My stomach this morning!
Marathon Training Begins…
So, yesterday 31st April 2012, I signed up for the London Marathon. As standard as this may seem to a lot of people, any one who knows me would probably have a little giggle at this. At school, I was quite good at running short distance - my 100m sprints were the fastest in my year. I’ve recently started running again and am safe to run about 3 miles now. That means over the next year I need to add 23 further miles to my current pace.
I do however, have one slight issue. I’ve been told I run in true Phoebe Buffay style. This ladies and gentleman is me and you know what? I don’t even care. I’m going to run those 23 miles, arms and legs in every direction and i’m going to kick butt whilst doing it… Or I could just work on my technique.
Hmm.
Girls… I just ate three slices of Dominos… A little treat every now and then will not ruin your progress! Only a little bulge!

Can anyone see a difference? My legs are the stubbornest hardest damn part of my body to deal with and i absolutely HATE them.
This is very much so a before/DURING. I have a good 20lb left to lose!
Just had my body fat measured at the gym. 24.8%. 0.8% away from athletic. So close! Come to mumma!
By may 19th I will have dropped that 0.8% and will be happy to celebrate my 21st!
this is my face today.
Help?
I squat. I lunge. I cycle, row and run. I swim. I eat well but my legs are not changing at all. Ive always had thick legs. Chunky thighs and big calves but no matter what I do they don’t change :( any tips?

looking at the first picture, then looking at myself now i just can’t even begin to explain how happy i am with how far i’ve come. i’ve got so far to go but i am so much more comfortable and confident in my own skin now to 5 months ago, i think this shows in these photos.

MADNESS

I have very vague memories of pulling various ‘muscle’ poses to this song on Saturday night. Oh life <3
