Getting the hang of it

This week was the start of week 6, and as much as I thought I was reasonably healthy beforehand, it's taken me 6 weeks to get in to the correct frame of mind, and now I'm here, I'm getting the hang of it.  There are a lot of things I don't eat, and I've just recently given up cheese for lent, and I LOVE cheese, especially feta cheese. So, my list of foods I don't eat now include Meat (including all fish) Milk, Milk Products (ice cream) Cheese and a reasonable list of processed foods.  I do still eat eggs, and yoghurt (only Greek) and I think it will remain that way, as my body is responding well to this way of living.
Luna our husky is also doing very well, she is especially good at being my designated personal trainer, and we had a fantastic run today, her pace is improving very well to match mine, and we cut 5 minutes off our run time since last we did the same route.  She has also gained a much needed 11lbs since we brought her home from the rescue centre and she is in great shape at the moment. Today we ran a total of 4kms in exactly 30 minutes, this was a mixture of both road work, and trail running.

I wish I could be as dedicated to getting fit as you are. Food wise i'm fine but really can't be bothered much with exercise. I do my walking often and a few exercises but you put me to shame. You look amazing. x

It's ashame I can't get a grip off my food intake, I have good and bad days! I sometimes think I need to be more dedicated! But I'm really starting to enjoy my time outside now :)
