Day one - new life

First day of new life has gone very well (to be expected I know) I have not felt hungry. I have not done any formal exercise but have had a very busy day with hardly any sitting down. Managed to work up a sweat washing floors.
I am hoping to start training for Race for life next week (waiting for new trainers) I am going to use my running made easy book & do the 1 minute plan as I have had success with this in the past. I am very overweight (about 3 1/2 stone above the top of healthy weight range) so I need to take it very steady & build up slowly. (I probably shouldn't try running but it makes me feel like I am really doing something) I also want to get back on my bike for some lower impact exercise. Both of these I can do without having to be out the house for a long time so should be easier to fit in.
I have been shopping today & stocked up on lots of fruit, veg & other healthy stuff. I had to make a decision that 'I am worth it', as so often in the past I would not buy the stuff that would help me due to financial constraints, well they are still there but I have decided to make my health a priority & invest a bit more thoughtfully in my future. I am very concientious with my kids nutrition but in the past have not had the same values for myself.
Anyway, that's all for now, looking forward to day 2!

  1. Welcome to blogworld Milly. I remember taking ages to work out how to post pics at the beginning and then feeling realy proud when I managed it!! So, well done on your first few posts!

    Hey - I've just been over at my parents in Coleby near Lincoln and I'm a dog lover too so that's 2 things in common.

    Good luck chuck!

  2. Thanks for your comment Lesley, I am still not sure whether to post photos on my blog or remain more anonymous, I think I may be more honest if people don't know who I am! We do have a few things in common, I have read all of your blog ( not some weird stalker-honest!) I just found your chimp stuff really interesting & found your blog by googling about that. I have since read all the way through a few of the blogs on your list, I love to read, drives my husband nuts! One of my dogs is a gold show type cocker & facially she looks just like your girls, she has just been mated so we are hoping for her to have a litter in about 8 weeks. I especially love the photos of your girls in action, you live in an idealic spot for dog walking! Anyway thanks again, I feel like a real blogger now I have a comment! Milly
