The curry night went well and a big THANK YOU to all the UBS crowd for their support and to BFGM for arranging the event. It was a lively evening! I'll say no more!
TC decided that as Arsenal were playing on Saturday we should watch the game (both being Gunners chicks) at the gym and exercise for the whole 90mins.....eek!!!
Well what a revelation...I was so engrossed in the game (though God only knows why as it was as dull as dishwater) that the time flew!!
Managed 60 mins on the bike and 30 on the cross trainer and Eureka!!!...actually got that elated exercise buzz....I'm so excited!
Of course...looked spectacularly attractive as always, tomato red cheeks, hair plastered to head...hmm, you get the picture?
Today TC decided that a different approach was needed and dragged me off to walk to St Aubin with Nev (her dog) setting the pace.
Came back by way of Westhill to visit the farm shop and back down Queens Road....am now exhausted and in need of chocolate...
On that note, I had another Eureka! moment yesterday...a slightly upsetting one...when I realised that the calories I thought that I was burning on my exercise bike were actually kilojoules!! How upset was I? And I thought I was compensating for all my chocolate!!
Oh well....back to the grind tomorrow!

Day 1 - Saturday 10th February 2007
Today is the first day of my countdown to my Cycle Vietnam challenge in November. Today I have: a. set up a fund raising page at http://www.justgiving.com/siobhanmartina b. set up this blog to track my training progress and no doubt many frustrations; and c. started my training. It has to be said that I'm feeling a tad righteous! In saying that I feel that I have to mention that my training took place on my exercise bike at home....come on!!...it's far too cold and wet for the real thing! I'm looking at about April for that!!! I've set myself a goal of doing at least 1 hour on the bike every day and have had the most wonderful idea of how to get over the tedium of getting nowhere slowly! Yes... I'm going to watch the whole series of 'The Sopranos'....series 1-6 in fact! When I've finished these I'll then move onto '24' ...again...every series available on DVD. But panic not my sweets, amongst all this toil, I will also be going to the gym....I'll be the one with the very pink cheeks at Fitness First! How come some girls look great exercising and some look like...well....me?! My stats on the bike for today were: RPM - 72 / SPEED - 28 / TIME - 60 mins / DISTANCE - 26.48 / CALORIES - 599 ( = 1 Mint Aero & 1 Ripple!) But as the old saying goes, 'The best laid plans of mice and Siobhans' or as my lovely Mother would say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions!'. Till next time...
