In December I joined @physicalformula gym because I was already panicking about the annual Christmas weight gain.

I've always really struggled with body image. I constantly wish I was slimmer, leaner, smaller than I am. I swing between calorie counting and binging. I started dieting before I was even a teenager so I developed some pretty unhelpful habits from the off.

I've been going to the gym for 5 months now and it's been great. I actually enjoy it which I never thought I'd say! I feel energised and motivated and much clearer-headed after a session. But last week I had a real wobble because I realised I wasn't really any thinner than when I started. And I was heavier. I had a day of feeling like I'd failed - like it was all pointless. And then on Sunday I did Wolf Run!

There were over 40 of us from Physical Formula, including my favourite team-mate of all - the tall guy in this photo! It was so hard and so cold! 10K to run plus a river swim, cargo nets, tunnels, slides and SO MUCH FRICKIN MUD. But this picture is right at the end. I mean look at me!? I was freezing but look at that smile! I actually did it!

A year ago, I could never have imagined even attempting something like Wolf Run. I honestly don't think I could have done it. I'd have bailed half way round! But now, with just 5 months of consistent exercise under my belt after 38 pretty inactive years, I'm fitter than I've ever been. I might not be thinner. But I'm healthier and I'm so much stronger. So instead of me constantly weighing and measuring success based on how little space I take up in the world, I decided to put this post here as a reminder to celebrate progress of a different kind 💪🤜💥

Mr and Mrs Wilde - 25th March 2022

"For Jack, this is very much a tale of love at first sight but let’s just say, it took Louise a while to catch up! They met at a New Years Eve party when Louise was 16 and Jack was 18. She’d volunteered to do some face painting to keep the kids entertained but Jack was the one who ended up on the hot seat. As Louise concentrated on painting the perfect winter scene, complete with a snowman on his cheek, her face was achingly close to his! He didn’t dare to breathe. He was sweating profusely. His heart was pounding so hard in his chest he was sure she’d hear it. There was no doubt in Jack’s mind, he’d met his dream woman. But it took 5 years, 3 firm rejections, several ultimatums and a box of Golden Nuggets cereal before Louise finally conceded that she too had met her perfect match."
