Just when you thought I'd gone away!

I'm back!!! Life has been hectic of late... but what's new?
The gym is going well- fitting in an update on my blog before my next gruelling session!
The weight now seems to be dropping off- 11lbs loss to date- that's a whole dress size and boy do I know it!
I may need to go shopping before I lose my trousers completely!
I went into work on Tuesday to run a raffle and guess the eggs in the jar- £426.50 was raised which is a fantastic amount!
Grateful thanks to all who supported and those who donated prizes.
Take care all and speak to you soon!

A better week

More focused on the health side this week and managed to lose the weight gain from last week!
Having problems with the Sportsman's dinner but there again what's new?! This may be the most expensive holiday I've ever had if the fundraising ventures don't pick up!
Will speak soon.... Shirl

Muscle weighs heavier than fat!

Bad week this week! Think I've suffered from post race night blues but only resorted to drink on one night!
The gym is going well and I'm not out of breath nearly as much.
E-mailed the other trekkers but no response as yet.
Apart from that life is hunky-dory!

Race Night...

The family all went out for a pub meal prior to the Race Night and it was awful- little did I know that this was the shape of things to come!
We arrived at the Hall, set everything up and waited.. 3 people came, then another 1 and that's how it went on despite promises from numerous people that they would come! A good learning curve... always sell tickets! And don't hold the night just before payday in January!!!
Anyway, with the 15 there (including my hubby, son and his partner running the show) I decided the show should go on!
Everyone enjoyed it and we managed to raise a further £189. Many thanks again to all those who attended.

Weekly progress report!

I've been to the gym twice this week since my induction. I would have gone tonight but I'm full of cold again and my head is about to burst!
We checked out the equipment this week ready for the race night so all's going well.
Lots more donations for the raffle this week- to the point where I'm now organising a sportsman's dinner- can women go in man-drag?
Also got 2 Justgiving donations from colleagues at work- thanks again!

Gym induction!

Well I made it! I've been inducted and I now know how to set the cardio machines to mountainous ranges! I also ran up the staris at work today and didn't need to stop for air!
I've been featured in the Widnes Weekly News- the Mail has yet to get in touch but I guess it won't take them long... mind you for the Emmerdale fans- you do realise I'm married to the Hotten Courier's John McNally!!!
Busy week ahead chasing up more raffle donations so I'll update you all then.
