Training, Training, Training.........If I say it enough I might start doing it.

Don't want to tempt fate, but I think we are entering spring!

The last 3 days have been great, going out in the morning dressed like it is still winter as the mist has been so bad but in later in the morning the weather has been breaking away to lovely sunshine.

With this weather I know that I should be walking and training for the Moonwalk in June, but I can't be bothered. I would rather sit in the sunshine enjoying a nice glass of vino and people watching. However that is not good for the waistline so I end up just sitting in the sunshine. Really should start walking though. It is only something ridiculous like 13 weeks until the moonwalk and 26 miles is a long way to walk.

Help!

Enjoy the sunshine, the weekend is going to be great.

Lazy Posting...

So, there has been a couple of days since I last posted a blog and there is no good reason for it. I have been out working the same as normal, and haven't ventured outside of the house since last Saturday for exercise.
I have however finally signed up for the moonwalk. I waited until David was paid on Tuesday then signed up for the full 26.2 miles. I didn't realise but you have to give your T-Shirt size and bra size there and then. How do I know what bra size I will be then. The weight loss is definately going to affect my size, well they cant stay this big when I am losing so much weight but I don't know by how much. I have an idea as to what clothes size I should be by then so ordering my T-Shirt wasn't as difficult but the bra - cant they ask you nearer the time, it isn't as if they send it all out to you at the end of the month. Only the paperwork is getting sent out then.

Enjoy Friday, last day of work for this week

Still Ouch!

So, after my mammoth weight loss and my long, so long walk yesterday I am feeling just a little weak, but excited. My legs are still burning, and aching from yesterday and that 5 mile walk but I feel just a little bit more healthy for it. I am looking forward to going out for another walk, as long as it is not in the next 24 hours. David and I are planning to do a little hillwalking during the week. Well, I say hill walking, there is a mound at the back of my mum's house called Dechmont Law that we are going to walk to, up and back again taking the dog with us.

So, how do I beat that weight loss from last week? That was a mammoth (I know repeated but it really is a great adjective) amount of weight to lose in one week. I was so shocked, stunned but not gobsmacked (would never happen). I have actually lost 18lbs in 2 weeks - OMG!

Just contemplating another hot bath when I get in from work.
Enjoy what's left of Sunday Night.

I Ache!

So, I am just back from a 5 mile walk with David and my in-laws -to-be. Me and my mother-in-law-to-be are walking the moonwalk together so we decided to start training early, giving us enough time to get into shape. We took 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the walk, which wasn't too bad but I am sure I would have been alot slower if I wasn't being dragged along by Toby, my dog, that I took along as well.
Well, that's it for me just now, going for a radox bath, and early to bed I think.

Night night

Day 12 - so far, so good

So, today is another good day. God, that's 2 in a row. Go me!
Lighterlife is working for me. I think I am now in ketosis (fat burning) as I don't feel hungry, and I am drinking constantly. I am aiming for a good weight loss this week, even going to be moving a bed from my mum's house to mine so that I can get a bit of exercise into this week as well.

In addition to the weight loss goals, I have set myself another goal. I have signed up for the Edinburgh Moonwalk in June. I feel that by this time my fitness and everything will be much better and it also gives me a reason (well another) to go to the gym and start with training. Walking 26.2 miles is going to be tough, and I am going to have to start training soon, which will boost my weight loss and hopefully lessen the time that I will have to be in complete abstinence from food.

As well as all that, I have an announcement to make. I have finally finished making all of the day wedding invitations. I still have to put the wording inside, but the actual construction, and cutting of all the fiddly bits is all finished. The evening invitations are still to be started and they will probably get done over the next couple of weeks. We are starting to tick lots of things off the to-do list which is great, but at the same time it brings it all home that the wedding is getting ever closer (okay, I know it is still ages away, I am not completely delusional).

Enjoy your day.
