The One With the Cliche New Years Resolution

Happy New Year Everyone... it's been a while since we last spoke. I was doing so well through the Summer - running at least 3 times a week and running my first ever official races - one of them around the Olympic Parks and finishing in the Olympic Stadium!! But then it got cold, it got wet, I lost motivation and decided to just eat instead. So guess what... I piled on the weight again. Whoops. It hasn't really bothered me to be honest - Ive had fun not calorie counting and.. well just slobbing chilling out.

Today though is the start of  New Year and with that brings a hundred cliched pledges... mine is to run at least 3 times a week and cycle at least once a week.

I've decided to post my progress (as usual! Let's see how many days I last this time before the blog is abandoned!!)

Tonight I donned my new hi-vis running top and set out on my first run jog fast walk of the year in a bid to rid myself of the giant food baby that has accumulated in my tummy.

It was so wet and windy but I managed a very slow 7.5k!! Still that's 500 calories that I wouldn't have burned sitting watching TV.

The Food Diary isn't great but it is New Years Day so you'll have to let me off!!

Breakfast
2 x Bacon
Mushrooms
Egg
2 x Toast (white bread)

Lunch
Ko-Lee Noodles
Milky Bar

Dinner
A delicious Chilli Prawn Stir Fry after my run.

So that's my resolution to be fit & healthy again - and stick to it!! Wish me luck.... again!!!
