It annoys me so much!

Today's weigh in..  10stone 2lbs 6.0z.  not a huge loss but a loss ..

So at work yesterday, 5 women have been discussing their diets.  They are all nutters, lol.  One has lost 5lbs in  2 weeks, when asking what she eats, not sure if she has  breakfast, but  she has a bowl of homemade soup for lunch and a bowl of soup with a slice of bread or a roll for dinner.. Yep that's it.  Well yes she will lose weigh but surely when she goes back to eating normally that will go on quicker than anything.  She's obsessed with food, eats non stop then diets..  will she learn..No i don't think so.  another is having shakes for breakfast and lunch and a healthy dinner.  she does have a snack of raw veg at say 11.30.. not sure what she does in the afternoon as i don't always work with her.  Not sure if this diet will work as  shakes do become a tad boring and i've never found them to be satifying, have you? another is sort of following the Slimming world plan, now she has done really well on SW and lost shed loads of weight, then stopped  and went back to her normal eating, Subways, huge bags of crisps, not grab bag size but the big bags, sweets, coke and other the other bad but nice things we all love. I talk about excercise at work and suggest to help then along why not go back to Zumba (a few of them used to go to classes)  and they reply 'i'd love to but i don't get time'  An hour a week.. surely you can spare an hour, go after work, before work.. but noooo, they are to busy.  1 has a small child that her husband could look after, the others don't have children.. so 1 hour out of 24hrs is nothing.  It does annoy me when they say they really want to exercise but when you try and help, they make excuses that they 'don't get time' When really they are saying 'can't be arsed'. 
some of them say they wish they could be skinny like me, i'm not skinny, i am in fact overweight with a BMI of 26.. I am like I am because i exercise, i don't eat crap (well not all the time) I would love to have a flat tummy and it's not from not trying that i don't.  I would love to be lighter but i'm not and that's not because i don't try .. I Do try really hard.. I

Anyway, i have just got back from my run and now i am going to have a long soak in the bath..  bliss :-)

first run in a while

First post for a while.. So fell off the wagon in December, ate everything in sight, you know what I'm saying.  But we had a really lovely Christmas, Thomas (son) was home for 2 weeks (he lives in Sutton) Hannah (daughter) was with us Christmas day then went to London to stay with her bf for a while.. A good time was had by all.
So, now back on the wagon, weighed in last week at 10.6.8 (not happy about that) and weighed in this morning (have only been healthy eating since Monday) at 10st 4.6. 

Today was the first run since 11/12/13, almost a month to the day since we went last time.  It was a beautiful day and not raining for once, so we just had to go for a run. We run our usual 7.5m which is by far not an easy run.  I was thinking that we really should have run 5k rather than throwing ourselves into a long run.  Anyway, we did OK 1hr 29mins, not fast but we did it and will only improve on the time  My aim this year is to run a half marathon, not competitively just me and Al.

 I have not made any new years resolutions, don't see the point.  I am just going to keep on running and eat healthily.  I am however hoping this year will be better than last year, last year was pretty tough with family issues.. Keeping my fingers crossed for this year.. Things can only get better xx

Well Happy New Year to anyone that reads this blogs

Monday's diet ..

When I first started my blog i called it 'Mondays diet', well tomorrow is Monday and i'm starting my diet again.  Not so much a diet but healthy eating, I have spent the month of December and first week of January eating, eating crisps, chocolate and puddings and drinking tons of wine and my favourite tipple Baileys.   I have gained at least 7lbs and now is the time to get back to how i used to be.  Slimmer, fitter and feeling good. 
So this evening is my last supper.. Indian takeaway, by far my most fave food.  It's been ordered, collected and eaten and now, i'm sat here feeling so full up and uncomfortable but really satisfied.

So here's to Monday's Diet

Happy New Year
