@quilteryoyo - I’m so sorry! That’s worrying and frustrating for you. I will keep everything crossed that your symptoms stay mild and that your mum is ok. Rest up and look after yourself. 2.5 more treadmill miles for me this morning. Then I walked to work and went flying on any icy pavement going downhill. Ripped tights…

Evening all. Busy day for me today and I’m in bed now but want to post for accountability and to stay on track. I’m doing well with the daily running and getting lots of errands sorted. Tiredness is making me want to snack though. And I definitely need to keep an eye on water intake, as that will help…. Have read…

It’s late and I’m just over my planned bedtime so am going to post and dash. But have read everyone’s news and sending good start of the week vibes. Monday goals recap: Morning run ✅ 2m Take photo of garden area for contractor ✅ Pack soup and yoghurt✅ Walk kids to school☑️ Walked them halfway and they did the rest together…

Cold day here too- hovering around freezing all day and we are keeping the windows open for ventilation at school all day so there isn’t much respite indoors! Did another couple of miles on the treadmill before work, which I was glad of when I got outside to walk to work and found it was very icy underfoot. 1/1: 2.1m 2/1:…

Congratulations @martaindale @eleanorhawkins and @marisap2010! Impressive efforts all round. Another couple of boring treadmill miles for me today. After my 5km run yesterday I had a 4.5m walk into central London in the afternoon, so I was a bit tired this morning. I took it pretty easy but still working on doubling the…

Hi guys, quick check-in before bed. A pretty good day today. Slightly higher calories than the rest of the week, but still well below maintenance so I’m ok with it. Not quite a ‘cheat’ day more a ‘flirted but wasn’t unfaithful’ day…. 😉 Otherwise I did pretty well on goals. Have noticed I drink less water when I’m at home…

@anchor123456 - welcome! This is a super friendly group which can really help with motivation. I’m coming back to it after a while away and it feels great to be back. @cschmitz110515 - glad to hear your cat is better. It’s such a worry isn’t it? Definitely be kind to yourself and enjoy that downtime with your husband after…

Got outside again this morning for my run. Sadly not the same beautiful sunny weather as Thursday. Thick fog, wet and slippy and a fair amount of pollution in the air. Slowed me down a bit but I did another 5km so pleased with that. 1/1: 2.1m 2/1: 2m 3/1: 2.5m 4/1: 2m 5/1: 1m 6/1: 2m 7/1: 2.05m 8/1: 2.7m 9/1: 1.8m 10/1: 2m…

Hope it all goes well, ladies x

Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone is well. I’m at the end of a fairly productive week and I left things in good shape at work. So I’m hoping to maintain this momentum. Well done on the spinning teaching @pridesabtch - that takes guts. How are you feeling @mytime6630? Hoping everything is ok for you @snowflake1968.…

Two more miles on the treadmill in the dark early hours this morning. Nothing exciting to report but I’m less than a mile to goal now. Will definitely get back outside again this weekend. @eleanorhawkins and @martaindale - good luck! I’ll be thinking of you both this weekend x 1/1: 2.1m 2/1: 2m 3/1: 2.5m 4/1: 2m 5/1: 1m…

@eleanorhawkins I now have an image of a runner in high heels and a sky jacket, running up a hill carrying a bocadillo! No advice on running in the cold (or up a mountain, for that matter) as I’m a total wuss. But I’m sure you’ll be brilliant. I work half days on Thursdays so was able to head out for a run at lunchtime…

So tired tonight. Have read all the updates but not able to respond individually. Just as ever in awe of what wonderful, interesting people there are on this group! A good day for me today. I had a great run out in the (cold!) sunshine, hitting 5km for the first time in a while and around a 10.5 min mile, so v pleased with…

Evening all. Tired and hungry today - must be a mid-week slump. Have managed to stay within goal but I’ve been way under on other days so it feels like a bit of a failure. Glad I kept most choices super healthy. Tomorrow I have planning time and then a half day at home as I only work 4.5 days now. It’s good to have that…

