Last September, I turned 41 (yuck)! I must admit I’d fallen into really bad eating habits. I woke up the week before my birthday and decided I had to start eating healthier. So I cut out all the biscuits, cakes and sweeties I was eating and replaced them with fruit.
I follow a few lifestyle bloggers and remembered reading how one had said how much she enjoyed running. The bonuses were no costly gym membership and equipment, all you really needed was a pair of trainers. I thought I’d give it ago.
So four months later, I’m addicted to running, I love it! I probably bore my lovely friends to death talking about it! I now go running three times a week with my sister Nicky. We generally do have such a laugh together, it really helps take your mind off your problems and leaves you feeling so motivated. We hope to take part in the British Heart Foundation 5km Bournemouth bay run in April.
P.S it really helps with weight loss!

Ah that sounds so familiar! All I talk about is running. Very few of my friends understand it, but I think talking about it is a great experience because it usually inspires someone else! Well done 😀

Thank you for your comments. I’m back to running on my own now, my poor running buddy has been told to stop by the Doctor. 😐

I tried running a few times and didn’t like it, but maybe I should give it another go, I do find it generally hard to get to the Gym or join any clubs due to having the kids most of the time and working full time, I do get out walking the dogs though so maybe I should try adding jogging to the dog walk! dogs won’t know what’s hit them! Looking forward to following your journey! #WeightLossWednesday
