This week

I really couldn't think of a title for this post so I just went for an easy one! Monday was back to work after my holiday, I got quite a bit of work done which was satisfying. Tuesday I'm thinking right now that I did something before work but I can't for the life of me remember and am now not even sure I did do anything... Wednesday I took Maisy to the vet for her 2nd vaccination and then I made muesli muffins before work. Thursday I worked the early then went to the gym. Friday I worked the late and had my eyebrows waxed before work. Yesterday was our Uncle's 65th birthday party which was nice. My cousin commented that I looked like I'd lost weight and that I looked toned. (thanks!)
I did have 2 slices of cake at the party but they were oh so worth it! Then last night we watched the England vs USA football match. I seem to remember complaining I was bored 20mins in but by the end I was getting very into it lol!
Today I went for a run which I enjoyed. It was only for 20minutes and there was some walking involved but it was good. I need to build up to running the whole loop and then lengthen the loop. My next challenge is a half marathon in October so I am training for that at the moment. This Friday I am having some patch tests put on to test for environmental allergens, the main aim being to see whether I am still allergic to latex. I will not be able to exercise when they are on as they easily come unstuck and exercise=sweat etc. So my plan is to exercise this week in general, some running, some cycling then next week after the patches have been taken off try and get into some routine with exercise and train regularly up until the event. Of course things don't always go completely to plan.
Once all that is over I haven't really got many plans, I have a wedding this weekend to go to :-) (with my patches on!) and have been busy the last 4 weekends but after that I don't have any specific plans as yet. Which will be good in terms of training.
There is an exciting opportunity to take part in a charity bike ride that is in 2 different countries and kind off off the beaten track. I am waiting to hear back with more information. I really want to take part though, it would be the trip of a lifetime. Thats the story for another blog when I know more about what's going on with that.
I have eaten some really healthy things over the last week and had a couple of different fruits to take with yogurt to work, but I have also eaten more unhealthy food than I would have liked to. I'm hoping to have my eating a bit more under control this week as I really do not want to put on weight. I think once I get into exercising regularly again I should be seeing the number on the scales go down. I really want to get into the 11stones, the 12s seem to have lasted forever.
