Get Set Go!

Anyone that knows me will know I am not the most active of people. Yes I have three children and run around after them but to be honest that is my exercise. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer....On my bum basically!
I have been desperate to change this but find the thought of going for a run a bit daunting, I am so self conscious I find that the thought of me running or doing any kind of exercise scary.

I have never really spoke about my feelings towards exercise and my appearance but I do get in a fizz and worry what people might think. Having had children I am not toned and become fully aware that during exercise I am thinking,  "What if my wobbly bits are wobbling!"  That's my thought process on the whole thing anyway.

I wouldn't describe myself as overweight. I am 9 stone, but for me that's a stone more then I have ever been. But I still have the same body worries as everybody else. If anything my back aches so much that I am hoping it'll strengthen my core and improve my posture so I can stand for longer then 10 minutes without it aching. I did try some sort of challenge last year - Race for life. I had a year to train, did I? No - and I felt like I let myself down. I even bought a lovely pair of trainers that I have worn once - on the day of the race!

Tracey at Tracey Barrow Photography  Cathie from Cathie Heart Photography and Catherine at Bouncy Bally Blog are also doing the challenge. I have never met these ladies before but who's know friendships are formed in all kinds of ways.
I will blog everyday about the exercises and see if I notice an improvement you can also follow me on Facebook . I hope it won't be a long 8 weeks!! This is a challenge and I will face it. It's bloom-in freezing though may have to do my jogging in my faux fur coat! Brrrr!

Now where are my trainers?

I will not be put off by the weather! Yes that is snow! :-)
