Update.............

Well hello there guys and gals. Okay then, so my last blog was all about my new trainers. I have to say I love them but I have had a few probs with them to start with. As I said I have never warn a pair of trainers in my life and these Nike ones proper running trainers. I went for my walk as per usual and wore them and about two thirds of the way around they started to rub my ankles, OMG I limped home like a wounded soldier, lol, so unfortunately I couldn't go for a walk for a couple of days because my old Skechers that I wore before were even catching me.

The gym well there's another story, lol. I'm not brave enough to go on my own yet when it's busy and with work I haven't had a chance to go, I did manage the other day and got there and had forgot my locker lock and had my purse and everything with me and wasn't going to risk just leaving it all in there, it stressed me out a bit so I just came home, so I'm afraid to say I haven't been to the gym in the last week, naughty naughty I know,lol. Anyway I donned my thick sox and plasters on my heals and went out for my walk again Friday night and with the extra cushioning on my heals and chatting to my pal Bee on the phone for the full half a hour, lol, I felt no pain and a lot of gain!!!

I keep cooking different things to eat, I am doing a lot of stir fries with low cal spray oil and lots of veg and chicken and also make a spaghetti bolognese from scratch with quorn, I am trying to avoid to much red meat as it's full of saturated fat.

I'm being really good as well, I'm emptying the store cupboard at home, when I go to the States I always buy a packet corn muffing mix because you can't get it over here and I love it, well I baked the last 2 packets on Friday and took it into work for the customers, they thoroughly enjoyed it. Mum and Lauren baked chocolate butterfly cakes as well on Saturday and I took the excess to work as well, the greedy buggers ate the lot, lol.

Well it's a tough week at work this week, I'm doing 50 hours, we have 2 people off on holiday so there's only Karl, Me and Paul to hold the fort, it is going to be a good week though, we all 3 get on really well and have a laugh, luckily they don't eat like pigs either so I don't get led astray by either of them.

Lord only know if I'm going to get to go to the gym either this week, it's a bit annoying that I can't seem to get there, but when I'm a bit braver and fitter I won't mind going on my Jack at all. I will definitely get a couple of walks in though I promise.

I've been laid up today, think I've had a bit of a chill in my kidneys, think it's my own fault, when I go for a walk I wear my big winter coat but only a tee shirt underneath and think a draft has caught me. I felt dodgy at work yesterday and blamed it on the naff chairs but when I woke up this morning in agony I guessed it was a chill, so I filled the hot water bottle to boiling point and I think I've burnt the chill away, still a bit sore but a lot better than I was this morning, Karl will be relieved!!!

Sophie my Dear little Sister is back in hospital tomorrow, she's having a really rough time at the moments, she's going in for yet another lumber puncture and to top it all the Doctor has been overdosing her on her medication, no wonder the pins and needles have been worse than normal. Good luck Bab I love you!!!

It's weigh in Thursday morning, I do hope I've lost some, I feel I have and should have considering how good I've been? Wish me luck..........

So there you have it my update for the last week or so, I hope you are all well?

Until the next time...................
