Sorry I've not been around....
Hi guys..
...as I say above, sorry I've not been around lately. I hope everyone is doing well and keeping focussed. Unlike me. Unfortunately I seem to have lost a bit of focussed and my mojo appears to have temporarily disappeared.
I've been having some hormonal issues and have gained a bit of weight. They've also left me feeling a bit 'yukky' and permanently pre-menstrual which isn't a whole load of fun. Thinking about it, this has spiralled a wee bit too so that I've been craving more carb-rich food, and have even over-eated when not hungry on a few occasions. I can feel that the urge to comfort eat - which had disappeared for so long - is slowly creeping back. Generally I just feel tired, run down and pretty blue.
So, it's time to take the bull by the horns and stop the rot! Ok, so there's not a huge amount I can do about the weight gain until the hormonal issues settle down, but I can stop it from getting worse. I can think about how wonderful I felt before Christmas and recreate both those feelings and the conditions that helped me to feel like that.
I'm starting the 21 days again today - and plan to see it through this time. I'm going to do everything I can to find the time to blog and catch up on your blogs - as they do help me motivationally. And I'm going to start listening to the R&T track again - which I haven't done for ages.
On the plus side, I started running again when the snow cleared and am still enjoying it. Despite 5 weeks of not running, I only went back 2 weeks on my programme so have now caught back up. It's starting to get tough (I'm up to 12 mins running 1 min walking x 2) but the sense of achievement is great and in 2 weeks time I should be able to run 30 minutes solidly. The next goal then is a 10K in early May which I'm planning to do with some colleagues from work and raise some money for Maggies Centres.
So...I'm off to catch up on all of your blogs, have a lovely curred root vegetable soup ready for lunch and a run planned tonight. Not so bad really...sure I'll find my mojo again soon. In the meantime, if anyone find it round their way, could they please send it back here ;-)
Take care everyone

Hope your soup is nice and your run a breeze... you're on your way again!
Have a fantastic day.
You know you are apart of the pctv family and it's great to see you blogging. You are what I call an honest blogger and you speak your mind. You gave written 63 blog since March 09 and I am sure you know that the people who blog regularly achieve more.
Stay in touch and keep doing the best you can

don't think the snow and bad weather has helped anyone's mood :( and it's still very cold......
