  • I've lost over 12kgs since the beginning of this year, and I've been asked if I'm anorexic! I hate the fact that just because you want to make a change in your life - a good change that is, that other's think there is something wrong with you!! :(

  • .... you chuck a sickie from work just so you can attend a running event .... you see someone else (a stranger) running on a treadmill near you in the gym or during a run outside and you immediately pick up the pace to try to beat them .... your lunch box consists of bananas/protein bars/canned tuna/nuts and raisins/rye…

  • Don't worry IndigoSue13, I'm in the same boat. Wk 7 day 1, I thought I was going to throw up just before I finished. Didn't help that the person on the treadmill next to me had bad BO. Days 2 and 3 for me were fine though. So I put it down to the 'scent' from day 1. Did Wk 8 day 1, today, and yes I wanted to hurl again…

  • I love my coffee too. Always 'use' to drink 4 or 5 cups a day, black, with 2 teaspoons of sugar per cup. Decided to cut the sugar out and try drinking it black. Three months later, now only drinking 2 cups of black coffee a day. Miss the sugar though, but seems kinda grouse now with how much sugar I use to have a day - and…
    in Coffee has calories? Comment by auntyp147 February 2015
  • Ohh, I only do 15mins - 30 secs speed, 30 secs normal speed, repeat this till the 15mins is over. I might give this a go the next time I'm at the gym and see what the calorie count is. :)
    in HIIT? Comment by auntyp147 February 2015
  • Yep def recommend C25K. I'm on week 6 now and really enjoying it. I'm a newbie to running and can't believe why I never gave it a go before now. Pace yourself and you'll be fine :D
