New shoes!

So yesterday I achieved two things:

1. Completed Week 3

2. After my weekly weigh in I discovered I am no longer obese! Just fat! Never been so pleased to be overweight.

So what better way to celebrate than splashing out on some awesome new running shoes. My old ASICS were positively ancient and really heavy on my feet. As soon as I tried these Brooks Transcend 5 in the shop I had to have them.

Just gutted I bought them on my rest day so will have to wait until tomorrow to try them out!

Thank you! Seems strange to be so happy about it but obese is such an ugly word πŸ˜• here’s to being fat

SW got from from obese to overweight too. Almosr 3 1/2 stone lost now! Still losing a lb here and a lb there. But don't think I'll ever get in to the ok range.

Course you will if you keep at it. Slowly but surely. Just don't go mad at Christmas. :p

Love those shoes. Brilliant (in both senses) colour.

Brooks making some money out of this forum. That's the third pair they've sold this week already. :)
