Time to start again

So, a tale of woe. I had to go away to Yorkshire for a while to be with my daughter after she had surgery. I got in a couple of long walks, but that was it. Then I had a chest infection. AND THEN...noro virus. That’s not pleasant at all. 🤢

Fingers crossed, all those things are resolved now. I’m not giving up, or giving in. I know it’s doable, I know I can do it. So this is me, doing it again from the beginning. Same enthusiasm, same willingness to get going... 🏃🏻‍♀️

I’ll give it my best shot 😉👌🏼

Don't give up Pennycat. I struggled with work and illness halfway through week 3 I was really fed up and thought I was going to have to go back but am pleased to say it wasn't as bad as I feared and have now just completed week 4. Keep going - I'm sure you can do it. 👊
