Federica Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hello there, this morning I completed the scary week 5 day 3 and... I've nailed it ! I wasn't sure I could do it but once I started running I knew I could just go all the way to the end of 20 mins . This program really works, you just need to commit and enjoy. Just 6 months ago I was completing chemotherapy following a mastectomy for breast cancer. I was so weak that I couldn't lift my legs to climb stairs. One month after chemo I started to walk, first just at the end of the driveway and back , but little by little I started to regain energy and lose some weight. I weighted 95kg at the end of treatment , I was so bloated on steroids I could not recognised myself, but now, after months of clean healthy eating and exercising I am 84kg and committed to lose another 15kg. So this morning I ran 20 minutes non stop. Words cannot express how happy and grateful I am to be alive and healthy. If an overweight, 42yrs old mum of two, cancer survivor , ex (20 years) smoker can do it , you can do it too. Super excited now to see how the rest of the training will go. Have a great weekend everybody HarleyMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
