Fitness Friday - Walking Tall

Anyone who has known me for a while can tell you I am not a shrinking violet. Even so, I feel a change in the way I am presenting myself these days. I am making more of an effort to dress nicely, even just to pop down the shops. I find myself smiling for no particular reason - I suppose when you take the time to look after yourself, your whole body wants to show it.


Another good loss this week, I gained the week before, so to see those scales drop back again was great! I was telling some work mates the other day that if I lose one more kilo I will be the weight I was for my deb. ball in year 11. That was 19 years ago, can you believe it?

All in my training group are preparing for the final group workout and Finale party on the 19th of May. Hard to believe it is so close, and yet, I don't want to consider it the 'end' of my journey. I will not be participating in Round 2, but the lessons I have learnt, how far I have come physically and mentally will NOT be undone.

I have learnt that I enjoy challenging myself to run that extra 100 metres, to up the spin bike resistance, do one extra rep. If I ever wane, all I need do is come back here and remind myself. Next Saturday I will be running my first of what I hope will be many fun runs. My next aim? Mini triathalons (OMG!!)

Hello there, good to meet you via the blog hop. Glad to hear you are feeling good. I'm also weighing less, and fitting into coshes that I haven't even fitted before as an adult i.e. size 12 instead of 14-18 for the past 30-odd years. Here's to happy blog hopping and looking after ourselves.

Congrats on your achievements! i love that you are really enjoying pushing and challenging yourself!
My recent post makes me that much stronger…
Congratulations!! I keep wanting to do a small tri. I know I could manage it but the swimming in open water freaks me out. Silly I know, but I had a scary experience a few year ago and now am paranoid about sharks. eek. Good luck!!!

This is so cute for me and it may be a simple idea but people who will be seeing this will really smile without them knowing it. Thank you so much for this cute blog of yours. We should really smile once in a while even if we have problems.
