Tomorrow I am off on my holiday. Whilst I know blogging about it may be advertising to potential robbers that is not a problem for me as there will still be people left at my house whilst I am away.
Today I need to drop something off at work that I forgot yesterday, then I am going to do some baking (flapjacks and fairy cakes) naughty I know but if you can't have a treat when you're on holiday when can you. Then I must pack! I also need to clean the rabbits hutch out.This evening I am off out for my friends sisters 18th birthday. We aren't going to stay out too late due to having to drive to Devon in the morning. Nor will I be having much alcohol, I am going to really play on the safe side with alcohol as I always do when driving is involved the next day.
I do have the day off today as were I not on annual leave I would have been working the weekend. I wouldn't have booked today off if I were due to work but it has worked out quite nicely that I do have the day off.
In other news I have been for 3 runs this week, actual outside runs and I have improved my time already. I was very impressed with how long I ran without stopping on Wednesdays run, I think the key is to run slightly slower. I have enjoyed the runs.
I'm not sure how nice the weather is supposed to be when we're away but fingers crossed it won't be too bad. My plan is to enjoy the holiday and then get on with being healthy, training for the upcoming runs and losing weight once I'm back. I am going to set myself a couple of post holiday resolutions once I am back.
By the way I got into a skirt the other day that I haven't fitted into for a couple of years and it was slightly loose :-)
Have a fab week all

Enthusiasm
I have been bitten by the running bug...well sort of, I haven't been for a run for a while as I have been doing loads of spinning classes instead but now I fancy doing both running and spinning. I need to get back into running. In all honesty even running a mile is a struggle for me.
I decided I would like to do an event around Autumn time so have signed up for this half marathon. And then today the entries for the only half marathon I have ever ran before (I have ran the same one two years in a row)opened so I signed up for that too, I think I may count as a regular at it now!
I am looking forward to the new one as it goes out through countryside and involves hills etc too. I am hoping to get a personal best for it despite it being hilly, I am hoping this time I will actually manage to stick with training. As for the one I've done before I really wouldn't want to miss out on a place so I've signed up!
I am looking forward to both of these challenges. I think it is good to have something to work towards. Lately I have had my holiday as motivation but with it now being 8 days away it is hard to become motivated for that as it seems too late for much of a difference to be made. I am happy with how I look in my bikini but would prefer a smaller tummy.
I am really enjoying exercise at the moment and love to see myself get fitter. I can't wait until my running improves and I can actually run for more than 2 miles without stopping. I actually think that would be a first for me as I have always been a run/walk kind of person.
In other news I had a nice birthday, my rabbit has been sexed as a girl so the name I chose is staying and I'm sorry it's taken me more than 2 weeks to update!

Maisy, food, exercise...
I got my baby rabbit on Monday evening, she is called Maisy until such a time that I find out she is actually a he! Lol. She is such a sweetie and has now got a favourite spot to sleep in in her run which is v cute. I'm looking forward to many years with her companionship.
My eating has been a bit unregulated the last couple of days, I wouldn't say I have gone mad but just not been particularly watchful. I reined it back in today. I did go to spin class yesterday morning but didn't feel particularly satisfied with myself afterwards as I found it really hard and didn't feel like I had done as well as I could have. Better than staying in bed I suppose. Plan is spin again tomorrow night and then I'm not sure when I'll get time to exercise over the weekend. Then Mon and Tues spin and not sure any further than that. Tuesday is my birthday and due to my working some extra shifts I have it off. I figure I will still go to spin as I probably wouldn't have got up to much in the morning anyway. Then home and shower followed by lunch with my mum and sit in the garden if it is nice (please be nice) then in the eve I imagine we will have a family meal at home. I am going out for a meal and to the pub on the Friday evening. This is the first time in 3 years that I have not either had an exam on my birthday or a few days after which has meant the last few were quiet ones. (I did have a party a couple of weeks after my birthday last year as it was my 21st birthday).
With all the birthday eating I can see next week may be a not losing weight week. However I am going to carry on doing plenty of exercise and try to eat as healthily as possible when it is not my birthday or meals out etc. My mum's birthday is the day after mine so there will be lots of goodies about but I shall just have to limit the amount I have.
So the rest of this week: tomorrow work and then probs spin, friday doctors appointment and friend over for lunch, Saturday and Sunday work and probs quiet evenings to save my energy.
