Back to it!

I faced my irrational paranoia about running today and went out with Andy for half an hour (Mam, thanks so much for sitting in with our sleeping son). I wouldn't go as far as to say I enjoyed it, but it was more manageable and I actually completed it properly. Granted, my jog was the same speed as Andy's walk, but I have only got 29" legs, so what do you expect?! I am certainly enjoying the sense of achievement that has came with doing it as the programme suggests. Andy was a great "training partner" as I don't feel remotely self-conscious around him.

I wore more appropriate gear today too. This massively helped me! Although I looked pretty silly in it...

Here's me goofing around before the run; I didn't look so cheerful after it!





I was so tired after doing a Parent's Evening tonight at work, but I had been a good girl! There is always an array of goodies on offer during such occasions- quiche, sarnies and cakes, all of my favourites! I ignored them and opted for a banana! It got me through and was 0 points on Weight Watchers!

After our run I made us chilli (made with lean pork mince) with a huge zero ProPoints salad, and two mini wraps (3 points). It was really nice but very hot and spicy!

I'm going spend the rest of the evening reading The Book Thief in bed! Thank goodness it is Friday tomorrow! A weekend with my boys, and celebrating the 1st birthday of my little star, Daisy, awaits me!
