May Goals!

So today started the 7 Day Vegan Challenge. It is going really well, or shall I say it was going well till the other half (bless) thought it would be a good idea to bring home 5 doughnuts from Sainsburys along with the hummus and peanut butter I asked him to get. So 2 and 1/2 yummy round diet destroying balls I am craving everything under the sun!

...its nice to know I can binge eat and still be vegan... ¬_¬ LEARN SOME SELF CONTROL WOMAN!

Anyway...

In other news I ordered some resistance bands and they arrived today YEY. They were really fun to have a play with and I am looking forward to doing a proper workout with them soon.

My Ballet Conditioning DVD arrived today too!

Only £5 from amazon, it is like a beginners guide to the basics of ballet training. On the surface it looks fairly simple but one I got into it my arms/legs/abs were in PAIN. I'm hoping I will be able to feel it tomorrow that way I know its done some good!

So May goals:

Lets start off with that it is going to be a pretty scary month as my dissertation is due in on the 20th. O_O.

  • Finish and hand in dissertation
  • Complete ballet conditioning DVD at least once per week
  • Keep up with marathon training plan which begins on the 6th May (I am still planning on following the No Meat Athlete plan)
  • Lose 5lb
  • TRY and control my mad eating when home alone!
They will do I think!

And the training starts again..

Hello! I know its been a while!

So I am back running and gyming it again and I already feel so much better and now it doesn't feel as much of a struggle to get my bum out of the door in the morning. I always feel great for going out.

I did the Gunpowder plod 5k! It was in 32mins 25secs.
I tried really hard so I am proud of that as it is a PB for me (plus the course was FULL of people which made it insanely hard to get past people since they let us go all at once rather in blocks of estimated finish time, but hey ho).

My weight is staying around 9st 10lb-11lb. Not great. I am hoping that the exercise will bring it down and the increased healthy eating will also help! I would like to lose some pounds for Christmas!

I have updated my Jillian Michaels' collection so have another 3 of her amazing DVDs arriving soon!

I have been thinking, I have always thought it would be brill to have awesome abs and all that but I don't know again its something my head wants but my body isn't really sure about that one!

Uni work is taking off at the mo, I have 2 essays and a dissertation proposal to do in the next 3 weeks plus doing just under full time work at my current placement. So I am feeling a little O_O. No motivation what.so.ever.
