All my life I'm been a yo yo dieter. My first attempt of a diet left me border line anorexic and so began my obsession. Over the past 17 years I've gone down and up and down and up. The money oo the money I've spent for quick fixes, slim fast, lighter life and juice plus. But I keep coming back to slimming world. Even though its works for me I always seem to go back into my old habits. Now I have a little one who is now 2 my goal is to loose this weight and keep it off for good...... Hopefully with the start of this blog this will give me the motivation to loose the weight and keep it off for good and to get fit or fitter than I am and stay that way.
Well official finishing time 49mins 12 for Great North 10K. Pretty pleased with that. Drenched at the end with a mixture of sweat and water after being drenched by the firman using their hoses to keep everyone cool #slimmingworldinspiration #runningdad #greatnorth10k #greatrun #runningdad #running (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Well I finished the @sunderlandcity10k without being stretchered over the finish line or making a fool out of myself. Even more pleased that I did it without stopping. Chuffed with my time 50:17 Which was faster than I was hoping. Also finished 395th out of 2143. #sunderlandsiglion10k #sunderland10k
I was saying to myself today that I was a bit disappointed with my run/pace today. Then I looked at my first run using Strava and compared it to today. Gone from a 7:22km pace to 5:40km pace (done faster but think heat got me today + not fully hydrated). Not bad from 14th March to now. #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #runningman #runningdad #10k #10ktraining #motivation #improvement #fitness #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Certainly not pretty but it’s done. Felt drained. Tried to go up one last hill but by legs didn’t have it in me #runningdad #slimmingworld #fitness #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining #knackered (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Nice way to spend a morning off. Definitely ready for some dinner now. #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10K #10ktraining #fitness #motivated #knackerednow #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Went longer this morning. Bit hot but chuffed I got over the 10K mark. According to my watch I did 10K in 53:45 so even more chuffed #runningdad #slimmingworld #motivation #fitness #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Nice breakfast of mackerel on toast (HXB) 3 egg omelette and ALDI blueberry skyr yoghurt (1.5syns). Nice way to recover from early morning run #slimmingworld #healthybreakfast #extraeasy #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Nice early morning run before it heats up. Wasn’t out for as long this morning but went that little further. Chuffed I managed to push myself a little bit more this morning. Bring on the 10K #runningdad #slimmingworld #motivated #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining #phillyslimmingworld (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Nice morning run this morning. I will learn not to wear a jacket in this heat. Tad warm. Chuffed to bits a pushed it to go that little bit further #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10k #10ktraining #fitness #motivated (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Nice afternoon run. Decided to change my route to try and keep things exciting. Tad warm this afternoon so wish I didn’t wear my jacket. Ran further today so really pleased. If I keep at this pace hopefully I’ll be able to finish the Sunderland 10K around the hour mark #runningdad #slimmingworld #fitness #motivation #10krunnerapp #10ktraining #10K #slimmingdad (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)

Little bit knackered from my afternoon run. Soooo please I didn’t wear my jacket. I even got the running shorts out to flash my sexy legs. Nearly hitting the 10K #runningdad #slimmingworld #10krunnerapp #10ktraining #fitnessmotivation #fitness #running #knackered (at Philadelphia, Tyne and Wear)
Nice morning run followed by bowl of overnight oats with lots of blueberries and raspberries. Good way to start the day.
