All's Fine on the Western Front

So far so good. The plan is working well. No snacking and complete food control! Looks like I have lost the weight gained on my course and a bit too I think so happy. I'm even having those TW moments of "oh that's real hunger!" which is excellent!

This week I have joined the gym, had a CV and weights induction and then been to the gym alone (whilst Gnome had his swimming lesson). I hope to get my PT session next week.

This weekend I have been cleaning the hall walls and painting. 5-6hrs of cleaning yesterday and 3-4hrs painting today is a great workout I can assure you! Not actually got to cleaning the brushes yet mind as Gnome is installing XP on his PC and keeps on calling me! I feel a long soak in the bath coming on!

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi

Time to Reflect

I've mentioned before that I am a diet junky, but one thing that this addiction has taught me is the signs to watch for. As of last Saturday I had lost 5lb - that was in 12 days. I was delighted. I knew that I had possible been a little low of calories but reconed that a kick start was good, after all a lot of diets/healthy eating plans started with 2 weeks of lower intact to kick start the plan and make you feel good with a high weight lose. So I carried on as before. Only the last 2-3 days I have noticed that I have been really tired and yesterday and today I have eaten a lot, not as much as I have before or as much as I could have eaten but a lot more than the last two weeks. So the analytical head has come into force. I haven't been running or exercising lots; I may be in work earlier but I am leaving early then dosing most of the afternoon with Oliver. This means just one thing.... I've cut back too much . I haven't lost any weight since Saturday (I may
