    Hi Sam,
    Got back to UK, settled.
    Gained back everything in the last two years,
    I'm back since February.
    not logging my food but eat well.
    And currently no running or but
    I still swim. All of us.
    Big boys even compete, they swim 7 hours a week.
    I'm doing body pump, it's strength training in an exercise class to music.
    I tried the gym but lost motivation although had great results.
    I just don't enjoyed it. Fortunately body pump seems to work.
    Hubby did several marathon, triathlon and even an Ironman.
    He never did any sport before... He learned to swim from me.
    I'm not all happy about it as he stole it from me, really.
    I let him to joined the triathlon club a year before his race,
    But he won't let me back. He already booked next years ironman
    Which means I can't go back for a couple of years at least, which is not nice from him. We can't go both because of the kids.
    That's why I started body pump and Zumba.
    I think I work out enough without triathlon
    For losing weight it's more about clean eating.
    If I eat my planned vegs during the day I'm ok.
    I still miss triathlon.
    also family gives me lot to do and .
    how are you doing?

    Thay're lovely, aren't they? You can wear them as outwear, or as underwear. I can picture myself swanning around in a long skirt, flimsy blouse and that fabulous corset...... Mmmmmmm

    Hi Sam,
    that's good. Training for what?
    I need a goal race as it seems.
    After doing nothing exept sweets eating this last 3 months
    I might have a goal in mind.
    A half marathon under two hours in March.
    Have run very little even first half of this year- because of cycling,
    my last run was in July, nothing since then
    because I'm quite depressed here...
    Over 80kg today. So under 2h is a huge goal.
    I'm 38 today. Not very motivated, though.
