Thunder and heavy rain here.

What a summer! It's raining again this am. Need to start planning in my runs. Need 4 runs a week to see an improvement.
 
today 31.7.12

food:-
1 mint choc shake
1 coconut shake
3 pints of water
2 cups of coffee (+milk)

exercise:-
3 mile run 325 cals burnt

this is my 2nd 3 mile run. it's not getting any easier. legs were still sore from tuesday. ow! had to stop as i had a phone call, grrr! average speed was 11.41 min miles. was a hot run as the sun was out and shining down. sunday was windier and cooler.

took hound to the vets today. she's got conjunctivitus, i'll have to keep things extra clean! can't risk catching that! was going to wash car this pm but just looking out the window and it might just be raining soon. waiting for a call to say my new lawn mower is in. our last one gave up the ghost. we're getting a honda petrol. should be better than our mountfield petrol which started falling to bits not long after we got it but we are lazy people and should have contacted the company and got them to look at it. we've not had it many years probably 3.

i've got zumba tonight. hope my legs don't collapse under me.

life is strange. i keep thinking about what i would do if my mum was here! i would have taken her all over the place. my dad's just not the same. i do take him places but sometimes he's just happy not going anywhere! we went to the metrocentre on friday for my 1 week check up. i wanted to have a little look round but he hadn't brought his antibiotics with him.

my aunt came over yesterday and we sorted through a few clothes and put them into charity bags. my aunt from london sent a couple of gifts for the kids so i phoned her to say thank you. it was the first time i'd spoken to her since 16th april at mum's funeral. things were left sour and uncomfortable. i think that she was angry with herself for maybe not coming down on the tuesday to see mum as she would have got there when she was still alive. unfortunately she didn't come til thursday and it was too late. this school holiday lark is hard as my mind keeps ticking away at my mum's final hour. i can't imagine when this will ever stop! it just hurts and i want it to stop!

that's zumba done for the day too. aprox 475 cals burnt for that.

days total cals......

exercise:-
3 mile run 325 cals burnt
zumba 475 cals burnt

780 cals burnt.

food:-
1 mint choc shake
1 coconut shake
3 pints of water
4 cups of coffee (+milk)
1 mint bar

going to have an extra product since i burnt off 780 cals.

my bmr is 1700 cals at my current weight. if i add it to 780 it equates to 2480 cals possible to scoff today. so i think that an extra couple of cals won't matter.
 
think i'm going to print out some pictures of me when i was thin and stick it around the house. pictures of me now next to it! it will be great motivation.
 
i feel very tired today. eyes feel tired, probably very dry.

got off the phone with the diabetes ass uk. going to hit my local press with my story. exciting.
 
tired again today. busy busy.

had my nails done this am then picked up my new lawn mower this afty which inspired me to cut my grass (since it wasn't raining either). then i started weeding the front. off to pick up the little chap soon then drop them both off at my dad's as i have zumba tonight! yeahaw!
 
today's done. zumba taught! around 470 cals gone from there!

run day tomorrow.

had contact with diabetes ass this week. going to run a story on me. looks good.
 
Good move... Might generate some sponsorship. How are your eyes?
 
i've got a rash on my tummy. i noticed last night in the shower after zumba. it's really itchy and feels very lumpy! i'm not happy about it :( makes me grumpy!
 
Heat rash? Allergies? I'm glad your eyes are doing so well

I think it's a hives job. It's not heat rash as it doesn't look like heat rash pictures. Comes on after exercise (& sweating) though.

Oh Nikki that sounds familiar :( I get it whenever my skin gets hot, after exercise, too hot bath, sun burn. Hopefully yours won't get as bad as mine has (and that's much better as time has gone on). Take antihistamines and it should go down if it's a histamine reaction to heat. My only option is steroids as I'm allergic to antihistamines. I had to go to A&E with mine once, to get steroids but I'm not about to start taking steroids every time it happens.

Hi Nikki!
 
It was my wedding anniversary yesterday. 7 years. It's gone quick.

Right got to get this weight off. It's rediculous. Feeling fat.

3 weeks tomorrow to my hols and I'm desperate for a good loss and be 18lbs lower but I'm not sure it's going to happen. I'm running 3 times a week. Got my Zumba twice a week. All I can hope for is a couple of weeks of really good losses and toning up from running to physically look smaller!
 
A sweat picture. He he. A drop of sweat dripping off my hair. Face dripping in the other. Came back from a run. Did a hill run. Up fast down slow. Killer run. I'd cooled down and stretched outside first and it was still dripping off me.
