July update

It's coming off still.... but it's soooo slow!

This week I saw 12 stone 9.5lbs so I'm going with that. *Nevermind the fact that 2 days later it had sprung up to 12.11 again, I am choosing to ignore that bit, as I've been so good and couldn't possibly have put on 1.5lbs in 3 days.*

I've been exercising too, which I think is helping me to look slimmer, without the scales moving much. I measured myself just now, and despite only losing 4lbs since I last took my measurements there is an inch difference on my waist, and 1/2 inch on both my thighs and upper arms. I can only put this down to running, swimming and yoga. My husband and I have been doing to Nike running app's 5k programme. I found it incredibly hard at first (still do!). I have never been a runner. Even at school, when I used to walk 4 miles a day and play netball, I found the annual cross-country race near-on impossible and walked most of it. The programme starts you off gently (even though I found the easiest of runs really hard!) and tells you to walk for a minute and then run the next, etc. We're now up to 3 miles- walking for 2 minutes and running for 2. At times, especially on warm evenings, I lumber to the end, and it literally takes all I have! But I'm moving my body and I'm having a go, and I can only get better, right? ;-)
