Week 7 - not as bad as my head kept telling me!

So much of this challenge is in the mind. I was so distressed at the thought of no intervals when I started week 7. Even this morning my head was still telling me how hard this would be. And of course it’s so very achievable because the programme makes sure you are ready and our bodies are truly incredible. I’m excited to move on to week 8 now.

That’s brilliant, so good to be excited for the next stage! I’ve found myself learning such unexpected gremlin-fighting skills too 😁

It is so much a mental game, but once you've cracked that nut you are really on the home straight!

Keep it up, you're doing great! 👍🏻😁

Well done, you have reached the moment when you realise the plan does work, and so it will be for your last 2 weeks.

If you've got outspoken gremlins you might need to give them a stern talking to. Yes it's exciting. Enjoy your next 2 weeks. Not long to go to graduation. Well done!
