Oh it does feel like a battle, let me assure you of that. Every step, or raise leg, or pumping arms feels like I am at war with the dreaded Flab Master!
Oh sorry, Hi blog lovers, I'm back, only this time I have a goal again, inspiration, an award at the end of the fight, something to look forward to, something...... well you get the picture.
I have entered my self into the Race for Life again, for two very good reasons, one its for cancer research, the dreaded disease that took my mum and dad, and also for me, to get fitter and hopefully in doing so a slimmer body.
I have come to realise that I am not one of lifes get up and do people, I need goals, something to achieve at the end of, and I dont just mean a slimmer fitter body, because as we can all clearly see that just didnt happen with me! So a 5K jog it is! With the added bonus that I will be raising loads of money, (Facebook friends, you will have course noted my little banner or just giving on my profile) for this very worthy cause.
Nagging sister has left me to my own devices untill, as she put it, 'when you are fitter, we will go jogging together' DUH and how does she expect me to do that without her naggingness behind me? Well I do have my memories of all those jogging sessions before, that constant nagging whineing, shouting......hmmmm, Yes, I think I can wait till I'm a little fitter to cope with that.
So today, I didnt go jogging, I couldnt face the coldness of the day, and I really wanted to enjoy my first day of my new regime, so I slammed on the music and danced. The I had this brain wave about looking up on youtube a dance keep fit session! I found one, I bounced along, watching this gorgeous guy working his hips, and these gorgeous girls behind him smiling, working out in time with him, with out so much of a bead of sweat! By the end of the 10 min session, this is after my own arms flaying, Jim morrisey, Smiths kind of dance routine of my own, I looked a wreck! But I have, in my befuddled state, decided to favourite that particular routine into my youtube account and hopefully continue with that for the week.
Till next time blog lovers, I'm going for it, (again) yeah!!!
p.s. So good to be back blogging again, oh nagging sister, still quiet voices, loud applause, roar of the crowd, money kerchinging in my chaity fund, sigh!!
About Me
- Moosh
- I like to chat, as you can probably tell by my blogs. I started blogging to keep my own enthusiasm up and its kind of like my 'open diary'. Logging all of my attempts to get fit and stay that way. I started to keep fit after my mum passed away of cancer, and we decided to raise money for research to help try and beat this disease.I am married and have been now for 30 years, I enjoy the odd pint of lager. I play guitar at my church. I have three kids, one is still at home, middle child made me a grandmother 7 years ago, and he is just so adorable, and a reason to stay fit and healthy! I belong to a running club, and have now become a LiRF, so now I can lead groups out for running sessions! How cool is that! Now who'd have thought I would be doing this when I first started jogging in 2008?
