Abesence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder...

It has been a LONG time: like 4 months long. But for relatively good reasons.........

Operation Fit and Fabulous weeks 7-9!

Okay so the round up of weeks 7-9 of Operation Fit and Fabulous is due: so here goes...

Running Riot!

Okay so I've picked up running and rather than dive in head first I have been following the Zest 60 Second plan, and you know what? It's ace! I hated running. I really honestly hated it after I got thrashed in the 800m race at school when I was 15. It was humiliating and it hurt like nothing before. And to be honest with you, I've avoided it ever since, I will jog my way to the bus stop if I have to, I will happily play badminton or ride my bike but running? No thank you!

So why running........?

Catch 22...

Firstly, let me apologise for my absence.. although now you should be much more fond of me! So, I am sorry I haven't posted in what seems like months. Secondly, let me explain why.

It's a Boy-Girl Thing

When we're young everything is centered around looking our best to impressed... Boys in particular. Now I have never been that girl, the one that cakes on the make up and dresses in the clothes that she thinks will impress the most boys. The girl who flirted and gave guys what they wanted... No I was never ever that girl.

Operation Fit and Fabulous!

So for the last couple of weeks we've been setting out on our little missions and  here it the basic round- up of how I've been doing...........

Me and My friend Emily... Feeling Fabulous at Pendulum!

Reasonable Doubt

So it's not news that I've started running. And so far it's going really really well, I've already managed 2 sessions of interval training round by the lake on campus. Kitted out in my rainbow running gear: (Red top, blue trainers, green earphones) I pushed myself for a full 30 minutes of interval training.

This is a massive achievement for me... But not everyone is so sure!

The Beautiful Campus Lake!

The Stride of Pride (not the drunken one!)

Today I received an email telling me that my beautiful beautiful Nike trainers had been dispatched, which means they will be with me by next week!! Not only that but I invested in some running capris and full length joggers (for badminton and volleyball) from Next today and will be donning my new gear tomorrow after mid-day.

Setting Tongues Wagging!

It appears that us Operation Fit and Fabulous are a topic of conversation among ourselves. As we update our progress in OFAF, it seems as if there are a few rushes of emotions, all different and all equally important. I've just read a blog by @ali_edgar (http://ali4edgar.wordpress.com/) and it seems we've set tongues wagging and thoughts spiralling.

Hitting Myself Hard!

Okay so the title makes me sound self abusive and apparently I am... just not physically. This week around campus I've notice more and more girls who seem really happy.. But are nowhere near my size. So I figured what better way to motivate myself to get off my backside and DO something than to spend £60 on the campus gym and £70 on a new pair of running shoes? Let's face it: no student is crazy enough to spend that kind of money without putting it to good use! I mean really that's £130 I could waste if I didn't use it!!!
