Ok so it's booked and paid for and I have just over 3 months to train. September 7th Yorkshire Tough mudder and to say i'm nervous would be the understatement of the year, i am actually cacking myself!!
3 years ago i was more that 3 stone heavier than I am now and I was totally unfit having never ran or exercised particularly infact I spent most pe sessions at school finding an excuse not to take part in any of the running.
After joining Slimming world in 2011 I set my target at 3 stone less than my initial weigh in at 12 stone and 9 pounds and it took just under 6 months to reach my goal.
I became more interested in exercising and would regularly go to the gym and to kettlecise classes twice weekly and ran at least once a week.
I cut down the amount of rubbish I was eating and increased the amount of Seafood and Fish and found my energy levels went through the roof. Although I had always enjoyed cooking and spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking all of our meals from scratch and ensuring that our children ate nutritious and healthy food, we tended to opt for creamy dishes which were much more calorific.
Now here I am a bit thinner and a bit fitter but I really do not know if i am up to this at all!! In fact i have no idea hiow I managed to sign up for it. I think it started out as a joke when a colleague had been asked by his partner to sign up and he was having none of it. After he told me about it he asked if I would sign up, ''no way'' was my answer and then after further questioning i responded ''Well I'll do it when you do!'' The very second the words came out of my mouth I immediately regretted them and in looking back I now realise that he was probably not as reluctant as I thought, cheeky little bugger!!
So that's it now plenty of Salmon and spinach and protein packed meals for the next 3 months and plenty of tough mudder training!
