It's going well. I think I'll only manage one swim next week, so I'm glad to have banked a few extra lengths.
In less impressive health-and-fitness news, I've gained so much weight since I got married. Boo. Our celebratory abandonment of our (slightly) healthier eating/drinking habits went on a bit longer than we'd planned. I'm kicking myself. Weight is so hard to lose and so easy to gain. Sigh... But you know what, I'm still a stone lighter than I was at the start of the year and am feeling like October is the month to be back on it. I've gone tee-total for the month. Graham and I both gave up booze for the first three weeks in August and felt so much better (and slimmer) for it. I was so excited to lay off the booze again that I started a few days early and am on day four of my alcohol-free existence already. I'm quite an all-or-nothing person and find it much easier to give things up completely than I do to enjoy them in real moderation. And having a definite change in my habits is what I need to help get me refocussed and back on the straight and narrow. I think if I lose about a pound a week between now and February (totally doable if I don't go too crazy over Christmas) I should be at my ideal/target weight by the time I next see my heart consultant. I do love getting a gold star and a pat on the back from him, sad individual that I am. I can do this! Oh, yeah!
