So proud of myself

So I have wanted to do this for some time but always thought I couldn’t!

I have just completed week one today and it was nice to finish it without wanting to die which when I first did it I couldn’t even breath or walk properly!

Can’t wait to start week 2!

Go slowly and you'll be ok. If your breathing is ragged you're going too quick. Going steady buys time No hurry! slow and steady is good for this caper. It's 9 weeks remember, so pace yourself

Have fun!
