So, I'm starting with a pretty sombre message. My Mum suffers from Sarcoidosis, and she bought us these bracelets to flaunt, and if people ask, we can let them know what a bastard the disease is. Anyway, that's my huge wrist with some pretty Pura Vida bracelets alongside my Sarc band



There's my face.

AND SO COMMENCES THE BLOG.

I've had a pretty great day today. In the morning, Mama and I went to Slimming World for a weekly weigh in, and guess what? We lost 9 lbs between us! I lost 3.5 lbs, and my Mum lost a MASSIVE 5.5 lbs! There was a gasp of shock and awe when the consultant announced my Mum's loss. I'm a proud daughter. I'm pretty chuffed with my result, too! 3.5 lbs in a week without doing any real exercise at all...I'm amazed, actually. Doesn't really seem real. Since I got the implant I've had so much trouble trying to lose weight, and it's basically fallen off me this week. Crazy times.

Also, today, I went for a boss 5 mile run. I tried a new route today and ran through my local woodswhich in hindsight was not at all good for my knee. Its mostly uphill through the woods, and thats something Id not realised before. My thighs did though, when I was being chased by zombies up a pretty slight yet nevertheless there hill. I had to sit down after that.

At the end of the trail, theres a stile. You can go over it and keep going up to the moors, you can turn back, or you can turn left and go up the really, really, really fucking steep steps, then follow the trail back as it arcs back onto the main trail. I obviously chose the third option, because I am a glutton for punishment. You cannot run up these steps. Each one came up to the middle of my thighs, so its a real climb up about thirty of these badboys. Good for the bum, though.

I did wonder if I was going to get attacked by a bear or a puma a few times on my run, even though I live in Devon, England, where there have been no bear or puma sightings ever in the history of time and space, but I DID WONDER, because I am worst-case-scenario girl. My superhero talents are sadly not in demand.

Here are some post-run pics...









...and that's all, folks
