Very hot, humid and muggy this morning as I did 6.1. It was a bit harder than 5.3 but not much and I did it with no problems other than a lot more sweat and a persistently runny nose (sorry ๐Ÿ˜ฉ) Iโ€™m past the half way point now and have up to this morning lost 2.5 kg or 5.5 lbs which is great and really sustainable. If I carry on doing what Iโ€™m doing Iโ€™ll be at my first goal in under a year (Another 14kg, 30 lbs) more importantly I feel fantastic, my body shape is changing and my regular clothes are getting loose, I have tried some old clothes on and It wonโ€™t be long before Iโ€™m wearing them again ๐Ÿ™‚ I leave on my holiday in just over a week and am pretty confident now I will be able to carry on running right through with maybe a couple of delays but either way I will be graduating in Late January, seriously looking forward to that ๐Ÿ‘

Very hot and humid , I would normally say lucky you. But i remember running in our summertime and that weather can be a bit energy zapping.

Enjoy fitting in to your smaller clothes and enjoy your holiday ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

I have a wardrobe partially full of great clothes that I'm looking forward to wearing again. Now when they start to need replacing, which they WILL! I'll be celebrating :-)

Fantastic. You're really doing such a good job at this and it's so good to hear you're feeling the benefits.

I'm hoping to be able to get into a pair of trousers that I wore when I got married 7 years ago. Only worn them twice! Not there yet, but very, very nearly.

I had to double read your post as I couldnโ€™t understand why youโ€™d used the word โ€˜humidโ€™!! Forgot you were a bit further away. Humid ainโ€™t the word for today here!! That is so encouraging to notice a change in your shape and clothes. Well done!
