well done Alice that's great

I also seem to have a self sabotage thing when things are going well
I had a mini goal in garmin of 12:10
I got to 12:10.03 so moved it and spent the next week being a pig so back up
almost as if I couldn't accept I was being successful in my endevours
As such I am now trying to focus of fitness goals not weight numbers
So I'm aiming to beat my last 5m race time when I do the same race next weekend, to then improve that time each month (6mth series) with the bigger goal being to run non stop the Bramley 10m in Feb

Well done AtC - good to see you back on track - and RH.
8 more Tuesdays before Christmas. There's enough time to make a difference.

8 weeks isn't long but is also a long time if that makes sense!

Someone at work just told me I was looking trim (beams)

How lovely EP. After your post re loose fitting clothes I decided to try on my Lakeland 50 hoodie which I bought in August. I bought a medium and it only just fit, mr jaks said I should have bought the large. It ended up in the cupboard until today and now it fits lovely, mr jaks says it’s now baggy on me 😁. Good job I love baggy tops 😁

Nightowl: Under 10st by 31 Dec & 15 mpw min.

HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?

Lose 10kg by Christmas

Run 5k comfortably (might include jeffing, but it’s the comfortable bit I’m after)

I’m doing it by:

10k steps a day (I’ve just hit my longest streak of 18 days)
