Project Ripped

This morning we travelled from my Mums to Blackpool. We visited Blackpool Zoo and had a good walk all around and then checked in to the hotel late afternoon. In the evening we went for a walk around the Pleasure Beach area of Blackpool. The weather has been pretty awful today and I had planned [...]

This is the first Sunday where I haven’t done a proper “weigh-in”. It was impossible to do it where we were staying. There was no room and it was difficult to access the equipment we needed. I will have to have a bi-weekly weigh-in next Sunday – sorry!! Today was a planned easy day where [...]

We decided to spend a day in London. We woke up relatively early and caught the 9:21 am train to London Pancreas station. The journey only took 50 minutes and then we got on the tube to get to our chosen locations. We visited the London Eye which was absolutely spectacular. It took approx. 40 [...]

We had another trip to Legoland today. The miles of walking are starting to take their toll on us all. Waking up in the morning our hips, ankles and feet are aching. The weather today was excellent and Legoland was packed out. We got in early and enjoyed a few rides and the stunt show [...]

Today was another day similar to yesterday. After leaving our relatives house early this morning we drove down England to get to Legoland in Windsor. We spent the whole day there and didn’t get to our accomodation until 8:30 pm. After getting all of the gear out of the car and settling the kids down [...]

A very brief post today. We spent the day at Alton Towers theme park and then aftwards drove down to stay with a relative for the night. Upon arriving it was very late and there was little space or time to do any exercise. I am feeling a bit guilty about not following a program [...]

We were up at 5:30 am this morning in order to catch the boat. The day has been quite long we have longed for our beds to catch up on the sleep. I have been quite stiff and sore today from the gardening yesterday and any exercise today was out of the question due to [...]

It is the day before we go for a short holiday break. I have spent most of the day in the garden pulling weeds, trimming plants and generally making sure that when I get back that the garden and the greenhouse are still relatively under control and manageable. I always have that saying at the [...]

As I am now 2/3 of the way through Phase 1 I am hoping to see approximately 2/3 of the progress I might make by the time I finish my first 12 weeks. I have lost 3 lbs. of weight in the last week and I am hoping that this is fat loss and not [...]

I have been having a bad day. We have had a full house since Monday with my Mum and niece and nephew staying over. It is great to see them all and it has been wonderful for our kids to play with my sister’s kids. Yesterday afternoon they set off to take the boat back [...]
