A quick thank you and here's to 2024

[Progressoverperfect]

I thought I would pop on here to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year for 2024 before the network crashes !! To everyone who have posted, hosted and supported 'Thank You' 🥰

2023 has been a year of up and down for me, my weight loss has been slow ( and for some time, stopped!) Even after 3 years ( I joined this fabulous community in 2020) there are habits that have proven difficult to break , I am nothing if not a work in progress!!

There have been some fantastic highlights to 2024 though, I completed my first Half Marathon In June and on the hottest day in October I ran a Metric Marathon ( 16.1 mile) and I enjoyed it that much, I am doing it again in 2024!!!

2024 also sees the greatest reason for me to be best version of me possible - my daughter gets married in May and I am so excited I could burst 🥰🥰

I now have the task of finding THE perfect outfit !!!

I don't do New Years Resolutions but have intentions and these are my three for 2024:

1: Eat healthier ( paying particular attention to carb intake, reducing alcohol and drinking more water) 🌶️🥦🍅🍗🥩

2: Run more miles, enter more races and continue to enjoy it🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

3: Dance like no one is watching💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺

Happy New Year to everyone

Thanks siggie, great idea to post early, so Happy New Year to you too.

I’ll be joining you with the dancing - but for the sake of our dance group I hope someone will be watching 💃🏻🕺🏻

Good luck with your resolutions 🎉🥳😊

I love the intentions instead of resolutions way of thinking, might adopt that one as well. I also intend to dance like no-one is watching although is! I'm with you on the drink more water one as well. 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Have an awesome start to 2024 x

Happy New Year Siggie! I'm inspired to start running and so will be following your progress in 2024!

To think I've inspired someone to run is quite humbling. If you're completely new to running, I recommend using the C25k app. It's brilliant and starts you off gradually over 9 weeks. At the end of which you're running non stop for 30 minutes.

Hi Siggie, Happy New Year!

I have ran in the past, but not in the last few years. To be honest I have some back issues and used it as the "reason" I hadn't tried anymore...The truth is that I used that as an excuse not to even try. Seeing your message made me think and I am keen to get back into it, so thank you!!
