So it continues....

I have been so far hitting my targets this past couple of days.
I can't believe I haven't drank more than 5 cups a day :-o not like me!
I haven't been snacking on rubbish the worst things I have had if the gingerbread men biscuits and only had one per day, really hoping it means the scales have moved down when I next step on it.

I went to the gym again tonight, hoping to maybe get another session in at the end of the week. Also have been doing a lot of walking, and went swimming with Phoenix this afternoon, although wasn't doing lengths, but surely the water tension helps?

Tonight's gym action has improvements:

0.9miles and 108cals burned on treadmill, hoping a 10 minute mile next time, which I think for someone who hasn't exercise in months and ate rubbish, is not too shabby.
2.4miles on bike and 70cals burned although that was in 13mins as I put the time up as I wanted to do 2miles (guess I achieved that.... next time I want 2.5miles)
Also did up upper body weights, and the row machine for 7 mins, which takes my cardio time to 30mins. Can you see a round number pattern going on??

Next time I might work up the courage to get back on the cross trainer, I have a love hate relationship with it, mentally quite negative about it, as I don't think I'm very good at it. It's tough! Suppose I need tough to get my jiggle butt into order.

Time for bed, as Hubby is already there!!

First Post on this blog,

I don't know if I'm burning the candle at both ends, trying to do TWO blogs after neglecting one for months...

But I think my strive to be Yummy Mummy Xmas '09 is not really something for the other blog, it's something I want to do for myself.

Last year after I had Rune I was doing great with diet and fitness. Could run 5k and was going to the gym twice a week.

Then the winter came and I got lazy.
The whole trying to get Phoenix into the school we wanted him to (which resulted us taking Local Authority to court) caused me to comfort eat BIG time. I swear I must have put on 1.5stone. Hell let's say 2stone and round it up.

So I'm starting out at, yikes 73kg, and I would like to lose at least a stone for Christmas, but let's make it 65kg as I like round figures.... except when they are on me. Jeez, corny joke is obviously the theme of this blog.

Trying to only eat when I'm hungry (Like the Paul McKenna book which I may follow) and try to eat more healthily. We are pretty healthy but I secretly snack on junk (away from the boys) on top of everything else. So try to switch my snacks to more natural things, liked dried fruit.

I took photos of myself last night, but I'm too embarrassed to upload them! Talk about wake up call.

So yesterday, I finally went back to the gym! Yahoo!
I cycled for 10mins on the bike, which was 1.8miles, and burned 53cals
and ran on the treadmill for 10 mins, and managed 0.8miles, and burned 101cals.
So my target the next few weeks is to increase the distance and cals burned within 10mins and then increase time. Also did a bit of weight training, but I'm not trying to build bulk, so won't be blogging about that much.

Today will go to the park with the boys, and walk out with buggy with Rune for his nap, Hubby off tomorrow so hoping to do the gym again.

Will probably blog once or twice a week with this blog, I hope.
So targets for Yummy Mummy Xmas '09
Lose 8kg
Manage 1mile in 10mins

This weeks targets,
Gym at least twice a week
Only 1 treat per day!
Cut down tea drinking to 5 cups a day (I swear I drink at least 10 on some days!) and drink water or diluting juice instead.
