Week off and Thursday blues

This week i have had the week off work and every time i do i try and do a mixture of relaxing and getting stuff done, seeing friends etc but is it just me that when you get to Thursday your like omg where has my week gone I've done nothing and only have days left until i have to be back at work. I then end up thinking i don't want to cram everything into the next few days and not have any time to chill but I'm now in a quandary what do i do? Chill at home surfing the web and watching movies I've just brought or do i make the most of the free time i have left arghhhhh.

I just wondered if this was just me? Do you all feel the same? Do you go back to work wishing you had done more or had more time to relax?

Ive had a lovely week off so far don't get me wrong it just the Thursday feeling and i wanted to share my thoughts with you.




See you soon

Keeping fit and sticking with it.

Hi everyone how have you all been? I've been thinking a lot lately, I know that can be dangerous but just keep with me for a second, I want to try and the word being try to lose some weight, tone up, cut out some of the crap food and exercise more. Knowing me as well as I do I get bored very quickly or I procrastinate and just say to myself I'll do it later and later never happens or say I've had a long day at work and I'm tired. So...... I thought if I put these thoughts out there for someone to see it may make me more determined to stick with it. I just thought it's worth a try and I was going to keep you upto date as much as I could with what's happening, how it's going and how I feel. So that's that.

I have hired a personal trainer for at least 10 sessions and i will hopefully be starting within the week. I feel i need someone to keep me on the right track and I'm also trying to cut out some of the crap food i eat, i can't go into this cutting out all food i like i will just crave it all the time and will not be happy. There may be a point where i will but for now I'm just cutting down and looking at portion size. If any of you have any helpful suggestions then please let me know.

I found my PT through the internet and she has been very good so far, initially i spoke to her on the phone, she then sent me some forms to fill out and she will look at those forms and decide on the right workout routine/sessions for me and then she has someone she works with come to mine (as she's really busy and fully booked herself) and he will then help me see the session through and she will also give me things to do when I'm on my own. The PT sessions will be Wednesday, Saturday then just Saturday the following week and we are going to see how that goes.
The sessions will be held at my home as i didn't want to go to the gym.
At first i wanted a woman PT but she was booked up and i just thought if I'm going to do this i just need to get a grip and do it! So i did i said ok to a male PT, some of you may think whats the issue but when you already feel self conscious about the way you look having a man see you not at your best well for me its a bit intimidating but I'm up for it.

Anyway wish me luck and once i have had my first session i will let you know how it goes and how i feel.

I totally forgot to add in a picture of the boys so i had to come back and edit it in. So here you go.
It wouldn't be the same otherwise ;)