Ran on the treadmill again this morning. Really looking forward to lighter mornings so I can be back outside again. Walking the kids to school and then on to work this week there have been some stunning sunrises. Would have been a treat to run in those. 1/1: 2.1m 2/1: 2m 3/1: 2.5m 4/1: 2m 5/1: 1m 6/1: 2m 7/1: 2.05m 8/1:…

@littleblackskirt - thank you. I hope that your mum is ok and I’m sending lots of positive thoughts your way. Hope everyone else who is poorly is on the mend. Roll on Spring, it can definitely be hard to find the motivation at the moment. I just keep gritting my teeth and telling myself ‘summer bodies are made in January’…

Congratulations to your girl @skippygirlsmom - that’s great news! Hope the ankle is ok soon. @martaindale good luck on the half - I’m sure it will be great. @Tramboman - just brrr!! I keep having to look up temperature conversions because we are strictly Celsius over here. And every time I do i realise just how cold it is…

Hi all. I’ve been hungry this evening as I had to stay late at work. But I’ve made sure most of the grazing has been fruit or veg like raw carrots and I’ve ended the day under goal. I was mulling doing a 6:30am gym class tomorrow before work but I’ve decided to wait until we are more into the swing of the new term. It’s…
-
Hi all, another 2 miles on the treadmill this morning. Nothing to write home about, but it’s all about consistency and getting back in the swing of things this month. @rheddmobile - sorry for your worries. Totally understand your frustration. Hope your mother stays well. Exciting that some of you have races coming up.…
-
A mixed bag today. Got all cleaning done, laundry dry, folded and put away, bedding changed so everything feels fresh and new for the new week. But not much progress on the finances stuff, unless calling my mum to worry out loud about it counts…?? Going to get my early night now. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone, and…

Hi all. Feeling strangely weary today. Worrying about lots of life admin things, like my energy deal coming to an end and the upcoming price rises. It’s so hard to get this right when even the experts are shrugging their shoulders and saying it’s all unprecedented. I hate this aspect of being a single parent - the…

Morning all, feeling tired and weary today. First week back to work has taken its toll! Dragged myself on to the treadmill for a short run, as there are errands and chores galore for today. Wishing you all a restful Sunday x 1/1: 2.1m 2/1: 2m 3/1: 2.5m 4/1: 2m 5/1: 1m 6/1: 2m 7/1: 2.05m 8/1: 2.7m 9/1: 1.8m Jan total: 18.1m…

Morning all. @mytime6630 glad the pain is better and hoping the infection clears. @snowflake1968 you are so creative! Definitely be careful taking down all the Christmas stuff, it’s not worth an injury. @Bex953172 - hope you enjoyed your takeaway! @AJB1014 -Hi! Good to see you. @PackerFanInGB - I totally agree. It’s so…

Wow look at all the beautiful snow some of you have! I’m jealous of the views, but I know the reality is it’s hard - London comes to a near standstill if we have so much as a sprinkling of snow. Trains cancelled, cars crashing. So I think I can put up with today’s dreary, windy rain. I finally got out for my run and my…

@rheddmobile your raccoon visitors sound pretty cool, and sweet that one is tame enough for you to pet him. Seems like the winter weather is hitting most of us. I jumped on the treadmill again this morning but will try to do a run outside this weekend if weather permits. Not very far again today. Getting back into the…

It was so cold I just kept making coffee Early night…

Hi all I think I forgot to update last night. Took ages at the vet but luckily little Monty the cat is on the mend now. I’m so relieved. Also really pleased that, even though we got back late, cold, tired and hungry, I still made good food choices and stayed under. It’s like things have clicked for me, and I’m far stronger…
-
Evening all. Thanks for the well wishes. Little Monty the cat seems to be on the mend. Another 2 miles on the treadmill this morning - avoiding the dark and freezing sleet outside. Some of the temperatures other are reporting are almost beyond my comprehension! Props to you all for managing in that kind of cold! 1/1: 2.1m…
-
Morning all Just a mile this morning on the treadmill to keep a streak going. My cat is quite poorly so had a dash to the vet last night and a sleepless night. He seems worse today so somehow need to squeeze in time to take him again. All a bit stressful so I’m keeping it brief. Wish you all a great day. 1/1: 2.1m 2/1: 2m…
