Juneathon Day 27

I feel so much better at this stage than I did in January, then I was tired and looking forward to the last day. Now I'm not so tired and actually looking forward to my daily jaunt. I can't run every day, it would be silly to try, but I can do SOMETHING every day. I'm now in  a routine of 2 RPMs, 2 Body Pumps, 2 swims and 3 runs in a week.

With that routine and the help of Weight Watchers, today I moved categories from obese to merely overweight ☺, I was trying to work out just how much weight I've lost in my lifetime, the thought of it makes me shudder with something akin to embarrassment! I must have gained and shed weight at least 4 or 5 times in the last 30 years or so. I usually do it myself, not wanting to get involved with big corporate organisations whose main objective is to make a profit. (and weightwatchers ready meals are foul!). But this time, I've had some trouble losing the weight. I started off ok, then got stuck. I gave in and investigated several online weight loss/management sites. I must say, that weightwatchers seem to have got the balance right. No food group is eliminated (not even alcohol which is nice ☺), but it does encourage the person to aim for a health balance with the diet. I'm hoping that it'll be easier to maintain once I've lost what I need to!. Just about a stone and a half to go, which, looking around the site is hardly anything compared to some poor souls.

I think that my running will improve as I get stronger. I'll never be a racing type, I plod along and enjoy the view, but to get back to a 5(ish) hour marathon would be my dream. Maybe then I could complete the 6 nations challenge I set myself quite some time ago - only 2 left Edinburgh and a Welsh one (save the best till last ☺
