Thursday 23 August Day 79

O....M....G....!!! a month...a whole month has gone by and I haven't done a thing!! Nothing!! Plus I've put on a shed load of weight...what is it with me and sugar?!!!
In my defence I've had a very busy month...2 weddings, family visiting and lots of other lovely social events.... though I do admit that I am a lazy trout and love it!!
So my plan is to have a lovely little cycle on Saturday, another on Sunday and then from Monday PANIC PANIC PANIC!!! GYM GYM GYM!!! CYCLE CYCLE CYCLE!!!
''TC'' has vowed to take the velvet grove off and get the iron fist out!! Eek!!
On that happy note...adios!!
Ps...nude photo shoot for calendar definitely happening on Sunday....shaking in my shoes....oh er...if I'm wearing any that is!!!

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...
