I Am NOT a Goldfish!

Yes today started Operation Goldfish!
I've counted calories, took hot water and milk to work to make tea (money saved covers gym/pool membership) and I've joined the gym! The gym gave me a free bag with water bottle, tee and towel too which was nice!

Tomorrow I have my 1-2-1 induction and I also have a voucher for a 30mins PT session. The pool re-opens on Monday (has been closed for re-tiling) and they even have a running club taken by the PTs twice a week after work for when I start back running!

So plan is:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday:- lunchtime walk.
Tuesday, Thursday:- lunchtime gym
Saturday:- gym whilst gnome swims
Sunday:- swimming with Gnome (aqua jogging maybe?)

Gym will include weights work, rower and stepper and bike. I never do weights so this is a great opportunity to improve in this area. As it's during lunch it will only be a short session so doing weights then will be ideal as I also won't get boiling hot and we all know more muscles mean more calories being burnt off etc! Again as I won't be working too hard I won't be allowing any extra calories for this.

Today I have downloaded my sponsorship form for my slimathon, I will be doing an online form too and I also signed up for the rosemary conley stuff at work which should hopefully start at the beginning of March.

For 2007 I have planned:
Lose 2st with slimathon - ongoing
Do 2.5km Swimathon quicker than last year - March
Do Leicester R4L in under 35mins to get a PB - July
Do Hydro Active in Brum in 30mins for another PB - September
Sorted!

Sounds great Pix - lots of good goals there :oD

How about an intermediate goal of a stone by June or something as a nice intermediate target?

Why Goldfish, btw?

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
