Last week: 72.9kg
Today: 72.0kg
Difference: 900g
Running total: 5kg (!!!) (Ha - "running" total. No pun intended.)
Finally! I've been on the treadmill every day so I'm very happy to be seeing results. VERY happy. :)
I'm also feeling fitter. I am still totally stuffed when I run on the treadmill but I'm now getting stuffed after a longer time - instead of having jogging blocks of 2 and 3 minutes I'm doing blocks of 4, 5 and (on two occasions) 6 minutes. More importantly, I'm feeling the difference in other ways. I've been sleeping a lot better - it's still broken sleep but not nearly as much as it used to be. There were two nights there where I didn't wake up AT ALL. That's like a miracle for me. I'm getting to sleep earlier, too, and waking up feeling refreshed and ready to exercise. Well, okay, I feel willing to exercise. I'm still not really enthused about it but I'm always happy when I've done it.
And generally, my anxiety levels are way down. Still higher than a 'normal' person but really great for ME, particularly with other stuff I've had going on.
So... maybe "they" have been right all along, and there really ARE benefits to regular exercise??

Well done! Keep it up!
While I'm ecstatic to hear you lost 900gms (very nearly a whole kilo!), I'm even more encouraged and excited to hear that you're sleeping better and feeling a lower level of anxiety. That is so good, and I hope you continue to keep it up.
Plus, the whole getting up to 6 mins jogging thing has blown my mind. I can only do about 200metres jogging. Oh, that's right, I'm so slow it might take 6 mins!!!
Well done, cowgirl!
