I hope this doesn't sound like bragging - it's a post that should be read with a high pitched note of disbelief π
About ten months ago some of you may remember that Realfoodieclub encouraged us to think of three personal goals to aim for - short medium and long term healthunlocked.com/strength... Looking back I see I wanted to:
1. Add regular yoga sessions 2 to 3 times a week - I am now following Yoga with Adriene and have been doing yoga every day for almost 90 days β
2. Restart my strength exercises to get my weak left leg as strong as the right - hmm, I haven't really done this, but I have added regular cycling and yoga and some strength sessions so it should at least be less weak now (I'm taking this as a winπ€ͺ)β
3. Reduce my waist measurement to below the NHS recommendation - I am now well within guidelines having lost 2 to 3 inches since that post!
Wow! At the time I didn't really imagine I'd achieve all three. Just goes to show how possible the seemingly impossible can be with the right support and encouragement π

Wow, youβve really smashed those goals Linda, fantastic! I forget what mine were, but I know Iβm fitter and stronger than this time last year. And more flexible - as even though Iβve done yoga for 2 years now, coupling it with running has really made a difference. πππββοΈπ§ββοΈ
That's the thing, I haven't really focussed on them as a target or end result. It's more that these markers have shown me just how many positive changes I've made over the last 10 months. And I guess that's exactly what a personal marker should be π
Yep, that magic combination of yoga plus running been an amazing discovery for me quite recently. Glad youβre feeling the benefits-have a great time. Whether or not you have goals, maybe that doesnβt matter. Just being in the zone is enough?
Just don't ask me to dress up π€£. I hope it doesn't sound like bragging - it's a post that should be read with a high pitched note of disbelief (i think I'll edit it to point that out) π€£π€£π€£
Brilliant! I've never measured my waist until someone posted on here about the NHS guidelines - Sadie-runs I think. I was so close to the wrong side of the guideline that the thought stayed with me.
Thats fantastic. Mine currently measures 28 inches and looking back at that post mine was probably around 31 back then. We have every right to be chuffed I think π
Hmmm. Not sure it was me, but then again I have an appalling memory! In other news, I lost a few inches off my waist by running alone! Took about a year though. Well done on reaching all your goals, Linda, you are fantastic! πππ
This is positive and motivating for others who have goals, well done with your progress, especially yoga for 90 days, that is superb! You've given me loads of inspiration over the months and I want to celebrate in your wins too so I am glad you posted, it's not bragging at all, it is helpful!
Wooohoooo, go you ππππ, that is brilliant news, well done. Iβm still working on my second goal and third goal together but Iβm slowly getting there.
Go Linda! Great news...you certainly spent your time on the IC well, and have come back strongly and kept up with all the yoga and cycling which is fab! All goals met....and you have inspired me and many others I'm sure.ππ Super!
I took a look back at my goals, and am still a work in progress. I am now doing daily Strength and Flex exercise though and I have run three Parkruns.
Thatβs a fantastic achievement, itβs so great to have goals that we can work towards. More importantly itβs even better to look back to see just how well we have done!! Well done you π
That Is fantastic, well done! Itβs not bragging, itβs so encouraging to hear how you got on. Itβs thanks to your original post that I started 30 days yoga with Adriene. Now on day 14. That plus doing C25K last year and starting Parkrun in December have literally transformed my level of both physical and mental health. Youβre inspiring me with your post πthank you. Enjoy all youβre doing, keep rocking it πππ
