Easing myself in .. 

Posted on by KerryLouise

Tuesday, Wednesday AND Thursday this week I ran for an average of 20 minutes. Well I say ran, it wasn’t a full 20 min run, it was 1 min running, 1 min fast walking. Like my app told me. It did something though I could feel it the next day, just goes to show how out of it I am at the moment. 

Today the app told me to brisk walk 1.6km, i smashed that due to a leafleting job I was on. I can’t believe how many hills I had to climb either. In total I covered a 12km distance and fully deserved my tea of chicken and rice. 

I’m trying to fight the urge to not go to the shop. My craving for Dr Pepper is insane right now. I can’t wait for these cravings to stop. Sunday I am leafleting again so it justifies the fact I cannot get to the gym all weekend. Next week diet must be better!!

Sat on the Sofa like a potato

It’s been a while since my last post.. I merged a blog to this one.

Ok maybe potato was a bit harsh! BUT it has just been Christmas (2 weeks ago 🙈) and I am back to living with a man after 16 months. (Reason? Well thats for my other blog! 😉) I don’t care what anyone says, being content and having a man around who can literally eat what he likes is torture on your figure! Well it has been on mine. I had a very busy December with work and this week with a sick daughter I haven’t been to the gym since November!! NOVEMBER!!

On Wednesday I took the plunge and signed up for a half marathon in Birmingham on 16th October. I need help! I am not a complete stranger to running as I have completed the 10k race for life 2 years on the trot. However, last July when I Crossed that finish line at Hyde Park within 1 hour 7 minutes, that was the last time I have ran. It’s been 6 months!! 6 months! I honestly don’t think I could run to the shop right now without wanting to stop. I am starting from scratch!

Now for the cringe bit. I have just been looking at old pictures of myself from 2008-2011. I was massive, even my friends will look at the pictures and be gobsmacked not remembering me being THAT big. I look at these pictures and think ….. ‘Why did I even go out?!!’

So this is my blog to follow my journey into being in the BEST Shape of my life.

Tomorrow i will reluctantly do my measurements and weight and then Sunday (Because mentally I can cope with this better- I will explain tomorrow) and then I’m doing this !!

Here’s to no more coach potato 😜
