Overwhelmed with emotion

I just felt like going for a run with the dog. On the way out my husband joked 'make sure it's a 5km!'

I got out and thought:

Ok Emma, you have not managed to run a 5km since 2012. You have been close, but every time your knee goes or your achilles goes. But what is the harm in trying?

And I fucking smashed it. Well, I did the 5km and only 3 minutes longer than my 2012 time.

I got through the door and cried and my husband was totally baffled. I showed him my phone and he was super proud.

FYI: I am a weightlifter and sprinter - I am not built for long distance running.

TRANSFORMATION . Feeling motivated! The photo on the right is when I was right into my fitness and I'm getting there now with ! . 💛 I'm 5ft 4. In June 2017 I joined slimming world weighing 12st 4, hitting my first target in June 2018 of 9 stone 7lb. I stayed there for 9 months before lowering it a further 1 stone, and reaching my new target weight 3 months later. I've been at this same weight now for 2 years at my target of 8st 8lb. . Now at target I'm well into my fitness journey and workout with @emily.thriveignite . #slimmingjourney #slimmingworldrecipes #slimmingworldmafia #slimmingworld #slimmimgworldtargetmember #slimming #slimmingworldplan #motivation #weightlossjourney #weightloss #weightlossblog #weightlossmotivation #foodie #foodblog #foodinspo #instablog #food #foodphotography #swuk #sw #sw21 #slimmingworlduk #slimmingworldinsta #weightlosstransformation #fitness #fitnessmotivation #blog #onplan #transformation #transformationtuesday (at USA, Canada and UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmP6NZBvUvC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fat Twat Tuesday 🌝 This is every year at Christmas until now. I never started my weight loss until 2017 but as you can see dramatic difference non the less! 9 stone gone and it’s been a big struggle this year as I haven’t been seeing the weight drop the way I would like. But I can still see small differences and as long as I’m happy and I don’t go back to the way I was then that’s all that matters 💜😁 Always believe in yourself, and never ever doubt that you can’t do it! Trust me if I can manage then anyone can. WHAT A BLOODY YEAR 🥰 #slimmingworld #slimming #slimmingworlduk #slimmingjourney #slimmingworldrecipes #slimmingworldlunch #slimmingworldfriendly #slimmingworldfamilyuk #slimmingworldworks #slimmingworldblogger #slimmingworldlife #slimmingworldfood #slimmingworldbreakfast #slimmingworldsuccess #slimmingworldmeal #slimmingworldplan #foodie #foodporn #food #foodphotography #preworkoutmeal #vegetarianrecipes #calorieintake #caloriedeficit #calories #healthyeating #gymfanatic #9stonegone https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Kf1-EhANB/?igshid=de7x1swbf7dx

I did it. I am now a member. Now how much can I lose in 12 weeks?! Hopefully more than my count 10 target!!

Lifelong dream achieved!

I did an unassisted pull up.

Now, you might not think that's a big deal, but I have always dreamed of doing it and I finally did one in the gym yesterday.

I nearly cried, no one saw and I didn't film it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen! Half tempted to ask for cctv lol.

I'm mid-30s and still achieving!

Now, I want to be able to do a few in a row.

I DID IT!

I actually surpassed my target today and got my 2 stone award.

Today I lost 5.5lbs and hit 2st 1.5lbs in total weight lost.

My target was 11st 4.5lbs and today I am 11st 4lbs.

I don't actually feel any different mentally though. Weird isn't it. But I do feel relieved to have got to target. I now don't have to pay each week. Free lifetime membership if I stay 3lbs above or below target.

I am bloody made up.

To share a photo???

It feels very silly to share a photo of my fitness progress. But I think I need to push through my discomfort and actually be proud of what I have achieved. I did not think my arms and shoulders would be my favourite body part, but I love them now.

I took this in the private individual bathroom at the gym (so no people around) and still felt like a tit.

I am very close to my target weight loss of 2 stone (28lbs/13kg).

Fat to fit Emma has actually happened. It has taken me 8 years to fully recover from a mental breakdown. Here's some hope to any of you who are currently lost. It does get better, great even.
