    @tarun_yadavA - When did you become so wise!

    @Mari33a yes, my Haagen Dasz choice is wise. 😜

    My ice cream was swirly caramel - it’s the children’s so not a fancy brand, but that being said, one thing NZ does particularly well is ice cream. When we’re feeling indulgent we pop up the road to our local ice cream shop which has some amazing flavours - not a huge selection, but always new and exciting ones. I’ll go for anything coffee, particularly with chocolate. Second favourite is chocolate (which my girls won’t eat so it’s never in the house), followed by caramel.

    And January is almost a wrap. Thank you @AlphaHowls for continuing to set up our monthly group! It looks like even with injury your mileage is incredible.

    @quilteryoyo I did not mean to imply that your old gym was a scam, just to tell a story about one that was. I hope the new one works out well and a 3 month trial seems appropriate. I think PTs are the way to go to actually keep on target but I have not actually used one except years and years ago when I joined the y. Oddly enough she had me doing floor exercises and using a ball when I sort of thought I could have stayed home and done that. Bring on the equipment and weights. I did like the rower and really wish I had room for one in my house.

    @tarun_yadavA congrats on killing your 5 miles this morning. You were off by a step again tho. 🤪😎🤷‍♀️
    I was reading somewhere that Hagan Daas ice cream actually has the most natural ingredients of a lot of brands of ice creams without a lot of the fake stuff and chemicals. My Mom's fave was coffee ice cream but wow talk about a lot of cals and sugar rush. I stick with my replacement yasso chocolate chip cookie dough bars at 100 cal each and find those satisfy my ice cream urge completely.

    We had pouring rain this morning and thunderstorms but I am off work so was able to wait until 10 to get my run in. 8 miles to ensure that I avg 7 miles per day for Jan. I think this month I have really pushed the envelope and feel grateful that my body did not break down. It's hard to know sometimes what that window is but I decided that I was no longer happy with just maintaining my fitness and want to get better this year so only one way to do that....

    How exciting! Let's see what you got. Of course we all can and do breakdown at times, and making hay while the sun is shining is the winning strategy.

    You're smart, tough, experienced, intelligent, health, and fit with a ton of support, it'll be inspiring seeing what you do.

    Oh and goal. January. Put me down for 125

    126!

    Not the best month for me. Lost 3 days at the start due to travel and flying back/timezones.
    Then lost 3 after a week of being back due to my left arch - which still isn't right but a lot LOT better

    @SummerSkier I read that too about Haagen Dasz having the least additives/most cream etc.

    @ContraryMaryMary kiwi ice cream is renowned! Don't see it as much here in England... But have seen NZ ice cream this, NZ ice cream that in Dubai, India etc.

    PS: coffee though!? 🤔
