I suck. I officially suck. I have come to the conclusion that I am such a lazy cow it isn’t even funny. I have zero will-power and zero conviction. I cannot get my arse off the sofa for just 15 mins of exercise 4 times a week. On Thursday, I will be measured again for the first time since we started and I am pretty sure that I will have made no progress whatsoever. I have got progressively worse. Let me remind you of what I ought to be doing:
- 1 min walking / 1 min jogging for 1 mile, four times a week
- Nightly exercises, every night (20 push-ups (girlie style), 20 lunges, 20 squats, 30 second plank, 30 seconds side-planks, 10 stomach crunches)
- 30 minute brisk walk, 5 times a week (lunchtime)
Let me tell you what I have done in the last seven days:
- 20 minute slow stroll around the shops (yesterday)
- Rush to catch train home (yesterday) including running from work to Bank, between Central Line and Bakerloo Line platforms and then from Bakerloo Line to the mainline station platform.
- 1 x nightly exercises (yesterday)
That’s it. Nothing else. It’s shameful. I really have no excuse. Let’s now look at the food requirements:
- 2 litres of water a day
- Healthly breakfast everyday
- 4 pieces of fruit a day
So far this week I have skipped breakfast once, drunk about 500 ml of water in total over the two days (but buckets of tea) and had 4 pieces of fruit in total. Again, shameful.
GRRRRRRRRRR


Kate, I don’t know how anyone could keep up with that exercise regime, it sounds horrendous! Sounds like you are having a fantastic time at work at the mo, I miss it! Miss you too – hope to see you soon when I am back in the UK (staying in London first week Oct so maybe one day that week) xx
Aw thanks Claz. I miss you too honey. We must definitely meet up when you are back. I will email you separately…xxx
