Pass The Foam Roller

Oh lordy lord. This week has been a bit of a funny one! 

I had planned to hit the gym hard and that is exactly what I did. After slacking off a bit last week I was seriously lacking in motivation and enthusiasm, but I seem to be coming round again.
I've cleaned up my diet a lot - compared to what it has been and picked up the cardio again for a bit!

So this week.......

MONDAY - In preparation for my Race for Life on Sunday I decided it was about time I put in some effort on the treadmill. So I put my trainers on and headed to the gym. Fourty minutes later I'd done 4k with a mixture of running and walking.....I'm hoping I can do this a bit quicker on the actual day. I did get interupted a few times and ended up chatting whilst walking. I'm actually glad I did as otherwise I think it would have dragged.

After my slightly ambitious 4K I went to my very first circuits class! Again I totally loved it - I'm 100% a class kinda girl. I'll be doing a circuits review in a few weeks when I've been to a couple more classes.

TUESDAY - So today I thought I would hit the treadmill again and try do another 4K. I think I had underestimated how sore and tired my legs were. I only managed 3K on the treadmill and then a further 1K on the cross trainer. Then it was Abs time and boy did I smash them hard......My abs and waist are really my new focus.

WEDNESDAY - So I had my PT session today. There isn't much to report from it if I'm honest....It was a good session but much the same as I've been doing for the last few weeks.

THURSDAY - REST DAY :-)

FRIDAY - Today I'm heading to the gym for a quick hour before I head to the kids sports day #noexcuses.

LInk Love

Ahhhhhhhhhh......Did you hear that??? Yes that is me breathing a HUGE sigh of relief knowing that we are half way through the week!
It's been a strange and busy old week here and I'm glad the weekend is in sight........So if like me you're in need of a bit of chill out time, then why not grab a bottle (of water) and take a look at some of these health and fitness links:

• Summer is a coming and even the most gorgeous among us need to focus on their fitness.....
• My 5k Run is coming this weekend, I think I'll be taking a look at these race day tips.
• Speaking as someone who regularly trips herself up when getting off the treadmill, these made me smile!

Gear It Up

I've totally lost track of the amount of money I've spent on workout gear in the last few months. It doesn't help that I often go to the gym twice a day (for various classes) or that I keep losing weight and everything gets too big on me!
However, I'm hoping now that I might be able to buy some cute kit that fits me for a while before I have to change it. I'm currently wearing a UK size 12/14 top and think it will be an awfully long time before I can squeeze myself into a 10 so might be time to make a bigger investment.............Think I better start being nice to the husband!

Anyway here is some cute kit that I'm currently lusting after:

H&M

SWEATY BETTY

LULULEMON

NIKE

RESULTS.....

This is the second new weekly feature I am going to be doing on this blog. Like I said the other day I need somewhere where I have to be accountable, so by telling you all my weekly weigh in results I'm hoping that will be enough to keep me on track.
I've only got just less than 5 months to go until the big 3-0 and less than five months until I've been doing this for a year! I need a big final push so starting again NOW!

This weeks weigh in.......
After having had a whole week off and eating really really disgustingly crap food I was 100% sure that I would have put on weight, but luckily for me I somehow managed to still lose 2lb!!!!!

Starting Weight: 259lb
Weight Now: 205lb

6lb to go and then I am finally under the 200lb mark..........I'm going in hard this week starting with my first ever circuits class today so hoping by Friday I might be even closer to being out of the 200's????
