I don't think I'll be making it to Wimbledon..

Can I just say, playing tennis when its scorching hot is not a winner when you are carrying the equivalent of your best mate around in extra weight! But still, off we toddled to the Tennis Courts and as much as I can't believe I am saying this - I actually enjoyed it! My first few hits of the ball were utterly ridiculous - Poor Matt was running around like a loony trying to return my wild shots, but once I got into the swing of it I was actually not too bad. Even if I do say so myself. Maybe that tennis holiday at 14 actually paid off :)

We played for about 45 mins and I was sweating like the proverbial, but I really think its something I could get quite into. My shoulder is killing me today, I still suffer the after effects of the torn rotator cuff, but I guess that will get better with time. I did have a wobbly moment when a couple turned up, all kitted out in full on tennis gear, sun visors, sweat bands etc and got onto the court next to us, I was expecting to feel utterly humilated at my complete lack of ability - but actually - they were worse than us! Oh how I smiled when I had to keep returning their balls... just goes to show, things are not always how they seem.

We stopped off at the pub afterwards for a pint of Lime and Soda and we were both really trying hard to ignore the massive picture of the "Ultimate Burger" in the beer garden!! I was literally salivating looking at it - you can imagine how attractive I looked, red, sweaty and dribbling! Fortunately we had some Tesco Light Choices Quarter Pounders in the freezer. Flipping heck - how nice are they?? Only 3 points each, topped with 30g of Les Kol and popped in a WW Pitta with Onions and Salad - Hey presto, our own Ultimate Burger for 6 points. Had that with 2.5 points of Oven Chips and it was heavenly. Oh I am good.

Was meant to go spinning this morning, but I had to do some work at 6am - so clearly my motivation was then out of the window. I will finish at 3pm today though so I am going straight to the gym. Fact. My running made easy book arrived yesterday, and I actually think this is something I am going to give a serious go. I often have dreams (wierd I know) where I am running really easily around a track and I love it... so maybe its meant to be... Ha ha ha. Anyway, week 1 involves running (they say anything speedier than your normal walking pace classfies as running) for 1 minute, followed by 3 mins of walking and repeat 4 times. I might start off on the treadmill at the gym so I can get a good idea of what I am actually capable of. I am sure I'll be a panting like a sweaty mess by the end of it but I guess thats the idea.

No major plans for the weekend so I have no reason to stray off the WW track.

All in all, I am feeling pretty damn pleased with myself so far. Long may it continue.
