Listening to NZ Radio

Got a mini speaker to connect the Ipod Touch to today and its awesome. Its so little but has great sound and bass - quite deceiving. Have been listening to NZ radio stations all afternoon whilst in the kitchen preparing dinner and making batches of pasta sauce for freezing.

At the moment listening to Michael Laws on Radio Live talking about a Meter reader who done a poo in a new world shopping bag at someones house. WTF?

Made a yummy Aubergine Dish for dinner tonight.

Just sliced 1 Aubergine up and drizzled some Olive Oil and sprinkle of Salt and bake in the oven for 15 Min's after that I spooned in some of my pasta sauce I just made (pork mince, tomatoes,onion & garlic) then sprinkled with Parmesan Cheese and baked for 20 minutes more. YUMMO. You should try it - really easy. I actually had it with some crusty bread to 'mop up' the sauce with.

Off to do the dishes then off to bed. Good night

Personal Achievement

Just back from the Gym today and just wanted to share my personal achievement. I have finally cracked the 5km mark.

Today I was able to jog 5km's without stopping. Previously I have done 5km but it would be jog, walk, jog, walk and so on but today I did it. I am so happy, I got to about 1.8km and really was ready to give in and start walking, but after words to myself managed to carry on. It definitely helps if you have good music though. I wouldn't be able to go to the gym without any music. I wouldn't be able to focus.

Kids were in the creche and loved it, so we are back on Friday. Think I will have tomorrow off.

Finally sold my Wii yesterday, I just didn't use it enough. I had good intentions for it but when I had the chance to use it (usually when the kids are in bed for the night) I was too knackered!
So that has paid for my Ipod Touch.

Slack

Haven't updated in a couple of days. Went out on Sunday, and was away all day today on a school trip, so haven't had time to get on the comp to update blog.

Nothing much to report really. have been sort of good. I always seem to dip on a Tuesday/Wednesday - it seems when my willpower goes. So I had some things I shouldn't have eaten today but I have got over it and tomorrow is another day.

Yes, tomorrow is another day at the gym. Have one hour there with the kids in the gym creche, which is great because I don't have to rely on my OH's days off to watch the kids. Its all included in the price too, so effectively I pay £2.75 for the gym and 1 hours childcare for 2 kids - your not going to get that any cheaper.

I also did the same thing on Monday morning but only for half an hour as the first session is an induction session for the kids to see how they go, but they loved it! No problems. So I managed only 20 minutes on the treadmill but was really happy because I jogged the whole 20 mins without stopping to walk so that is a big achievement for me as well. I have my 5km fun run on the 31st so I have to get a move on!!!!

Just found added another song on my exercise playlist to get me going.....

Weigh in Results

YAY! Lost 1.2kg this week. I am now 95.5kg so am happy about that. Cant wait to get under the 95kg mark - its been a long time but I'm getting there.

Well today is the usual treat day after weigh and we are off to a birthday today and they are having a buffet. I must be careful and not get carried away.



I bought myself a miniature of Captain Morgan Rum yesterday and said to myself if I have a loss this week I can have a Rum and Coke. So when I get home from the do will have a nice Rum and coke with Ice. Yum...

I will write some more when I get home but just wanted to log my weigh in results. Here's to another week.

Size 16

Yay, I finally fit into my Size 16 Skinny Jeans. I bought these awhile ago from Primark and originally looking for an 18 but as they kept selling out my friend told me to get the 16 'you will fit into them soon enough'.

I am happy to say I tried them on today and they fit! I'm rapt, I haven't been in a 16 for so long, so I feel real happy about that.

At the moment I'm drinking pints of water, to flush myself out before the big weigh in tomorrow.
Oh god, I hope its a loss. I did say I wanted to be 94.9kg but that seems a bit far fetched now. I
will be happy with anything at the moment, as long as it's a loss!!!

OOO, I had the most yummiest dinner tonight. Chicken Ceaser Salad. It was the bomb!!! I loved it and made a double portion, so I have another serving for tomorrows lunch as well.

Next entry will be weigh in results. Fingers crossed xxxxx

Dont Stop Me Now......

This is my motivation song at the moment. Whenever I am at the gym, and feel like I'm flagging - I crank this song up on my Ipod. Gets me back in the 'zone' and the beat makes run faster.



I managed to get to the gym today and do my 5km. Took me just under 41 minutes - was a mix of run,walk,run,walk.

Back in the day I was able to run 5k in 30 minutes or just under, so I have a long way to go but I am getting there.

I always feel good after the gym and it makes me not want to 'cheat', not at the gym again maybe until Sunday, so maybe go walking tomorrow afternoon.

Until tomorrow.......

Psyllium Husks

Today I have decided to start to take Psyllium Husks again.

I used this years ago during the time I used to go and have colonics.

It is in Powder Form and you and you add it to water. You must drink it fast because what it does it expands in your Colon(tummy) and acts like a brush and sweeps all the Fecal matter from the sides of your tummy which may have become stuck there and moves it out of your system.

It does also give you the feeling of feeling full - I guess that's when it is expanding in your tummy. It has many health benefits as well as beneficial to people with high cholesterol and Type 2 Diabetes.

Not too much going on at the moment. The weather has turned and haven't done any exercise the past couple of days. I have 4 days left until my next weigh in. I really need to push hard, as I have been good........but not great and don't feel any lighter.

Never mind will get there - eventually.......
