1.5 lb loss this week :-)

It's been hard to get out and run these past few weeks with Toby off, the only times I can is around midday when the temperature is at it's highest. Not by choice it's when he is taken out for a few hours by his care workers.

I have managed Mon 21st June 5 miles (8k)
Tues 22nd June 5.33 (Just over 8.5k)
Wed 23rd June 3.86 miles (6.21K)
Thurs 24th June 5.16 miles (8.3K)
Fri 25th June 5 miles (8K)
Mon 28th June 6.22miles (10k)

and today Tuesday 29th June 5,10 miles (8.2K)

I've ordered some more trainers too, SAUCONY Pro Grid Omni 7 as my others are losing their bounce. The toe is still swollen and uncomfortable but trying to rest it when I can.

Just need to get a good play list going on my MP3 and some longer routes, also a few biking sessions down Taff Trail would be good.

A late entry.. 3 lbs off for Tues 22nd June.

Plus the running is going very well, managed good times and speed and even running up the steep hills which used to crease me as they are killers around here. The only downside of losing weight is that my clothes are drowning me.. I've got a few days/nights out coming up so will have to get a couple of nice but cheap tops or they will be too big soon and it's a bit of a waste of money!

My toe is still twice the size, I wear flip flops or go bare footed when I'm not running to give it a break. I know I shouldn't run but I'll go stir crazy otherwise. Also my running shoes are losing the "bounce" so will look online and order another same pair at a fraction of the price! I did treat myself to a FETCH running top as pictured, I love it.

Next time I Blog I "hopefully" would have lost 3 stone altogether, it has surprisingly been quite easy, I think it's the running which "doesn't" give me an appetite afterwards, oh and egg and soldiers ;-)

3 1/4 lbs off and going back to the gym.

Well I've managed to lose 3 1/4 lbs without running and the gym. I think it was all the painting and glossing, and the stress of a birthday party etc. As you can see the toe is looking somewhat better but isn't totally healed.

I bit the bullet and went back to the gym yesterday, I was getting very depressed and down about not being able to run/gym it. It's still pretty sore and hurts with the trainer on but numbs up after a while. I managed 1 hour on the Cross trainer number 11 on a cross train, I did book in for a Spin class right after with my friend but thought against it last second.

Not sure what's happening next week as Toby has 2 weeks holiday from school which messes up my gym routine (pesky kids ;-)). I just can't wait until I can run again and then I can at least run in the night when OH gets back from work.

So this week will be a week of solid X training me thinks x

6 lbs off this week..

I don't know how but I'm over the moon. Last Saturday I managed a 10K, I was so pleased that the old me is coming back. To be honest I didn't do much last week just 3 times I went running/training as it was half term, I was very busy though.

Disaster struck Sunday afternoon, I was mopping the floor and I clipped the side of the door hard, my little toe made a clicking noise and I knew I'd broken it, AGAIN! This will be the third time I've done this.. I did try to put my trainer on on Monday to try to gym it on the Crosstrainer. I couldn't even put a sock on properly for the pain, and the trainer was very painful. So no more running/Gym/Zumba for at least a week and then I'll see what it's like.

I'm going stir crazy already! So I'm throwing myself into painting my Daughter's room to keep active. I miss running and am actually starting to feel depressed and cranky :-(..

A bit late but a 2 lb off for 01/06/10

Been very busy so haven't been able to log in to post last Tuesday, with the half term etc. Been to Tintern with friends and did a lot of walking in the forest, then to Ceredigion for the Eisteddfod and loads of walking and standing (about 15 hours worth). Then a day off as I was exhausted..

I did manage to go to the gym for an hour on Wednesday where the rest came in well as I managed much better on the treadmill, and didn't feel tired at all. Then a Zumba class in the evening, in the heat, VERY hot. Nothing for Thursday apart from mowing lawns and running the kids about. My mum did sit for me whilst I went for a 5 mile run yesterday in the sun, 3 mins run 1 walk, even a 6 min run with no stops. So pleased it's getting easier.

I did cheat and step on the scales (should be on Tuesdays), it was a good one but will reveal all this Tuesday. All that walking etc has paid off :-)

Roll on Tuesday, and enjoy the sun all!!
