Goodbye Week 7 - Hello wedding outfit!

Blimey what a slog run 3 was - I had a really heavy weekend, busking (jiving) in Southend for three hours on Saturday and then a party in the evening another 3 hours of jiving - so I started out a bit jaded. I didn't really want to get out of bed and had to give myself a bit of a pep talk, but once I was in the gear, I was up for it. Although I ran at about 9am it was already very humid, and I really had to drag myself around my route - but I did it and I am glad I am not running again until Saturday. One of the reasons that I started running was so I could look good for my sons wedding - well the big day is on Friday and I feel that I look a whole lot better than when I started, I have definitely lost weight and feel more confident for it. Just keep your fingers crossed for good weather! Da da dada, da da dada!

Jiving must burn off tons of calories!!! I'd love to learn to jive and all that malarky.

Congrats on dropping some weight for the wedding. I have a wedding coming up and not bought a frock yet. So many to choose from now I'm not the size of a house

Have a great day !

Yep jiving is pretty full on, but for all that and the profuse sweating, I never seem to lose weight - but I have been dancing for 16 years so I think my body thinks pah! easy! So it got a bit of a shock when I started running, my partner can't believe how the weight is falling off! Its great when you can wear anything and feel good about it - if you want to learn to jive go to ceroc.com/ its fantastic fun!
