First day back to work today after 3 days off sick and one day off normal. Went OK. But, as usual, managed to piss off a customer... Something about a meal for deal of 3 for £5, he had one wrong and wanted us to go pick him one, how are we meant to know what he likes??????...... Ho hum!! Other than that, it went OK!
Still not been out running though, might do some on treadmill tomorrow night but definitely going out on Wednesday, not sure how far or how long so we'll see how it goes.
Also, to also say I had 3 days off sick, I only put on half a pound, so, what with no exercise for a week and been off work, not bad!!
My daughter went out on her first real date on Saturday night. She went to see a movie at the pics.......... Think it went OK, not sure if she will be seeing him again but we'll see what happens.
Along with thousands of other people, I am starting the New Year with a diet and exercise plan. I've started several times over the last year but failed. I stopped smoking on a New Year 11 years ago, so, maybe, a New Year is a good place to start with this !

OK, third time training for a race, third time I end up with a bloody cold!! Felt it coming on last week with a tickle in my throat, thought I'd managed to get rid of it by using first defence, now, it seemed to work and I thought I had got rid, but nooooo, I stopped using it and on Monday night, I went for a quick run and BANG, the cold hit me! Felt crap on Tuesday, Wednesday was not too bad but then this morning I woke up feeling really shite! So, phoned in sick! Two days off now! Said I would go back on Saturday but we'll see how that goes, but I can't see why not..........
So, no running since Monday night! Need to play catch up over the next 3 weeks!!

Felling good!
Well, diet's been OK. Not too worried. Went out on Saturday night though, so, a few extra calories there! Worth it though, had a brilliant night! Didn't suffer too much on Sunday, certainly could have been worse!! Ate a Sunday Roast too though, not brilliant for the diet but very yummy!!
Weighed myself this morning, 11 stone 4.5 lbs............ I think that's 3 lbs off! Happy with that!!
The training has been going OK, I had a run on Thursday, only two miles but the pace was good! I was pleased with it! I'm due to go for at least six miles today, just need to make sure I go!! Not sure what route I want to do though! I would prefer to go somewhere quiet but there is no such thing around here!!!
Anyway, will let you know how today goes later!!
Right, later is here....... Was meant to do 6 miles today, could not muster up the enthusiasm at all to do a run today....... I was going to go in the morning, didn't happen, then the aft.... Didn't happen, evening came along and it was clear that the 6 miler was not happening, resigned myself to not going at all..... Next thing I know it's just gone 8 pm and I go and put on my running gear, log a route and then just go....... I did 3 miles at an average pace of 12.18, it ended up been the fastest run I have done since September last year! It was cold, windy and occasionally rainy but I enjoyed it!! There was an accident at the bridge near kwik Fit, hope the person I saw laid down is OK. Don't know what happened though.
Just calculated my BMI, I am now 29.9 and that is classed as overweight, that's better than the obese I was in January!!
So, there we go!

Found out that I have won a place in the Great North run!!! So, if I ever needed a kick up the arse then that surely has to be it!!!!
So, weighed myself this morning....... 11 stone and 7.5 lbs. I seem to be up and down like a yo-yo!

Running 1 - 0 Diet
Right, here again!! Weight's up and down...... Nowt new there then!! It's always the weekend that causes problems, whether I'm at work or not!! So, guess I'd better be good for week then!
The running is going OK, set myself a schedule, and, for the first week (last week) I have kept to it!! This week, the snow had fallen outside and I really don't like to run in the snow..... I find it really scary!! Anyway, we'll see how it goes!!
Feeling good today! Had a nice chat with one of the Managers yesterday, went quite well, not like a certain someone else expected but there you go!!
Right, must get on! It's 10:30 am and I'm still in my dressing gown!! Not starting work till 2 though!! :)
OK, it's now the evening..... This morning I did a run on my treadmill....... O M G!! I ran for 4.35 miles and it took me 53 mins and 51 seconds..... Now here is the good bit........ I did it none stop!! So pleased with myself!!! Brilliant!!!
Bed time now!
Night night!!
