My news from last few months...
Main headline would be my discovery of SNOG the frozen yoghurt chain mainly based in London, http://www.ifancyasnog.com/about/ check it out, has changed my life..its all about classic green tea with blueberries and raspberries, yummy.
I've also decided to commit myself to running a half marathon in September, that gives me about 4 months to train and a kind of productive project to work towards.. I want to get a good time, but whats a good time? Am between a 9-10 minute mile at the mo, was feeling quite pleased with myself until someone told me at my age and size I should be running 7 1/2 - 8 min miles!! I feel this is not possible. I've never been one of those 'naturally sporty types' so am working from scratch here and its tough. The other thing about running is it makes you hungry as your burning alot of calories and i'm struggling not to replace to calories (and some!) with my meals and snacks, think I have finally found a balance after putting on 5 pounds :( (could this be muscle??) but have slightly lessened my portions and trying to be more controlled (also tough!) I dont really need to lose weight but since buying myself a set of scales its hard not to make losing just a few more pounds an imperative importance!!
And again not helped (slight rant coming) by celeb trainer Tracey Anderson telling you that you dont need carbs. I am sure that cutting a major food group from your diet will make you loose weight yes, but what are the long-term consequences? The main aim is surely to be healthy?
Anywayyy im digressing somewhat... I am going to track my running progress on here as I work up to the half. There will definitely be more obsessing over what im eating, what i should be eating, how much im eating etc, I am somewhat of an obsessor and hoping this will help vent that and get advice from others who are maybe the same as me (probs not quite as crazy).
Ok gonna wrap this up and write again tomorrow, I think i'll keep writing until I find out where this is all going...
