Hi Claire good to see you here again!
Update in a nutshell: I started the channel swim challenge and got off to a flying start before doing my black belt (and passing-woo hoo!) then had to have some time off to rest my achy muscles. I am back to swimming now and only a little behind target but it's doable. Weight is moving, I lost a little, gained 3lb with the help of AF then lost it again this week. I am working, training and swimming and occassionally find time to rest!
