well.
second time now, ive said ill do a marathon.
this time i will do it, its in december and a flat easy route.
backed out of my april marathon as i wasnt ready for it, was too soon but ill have done 9 running half marathons before december. i always feel like i can carry on after ive finished them... so sod it ill do a marathon. a full 26.2 mile run, it will be tough and ill be crapping myself with nerves but its been on my mind ever since april the 7th. i trained for a marathon, got scared and backed out. even did up to 20 miles in one run.....
so marathon plans are
one in december
two in april (begining and end!)
reckon i can finish it in 4hrs 30mins if i put in the effort, for a first time that would be amazing!

morning cardio:
body step and body combat
Breakfast: toffee apple shake and peanut protein bar
lunch: quorn peppered steak and boiled rice
afternoon cardio/weights:
spinning and body pump - upped my squat (22kg), back and chest weight (15kg). might up tricep weight next week to 17kg.
tea: quorn peppered steak and green beans, followed by peanut protein bar

triceps are so sore today, my upper back aches at the slightest move.... yay. still want to do 17kg on my triceps, heavy for an arm weight and seems to be a weight only the guys will go for :S alot of the women have been going longer than me to the classes and they still stick to little warm up weights.
soon as im back to 25kg on squats, 17kg on triceps and 12kg on biceps ill be happy.
when i could use those weights i was heavier though, think that could have made it easier for me?

ive been struggling lately, struggling to eat, sleep, focus....
feels wrong to say this, it makes it real. my nan died on friday the 24th may. ive struggled eating anything and as a result my weights dropped by 5/6lbs, still cant sleep properly but im starting to eat again now.
been doing alot of gym classes since saturday, 13 to be exact plus two runs.

Oh no. I was about to ask how you were doing as well. I'm so sorry to hear about your nan *hug*
I'm glad you've started eating again and soon sleep will get better too. Everyone has a different way of coping with things, looks like yours is gym classes. Just don't overdo it and injure yourself or something x

while any loss is good, when its stress related its never good.
managed to fall asleep at work today luckily on my lunch break but that meant no food again, still managed a decent run and 2 gym classes though.
trying to get used to sleeping at night not daytime and its hard work x

So sorry to hear about your Nan Gina, thinking of you! Look after yourself and try and eat a little, no food and too much exercise isn't good for your body. We are all here for support xxx

yeah feeling better today thanks
did the St Cathrine's moonlight walk last night, the half marathon, took 3 hours 31 minutes to walk it.
Im also switching around my diet, rather than just herbalife im doing alternating between protein shakes. I cant stick to the same foods all the time but I found a protein shake I like. did cost me £75 for the tub but its 2kg and 40 servings. 40g protein and 2.2g carbs per shake made with milk. quite nice and creamy tasting too! blends easily in my shaker, just a pain to carry it home!
