Juneathon Day 29 & The grand finale

Hi y'all!!!

Day 29 was pretty much the same like any other work day. Friday's are always stressful and these days the heat in the workplace is always on 11. So did my usual standing, walking and climbing at work. Then we went out for a friend's birthday drinks. Walk to the pub was about 15 mins, totalling to 30 mins to and fro. I think that counts towards  Juneathon 2012 . 

Juneathon Day 28

Hi y'all!!!


I think I have become an addict. I didn't go to the gym today :( 

Juneathon Day 27

Hi y'all!!!

"I love exercise!!" this is what I thought during my 11 minute hill climb in group cycling tonight. I never imagined that I would get to this stage in my life. When I was younger I was an active kid but I become the opposite during my teens. I had moved in with my dad and he let me eat and drink whatever I liked as long as I abided by his house rules. Mom was always the disciplinarian in our family (even for my dad, he can't help his sweet teeth!). Back then I didn't realise less activity, more food meant taking the path to obesity. I continued to buy clothes that fit my body without looking at the sizes. 

Juneathon Day 23-26

Hi y'all!!!

"The weekend always ruins my routine! I have had inspiring plans for the weekend all week... and then I fail!!"

Juneathon Day 21 - 23

Hi y'all!!!

Juneathon Day 16-18

Hi y'all!!!

So I'm half way through juneathon. I can't believe it! I apologise for being rubbish about blogging daily. It is hard after a day's work, gym, dinner, eating, cleaning, veggin' out infront of the tele and sleeping. I know they may sound like excuses but I have tried hard. I don't like blogging from my phone because I can't format it the way I want or add images etc. 

Juneathon Day 15

Hi y'all!!!

I walked  to my friends house and back. Took me about 10 mins or so.

I hope this weekend might be better.

Thanks for reading.

Juneathon Day 7-10

Hi y'all!!


So I have been busy!! Sorry for no blog posts! 


Day 7-10 -- I didn't do anything exciting at all. Just walked places. 


Oh hang on! I did a day trip to London, visited the British museum for the first time. Its huge and amazing. We stayed there for about 2 hours and didn't even cover 1/3rd of the area. 


I might have to plan another trip there. 


Thanks for reading.

Juneathon 2012

Hi y'all!! 

Juneathon

So I caved in ... I am going to give Juneathon another go. What is Juneathon?! Its an "annual festival of activity and excuses". Any activity goes; running, walking, gym, workouts etc. The rules are simple; do an activity everyday, blog about it, record your times on running free online and hope that you can keep up with it all month! 

Kettlebells are ringing

Hi y'all! 


I am back with yet another popular gym class. Recently I picked up a renowed health mag at my friend's and one of the inspirational stories was about a lady who lost tons of weight by taking up 'Kettlebell'. That reminded me how much I actually enjoyed kettlebell sessions at my local gym. 

Group Cycling

Or 'Spin'


I was told that the hand grips on the bikes at our differ from the original 'Spin' class. Different grips or not, it is an intensive workout where you will burn calories whether you are naturally slim or considered 'obese'. I tried this class when I weighed around 13st and I couldn't stand up on the bike to do the hill rides but I carried on cycling for the full 40 mins. That first class had definitely got me hooked but alas I didn't go back until Nov 2011.

'Step' 5 6 7 8

Hi y'all!

I went to my first step class in months. It felt like torture!! Fitness levels drop like flies, I barely made it through the warm up. How I survived the whole 50 mins is beyond my understanding. 

So what is step? 

Losing the pounds

Hi y'all!


Inspired by Alis Mcwhirter I have decided to take this blog in a different direction. 


I have been struggling to lose weight since 2008 (in fact - 1999). That is a 'VERY' long time to try and do one thing for any normal person. Do you know anyone who has taken so much time??
