my won, going to go for it !
