So - PoppyPug requested an updated before and after photo given all the running I've been doing lately and the story of my journey to better health... I know it's not really September yet, but close enough eh?
Here you go PP. That's what 3 stone and 4 pounds shifted as a result of diet and (since March) proper exercise can do, all thanks to C25K and the non-stop and wonderful motivation from all of you lot... It's never got easier, but I've got stronger, fitter and more determined than ever to be this way for good...
I actually can't wait for the 8 Sep when I get to re-do my BUPA medical - I expect they'll be pleased with the progress since I last saw them... If you want proof that sensible eating and exercise works then I'm happy to provide it for you...
Wow, Aussie. That's amazing! What a way to hit home the benefits of sensible eating and excersise can make. To top it all, you've also grown 6 inches as well
Oh my goodness the difference is amazing Mr A ! They will be delighted at your medical . Apart from the obvious difference in your appearance the health benefits must be huge . You should feel really proud of what you have achieved. And as added bonus you found running and us lot so win win situation.
Thanks... having "you lot" kept me motivated, helped me through injury and has kept me "running right on through"... couldn't have done it without y'all...
Wow! Well done. An encourage post for people like me trying to stick to a diet (not always successfully!) while following the c25k (also not always successfully!!).
Good grief, Aussie, that's quite some transformation! Really mate, that's just amazing, in such a short space of time as well. It just shows what can be done with some dedication, commitment, and a group of loops who encourage you to sign up for race after race....
Thanks for posting; amazing progress, which you continue to make.
Marvellous progress... as to those Abs... try the 30 day Ab challenge... I'm on day 22 and for the first time ever I have some sort of Abs... free app on smart phone... :))
Crumbs!! What a difference! You look fab now. I'd hate to have your clothes bill though- all that running kit AND a completely new set of muggle clothes too! Well done m'dear, that's some transformation
Hi Aussie, that's all down to your dedication and willpower. I recommended your post and it really does show the benefits of this C25K program. Fantastic.
Wowee that is a wonderful comparison photo!!! You must be so proud of your accomplishments. You look so happy and healthy in the 2014 pic. Bloomin' marvellous
