preparing for a marathon, where do i start?

gooooood afternoon fellow bloggers? am sooo over the moon that ill participate in a marathon!! the Stanchart marathon is on on the 23rd of this month and ill keep my word on this one and run for a good cause! yeah, its 42kms and Sally and I are doing dis!

so where do i start, should i start jogging, sprinting, or walking. considering av done great cardio work and strength training, what is required of me?? so questions, questions, questions!! 

nhu, ION, am looking forward to see how this whole diet plan workout, am looking to incorporate loads of greens and water , as for carbohydrates nd proteins am still eying potions!

so if anyone has ideas as where i should start with the marathon and other related topics, al be happy to hear from you..

love, fatcat!

weigh in: moment of truth!

so today i had to know my current weight, the last time i had weighed in i was 70kgs, shockers yes, no? nway, i had come to accept that i'm a big boned girl until i heard in the comedy MIKE and MOLLY, bones don't jiggle!! which is true!! though due to turns and topples of life i added weight from a constant 66kgs, when i never even exercised!

so after hunting down a weighing scale in town, i found out that one went for around 1,600 kshs, whhhat? i knw!! mum had promised me one if i found somewhere to buy. so am still looking for one, cheaper, that is.. 

back to today,as i was undoing my hair it came to me that we have a gym in our estate!! yeah, though i dont use it, it dawned to me that they might have a scale! so i went and shamelessly asked Walter, the trainer if i could weigh!! i was sooo traumatized the moment i laid my first foot on the scale, the stick ran to 76-80kgs!!! Good grief!! so i stepped out and asked him, is this thing working? he said, yeah, just balance your weight and youl see. so i did! 67KGS!! PHEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!! i nearly fainted! nway, 

i had set my ticker, that ka thing up there, to 66KGS hoping that as of today that would be my starting weight,  but all hope is not lost, 67KGS is not a bad thing...but i stilll want to loose a couple here and there.. am on a mission, nd ive seen girls whose are big boned and still working out and loosing those extra GZ. yeah ive been told its impossible, and cant be done but ive been doing it, even with those doubtful comments, nd looks.

any way.. so its official:as of, when is today? 6/10/2011 fat cat:

 weighs: 67kgs 

waist: 31''

hips: 40"

neck: 13"

arms: 12"

so as my next session start in 30 mns, im still looking for a good diet to complement my exercise! coz this girl can munch. i dont want to go overboard but im sure as i eat healthy ill be okay. so if any one has recipes and suggestions hook a sister up!!

love you and God bless you!

FAT CAT MISERIES

oh my feet are killing me!!aaaarghh.. but soo worth it!! so, today i had promised my girl Joy i was going to take her shopping! so if u live in Nairobi nd u r a "vintage" shopper u r familiar with en route MUTHURWA-NGARA!!! yeeeeah baibie!!! so after morning laundry i decided to do F.B.C, then i go. two minutes into it KPLC decides its not going to happen, the disk got stuck so i decided to do CIRCIUT 2. two mins again, the lights are back i had 45 mns to go.. lucky enuf lights came, but kept coming and going but in 50 mns i was soo glad it was over!

since i live in the other end of the world, i had to call the bike guy, he was out of reach, ooh the mid day sun hit me with no remorse, by the time i got to the road, 30 mns later,  i was already drained nd hungry.. to top it all up, the Uhuru highway jam, kept me on the road for another 1 and 1/2 hrs!

when i got to town i was super hungry, then this guy decides to hit our mat at the round-about,i jumped out nd literary ran to the bus station. all av had today as lunch is: about 11/2ltres of water, 2 bananas, a passion fruit and a 1/4 cup of yogurt! super hungry!!

nhu, we got great stuff at very very fair prices, tho the unforgiving sun haunted us, we made it, barely, to Ngara, oh people if you have money, this is the time to shop, blazers r going for 150kshs and the most expensive it got was 400kshs! i knw right?

though i was purged to a near death, am greateful to God that ol went well..

till my next post, i love y'all and be kind to one another,

#super hungry-tired-sleepy-fatcat!!

yess! theres a word like that!! either in my head or on google! so i took a 2 day break! yes and though it was weired i loved every minute of it, the free loading days comes once a month! so no i had to spend them , here i what i had out of the ordinary..... waiiit for it........ three pieces of a rum and raising chocklate! imagine frm a whole bar, that was my reat, and a piece of Spout chewing gum!! it was torturous!!

so i bought mum a bar of choku and waitill she opened them.. i was hoping that she didnt coz i know i caould go to town on those bad boys!! which i didnt, i kept going to and fro asking myself if they were worh another bite..this was after the first three.. i was like a mad man.. i was talking to myself, this was a test!! i opened the closet and pointed to them and said, " choklate, i knw u r there all purple and tempting, but today am making a choice, and i chose myself!!...."

