my every day life

This is my blog to record and tell my stories, what's on my mind, things going on in my every day life.

So right now, in a bid to lose weight I have decided to become a runner!! I've been inspired by this woman Cathy Zielske and her weight loss stories (really admire her as a crafter also) and I bought this book "running made easy" to help me on my way.

My family all think this is a great laugh, having to buy a book to tell you how to run, but it seems to be working for me so far. Now there is a lot of testimonials from grateful people in the book and if you took all these out it would be a very thin book hahaha! but it also has some good advice in there as well. I am on Day 5, which means I warm up for 5 mins, run for 1 min, walk for 3 min and do this 4 times, then cool down walk for another 5 min. Total workout time 26 minutes.

So far so good. I do find it easier to get the run out of the way in the morning, and I have learned not to run after eating a meal (major cramps) but I can honestly say I am enjoying it and I am sticking with it so far. Early days yet.
