It has really been one of those days, everything that could go wrong did go wrong until this evening! 

Now I'm not planning on making a habit of posting about my kids but this one is fitness related.......For the past 5 weeks my son has been representing his school in the cross country series. For me this has meant standing in the cold, wet mud cheering him on. For him it's meant having the time of his life and running his little socks off! Over the past few weeks he's placed 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 3rd......until tonight when in the pouring rain he WON! He beat a field of over 100 boys in a 2k race - also coming 3rd overall in the series! Now like i said i'm not planning on posting lots about the kids......its nice to have a break but after all the training he's put in....often running 3k (12mins) I thought it was worth a post!

Spinning, Pumping, Personal Training!

Watch from ASOS

Wow i can't believe how long its been since i posted!

Truth be told I'd decided not to bother with this blog but recently I've been spending a lot of time on instagram and reading other peoples fitness blog and found them truly inspiring. Which made me think, while i may not think what i have to say is particularly important someone might, and just might be inspired by my story to give themselves a totally new lifestyle!

So whats been going on since i last posted.........well I've dropped a s*** tonne of weight.......I now weigh 216 which is considerably less than my starting weight!
Over the Christmas period something changed in my brain and i really decided i want this, so since then I've totally overhauled my diet, added in some weight training (weight machines and body pump class) and taken on a personal trainer!

I've also entered myself into my first 5k race - well its more of a fun run but hey ho!

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be posting about my daily gym, fitness and general day to day activities. My new clean eating lifestyle (i hate the word diet....it immediately makes me hungry), possibly some recipes. I also plan on sharing other fitness blogs that i love reading!

So for now take care xx

Monday Weekend Round Up...........

That's another weekend down and not much progress made! 

I'm seriously going to have to sort this out!

True to form Saturday morning was another double spin session! Yes that's 90 mins of Spin, to be fair the husband does it with me so that tends to make me work harder, but after the first 45 minutes my legs were killing me! They were getting to the point where i couldn't move them! It's this that i find hardest about working out! My head and heart want it, even my lungs could keep going but my legs just gave up! So i managed to attack the first 45 minutes.....the second 45 minutes were a very very different story.

I'm starting to get to know the spin instructor now and she tends to know which classes i've already done that week, so this week she was asking me which CD i wanted to do? Obviously i chose the cheesiest dance mix she has......one that i could have a good sing a long to. In theory this should have made the second class easier..........It didn't!!

Anyway food choices........food has and probably will always be my downfall! I've downloaded the myfitnesspal app to my phone and am working on tracking my calories on there. I'm not sure how accurate the exercise calories are so at the moment i'm not taking any notice of my exercise calories, i'm eating between 1000-1200 calories per day......to be fair i think 1000 is too few so i might jazz things up a bit and work on 1200 ish!
