LG!!!!!

Yes I'm still here alive and well and since my last update there has been many changes - all positive

• I returned to SWEAT, a fantastic running squad that is bursting will talented and dedicated runners.
• Given up alcohol - yes I had my last drink on 23 February 2012!!!!!
• Commenced training with a Personal Trainer (PT) - I absolutely love our sessions she works me the hardest I have ever trained in my life.
• I'm back training 7 days a week, 5 to 6 days running and a bit of cross training at the gym thrown in.
• Discovered  the burn of CX Worx
• Lost 5kg but I have become more 'compact' loosing quite a few centimetres - yes I have been building a bit of muscle.

I think the next challenge for me now to concentrate on my diet, it's pretty good but it does need a little makeover so it's time to pull out the 'bootcamp meal plan'.

Hope to see you more often.
 

Slipping Away

Wow how quickly does time slip away.  I've had a big couple of weeks and have a new focus and I must say I'm feeling pretty good.  As some of "regular readers" would know I was injured for quite a long time (14 months) and let's just say my whole motivation for fitness and really just taking care of myself disappeared too.  Although a few too many kilo re-appeared;-(

I am happy to say I'm now running pain free again, but my main focus at the moment is to loose weight and enjoy my training.  So my training schedule is similar to what I enjoyed many years ago; power walking, PUMP, Spin and running.  I have made a commitment to train for at least an hour a day.

Hand in hand with the my training is a disciplined eating program,  yes I have finally come to the realisation that I will never be thin and weight control will be a constant battle.  It took me a little while for weight to creep on, so realistic weight loss is the plan.

Do I have any goals for the year, well of course;

* be happy

* loose 8 kilos

* run a few races

* just love what I'm doing and who I'm doing it with
