and so it begins....

Ripped in 30 days has officially started in the murph household. More on this later!

It has been a kind of a mixed bag diet and exercise wise. Will start with the good things:

Highs -
I ran my fastest 10k ever - 58 minutes 9 seconds
We signed up for Leeds half marathon
I also ran my fastest park run - 29 minutes

Lows -
My weight is up and down so I don't feel the benefit of the hard work running
We signed up for Leeds half - counting this a high and a low as I remember the agony of training last time. Also remember that hours spent running did nothing for the numbers I saw on the scale
My husband can run 10k in 48 minutes and 5k in 23! Think I am just going to have to learn to suck it up and deal with it.

I have a plan though. I have been researching runners diets and I am working on a way to bend slimming world to fit in with it. Don't think it would be a good example for a sw consultant to not follow the plan. I am sure it can be done, it just needs to be properly planned out.

So RI30 - I ache. BUT nowhere near as much as I feared. I am not expecting the same results as the person who inspired me to give it ago, I carry alot more weight in that area than she does. So I'll be happy to just see a reduction. We're booking a holiday on Saturday - motivaion I need hopefully to get my body bikini ready. Also in a nice shape for the baby I want to be growing in there by the end of 2012.

Will take my measurements and some more before photos today.

Aims for the next 30 days:

Carry on with Leeds Half training
RI30
Be on a runners diet
At least 4lbs lighter

Hmmmm wonder what I'll be posting in 30 days!
