Festive Mantra 5

To welcome back UnfitNoMore from his falling off mountains. To the tune of “White Christmas “:

I’m dreaming of a fit Christmas,

The kind of day I’ve never known,

When the stars shine brightly,

My legs skip lightly,

My lungs are never overblown !

I’m dreaming of a fit Christmas

With every run that rushes past:

May the pounds just melt off at last,

And may all our Christmas runs be fast.

Happy Christmas running, everyone !

Congratulations BCK on another presentation of your version of Bing Crosby's White 🤶Christmas, excellent. The problem at this time of the year is that people who have lost weight during the year, whether dieting, exercising, or completing C25K, etc, but with all the extra food around at this time of the year, parties etc, they can gain weight quickly again without realising it.

I am a little lucky in that there is a limit on what I can eat, my weight has remained fairly steady at around 67 kilos / 10st 5lbs over the last few years, since I started C25K and graduated I have only lost a few lbs. It does amaze me that there are some people who started C25K at 20 stone and graduated at 15 stone, well done to them. 😊

You’re right, AlMorr - the programme itself wouldn’t do that: it takes a great deal of discipline and constant healthy choices.

I forgot to tell you mine BCK, my all time favourite Christmas song is ‘Fairytales of New York’. Good luck with that!! If you can’t let me know and I’ll think of something else. Thanks 😊
