rest is best / weight change

[changing-woman]

i am listening to my body today, so i am resting . i just went for an hours walk around the city but thats it for my exercise today. i shall resume running tomorrow all being well. i hope i am doing the right thing. i just ran for a minute on the spot while making toast. what a twit i must have looked. ooh and since i started c25k, 4 weeks ago, with watching what i eat (but no more than that), i have lost half a stone! bonus !

Well done! 👍

I weighed myself this morning before eating and was surprised to be within 0.4kg of the weight I'd hoped to reach by the end of the year.

I first started noticing changes about Week 3, as did other people. I suspect the slight chubbiness had gone from the face by that point.

I was touching 82kg at the peak of my lockdown biscuit eating, which was edging into the overweight category, yet this morning I was 75.4kg.

I've not been that weight for seven years! At the time I was walking a mile every weekday, which stopped when I changed work location.

My trousers are now looser in the waist and tighter in the thigh area.

Aah. Weight loss. That might be the next test. I've lost about 5lb without trying over 12 weeks. Just need to ease off on those hobnobs and shortbread and that 3 stone will fall off (I hope!) It might make me run faster!

[nowster Graduate in reply to Rennur]

That's it! I would happily hoover up a packet of digestives or shortbread or ginger nuts.

And as for dark chocolate hobnobs...

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to nowster]

i love chocolate hob nobs....a lot...but really i am a toblerone girl...

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to Rennur]

honestly, i am thrilled re weight loss..

[changing-woman Graduate in reply to Rennur]

nothing would make me run faster! i am a snail, end of .

[changing-woman Graduate]

more rest for me today... tomorrow shall be my dancing day will walk around city again today. for my exercise. at least i am not on couch if i am doing that .

[changing-woman Graduate]

that hour walk seemed long! my feet and ankles are still a little sore but i will run tomorrow whatever...i guess at this stage some soreness is to be expected...i have read that on here actually...after all, more running is being done, as jo whiley keeps telling me to me shouting "I BL**** know"

[changing-woman Graduate]

well since then i had another days rest and it sees to have done me good. my legs still feel like lead (i just rote led- too many Christmas lights decisions) but i am going for it.

[changing-woman Graduate]

it's a sign of madness isn't it to talk to yourself....oh well i don't care. this is sort of like a diary that is helping me and not bothering anyone else so...

[changing-woman Graduate]
