biker babe!
Morning all,
i just have to share how pleased i am with myself - something ive been for a long time. im also starting to wonder if im turning into a new improved version of me??
well for a start i stuck to SW 100% last week (apart from a planned day out to the seaside where i had half a portion of chips). and ive been 100% this week too.
secondly i have been doing lots of walking (my dog gives me the incentive) and ive started to love being outside and being active so much that i have started running too. im only just starting out by running for 1 minute then walking for 2, then run for 1....over a 2 mile distance and im REALLY enjoying it. my ambition is to run a marathon one day but im going to start small and do a 5k run sometime this year then just build it up from there.
i was inspired by a freind of mine who was quite a large chap. he started running 13 months ago (after not running since he was at school!) and completed the Paris Marathon the other weekend in under 4 hours! he's super fit now and i wanna be like that!
I never, never thought i would see the day that i actually enjoyed exercising - let alone running! mind you, when youre 19 stone everything is an effort (im 11.11 now with still a little way to go)
finally - we play the 'bonus ball' at work and a colleague's number came up an she won the prize pot. everytime someone wins it is usual for them to buy cakes and sausage rolls from the local bakery. well i am proud to say that everyone else in the office is scoffing away whilst i am sat here enjoying a banana and a muller light. (i just hope that my good habits and resolve stays strong and i dont slip into old habits or forget how hard ive worked and become complacent. - its a slippery slope as i know that i still have food issues and can easily binge if i dont keep myself in check).... BUT i have come a long way, my eating habits have changed and i never thought i could be this in control...and im loving it!
