Wahoo, I actually went for a run in my five finger shoes!

Pretty boring day, but I'll go through what I've ate and done etc etc....

Considered going for a run this morning but due to lack of sleep these past few days, I decided to have a bit of lie in! Breakfast was my porridge and chopped apple ( thats the only fruit we had this morning!) with a pint glass of water! No tea, shock horror!

I didn't really do much but mop as I weren't feeling that great but forced myself to have a bowl of salad for lunch, minus any salt, pepper and flavorings! Not bad going for moi.

It was this evening I went for my run in my trendy shoes. I wasn't sure how my legs would feel especially as thses are not normal trainers but really they mould to your feet. It was fantastic to run in them and they felt so light!! I didn't do much running as I'm starting again but this is what I did...

16 minute run/walk, so 1 minute running straight off, followed by walking, until the 9th minute when my heart was really racing I took 2 minutes walking and then resumed normal on/off 1 minutes.



I've got to say I didn't feel that bad when I got in, perhaps because of the cycling yesterday and I guess I'm focusing on it atm! Anyways I'm not complaining. 

Well I actually dragged my ass out of bed at 5 in the morning...

And went on my bike ride, twas only half an hour but it was a start. Looking on google map, it was about 2 - 2 1/2 miles long. Not bad going, although I swear when I got off my bike back into the house, my heart fell out onto the floor and all life drained from it! Breakfast was an apple before I set off and afterwards a pint glass of water with a bowl of porridge, milk and another apple chopped up (running low on fruit atm!) Pictures to come later when I get my USB cable tomorrow!

Gave into a cup of tea earlier (with 2 sugars - this is why I want out of my diet!) but the first time, I think my mind is in a positive and very determined mind set. Ended up having a pint glass of water!

Hoping tomorrow I can write out some kind of diet and run plan whilst starting out and then get get more exciting with my food!

Opps no-one knows anything about me really....

Well I'm a 26 year old smack bang in the middle of the UK. Drifted alot since A-levels, but kinda got to the point where enough is enough. Everything does interest me from travelling to fashion to science etc. I guess this blog might be a little theraputic for me as well. I've tried writing stuff down in a journal but it never seems to last. I think this time with hopefully a few followers and new friends I can keep this one going!

New day..new start 15th August 2010

What can I say apart from that the title of the blog shows I'm looking for a fresh start. After finishing a  relationship, I finally came to my senses, said I deserve better than this and went and did what I thought I would never do. Last September I was excited about the fresh start in college, wanted to cycle/run, eat well and get on track. Sadly it was not to be, however, now its time to make those changes!

This blog will get more exciting and interesting..(promise) and I hope to make new friends from this as well. The idea of the blog is to track my running and cycling alongside a MASSIVE change in my diet, not to mention in my life overall. I want to look back next June and say bloody fantastic, I've made it!!

What I want to do:
1. Get my cycling back on course (used to cycle loads when I was younger)
2. Start running (this is a must, I have some awsome five fingers trainers/shoes that need to used!!
3. Eat healthy, very healthy, I want to eat more raw foods, smoothies and I want my skin and hair to glow
4. Complete 2 GCSE's in Biology and Chemistry in prep for the access course that I want to take at Liverpool College which leads me onto point 5...
5. Get on the access course at Liverpool college
6. Get my NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social care
7. Catch up with old friends who I haven't seen in years and build bridges when necessary
8. And finally, a weird one, in that the person I talk about who I never imagined the situation I would be in now when we met last september and I adored him like no-one else, is that by next summer we can talk again and the anger and pain will have gone and the past has had a line drawn under it. Possibly the point I really want the most.
