May!!! 5 Months already :-s

Doesn’t time fly!!!

Okay so 3 weeks back on the weightwatchers plan and I have lost 9lb, a 2lb loss this week which amazes me as I’ve been ill (unconnected) and on antibiotics (errrgg!) and really didn’t try very hard (bacon butties!)  I thought I might take up wake boarding this last fortnight as the rain situation here in the UK has been constant, my bike has remained in the garage and my running shoes untouched.

The garden is looking great though!

Looking at my resolutionary list I’m able to strike off the ‘short stories’ and not getting stressed at my son’s school application. I have to admit I have been worried but everyone kept saying ‘Siblings at the same school it’s a cinch’ and it turns out it was Bravo Council!  He’s not keen on the idea of starting school, they don’t start the school visits until after Whitsun but I’m sure he will get used to the idea in due course…

With the removal of the school issue and my daughters dental issues resolved for now, I currently have very little to stress me out *touch wood* long may it last. So my insomnia is practically non existent. It’s so lovely to sleep, really it is!!

 

Things are ticking along and looking positive. After all…  Here Comes Summer!!

I want to ride my bike…

I took the mountain bike out this evening, or rather we took each other. It has more gears than a posh clock I swear… No idea what to do with them all!  I stuck it in 2 on one side (left) and clicked up and down happily on the other as required.  My husband set me a route, he said as it was my first time out in ages best not to push it.

The weather was marvelous and I truly did love the ride. The spring sun was very warming, just enough to enjoy without being too hot and the solitude suited me after playing with my 3 year old all day, brain space, what a wonderful motivation to go exercising!

I almost did the prescribed circuit when I arrived at a bench and realised my throat was quite dry; fighting off another cold I expect, my daughter is very sneezey this week. I stopped and sat for a while and necked a bottle of water and stretched out my thighs which were pleasantly buzzing. Apparently I’m going to be made to endure this most days. I think I can live with that.

Told you so!

I use the term with amusement and in the sarcastic nature it is intended, I know me, by February I can almost guarantee this blog and it’s ideals will have fallen by the wayside, I have good intentions but little to no determination. I’m not driven or competitive enough to make much happen for myself.

Now, you know I was not kidding

So here we go again!! It’s nearly the end of March, I’ve actually put on weight, I have excuses but they are just that. I’ve not been trying, again excuses, I won’t bore you.  I’m going to give it another shot, mostly because I’m sick to death of the spare tyre and the back ache.

 

I weighed myself earlier this week – 13st 12, I was gutted and I’m sick of looking at myself in the mirror. Mr. K say’s I should go cycling for an hour a day and I’m going to take him up on that. Tomorrow being Friday I have to wait until he gets home, he thinks it’s going to be after lunch so I’m going to focus on that.

 

Remind me eh!

 

On a brighter note, I’ve had 3 insomnia free days, this usually happens after the event I have been stressing about passes, after 4 months with no sleeping through it feels weird, I feel even more tired if that is possible! *sigh*I hope this feeling passes.

 

Week Four; Mud on the soles

Last week seems to have rushed by in a bustle!

Ironically the only thing I managed to do on my to do list from last week was get my mountain bike out and have a run, it has only underlined how extremely unfit I am, after cycling for an hour I ran for 100yrds to loosen up all my muscles and by the end of that 100yards I was breathing like a chain smoker… I ran the 100yrds back too but only after catching my breath.

Not Impressed…

Anyway, the Mountain biking was fun, got muddy, which of course proves I was doing it right, but then it’s hard to work out how I could have stayed clean with the state the forest trail was in!

So more Mountain biking this week…

The kitchen did get a bit of a spruce up but not as ‘deep’ as I’d planned but I didn’t touch my photo albums…

Insomnia blighted my week again, the OH keeps asking what I’m stressing over, I think I know, it concerns my daughters health and I need to spend some time addressing that issue.
