    Good luck with getting healthier! I started the couch to 5K recently, also trying to eat more fruit and veggies

    Good to hear you’re feeling better for your healthy eating and exercise. I did the C25k in spring/summer. I previously ran on treadmills but for short periods mixed in with walking. Amazed myself when I ended up street running for 40 minutes non stop. Really enjoyed it too.

    Beanielou I had a terrible time when we went into the first lockdown if anyone told me I would have felt how I did I would never have of believed it something just clicked when my son told me they were getting married in 2022 and I had it in my mind that straight after Xmas that was it it was my saving grace when I look back I can’t believe how I felt I have always classed myself as such a tough person but it just floored me and put a lot of things into perspective and for the first time in my life I am been selfish and putting myself first and it’s working long may it continueΒ

    Beanie hope your taking your own advice πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Izzy I’m so pleased something has clicked for you....there’s nothing like an incentive to keep you focussed. Keep thinking of the day of the wedding and how proud you’ll feel of the offspring and yourself πŸ‘
