    Let's turn those blah days around - I just had one, and I don't want another one tomorrow. So I'm going to do a few pushups and squats, so that I do not have a zero day. But tomorrow - better planning, better doing.

    Thursday folks? Ready or not, here it comes!

    @KellyBgetsfit hope you can get a good night sleep. I remember those days

    @lauren_989 I am in the same boat. I've been doing so well the last 5 weeks and the last 4 days have been off the rocker with my eating. I know a good workout will help snap me out of it and that's what I'll do tomorrow.

    @nightfeeding1 how are you tracking your macros? this is something I need to look at even for a short time

    @nightfeeding1 don't feel bad! I only do so much because it's scheduled, either with professionals or friends. Getting competitive is a great way to motivate yourself though. I don't have to add any text to the photos; they get uploaded and that's job done. Unfortunately it's a dietician-provided app or I could recommend having a look at it.

    It is that TOTM here too - I haven't missed this! Feeling bloated and crampy and PMS-y and bleurgh. I am totally blaming it for my weight being up a bit, whilst appreciating it could also be water retention from the increased intensity of my exercise. All good, will keep focusing on my food intake.

    I would like to get a walk in at lunch time as it looks nice out, if cold, but I may not be able to leave the house. We're waiting for a repair guy to look at our front door and I don't know what time he's turning up. I have my fingers crossed that he doesn't turn up during my customer meetings this morning or my 1hr dietician appointment this afternoon. When I booked, OH wasn't down as working, but he had an extra shift he forgot about to make up some hours and is out all day.

    My 'comfort food' for today is a spicy chicken pasta from the supermarket. It's got a tomato-based sauce with peppers in it, a mild kick, and chunks of chargrilled chicken, eaten cold. I have tried to replicate it at home but not been remotely successful, so every time we go to that supermarket, I get a couple. This is my lunch (with some fruit and probably crisps), then for dinner we're having herby chicken skewers - I expect with potato wedges and vegetables.

    This evening, I'll have a walk on the treadmill (or outside), and I'd like to get a couple of jobs done. Nothing strenuous, just a nice distraction from TOTM. I'm in the process of working out the seed sowing for the allotment too, which is a relaxing admin/research job. I need to figure out what is sown where, when and how much, so that I can make sure I have space for it all!

    @Gidgitgoescrzy That dressing sounds delicious. I've got to try that trick. Ashley and Brad, glad you are having a great time. @DD265 Sorry to hear OH had such a rough day, but glad you were able to spend some therapy time at the allotment. I miss my garden so much.

    Hope all is well. I've only gone through one page of posts so far, but I'll read them all.

    Saturday I went on a date. Ended up walking 4 miles with a fellow I have been talking with. We ended up getting brunch afterwards.

    Happy Monday!

    Those step numbers are amazing!!! Glad you had a fun date too.

    @ cleaneater80 I track macros with the myfitnesspal food diary - it gives a breakdown of: calorie content, fats, carbohydrates, protein, sugars and salt when I log each item of food. Then at the end of the day I can see how much I have eaten of each food group. Its really helping me to balance my diet better

    @lauren_989 I'm so glad you had your perfect day! I had a good one too. Let's keep on going and have another one tomorrow.

    I'm hungry... but I'm going to bed anyhow! See you all tomorrow :smiley:

    No hockey this week, but I upped my weights for my tabata class so the nice muscle soreness has kicked in. It's a precipitation mess outside so I likely won't get much movement in so I'll have to work extra hard to stay out of the kitchen!

    Maybe some sewing projects or knitting can happen.
    I had planned on hitting up GT boutique (if you know it, you know it!) for some inexpensive office attire as I'm doing an in-person training course for the next 3 weeks and only have a rotation of 3 outfits at my current size. Walking around a mall might help me get some steps but the convenience of that food court or a maple latte from Second Cup will try to lure me to the dark side... Wish me luck!

    Can I be excused from this week weigh in, please, @jugar ? My mother in law has been hospitalised. Thank you

    @jugar I'm going to hold my weigh in off until tomorrow to see if I can get it down. I am up only 1/10 of a pound, so not worried about it. Just would be nice for it to stay the same or be green.

    I haven't logged much this week (Hello Breakfast Club), but my eating has been ok. I have been REALLY hungry a few days and have eaten all the snacks I pack in my lunch for just in case times. This weekend we have the Super Bowl and our EAGLES are in it to win it. Not going to lie, there will be some snacking, but I feel it won't get out of control. I can do this.

    No exercise lately. In fact, my pilates subscription expired (due to a breached credit card I cancelled) and I didn't even realize it until the other day. Still spending most nights vegetating in my chair after a busy day at school. Still getting my steps in through the regular activity I get all day.

    I meet with my dietician again next week. I've lost a little, but haven't managed the rest of the suggestions.

    The weather here is so spring like, so I really should walk after school. Also gearing up to sell my house and start looking for a new one. I need to manifest all my wishes for a home because I REALLY never want to move again. LOL. I just want to feel settled.

    Kelly, hope you get some sleep and Mabel is feeling ok. Kristi - Congrats on your loss! You work so hard. Ashley - You are doing great! On vacation and still exercising. You've go this. Liselyn - You work so hard at this, you deserve to forgive yourself for an off day.

    Oh and set points are REAL! Along with our bodies fighting hard against us to go back up from which we came. Seems kind of unfair to have our body work against us like that.

    Got to go get these kiddos up. Pep Rally for the EAGLES this afternoon.

    I kept up my logging this week, with the exception of Wednesday when I just felt ~very hungry~ so I had an extra snack (protein cereal) to help. It was also TOM for me and I had killer cramps to start the week.

    I went to circuit strength training on Tuesday, and then spin class Wednesday morning. Honestly, I love spin in the morning and leaving the studio to see how beautiful my city looks. It just really starts me off on the right foot!

    Yesterday was a super busy work day so I went for a walk in the afternoon with my husband and pup, and this morning, I started off with an almost 2 mile walk. I may just go for another long walk as my exercise because it is so nice outside!

    Tomorrow morning I have a hot yoga class which is always a workout, and then a spin class dedicated to Super Bowl halftime shows on Sunday. That’ll be 4 days of moderate-to-vigorous exercise which I consider a win. ☺️

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    @ jugar I was previously 70.1kg and now weighing 69.5kg.
    Not much of a change but am feeling better and have been walking loads, doing HiiT and yoga. Something every day. Next target is to start running and play badminton.
