OMG! 2 weeks since update *Blush*

Well it's been like the Y.M.C.A. here these past two weeks having the three of them off, plus sleepovers galore. I've not been able to get on the laptop as it's had various children on it so have been using my iphone or ipod to browse the web etc.

Well my back recovered and I got back into it, More running, more circuits, More Step Circuits, more gym. I did slip up and had a bottle of wine, so August 17th was a loss of just 1 3/4 lbs .. then went shopping with eldest and had such a bad day I had ANOTHER bottle of wine plus other junk.. not good.

My weigh in today (August 24th) was much much better, (even though I eat donuts and drank wine on that very stressed shopping day) was a loss of 4 1/4 lbs which I'm shocked at but very pleased. So 8lbs plus in 3 weeks is good, just to shift 5 more lbs and it'll be a 5 stone loss. Just have over a stone to go until goal and will see if I'm comfortable at that weight.

Bad back = No running

On another note 1 3/4lbs off this week, would have liked a bit more but a loss is a loss. Managed to hurt my back this week during Step Circuits, I felt it "twang" and it's been hurting ever since. Trying to keep active and sticking to the cross trainer until it gets better as sitting down makes it hurt more than actually moving around!!

Last week went a bit like this:

Tuesday 4th August : Gym 40 mins fartlek running on the treadmill, 9.5 - 12 speed. Then on the Crosstrainer on the Crosstrain for 20 mins on number 12. Weights for 20 mins (arms, legs) and sit ups.

Wednesday 5th August: Rest Day

Thursday 6th August: A 8.73 mile run (1 hour 32 mins) to Roath Park and back in the evening.

Friday 7th August: 1 hour Circuit Training, which was tough as they had 3 minutes on each station!

Saturday 8th August: A 5.7 mile run (55 mins)

Sunday 9th August: Gym 40 mins fartlek running on the treadmill, 9.5 - 12 speed. Then on the Crosstrainer on the Crosstrain for 20 mins on number 12. Weights for 20 mins (arms, legs) and sit ups.

Then 1 hours Step Circuits in the night.

Monday 9th August: Gym, 60 mins on the Crosstrainer on cross train number 11, then arm weights for 20 mins.


I'm hoping by next week my back will get better and will carry on with the running for the Half Marathon in October :-)

Updated 27th July- 3rd August (8lb loss)

Thurd week of the holidays it's getting harder to keep the blog up, plus the laptop always has one of the children on it.. Roll on September!!

Well 2 weeks on and an 8 lb loss, 4 lb on 27/07/10 and 4lb this week 03/08/10. Very happy as I've now lost over 4 STONE! I'm very pleased as the running is going well and I'm up to 10 miles now when I go for runs, just another 3 and that'll be 13 miles for the Half marathon in October. Still loving the Zumba, also added a couple of "killer" step circuits and gym sessions with weights to tone up.

The Other half is taking next week off so I can get some serious running under my belt as it's so hard fitting it in around the kids "social life" and OH's work. Here's to next week :-)
