After a rather optimistic rest week and with much higher morale, week 17 was destined to be successful!

The result?

4 resistance sessions, 1 circuit session, 1 cycling session.. but only 2 runs. Not quite the 100% completion rate I’d hoped for but certainly not a bad result either. Whilst I’m disappointed that I didn’t squeeze that last run in, there were a few promising developments:

1. The weight loss I was promised has FINALLY started to materialise! I’m officially down by over 5kg and I could not be happier
2. Related – my shirt collars now close for the first time in over a year 😳. I have a whole range of suits and ties that I’m dying to reintroduce into my wardrobe.
3. Whilst I’m not quite hitting the old PBs, my resistance workouts are gradually creeping back to the right levels and I’m starting to feel much stronger.

So all in all, a pretty exciting week for me. I’m hoping to maintain the momentum – as I’m going to Asia for two weeks this Friday it may mean a few exotic runs in the far east and some hotel room calisthenics but I’m still super optimistic.

Fingers crossed I can keep this up and also really start focusing on getting those miles in and/or bringing those times down.

See you next week!
