Catch up

right, i have finally got a chance to update by blog. got a lovely cup of tea and the OH is off playing with the dog.
I have finished my second sponsored slim and i am pleased to say i reach my target of £100. Unfortunately i did not actually lose any weight :( this is starting to frustrate me now. I haven't actually gone past 2 stone. I reach it a month ago and have stuck round it by putting on a couple, losing a couple, putting on a couple etc.
to help me lose the weight i have decided to do more exercise, this will mean my weight loss might varie because i will be building up a little muscle. I have also decided to take part in the race for life in hartlepool, from the top of my head i think it July. I would really like to be able to jog the whole thing and get a decent time of less then 40 mins. i have a park near where i live that i have worked out to be 1.2 miles. If i can jog this 3 times then that will get me in good shape for the run and know that kind of time that i can achieve.
I have also started, from last night, to do the Natalie Cassidy DVD. Im hoping to do this 3 times a week, run round the park once a week (when the weather in nice) and do orienteering once a week if it is on. I think to help guide me i am going to do a rota every week with my menu for the week and exercise.
I have also started a new job working in a call centre for Vodafone. Not a very exciting job but at least its money coming in and it still gives me time to do my coursework. I have now started the foundation course in funeral directing and i am hoping to take the end exam in June. I don't have long to do the course, ideally i should be doing a unit a week :S scary stuff. If needed i have 2 weeks to complete a unit. This should take me to mid may, where i can then concentrate on revision and doing past papers. I have finished my unit one and am waiting for feed back, if it needs more work doing to it then he will return it. My unit 2 i am struggling with already but due to time. I have to visit a funeral directors and write a health and safety report. I arranged this a few months ago and have just been back in touch with the funeral directing company. The problem is they are open office hours and not at weekends. I also work full time. I am now having to take a sick day at work so that i can go to the funeral directors. Its worth doing tho because this is what i really want to do and i know i wont get sacked or in trouble for having a sick day.
Hopefully i will be able to report a good weight loss, or any significant weight loss, in the next few weeks.
