Welcome!

Hello,

Welcome to Settee 2 Set Go, a blog about a regular mum's attempt to get fit ready for the 5k Race for Life in October 2013!

A little bit of background: SO last year (2012) I decided that I was going to run the Race for Life on behalf of my dad (who passed away in 2010 from Leukaemia.) As I had missed that year's race I decided I would aim for 2013 instead...giving me longer to train and a better chance of actually making it! I went once a week to the track to run and train with my wonderful friend and I managed to drop a stone and manage 10 laps around the track before the nasty weather hit. Needless to say the motivation kinda took a hike to warmer climes leaving me in the cold, comfort eating pit. Fast forward almost 9 months and I've decided I actually better start getting myself back on track! Well...after a day like yesterday I need to do SOMETHING!!!

Yesterday: Yesterday went something like this: Grump grump grump, I'm so fat, grump, ugh, where's my motivation?, stomp stomp stomp, oh yeah I have chocolate cake in the house...

...and that was pretty much how it looked...minus the encouragement of the crowd. I didn't need encouragement.

THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW! I needed to change, and so the change was made with immediate effect, and the following is how I am planning to implement that change:

GOAL:

To run the 5k Race For Life in October 2013

Mo's Settee 2 Set Go To Do's

• Sparkpeople.com 28day Bootcamp once a day. (Then maintain.)
• Couch-to-5k Three times a week for 9 weeks. (Then maintain.)
• No more chocolate! It's GONE PEOPLE!
• 8 glasses of water a day.
• Blog my progress...or no progress...well just blog whatever.

and that's pretty much it for now. I think that's enough to get along with don't you think? I don't think it's too much as both the bootcamp and the couch to 5k start off gentle and build up as my fitness levels increase.

WISH ME LUCK!!!! CHEER ME ON!!! I CAN DO THIS THING!!!! BRING IT!!!!!!
