Previously known as, Friday Fitday. 

Now, you guys know that I've been atempting some kind of weightloss for the past year. For the past year I have failed! But, now I have an incentive. 

My brother has made a group on Facebook called 'The Challenge'. He has challenged myself and a few of his friends to a weight loss mission. We have six months to healthily lose as much weight as we can. The one who loses the biggest percentage by then will get a prize from him. 

This week I have been tracking my food on MyFitnessPal, which you can feel free to add me as a friend on, and I've also been walking the dog every day. Which, if I'm totally honest, I haven't been doing until now. 

#FridayFitness will now become a weekly post where I can update you on my activities and favourite meals of the week, and of course any weight lost. 

I'd love to create a little community here, where we can all help each other and keep each other motivated. 

If you want to get involved, make sure to use the hashtag #FridayFitness on twitter and let me know how you are getting on. 

In the comments, feel free to leave inspirational quotes, meal ideas, recipes, or even exercise ideas.

I've also created a group page on facebook for anyone wanting to get involved. It's a closed group, meaning that anyone can see the group and join, but only members of the group can see what is posted. 

I hope to see some of you doing this with me! I think it'll be a great way to make friends, even if some of us struggle to shift the lbs!

Now you guys know that normally on a Monday I post a make-up look. Well I didn't want to bore you with yet another make-up less face, so I decided to do another little fitness post. 

On Friday I said that I had neglected walking and I really did feel incredibly guilty, so I've just completed three miles for today and I couldn't be happier about it. 

I'm most definitely missing the few things above though.  My poor four year old trainers just aren't cutting it anymore, as a matter of fact the only thing they are cutting are my heels. 

Headphones wise, I most certainly need an over ear pair, inner ear ones just don't work for me and I end up getting a headache. 

I already have one sports bra but if I'm going to really get into this training thing, then I need to make sure my ladies are supported and I could probably do with another one. 

Now, I know it's probably not a necessity, but I would love to have a water bottle that isn't so hard to hold, especially for an hour straight. Have you ever tried walking, holding onto a plastic shop bought bottle for an hour? It's hard and I always have to swap hands. 

Last thing I could do with is an arm band for my iPod classic. I'm currently stuffing it down my bra as I walk and if I'm honest, it's not very comfy or practical. 

Apart from that, I think I'm pretty set to get back into it and hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be walking a lot more. I'm hoping by the beginning of September I can walk five miles a day without batting an eyelid. I'm only planning on walking five days a week, so that would add up to a nice twenty five miles a week, and a whopping hundred miles a month. Now, I know it's not exactly Olympics worthy, but it would be a bloody great thing for me. Having never been a physical/sporty type, I think it's time I change my ways. 

Have you guys got any walking/running tips for me?
