Well done!
And good luck with the running too of course! I'm sure you'll be able to complete the four minute run soon!

Hi violabird , same thing here! :lol: And I do have tips, but I am not exactly following them myself LOL One thing that does help me, if I bother to stick to it, is to just not have too much in the house to snack on. I also find that on running days I do snack more, but I don't feel like big heavy m...

Yaaaay! I was so hoping to be able to post in this thread today and now I can! I just finished running 20 minutes and I'm absolutely over the moon!
