Pic of the week 18/6/23
For the first time in a year I am under 13 stone! My official weight on Thursday was 12 stone 13 and one quarter, the last time I was under 13 stone was 23rd June ’22 – one of only four weeks in 2022 that I was sub 13.
I know that over the last 18 months I have allowed y weight to creep up and establish at about 13 and a half stone, so I am pleased with my weight loss following my new regime after my health MOT and discovery that my cholesterol is too high. I am being very disciplined with my no dairy diet and also not eating other than my three meals a day. It seems to be working!
Although it hasn’t helped my running – ran 7K today, whilst my splits were not reliable, I am still much slower, averaging about 5mins per K. I thought my weight loss and regular spinning would see me improve, but it has yet to manifest itself on the road. I think I just need to get more miles in (unlikely over the next month or so, with Glastonbury, Majorca & Cavtat to come)
The sunflowers out the front are growing rapidly, with a number already over a metre tall. The continued wall to wall sunshine has probably helped. The ones in the back are a long way off this growth, but seem to be healthy – looking forward to a forest of sunflowers this year.
