Well, I haven't blogged for two weeks as my software was playing up. It's been an up and down time really. I completed the Swansea bay 10k race and the bristol half marathon in the past two weeks. Oth runs left me with a sore back due to the weight I'm carrying.
In the two weeks since I was last at slimming mI have put on 5lbs. I am now back to my start weight of 18 stone 8lbs. This is still lighter than my biggest weight of 21 stone from 2 years ago.

I have been working long hours and have not planned my diet around this. I won't make that mistake again!
On the positive side, I have got a ballot place for the London marathon, which is nearly impossible to get. I also have a 10 mile trail run in November and a 3k Santa run for the British heart foundation in December.

The biggest news is that I am running for charity again in aid of kidney research. This again is in memory of my father who died this year. I intend to not only run the London marathon, but also 2 ultra marathons as well. One is 32 miles long and the other is 40 miles long.

I have some inspirational runners around me, and I feel this is my time to slim down again, and hopefully inspire other along the way.

This week's gain was a low, it was not unexpected, but did leave me questioning my own will power.

I need to take heart from the amazing people around me of which there are many. I think sometimes we give hope to many and leave none for ourselves.

Time will tell.

Have a good week one and all.

Oh and a big thanks to Amanda, my lovely consultant for another fab welcome.
