Been back at work today. Got in and thought, its raining again. Im tired. I won't bother . But then I changed my mind. I just got in from the run. I have completed week 1 run 3. Really pleased I did it. Have also not eaten cake, biscuits etc this week. I'm not missing them to be honest. Seems I am on a mission to change my wicked ways! Hope everyone is meeting their goals. 😊

Well done samcam! Hardest thing is getting out the door tbh - when I did this before I used to try and talk myself out of runs and I’d say to myself - get changed and just get out the door - once I was over the doorstep I’d always run!! And always feel better for it 🤣

Keep going - you can do it! And any tips on quitting chocolate?! ☺️

Saw your first post and hope you are sticking with it. I start this programme every spring after the snow leaves, and it really works. Trust it and believe in yourself!
