I’ve now officially finished the Michelle Bridges 12wbt! The question is, did I get fitter? The answer is a resounding yes! This morning I got up early to exercise, as I have done almost every morning for the last 12 weeks. I decided to do the same exercise program as I did in week 1, […]
I’ve been following the 12wbt program for 10 weeks now (this is week 11). I’ve been doing pretty well and formed some new good habits, exercising daily, eating well, being aware of my motivations. But I’m under a lot of work stress at the moment (deadlines) and the bad old habits are creeping back in. […]
I couldn’t do my learn to run program last week. Was pretty disappointed as I’ve been doing really well with it. I’m up to three minute run intervals and two minute walk intervals and last week was the second week doing that mix. However I’ve got shin splints in/on my left leg which became painfully […]
Tonight is the night we got our Internet back. It’s so good to be back online. We now have a brand new satellite connection and whilst it’s a bit slower than the adsl2 in town it’s heaps better than one bar on the mobile! That’s what I wrote last night, then the internet glitched and […]
So, we’ve moved into our new house. Last weekend, in fact from Thursday through to the following Monday, were huge days. We weren’t quite ready to move so there was lots of frantic last minute packing right up to 8am Saturday when the removalists arrived. I don’t think we’ve ever been this ‘unready’ for a […]
We are moving house on Saturday. We’re not moving far, only about 5km down the road. But it means everything will change. To start with I’ll be going on a different route when I head out the door on my learn to run program. I’ve grown quite attached to my route over the last three […]
I have to say, I really don’t like scales! Mind you the set I own is pretty dodgy (it’s the sort with the little lines on the dial, not a fancy digital one). So even though they are not saying what I want to hear I can ignore them to a point, because they aren’t […]
This journey began two weeks ago on Monday 27th August when the 12wbt kicked off. Unlike some of the others I didn’t do any preparation, except for trying to get to bed by 10pm instead of sitting up late working or reading or zoned out in front of the tv until all hours. The […]
I used to be fit once. It was a long time ago – my oldest son turns 15 next week which would make it a bit over 15 years! But now? Well, most people wouldn’t call me fat. I’m over 10kg heavier than I was at my fittest and that weight has stuck to all […]
