Back from Crete and running again!

Thank you everybody who replied to my post yesterday explaining that I only managed 1K after a weeks excess on holiday in Crete.

Because of your messages supporting me having a holiday rather than condemning the inaction, I picked myself up and went for a run this morning. I achieved 5K in 26 minutes. Really pleased and now feel buoyed to be careful with food too etc. T h a n k y o u !

Yay! Go you TTS. Knew you could do it. I put weight on at the drop of a hat and it scares me. I could so easily creep back up to banana 24 (double my current weight which is where I‘ve been) - but running has been the one thing that’s helped me maintain. I am so thankful for that. Not sure how I’d fare on holiday but one thing I do know, folks on this forum, have my back and the back of everyone smart enough to touch base within the forum. Thanks for that folks.
