Mini Milestone

So I have officially been following 12wbt for a month! I marked the event today by completing my 2 month (& possibly my 3 month) goal of running 2km (3km). My partner & I managed to run all the way around Lake Claremont---- a distance that I suppose must be somewhere between 2 & 3km. This is a real achievement for me given that I could barely run half-way round one month ago & it's a great way to mark this milestone.

Overall I think I'm progressing well with the program. I haven't missed a single training session & for the most part my eating has been pretty clean. I've tried to eat more this week as I wish to stop losing weight & I've been feeling a bit under the weather. I'll see how my weigh-in goes next Wednesday then judge whether I need to eat more or less the week after.

These are the benefits I've seen so far with the program:

• Better cooking skills--- I now know how to cook a whole range of recipes & can perform kitchen tasks quickly & efficiently
• Nicer skin--- My skin is now really clear & smooth, I've had barely any acne in the last month
• Fantastic increase in tone--- I clearly have abs now! I can also feel the muscles in my legs & my arms have some great definition
• A general increase in optimism & a clearer mind--- How can I not be happier? I feel so healthy!
• Weight loss--- I'm the perfect weight now in my opinion, I also now have a hip to waist ratio of 0.7 (widely considered to be the most attractive in European cultures I've been told)
• Higher endurance--- I can run for longer & I can lift heavier weights than a month ago

Now my challenge will be to maintain my new-found health & confidence!
