Week Fifteen

My goal is to get on the treadmill and walk/run 4 - 6kms a day,
doing at least 45mins a day.
I'm also trying to eat 'real' food and eliminate processed sugar.
As I have rheumatoid arthritis and my Mum had a heart attack in her early 60's,
I'm making health and fitness a priority this year.

I'm tired of being flabby & frumpy.
I want to be fit & fabulous!
So....2012 is the year of fit and healthy for me.
I'm hoping to find some others who are doing the same thing so
we can support and motivate each other.
Do you want in?

I'm making health and fitness a priority this year.

I'm tired of being flabby & frumpy.
I want to be fit & fabulous!
So....2012 is the year of fit and healthy for me.
I'm hoping to find some others who are doing the same thing so
we can support and motivate each other.
Do you want in?

Day Six

My goal is to get on the treadmill and walk/run 3 - 5kms a day.
I'm also trying to eat 'real' food and eliminate sugar.
As I have rheumatoid arthritis and my Mum had a heart attack in her early 60's,
I'm making health and fitness a priority this year.

So I think I'm having an arthritis flare up. I've been feeling it since Christmas but woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a bus in my sleep this morning. I started the day with 2 glasses of water and will be drinking 1 right before bed.
Also aimed to eliminate salt, bread and sugar today. I did have some salted nuts, I licked icing off my finger whilst backing cupcakes with the kids, but I haven't had any bread! Yes!!

Day Five-

treadmill: 2km in 22mins
(No smashing anything today, but it felt good to get on for a bit.)

Day Four

My goal is to get on the treadmill and walk/run 3 - 5kms a day.
For now I'm doing nothing different with my diet, other than trying to eat well.
I might change that at some point.
I'm just concentrating on moving, because I was doing nothing for way too long.

This morning I woke up feeling very stiff and sore. I didn't want to move at all and contemplated a rest day. But I really do want to do something every day. So thanks to Shelly on the Facebook group and some tweeps on Twitter I decided to do something a little different today.

Day Three-

100 crunches + 50 (easy) push-ups
stretches for 10mins
treadmill: 2km in (a very slow) 24mins
(but I only intended to get on for 10 - 15mins, so that's better than I expected)

Day One - A New Beginning

It's day one for the new-look blog.
But it's day 18 since I got my treadmill.
Apart from the 7 days we were away over Christmas, I've been on it every day.
My goal is 3 - 5kms a day.
For now I'm doing nothing different with my diet, I might change that at some point.
