Freezing but thrilled! 😁

So the ‘beast from the east’ is back and at six thirty this morning I looked out and saw it was windy. I had definite second thoughts about going out today! So glad I did though. It was freezing cold and so windy with winds going in all directions. My legs were really battling against the wind on every interval but I completed them all! I may have been practically begging Sarah Millican to say ‘that’s it you’re done for today’ by the end but I completed it. Before this process I would have given up half way through or not gone out at all. I’m so proud of the way this is changing my perseverance and attitude. I feel like this time I may actually succeed and lose the weight. It’s a good feeling!