am not kidding and the talk went on on till i talked myself from having another bite!! i dont want to knw if they are still there or not, i bid them fairwell

sooo my ptsoked part... my favourate artists have confirmed that they are coming to town, am broke but am soo sure am going, kwanza VIP tickets no jokes!! i feel like heaven is opening up nd we r headbagin' to it!! whaaaaat! and for me to sing my lungs out that nght, i need to be in shape, not vocal wise coz that i gave up along time ago.. if i make it there, oh i will take pics you bet!!

nhu, carb loading, thanks to my pal Joy i have a week supply of melons! am way half way have had, thats the word i should have used!! so am haviing a cup of sour youghurt, a glass of water, or three,, mostly three nd a slice of fruit, bananas, oranges avocados, they r in plenty nd a pineapple..

so between breakfast,(3 slices of bread, jam na half avocado), lunch, slice of starch (ugali/rice, vegies nd a fruit serving) and supper, ol i take is water large glases of water!! am always hungry, thats me soo i have to be super careful waht i have in between, thats where friuts come in..

progress, im getting realy good at ISO BIKE, yeah i can do 3 reps of 8ts!! i found a great guide from http://exercise.about.com/od/abs/ss/abexercises.htm
so this is how to do them..

lie face up on yo mat and place yo hands behind your head, lightly suportin it with yo fingers

bring knees into the chest and lift the shoulder blades off the floor without pulling on yo nek

rotate to the left, bringing the right elbow towards the left knees as you straighten the other leg

switch sides, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.

continue alternating sides in a pedaling motion for 1-3 sets of 12-16 reps

#fatcat!!

oh its friiiday!!

thats what i kept saying to myself when the thot of giving up dashed thru my miiind!! i could barely get up, the weather was great, cooozy and had the telly going on!! whoooooooooop woop!! i dint feel like moving let alone work out!! "ive been working out since monday, si i let today flow under the bridge".. i kept thinking.. thirty more mins ..till work out time.. fifteen PAST workiing out!! are you serious now!!?

the this scene from the telly came up and the family was working out, that was it, i knew if i dint then tommorow nd the day after would be more difficult.. so i matched down, picked out my trainers and it was SOO ON!!

i dint feel like it, but had noo choice, started out well nd before i knew i was done with the bands now i was soo looking forward to try this abs exercise i found a trick on how to do it.. the ISO BIKE, oh ive been doing it since i got the hang of it but its a ripper!!

nway, i feel good, i dont knw if much has change within me but am glad that God has been faithful to me.. got a big smile, warm socks and the telly to myself.. so al enjoy the evening, not think about tommorows exercise, doubt much. but al be happy till them..

good night my peeps!! love eachother ndbe kind to one another..
#fatcat!

on a lazy day..

though today started off as a lazy day, must admit the thot of dozing in the middle of the day was really tempting. so i was all armed not to sleep but went on a quest to watch the only series series in the house i hadnt touched, "The Good Wife''. i ate ugali so u can imagine how hard it was not to sleep, nhu 2.30pm and i shrugged off, arrgh 30 mns to workout time, then it was three, 15 mns wongt hurt.. the next time i woke up nd 15 more had passed nd i had no sign of starting to workout.

i dragged my feet and one by one started dressing and organising myself, after the warm up all that was in my head was, im soo not doing this!! what? i knew i was heading for a downfall, i looked at the bands and said to myself, LETS DO THISS!

oh it was soo on, i did the first moves and after a while only 20 mns had gone by, 25 more, i thot. then i just shut my mind and really got into the workout, its realy lonely doing a workout alone, and you are the only one to decide whether you stick to it or not, nhu, i jumped up doing jumping jacks, sidekicks punches then the best part of the workout came when Mr. Blanks said, thats enuff of resistance training for the day!! HALLELUYAH!!

After 5 mns i was done but the monster was coming, 10mns trainer! oh Tony Horton, u couldnt tourture this girl.. today i was determined to do atleat 4/10 moves and with perfection!! crunches, golden gate, tick-tock kick, bicycle crunches everything!! i was in the zone! when i was done picked up the bands and it was biceps time, oh it was great, and like Tony says, "Something good had happened"

am glad i didnt listen to myself worries, and woked out, i feel soo great, like i can run a marathon, not today though, am good thank you.. it takes a little bit of your will nd determination..but the end results are the ahaa moments!! nd little by little u get better..
till next time!
AHALLA!!
love eachother nd God bless you!!
