Weighing in at;
13st 8lb
Weight lost this week;
1lb (6lb total)
So, my foot's still sore and i'm still limping about :-( tonight was my last netball match of the season for my other team - definitely not a good week, sports wise for me :-(
And yet another boring day of stressful report writing and procrastinative trips to the shop. Not only was it not a good day sports wise, it was also not a good day food wise as I gave into my junk food craving for chinese. I was hoping it would taste really greasy and awful and put me off for ages......it didn't, it was delicious and I enjoed every mouthful of it!!!
A journey of half-marathon training, weight loss and charity fundraising. Starting on Day 1 as an overweight, partial couch potato who has a passion to succeed...and help fight cancer!

Day 17
Money raise so far;
£115
Money still to raise;
£285
Another stagnant day for me, with my stupid not getting any better foot :-( my last netball game of the season tonight and I have to miss it :-(
After a boring day full of boredom and yet more boredom I was tempted into getting a chinese for tea, but when I realised I didn't actually want one and that I was just feeling sorry for myself, I managed to save both my waistline and my pennies - the tea I had was much nicer aswell :-)
Mother is still soldiering on with the fundraising!! I think maybe I should pull my own finger out with it anytime soon, I just need this dam report out of the way and then I can really start to get the ball rolling.

Day 16
Money raised so far;
£103
Money still to raise;
£297
So apparentely I hurt my foot in last night's run, which totally sucks ass :-( I thought it felt sore when I was on my route, but didn't really think much of it as running generally hurts me everytime I go out. When I got home it really stiffened up and I was struggling to walk on it, just in time for a week with a rounders game, 2 netball games and race for life in it, aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggghhh!! Well that's one sporting event down, I had to cancel the rounders tonight due to lack of players, which is good that I didn't miss it but does mean trying to round the troups up another night instead, which is getting increasingly frustrating!!!
Mother is absolutely kicking my ass on the money raising front, she's up to £88 for her sponsored diet - woop woop!! Although when she told me she was 'up to 88 pounds' I did wonder what she was on about for a minute, before assuming she'd suddenly become anorexic and had lost 88lbs - d'oh, oopsie!!!

Day 15
Distance ran;
10.69K (1.13.06)
Total distance ran;
35.74K (4.10:18)
So after spending the whole day sat in the same chair, I was irritated, bored, lethargic and generally not enjoying my day whatsoever.....and then I returned home to the gentle words of 'shall we go for a run?' I knew then that my day had hit yet another low, but as I have a challenge to conquer I had of course to begrundgingly say yes. So tonight we tried something new, he thinks I run too slowly and does a lot of moaning about my pace, so tonight he gave me a 12minute head start and then tried to catch me. I think this tactic was also supposed to spur me on to try and not 'get caught', but instead I just felt myself doing constant mental arithmetic, calculating the time and distance when he would catch me up!!!!! I was, of course, 'caught' but was quite proud of running the full distance on my own and non stop....albeit it still a little slow :-(
Delicious food today, a lovely tuna, lettuce and olive sanger for my dinner, but unfortunately no tea :-( after my run I was cooking tea and then really suddenly felt really sickly and got a really bad headache, so I went for a lie down to try and get rid of it, but ended up falling asleep for the evening!!

Day 14
Hmmm so this weekend has not gone well for me in any respect, well other than to get drunk and eat indulgent foods - which was actually totally awesome, but not exactly helpful!!!!! A new noodle bar in town just had to be tried, which was deeelicious, but crazy fool fruitfingers ordered the large portion, which was miles to big even for the piggy me - a defo lesson to be learned from this......big is not always best!!!
No exercize, well other than another lovely (maybe 1 hour) walk to the sinful noodle place and no money raising either........I think I need to regroup my (far too) easily swayed focus back to the task in hand!!

Day 13
Money raised so far
£65
Money still to raise
£335
Mother is doing well with her sponsored diet for my plight, losing 4lbs in less than a week - that sounded far too fast to me, but then she let me into her little secret of pie-ing up before she started.....naughty mother!!! However pie or no pie, she's still got another 8 weeks to go and has raised £50 so far - keep up the good work mother :-)
On the diet front for me, definitely NOT a good day - it began with a bacon buttie and went downhill from there!!!!! I had a little scone at a local festival, a lovely hot chocolate in a lovely tea room and then ate tea out at my friend's house, which began non diet friendly and ended with strawberries, cream and homemade shortbread - phenomenally tasty, but not exactly helping myself (except to another piece of shortbread!!!) with the weight loss.
No exercize today, well other than a nice (about an hour) walk in the sunshine.....and thunderstorms!!!

Day 12
Distance ran
9.68K (1.17:10)
Total distance ran
25.05K (2.57:12)
Went into uni again today to try and get my dam report finished, I can't wait for the stupid thing to be handed in I hate the stupid thing and the stupid thing is really stressing me out - I have more important things to spend my time on.....like fundraising for example!!!!!
Struggled with food again today, my own fault though, I didn't make a plan at the beginning of the week so have been improvising from the previous week, however without a proper plan this line of attack is never going to end well. Creamcake? Sure why not, i'll substitute that for a ryvita and humous, i'm sure the calories will be near enough the same!!!!!!!!!!!
Went for a run tonight and finally managed to do a longish distance of 9.68K, which makes me nearly back on schedule. I did it pretty slowly, (my slowest time yet) but felt good all the way around, except for my toes!!! My new awesome nike trainers were a MASSIVE let down for running, they were far too heavy which meant I was dragging my feet and my toes were completely numb after about K number 3......lesson most definitely learnt there. Anyhoo, on the slowness thing it did mean that I spent longer exercising, longer on my feet - so although it wasn't too fast, I proved I can exercise for longer even if it was at a reduced rate!!
