It's been a long week and I haven't worked out as much as I planned, but next week is a deload week because I have finished Caroline Girvan's Epic Heat program. After my deload week I will be starting a new Heather Robertson program.

Next week is shaping up to be a long one too, so I am going to have to pay close attention to my sleep and water patterns.

I'll be back later with my stats.

@micki48 I feel I follow your story somewhat...... When we moved to our apartment, we thought that was it until we move from MO which will either be back to England to retire or to FL for a last hurrah before we go back to England to retire.

We live on the third floor halfway down the hallway. It is 120 steps to the elevator and then we have to cross a large foyer and go through two security doors to get outside the building. This is great for us because it's more steps, more movement. However, my 12yr old pup with arthritis in his hips is struggling and it's getting harder and harder for him (this issue has only came up since we moved). For that reason alone, when a ground floor flat came up we asked to move there. It has a patio and a gate to the grounds so he will only have three steps to get outside instead of a long arduous walk. We move this coming Saturday. So that's us moving three times in one year. Far from ideal but you do what you gotta do for the fur babies, anything to make him comfortable in his twilight years.

Steps were difficult this week from Jack's injured paw and all the rain we've been getting. I told myself I would hop into the gym to do some treadmill steps, but by the end of the night, I couldn't muster the energy to leave the house 😒. Jack seems better, so hopefully, next week will be more consistent.

I'm going on a first date tonight, and I feel like I am sixteen again. Eeck! What am I going to wear??? I have 12 hours to figure this out!

Way to go team!

I hope everybody has had a good weekend. I've been off work Fri/Sat/Sun and the weekend felt really long for a lot of it, but all of a sudden it's 21.45 and back to work tomorrow.

Thursday afternoon the metaphorical bus hit and a cold has been kicking my backside all weekend. It was my birthday on Friday, and I wasn't really feeling like going out but I'm glad we did. We went to a little zoo not too far away and had a fab time. It was possible to feed some of the animals including otters, meerkats, a goat and some armadillos.

When we got home we pretty much crashed, both being unwell. I did manage 5 minutes on the treadmill (just so I could say I'd been on it - less than 5000 steps at the zoo!) and we had a planned takeaway for tea.

Yesterday after 30 mins on the treadmill, we went up to Yorkshire, had lunch with my mum and sister, then I had my hair done and we went out for a friend's 40th. It was a 5 course tasting menu (not my thing!) but I managed at least something from every plate except the seafood course which reaffirmed that I do not like seafood. The very first dish was a smoked chicken salad with cashew nuts, mango, honey mustard dressing and a pink peppercorn crostini - I may try to recreate that one!

Today we had to do the supermarket shop, then connected up the water butts at the allotment. I've also done a couple of small DIY jobs at home as we had the tools out. OH is back at work on a night shift, I am going to do a 30 minute walk on the treadmill then probably pass out. I haven't been remembering to log my food as well over the weekend, but have put it down to a combination of being out of my routine a bit and being ill - my head is like a sieve, and whilst I'm sleeping well, it's taking a while to get there because I can't breathe properly. I'm sure I'll feel back to 100% tomorrow when I'm stuck working!
