Today I will actually do some moving!

30^th April 2012

I am a slow runner, but I never run backward!

Well that went quick to say yesterday I mostly spent sitting around doing nothing, trying to make the day last forever!  I have nothing to tell you about my day yesterday because nothing happened, I did nothing more than sit in front of the tv not really watching it!

We’ve just had an amazing sunrise and at the moment (don’t want to speak to soon) it isn’t raining.  I would very much like to run today without getting wet!  I know I can go out in the rain but its really not so much fun is it! 

Tomorrow is the first day of May, Weight Watchers is challenging you to sign up to our Move More Manifesto. People who move more benefit from proven weight loss and health benefits, including protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, and we’re here to help you get started.

The Move More Manifesto is a simple way for you to pledge that for the next 30 days, you’ll start taking small steps towards a more active lifestyle.  To sign up and for more information go to the webpage http://www.weightwatchersmovemore.co.uk/ 

There’s lots of information in their about how to get started, how to make small changes in your lifestyle that can make the world of difference to your activity levels, whether taking the stairs instead of the lift each morning, getting your bicycle out of the shed, or exploring the countryside on foot at the weekend, moving more doesn’t have to be about personal trainers and expensive equipment. 

We all know how important friends are, but they can really make a huge difference to getting active. Finding an activity you can both enjoy, such as attending the same aerobics class, is a great way to force yourself to stick with it on those days where you are lacking motivation! My mate is my running coach and she’s been giving the challenge of getting me running further, one I don’t envy and I can share with you that when I run behind her I call her everything but Lynne under my breathe!

If you lack the energy and motivation to get active, you might want to look at how you are fuelling your body. An unbalanced diet can cause you to be constantly tired, rather than full of energy and ready to move more.  There’s even information about that on there too.

Well I’m off to have a quick read before I go take Alfie out, or maybe I’ll read it later as I’m still in shock that its not raining!

Have a great ‘day!
