Monday 12th Jan to Sunday 18th Jan 2009

Sunday night - Am actually feeling quite positive about losing some weight. Earlier I watched Paul McKenna ans it made me think YES I can do it. I then did 20 minutes on the treadmill with ohhhhhhh 3 minutes of running! I can't help thinking that running would be easier outside Hmmmm...maybe one day! I think if I had someone to go running with I'd definately give it a go............in the meantime I shall just aim to do more on the treadmill. Would be good to build it up to much longer.

MONDAY 12th January 2009

Loads to do today - mainly tidying the house. Did go on the treadmill first thing this morning for 10 minutes brisk walk at 7.45am.........will go on it later too.

Well, just till tomorrow morning that is! Have eaten my daily, well, what I want to eat today and don't want to eat anymore ok! It's 8.30pm, therefore no need to be eating now is there?

OK I will admit to having a late night snack - haslet of all things (don't even really like the stuff) but it seemed an ok thing to have cos no carbs. BUT then ended up going hypo and needing some plain biscuits. Hmmm....blood sugar is such a PAIN to keep level when trying to lose weight. Am going to have to drop both background insulins I think and make more of an effort to reduce insulin BEFORE planned exercise. Trouble is I do not plan to exercise, I just do it when am not knackered and when am in the mood.Botheration.
Oh yeah, also did my nightly 20 situps........not syre if will do any good but makes me feel better!
Neil also did half an hour on the treadmill tonight, this is the 3rd night running which is brill. I think with support (for each other) and by motivating each other, well, all we can do is lose isn't it!!!!!!!! (Weight of vourse)

 Tuesday 13th January

I actually forgot to get weighed this morning (damn!), ah well, maybe next time!!!!!
Had ok day in work, afternoon was better than morning. Went for a walk at lunch time which was good, so now I have to go for a walk each and every lunchtime. Hmmm...I might even walk home romorrow as long as it is not pouring down with rain.
Going to go on treadmill tonight, I think, maybe, probably.

Came home from work yesterday feeling yucky. There's so many 'bugs' going round, a few of the nurses have them Arghghghg. Spent all day asleep, feel bit better today. so far!!!!!

Neil and J have been doing a lot of practising for the up and coming 1850 Project Gig. They have been going though the set list 3 or 4 nights a week. Neil said they are ok with the songs they have written but need to go over some of the covers they are doing. I am in charge of getting a venue organised and PA system and any other stuff. PHEW! Need someone to collect tickets on the door for us so am hoping my friends son (who is 21) will do that. J is inviting about 100 friends he said and we are having family and other friends. I am inviting some people from work too. Neil and J are only nervous in that they want it all to go along wihout a hitch.Tony has been practising at home which is good, he said he plays the cd in his car on the way to work most days. Neil and J are doing the singing and on lead guitars and Tony is on bass. J's cousin Chris is on drums. I must admit I am quite nervous about the evening but I am sure it will all go okay. The main thing is that they know what they are doing and that they are not messing round inbetween songs to sort themselves out. We could do with some full band pics. Neil said him and J will probably wear black shirts on the night. I am going to video the evening (or get someone to do that for me so I can concenttrate on making sure everyone is ok. Ohhhh I am getting nervous about it now! It's on March 28th.

Covers they are doing

Must admit, I am not a fan of these!

LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!
Would love to go see Elliot Minor, they are great. Might try go see them next time they in the North.
J went to see these (I am not a fan)
