Monday 28th May 2012

hi all... I've been rather crap at updating you all on OF&H although i have actually been doing stuff...

  1. Walked/Ran 10miles last Sunday 20th May in 2hours and 40mins
  2. Have lost 8lbs in total at fat club (slimming world) in 5weeks
  3. Have signed up for my next run - a 10k on 24th June @ Polsden Lacey
  4. Was at the gym this evening - went straight after work
  5. Have done major cycling - last Wednesday i did nearly 20miles for work and for pleasure
  6. I now don't buy bread and my chocolate of choice now is a curly wurly
so i think I've made some major lifestyle changes!!!

Running 10miles this Sunday!

have had my final lesson at running school - brilliant. knees are fine, calfs/shins abit sore but i need to keep stretching them out. knees good because the stress of the run is now going all the way up my legs instead of slamming stop at my knees. how fab is that.

fat club - no weigh in tomorrow as its the relaunch of breakout but feel as if doing okay. also it looks like I'm half a stone lighter butt naked compared to fully clothed. good to know.

end of a lovely day.

10 days till i run 10miles...

the "slimmer of the week" from last week had to hand over her crown this week... i also managed to gain a whole one pound. 
sigh...
probs the wine, the cakes & the few days up in surrey also didn't help my cause.
but I'm back on track - need to be really, as every pound i lose in the next 10days is one less pound to lug up and down box hill!

one key change for this week... 
  • less tea with milk at work and back to taking in my Jasmin tea and tea pot.

12 days till i run 10miles!!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

no going back now - look what Sam at work sent out to all my No Limits colleagues!!!

As you may be aware Liz Carter has entered Denbies 10 Mile race and will be running in aid of No Limits. The run is due to take place on Sunday 20th May and will be a ten mile circular route following trails around the Mole Valley in the heart of the Surrey Hills. As you can see from the pictures below the route is best described as………..hilly! 

All the money raised will go directly to the charity and for anybody who would like to support Liz then please follow the link.

Thanks for all your support!

I'm feeling positive though... ran 4.5miles in 75mins this eve so reckon 10miles is very doable...fun!

Slimmer of the Week runs 10miles in 17 days time - eeeek!

well... I've failed to update my blog since last week and I've also failed to write up my food diary but you know what - not a problem because you're now reading the blog of the Upper Shirley Southampton 7.30pm Thursday night's slimming world's SLIMMER OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. There is now 4.5lbs less of me than there was 7 days ago. Not bad!

what's my secret?
well...

spending the w/e with a slimming world guru certainly helped and not drinking any alcohol plus i went to the gym and i've cycled abit too.
  • so hoorah and congratulations to me - SOTW.

got running school tomorrow - only been to the gym once since my last lesson and I haven't had a chance to run outside - this week has been quite busy... back to work after "the best A/L week ever" has been rather OH MY GOOD GOD. I'm really rather tired. but I'm feeling jolly chuffed with myself and I'm hoping that even though I'm at the pub tomorrow, a tea party Sat and up to sister's Sun/Mon, that I'll still lose a lb.

oh and i really must go for a few runs before Sunday 20th May.
