W1R1 done last night. To be honest, didn't think I'd even manage that, but I did. Think it helps that my daughter is doing it with me and she'll make sure we both continue. Not quite as nervous now even though found it hard

Getting over the door and making a start is fantastic. Completing the agony of that first run is too. Now you will build the self belief and over the coming weeks you will be amazed at what you can achieve if you stick with the programme.

Keep posting as there are hordes of lovely people on this forum who will cheer you on along the way! I've also found reading other people's journeys really inspiring and motivating. Good luck!!!
