Eggh! So for the last 3 weeks I haven’t lost a single thing… 207.4, 207.4, 207.7 it’s all very frustrating, especially as I’ve been doing more exercise; going to the gym 4+ times a week, doing taekwondo twice a week and also being perpetually late for seminars and thus having to power walk for 15 [...]

Yeah, I thought new scales would be a nice thing. They’d be pretty and shiny and just generally lovely.
My beautiful, Evil scales of Doom
That is not the case when you discover that your old scales are out by possibly as much as 1/2 a stone…. that means I’m about 7lbs heavier than I thought I [...]

I’ve started attending the ‘early risers’ swimming at my local pool and I’m working on getting my lengths in. When I was at school I was on the swimming team, even though I wasn’t at all skinny (this might explain why our swimming teams wasn’t so great…) however I was quite able to do 100 [...]

…. or is it just an insidious form of procrastination?
I’m meant to be seeing my PT guy today and he works me hard so although I’m starting to get into the habit of doing to bouts of exercise a day I don’t want to be exhausted in 4 hours time and not fully benefit from [...]

My brother has friends over this weekend, which was nice as they got my mind off things. However this did curtail my doing exercise on Saturday. By Sunday the guilt had built up a enough that I pulled myself away from socialising for an hour or two and did an exercise video, which wasn’t difficult [...]

We’ve had spotty showers here today, even a flash of lightning and clap of thunder or two. Fortunately it sort of cleared up so I was able to go for my proscribed walk. I did the sensible thing and wore trainers and a weather proof coat, however I truly loath the way I look dressed [...]

So, my daily exercise really isn’t that hard. As Carl (the personal trainer I saw yesterday) said, the next few weeks the work I’ll be doing is basically to get me fit enough to do ‘proper’ exercise… this is more simple building of strength and stamina. It’s rather embarrassing just how unfit I am, I [...]

So I finally got to meet with the personal trainer I mentioned earlier, he was very helpful so I’ll be seeing him once a week until I head off to Uni to do my postgrad. Only annoying thing is I won’t see him for another fortnight as on Monday I’m to go off on holiday [...]

I got a call back from a local private gym/personal trainer set up (it had been a week since I called them I didn’t think I was going to hear back from them) however, I’ve now got an appointment to go in and see them on Friday - hopefully it will be helpful. This of [...]

I spent this afternoon mulling over a cunning idea. You see I live in the country, where there are fields and long village greens and canal paths. Now here’s the brilliant piece of thinking on my part: These things lend themselves to being run… the canal is of course particularly good owing to the fact [...]
