Awww I'm sorry, I am still here @PatriceFitnessPal ! I lost a bit of motivation because our Xmas family holiday just got cancelled for the second year running due to covid :( I've turned into a bit of a negative ninny and I didn't want to put that on people... but I will pick myself up and get back on it!

Hi all!!! It's been a bit crazy here, my daughter and I went away to London to visit my friend and had a great time, it was so nice to just be free of all responsibilities for a little while and do as we pleased! However....we came back home on Sunday and my son then tested positive for Covid on the Monday! :( everyone…

Hi ladies! I'm away in London with my daughter for the weekend visiting my friend. We were a bit anxious about travelling into a city but it was okay! Because we didn't get to the gym on Tuesday hubby and I booked Thursday off work and went for some paddle practise on our surfboards....its been a while since we have done…

My day didn't go exactly to plan, I usually have a gym class on a Tuesday morning and this week my husband was going to come. I attend in work hours but just make up the time later as I work from home. Today's class got cancelled last minute due to the trainers illness, so I didn't get my workout with my husband and…

Hi all Sat in the dentist while my son has braces fitted so thought I would catch up on here! How is everyone doing? I did fairly well with motivation most of last week, then the weekend was heavily social and I ended up with takeaway food and alcohol....but I guess sometimes life is for living. Back on to it today! I…

Two workouts today! Had gym class this morning and then my PT messaged to ask if anyone was willing to do a training run with her this evening,.so I went and did that too. I really need to find my accountability and get back on top of my fitness, I'm finding it really easy to put it last. I Start each day with good…

@PatriceFitnessPal congratulations on reaching your goal!!! That is Amazing! Such a result, you must feel so great! Before covid we did a mixed aerial silk and hoop class... now that we aren't swapping equipment we have to choose one class, so we are doing aerial hoop. I really love it although the bruises can be unreal!
-
Morning!! @PatriceFitnessPal Im off dress shopping today! Typically my period just started so I feel bloated and grotty and not at all like a princess!!!! :) I'm more of a hoodie and jeans kinda girl, so always feel awkward In more 'girly' clothes....I'll let you know how I get on! I also got told at the weekend that on…

Morning! @PatriceFitnessPal you are such an incredible human! All that you do for others, in your work, your family and your community is really amazing! I don't know how you find the time but absolutely hats off to you. It's a privilege to be able to talk with you x I've spent the last couple of days getting my head back…
-
Good evening all! We just spent the last week camping in the woods and it was absolutely amazing! Although I paid absolutely no attention to nutrition and consumed Alot of alcohol with friends. Having a good Time was so worth it though. Today was my first day back at work, so I just got through thinking in the real world…
-
Morning! Well done @PatriceFitnessPal , you are so inspiringly consistent!!! I'm not having the most productive week health wise, we have had an incredibly busy week with work and other commitments and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, I needed to let a couple of things slide this week, and my gym classes were included in…
-
Hey!! I think it depends on your current intake. When I started strength work I upped my calories, felt really against the grain but actually the results happened much faster! When you eat too little your body fights every change, when it's nourished well it works with it x
-
Evening all....hadn't realised how long it had been since I posted...but I have been popping on and reading messages. Time is just seemingly in short supply! I started a new course and my work at the dog training school has really picked up! I really have been trying to make an effort to work out each day, but I'm…
-
Hey all! I've just spent 5 days off grid in the woods with a group of friends. Lots of laughs, too much alcohol, some getting back to nature and just breathing.....it really was the reset that I needed to be able to face up to Monday and starting out in the Real world again! I did do some workouts so didn't fall entirely…
-
Morning! I joined those groups a while back @PatriceFitnessPal but I didn't stay because feeling like I needed to log in daily made me feel a bit overwhelmed when life was already stressful busy. It was good though! I'm still treading water with weight loss, but that's okay...I've realised I need to let some things go in…
-
Evening all!!!! My week has been MANIC!! (I'm looking forward to when I don't have to say that....:) ) .... I spent two days on a training course and am now a qualified accredited Canine hoopers instructor! :) it was gruelling but fun! The stress of assessments and the sheer amount of things I've managed managed fit into…
-
Afternoon!! Travelling day for us as we head back down from the in laws, so not a chance for a workout....but my husband and I spent yesterday out on a lake in a kayak so we got plenty of exercise in then :) Plans for this coming week Drink more Water!!! I really need to kick myself up the bum with this one! Cut evening…
-
Morning all!! It's been a good week here...busy as its half term but I've stuck to my food goals. I still haven't gotten any extra workouts in which is frustrating..but for now I have to accept that I genuinely don't have time...its not like I'm sitting down watching TV instead or anything! We are off to the in-laws…
-
Sent that last message....and was frustrated with myself, so I went and got on my bike and did a proper half hour ride with my daughter :)
-
Evening!! Today has gone fairly well, I even managed to turn down ice cream when the rest of my family had one..... I haven't done a dedicated work out though which I'm frustrated about, although I did get put briefly on my bicycle just to test the brakes and that the tyres were road worthy!
-
Right.....5k run done today....not my fastest but its hot and I did it. Also did an hours dog walk (slow paced with the kids though) and an hours gardening. Food wise....ate some crisps that I probably shouldn't have...but otherwise doing okay today!!! How is everyone else's Sunday?
-
Evening! @Katie43210 lockdown affected everybody in one way or another... but the good thing is that you can get back into shape...and as things are lifting it'll get easier to do so...you've got this!! @Cocopops8 I managed to get an extra walk in today, which was less than I wanted to do. Generally I gym, run or…
-
Morning!!! Welcome @Cocopops8 ! Sorry to hear about your situation, however sometimes we need to cut ourselves some slack and accept that more urgent things in life need to take priority for a while...and when we are ready we can get back on track! Which sounds like that may be where you are now....getting back on track.…

Oh @PatriceFitnessPal you've pretty much single handedly been keeping this thread going bless you!!!! :) I need to take a leaf out of your book and write some targets. I have this week decided to allow my 2 rest days to be in the week....as I was trying to plan them for the weekend to give me time 'off' but that meant I…
-
Happy Friday all!!! A tree down on the road to my gym class this morning meant that it was only me and my PT there. I've worked with her alot over the last 2 years so we did a Weight session together and it felt good to lift actual weight again!!! I didn't realise how much I missed that!! We are off to visit family for the…

@PatriceFitnessPal keep going.... for some reason we've all hit a bump at the same time....but together we can get through it! I haven't managed to stop evening snacking.... and I'm not tracking food at all....we are so busy that everything is rushed and prepping just isn't happening. Just need to get through this period…
-
Hi @PatriceFitnessPal you're right....I've let coming on here slip as I've been so busy! We have now reopened 6 of our support groups so that's a huge success....although instead of being drop ins I'm now managing an appointment system too which is taking up a fair bit of time! My husband has handed in his notice at one of…

Morning all! I thought I posted a couple of days ago....but must have hit Done instead of Post!!! Ive had a few days full of heavy cold, on top of All the extra work meetings I've only just been keeping my head above water and haven't really made good food choices or been able to exercise (far too much snot!!) However this…

Good morning all!! These last two weeks have been tough!!! Work has been crazy busy as we start to reopen things but doing so with new covid procedures in place. The pandemic meant we moved alot of our support online, which our local health board want us to keep....so now it's like we are doing our pre covid and our during…
