I think my body has gone to pot after all...

... after spending 3 weeks in London working and a further two weeks lazing around (due to ice and snow of course!) I reckon I'm more than 8lb overweight now! So off I went out this morning and did 24 miles. This is it... the start of my new fitness regime. NO MORE MACCY D's for me! and the weather report is good for the rest of the week, so should be able to get at least two more rides in before Friday. I'd like to say it was an easy 24 miles today but I had to force myself to stay "on course" when the short cut was soooo tempting!

Bad Day

I found out today, even though they took two weeks persuading me to do a project role and promised faithfully to hold my job open for me if I did it, they haven't. SO... I took it out on the turbo and the water. That's another few calories burned off eh? At least my body won't go to pot just coz my life is.

3lb lighter already!

So, since my last ride out, I've done two turbo sessions (too icy to ride out) and twice been swimming. Weighed myself at work yesterday and I've lost 3lb, plus I had my heavy boots on when I weighed myself too! (",) yippee. Five more to go and I'll be happy.

Might treat myself to a new swimsuit (",)

First ride of 2009

25 miles, 3 degrees centigrade... and my ipod battery ran out after an hour. not happy about that, seems to be running out sooner and sooner these days. looks like a new one is on my wish list.

No ipod = nothing to take your mind off the cold Brrrr!!!

but at least i got out there and did it. had to have another 2 hour bath to warm myself up (",) and then a trip out to the pub.

Zero degrees centrigrade...

Its zero degrees centigrade but I managed to get out and do 25 miles. I wasn't gonna go but decided to just do the loop and drop in at Clive's for a cuppa to warm me up. I swear the temperature dropped by a few degrees when I was in his house coz my fingers and toes froze up on the way home (they were ok going??). Had to have a bath for a whole 2 hours just to warm up! LOL, like I need an excuse to stay in the bath!

Gave Jack a little pressie for Christmas too. He's a cute kid but don't tell anyone I said so, they might think I'm losing it. Kids ain't my thing.

O well, it's one degree warmer tomorrow (apparently!) so I will try and get out again. To be honest I don't mind the cold, it's just if there is any ice on the road that worries me. Certainly don't need to come off and do any more damage!

How many calories do I need to burn to get rid of this 8lb of fat??? I burned 1200 today. I think that's 1/2 lb!

Another 35 miles

Did another 35 miles yesterday with a quick stop off at Clive's and Debbie's for a quick cuppa and a KitKat. Yum. He tried to fob me off with a home made crunchy. Trust me, they are nothing like Cadbury's Crunchy! I was really disappointed the first time he got it out (oo-er mrs). Told him I'd rather have a chocolate hob knob instead heehee.

Debbie was really ill, this awful flu thing is going round, seems to have missed me and I think its coz i'm still cycling. Well... i gotta lose the 8lb yet! Also going swimming tomorrow night, hopefully Stuart will of sorted the membership thing out. If I don't get to cycle to work I might pop my bike on the trainer tomorrow night too. Got a Christmas do on Tuesday and wearing a short skirt. Also I have a very important party to go to in March so I have to look hot hot hot as there is going to be a hot hot hot guy there! I'm not saying anymore! (",)

Where have I been?

You might well ask??!!!

I've been gorging myself on chocolate and putting on 8lb!!! (".)

I was a tad shocked when I stood on the scales. I mean, I realised I was getting a teeny muffin top but I didn't realise it was 8lb's worth.

Needless to say have since done a 35 mile cycle and been swimming twice!

Have also since found out that not only is next year's Paris trip an extra 40 miles (with the longest day of 108 miles on the 3rd day) but I am also doing a charity fundraiser with 7 other people doing the equivalent mileage of our London office to New York office. So hopefully with all the training I should lose the extra 8lb and more! In fact, this time next year I should be so fit, Playboy will be begging me to do a photo shoot (",)
