1/21 exercise:
9636 steps
PeloFondo day is going well!
I was up at 5 to do a good chunk of my riding this morning. I have done 62.15 KM towards my 100 KM goal.
I had to break for on call and Brad is doing his full 160 KM in one chunk so he's down there riding now. He is about 50% done.
Off to walk the dog with a friend, finish my riding before supper (I hope), and then head for our yummy Italian dinner!
Enjoy the day5 -

I hope everybody is having a good weekend thus far.
It is just after 1am and we're in the office with the cats - another 20 minutes to go before the top coat on the doors should be touch dry (it takes an hour... yes finished painting at 00:20!) and we can let them out and go to bed. This is really taking some doing. I started decorating at 1pm Friday, stopped at 5, picked up again at 8-00:30, then we carried on again from about 5 this evening. The job is taking the decorators far longer than anticipated, though the quality is excellent. It WILL be worth it.
As a result of being more active than normal I've eaten more than normal, so no idea what the scales will show on Monday.
Don't know if the decorators are coming today (they need to, to stand a chance of finishing on time, but they had another job on) and we have some bits and pieces to sort out including another top coat on the doors - about 2.5 hours of work. I also need to put three top coats in the airing
cupboard and OH had a go at repairing some creaky stairs but we think they will need replacing, so we'll see what some adhesive will do. We have a floor board to replace - got the timber for that today - and if the decorators have finished in the downstairs hallway I'd like to start cleaning a bit so there's less to do just before the flooring fitters arrive. No rest for the wicked, I must be an awful person
ETA, I think OH has gone to sleep on the office floor...6 -
Let's end Week 3 with every weigh-in present and accounted for - you have 12 hours. Go!

@jugar HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈🎉!! I totally hear you with the age and weight thing. Over my steps today but I had to improvise. See photo. What a terrible time for my Fitbit to break.
Had trouble falling asleep last night and falling asleep now. Somehow I fall asleep on sofa but as soon as I go to bed…wide awake.
I’ve been really busy. At times, really hungry then too full to finish. Seems I’m a paradox. 😂
Oh, I’m the driver but sometimes I take wrong turns and get lost. Luckily, I have good gps (you all) and find my way back in the right direction.

Happy weekend! Sorry I was late getting this in. It’s wild we’re so close to the end of the month. Good grief!
I have some catching up to do and will try to get more walking in this week.

Happy late birthday @jugar! Hope you had a great day.
@happimess01 Thank you so much for the kind words ❤
@bowens1973 and @ashleycarole86 hope your ride went well today 😀 I'm assuming padded shorts were in order for such a long ride! Glad you guys are loving your 🚲 bike.
@DD265 Sounds so very busy in your house! You will have to share some before and after pictures of the home improvement project.

Yesterday was my last work Saturday because I’m switching work locations & schedules. I’ve been working Tues-Sat for most of 20 years. This is a big life change - less children/grandchildren time, shopping time changes, slightly longer drive. But I’ve been thinking outside the box of how to schedule everything.
I’ve been eating soup for lunch for years because it keeps me busy for a whole hour. (Yes, that’s a another story.) I don’t want to have to get up earlier for my morning workout. So, I’m thinking of switching to sandwiches or other portions of large cooked meals for lunch then doing 15-30 minutes of weights. I can also use lunchtime for shopping runs at a few nearby stores because I AM NOT GOING SHOPPING ON THE WEEKENDS. 🤪 I’m also going to see about using lunch to volunteer at a church about a block away.
I begin my new schedule the 1st week of February, & I hope my new plans/habits keep me busy so I don’t want to eat the whole lunchtime.
I haven’t said this many words here in like…ever.7 -
@jugar happy belated birthday! hope you did most if not all of your favorite things!
I'm learning that just stating 'Reset' in the morning is not strong enough to overcome crazy days of eating. Yesterday was an utter flop, I actually felt uncomfortable at the end of the day. I'll try to make THAT the motivation to eat much more consciously today and stick to the plan.

@deniners2 We love the so many words
It is great to hear about your big changes coming up. It can be exciting, daunting, and all kinds of other things all at once. You are on top of the planning, though, and that will certainly make it easier to come out smiling on the other side of the change. For lunch you can make the soups ahead and bring some to work to warm up and eat? Soup for lunch beats sandwiches any day, IMHO
I'm getting to the tallies late this morning. Gotta get going!!4 -

Grab your firm NO by the collar and keep it right next to you, ready to sic on any crazy eating. For today, you ARE a person who sticks by the plan. Hang in there!!3 -

Sunday weigh-in:
PW - 185
CW - 186.1 (boo!)
But this past week has been unusual - I took Mum back down to London, and there were 3 days when I didn't workout at all!
I'm determined not to finish the month on a red, so I'm pulling out all the stops this week.7 -
@conleywoods Thanks - we had fun! And yes, thankful for padded shorts. Up until Christmas I didn't own a pair myself but I have one now and they were very handy for yesterday.
Won't be doing too much today.. need a quiet day. The weather is nice and the dog shall be walked for a longer one but aside from that we have football planned and not much else.
