Second time around

Hello everyone!

So.... I got to week 8 last summer but then couldn’t continue for some personal reasons. Had a challenging year and only recently rediscovered the motivation to lose weight and get fitter. I started the 5:2 ‘diet’ about 5 weeks ago and have lost about 5kg, reset my account on here to feel like a fresh start, and just done my 3rd run of week 2 😁

Gremlins are still weird - even tho I got to week 8 last time I’m still doubting whether I can do week 3! Just ignoring those thoughts!

Anyway it feels good to be back 🙂

Hello SezSp & welcome back! Enjoy your journey. 😀

Yes, gremlins are strange- I repeat ed the program after illness & found those “I’ll never manage...” thoughts appearing. It’s easier to stamp hard on them when you have done it before. 😄

Welcome back, nice to have you along for a run.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I hear good things about the 5:2 diet, you just have to be determined and dedicated. It’s clearly working for you and that’s fantastic.

Those nasty little free loading gremlins! Grrrr..... you know that you can do this.

Coming back to running you approach it with the lessons you learned last time, you’re going to be great. Have faith. Good luck.
