Forth the golden bird?

So after 3 unsussesful attempts at blogging I am back trying again with a forth one. The main reason is Bristol Half Marathon which is 7 weeks on Satuday. (Holy moly me, that has come around quick) I need a running diary, where I can record each run so on bad days I can remember how far I've come.

I have been following my plan - well minus one or two missed sessions. So I feel the training is going well. But and its a big butt, my weight is still going on. I could fool myself with the 'muscle weighs more' etc etc but I won't. Its possible that this is what is happening but its unlikely. So as of Monday I will be a slimming world member again. Dreading it, mostly because I am slight embarrassed that this time last year I was nearly at target weight.

I will have to try and not let this bother when I step on the scales on Monday. Will put it to the back of my mind and just concentrate on getting ready for Bristol. If I know I am eating the right things, this should help the with very negative body image I have allowed myself to get. When I weight this on my way to goal I was over the moon. Happy that my clothes were getting smaller. Turn that round and the weight is going up and the clothes getting bigger and it feels awful. All of my excess weight has gone back on to my arms and my stomach. The places I worked so hard to shift it from. Disappointing.

Anyways, I will stop feeling sorry for myself and get back to the point. Armed with this:

which was a birthday present from my friend, I am getting back on track properly. Its actually more useful than I thought it would be. When I saw it originally I wanted it as it has a section on running whilst pregnant. This was my aim for the year. But it hasn't turned out as planned so I'll go with training for this, losing weight and anything else is a bonus.
