Nerves and Compliments taking it all on the chin. :)

Morning all, I have my next exam today, this is the final Anatomy & Physiology, last time was the mock. The mock went ok, but this time I am feeling much more confident. I have done the revision and I had some great help from Kit at work, he has been the only person who has been able to explain it to me and made sense. So a big thanks to KIT. I am sure it any questions come up about the heart I will have no problem. I am still nervous about today, but I think that is normal.
How do you all cope with Exams, any tips for me.

Another thing I wanted to say about is support. I have just been reading Jo's blog this morning and she spoke about support.
http://www.jagsfitnessblog.com/, if you have not been able to read Jo’s blog please do.
Jo is a great writer and has inspired me so much. So much so I have lost nearly 4 stone. I started reading her blog since January this year and have read every post ever since.
Going back to the idea of support.
Who is your biggest supporter. I would say mine is my Hubby Tony. Since being with Tony he has given me the confidence to do anything, if I wanted to climb a mountain he be able to get me to do it. He has supported me every single day and if there is anything I need to talk about or discuss I go straight to him before anyone else. I have always been confident, but did not really believe in myself, but now I feel I can take on the world lol. That’s what the love of a great guy can do. So thank you hubby for being there for me every day over two years.
He does not always say the right thing and we constantly take the mickey out of each other, but its the amount of support I get that I know that I will not get from anyone else.
Boy when he does give me a compliment I lap it up, rather than beating away the compliment, So If your man or a friend give you a compliment take it and accept it with pride, because you know what they really mean it.

Quick catch up and whats to come.

I hope you are all well, sorry I have not been about just life is so busy, I have my full time work, college for my gym instructors course, cycling, kids and hubby, not always in that order but all these things gets in the way of getting on the laptop.

I am back bloggers, but full of cold,I think I have been over doing it and have been cycling in the freezing cold, rather then getting the train. The worst part is hot and cold feeling.

I am feeling sorry for myself today watching day time tv which really is rubbish.

I have done some online browsing looking at new bikes I would like to get. My tank is great but it is to far to heavy for the amount of miles I have to do per day,so it would be nice to get something a bit lighter, any advice would be nice. If you have a bike what do you ride and why.

Today I have received my forms from Dolly today, I am going to start filling out the forms as soon as I am feeling a little better. I am hoping that will be tomorrow as I would like to get the ball rolling. As soon as I start my new training I am sure my Mojo will come back too. Also be nice to get back to a better diet and I really miss doing weights. Will keep you posted on the MOJO, as soon as it returns you will all be the first to know.

Today for the rest of the day will be spent resting so I am nice and healthy to get back to work tomorrow. Also today I will be revising for my Anatomy and Phys Exam on Saturday I have a good feeling about the exam, as I have been studying hard. Also with a days rest there is plenty of time for reading and revising.

So have a good week all and what is keeping you busy.

Want to kick the last half a stone to the kerb and my new class this week

As you all know I am on the guest to find the perfect figure. What that is I dont really know but I am getting close to really liking what I see. So I have half a stone to go until my next goal and then I will look at how my figure looks and how my clothes fit and then see If I want to lose anymore. At this moment in time I am thinking if I lose this next half a stone this could be my final goal, but ladies and gents I can not say for sure.

So my plan this week is to track my food every day, this is something I have not been doing at all for the last 3-4 weeks. So I will track everyday even if I go over on the calories.

I am trying Zumba at a gym in Covent Garden on Wednesday night, I have wanted to try it for ages but never got one near me or the right time. I am very excited as it looks great fun and a brilliant new class to try. I will blog after the class and let you all know how I get on.

Also this week will be cycling Monday to Thursday to work. Each day I am finding the ride a bit better so want to make sure I bet my time a little each day. Also getting to know how to take the hills better and have more control when using the gears. I am finding the cold wind a big incentive to cycle faster. lol.

What is everyone plan this week. What is something new your doing this week.

Kat’s Adventures in Dietland: Friday Favorite--Weights Are For Girls

Kat’s Adventures in Dietland: Friday Favorite--Weights Are For Girls: "This is one of my favorite posts, and an important message I think...so, please enjoy this Friday favorite: I love strength training. I love..."

160 miles this week on my bike. aka pinky

Hello all,

As you can see by the title I have travelled 160 miles and more on my bike.
I think I have had my bike about 3 or 4 weeks not sure. This week is the first time I have done 5 days on my bike commuting from Shirley Croydon to Charing Cross London. I am so chuffed to be able to do it. I am really enjoying riding my bike and cycling on the roads is a real eye opener so many people just dont care they cross the road regardless of the traffic and I have seen so many close calls. I still get a silly thrill about going though a red light, I must add I only do this if i know the road is clear and would not endanger myself or anyone else. Cycling has the highs and lows. my main lows is the hills, but I am learning ways to make them much easier.

I am cycling into work on Sunday and normally have plenty of time so will takes some pics of my route and put them on Sunday evening if I get a chance.

Does anyone else commute to work on a bike. Drop me a comment.
