Third pass day for me; made really bad food choices and am more than 400 Cal's over my target. Your post was really timely @RangerRickL as anxiety has been a big reason for my poor eating today. I had something I needed to do that I've been procrastinating over, and the anxiety kept building up to become totally disabling.…

Exercise: yes, 70 mins walk Tracking: yes Calories: yes The things I've done today that make me happy was talking to my family and baking! I used to be quite good at baking but after going plant based (at home at least) I've struggled with getting the hang of egg- and dairy free cakes. Today I succeeded with some very good…

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Still not feeling great, but I got some walking in this evening. Glad it's the weekend; happy Friday everyone!

Pass day no 2. I've tracked and am way under calories, but no exercise. I've been tired and headachey and feel as if I'm getting a cold, and not up for a walk even. We'll see if sleep will help.

We're at about the same point with C25k - I'm doing w2 d3 tomorrow! How are you liking the programme?

Yes X 3 today. I really thought I'd have to use another pass as my food choices were atrocious, but logging it all this evening I still came in under - just. Favourite summer activity... If I'm in Sweden (and I much prefer Sweden over UK in summer) it might be swimming in the ocean. Either that or lounging in a hammock…

Yes X 3, including C25k session in the dark. As to what accountability means to me, I would also choose honesty and responsibility.

So happy to hear this!

Already using my first pass day. England is going back into full lockdown from Thursday this week, so we decided to have one last meal out before that happens - food was good but far too much and not at all healthy. The rest of the week will be better!

Yes X 3 for me. Exercise was about 30 mins walking while grocery shopping, weather hasn't been the best, but at least I got out for a little while.

I'm ending this month with a couple of pass days. However - I have also lost close to 2kg (my monthly target), fewer pass days than last month and - best of all - not a single binge day! Plus I've started back into a very gentle running routine. Looking at it this way, October's actually been quite a success 😊

I'm back for my third month. I have about 12-15 kgs to lose total; in September I lost 2 in the first 3 weeks and then promptly regained them and more during a ten day visit with my family. 🙄 October was steadier and it feels as if I'm back on track. My biggest issue is stress; we've all had a lot of it this year and I…

Exercise: yes, 30 min walk Tracking: yes Calories: yes No winners circle for me, but I'm still here 😊

Exercise: yes, wk 2, day one of C25k, plus a long walk in the evening Tracking: yes Calories: yes The suddenly very dark evenings first felt like a barrier to getting the running done in the evening - but once I got out I remembered how much I actually like running in the dark. Going to try not to forget for the rest of…

Exercise: yes, 25 mins walk Tracking: yes Calories: yes Despite not worrying about being within my calorie budget for the last week, and averaging more like maintenance than loss levels, I've somehow lost half a kilo this week. I know how this fluctuates from one week to another, but it was still a nice surprise this…

Yes X 3

Exercise: yes, several hours walking Tracking: yes Calories: yes Extra hour sleep tonight, just what I need 🤗

Exercise: yes, 20 mins walking Tracking: yes Calories: no Tired today, despite getting plenty of sleep. Going to rest up this weekend.

Exercise: yes, 40 mins jog/ walk (including day 2, wk 1 of C25k) Tracking: yes Calories: no I've decided to give myself a break on the calories for now while I work on getting stress under control; It's another pressure I don't need at the moment. I'm also not really overeating, my average intake is about maintenance…

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: no

@BMcC9 and @KCJen - thank you both. I've been making an effort to connect more with friends the last few days, and am going to set up some video coffee dates. I also got started on C25k yesterday - woo! - and it feels good to have that kind of goal to work towards. I will keep on checking in. :)

Yes X 3; pass for yesterday

Pass days 5 and 6 for yesterday and today. I haven't exactly been comfort eating, but lots of stress means I haven't really been paying attention to or caring about what I've been eating either. Getting a fair bit of walking in every day though. I really want to be getting back to morning workouts, but I've been getting up…

Yes X 3 for friday

So we're heading into another lockdown of sorts here, restrictions have increased again so that we are no longer allowed to mix with other households - and I can see it getting even more restrictive as winter progresses. Although I generally cope fairly well without too much socialising, this year has made me feel very…

@dewit I know where you're coming from and I can definitely empathize with the frustration - but that day is done, just try to make the next one better. You've got this.

Oh, actually one NSV - I haven't had any binge days yet this month! One of my goals for October was to have fewer of those than last month and on that, at least, I'm on track 😊

Yesterday was a pass (hibernation eating) but today is yes X 3. I did some shopping last night so I could make myself some vegan dumpling and veggie soup for lunch today, which was yum 😋 Good alternative to smoothies for the winter, and I can prep a lot in advance. NSV - I'm struggling with this, because I feel like I keep…

Posting for yesterday (13th): pass day, which means I'm now on my 4th pass and out of the winners circle. This is fine, and yesterday wasn't a terrible day, I just missed my exercise due to pouring rain and so also went over a bit on calories. I'm noticing that as its getting colder I'm slipping into hibernation mood -…

Yes X 3.
