I haven't updated the blog for a while - I've not fallen off the wagon, just been waaaaaaaay too busy! Life is a little hectic to say the least right now - between work, being a mummy and studying, plus trying to keep on top of my housework!
I'm virtually at the half way point now - 14 days in and another 17 to go. So far so good. I'm 7 lbs down which is half of what I wanted to lose this month. I'm really pleased. People say I'm doing a good thing which is nice but this challenge has been about more than what I am doing. It's about the kindness of people. The recession has hit everyone in one form or another but I am constantly amazed at the generosity of people who have sponsored me, people who are following my progress and people coming up with new fundraising ideas. Some of the people sponsoring me have never even met me!! Friends have been passing on my emails to friends of theirs and I'm getting a positive response from them. It's times like these that reinstate my faith in humanity.
Charlotte called me yesterday to thank me for everything I was doing - I wanted to pass her thanks on to all of you who are supporting me either in monetary terms or in moral support. I certainly couldn't undertake this challenge without the support of my friends.
Another positive to come from this challenge is that my fitness levels are improving! I've been following a basic interval training jogging schedule and tonight I found my jog was a bit too easy! Which must mean I'm ready to crank it up a notch and try harder. I was pleasantly surprised, especially after I was treated to a rather yummy mother's day lunch today. I had a really lovely day with my husband and daughters and it's made me realise how blessed I am. I'm more motivated than ever to improve my fitness and health, not just for me but for them as well - and if I can help a brilliant cause while I'm at it then that's great too.
