Sorry I am a little bit late joining this week's challenge, I really need this reset and to think about those questions but I am on holiday this week and haven't been able to do do any of it (we had a couple of days away as a family and I am away tomorrow until Sunday night for my daughter's competition) Anyway here is my…

Weigh in day Friday Previous weight 183.4 lbs Current weight 182.1 lbs It was my birthday yesterday, so there is a bit of cake and treats around but all in moderation. I am on holiday this week and we have a few days away booked with less control over what I can eat (team breakfast and dinner for my daughter and her team's…

Sorry I haven't looked at the group for a while, work has been busy. So many messages to catch up on! Garmin has been a bit judgemental with me, due to stress at work and poor sleep my watch is telling me to rest but the training plan is still the same and just full of longer runs. I tried my best, skipped a couple of run,…

I am late for weigh in, I forgot on Friday, and wasn't happy with the numbers on Saturday... The numbers were not better on Sunday, it is a gain this week Previous weight 180.1 lbs Current weight 183.4 lbs Work has been beyond stressful this week, I haven't slept well, have got no clue what I have eaten and haven't tracked…

I recently discovered rucking My daughter is ice skating, so we are at the rink quite a few hours every weeks. A year or so ago I started walking around the top of the rink, sometimes with some other mums. No I bring my backpack, put some dumbbells in and walk with added weights. It is meant to be good for bone density

@daria0919 My commitments for Sunday: 1 I was successful at avoiding some chocolate snack today (although I had a biscuit) 2. I did a deep stretch yoga video Something to help with my week: I made some cheese and broccoli egg cups to bring for lunch at work. I am trying to be more organised with meal prep here is my…

Quesadillas My son found a recipe in one of his reading books and really wanted to try it. All 3 of us enjoyed it, we might try it again with a different filling inside Cavalo Nero From the kale family. We just boiled it and had it as a side veg, very nice and full of vitamins and iron

Weigh in day Friday Previous weight 180.1 lbs Current weight 180.1 lbs Well, I suppose at least I didn't go up. I am having a really hard time at the moment, very stressful and very tiring at work. I really struggle to plan meals and make healthy choices when I don't know what's happening. 2 more weeks to go before half…

My running goal for the month is 60 km I also plan to keep up with rucking when my daughter is training, hopefully 2 strength training in the week, 1 pilates and more yoga... I am not quite sure where I will find the time for all that but I will try Yesterday was my first parkrun of the month, I wasn't feeling great but…

Weigh day Friday Previous weight 181.7 lbs Current weight 181 lbs Sorry I am late, I was hoping the scales would be kinder to me with an extra day but no luck. Feeling a lot deflated here, I tried really hard, I wasn't perfect with my food choices but I thought overall I made good choices with a little bit of chocolate…

You got this @blessedgrandma5 , veggies for snacks is perfect, stay away from the rest and make lots of memories of your grandson on his special day

@melaniedscott I am so sorry, I thought I had posted my steps. Here you go Hope you are feeling better soon

@Laurz9191 glad that your phone is ok @quilteryoyo are you enjoying the sessions with the personal trainer? Is it still quiet at your new gym? @AlphaHowls thanks for setting up February Steady state run from my Garmin plan today, 8km in just under 1h (2 km easy run, 4 km faster, 2 km easy run) I did a knee warm up before…

I have read the intro and it does make sense, so I will give it a go. I am planning to sit down at the weekend and chose some recipes to try (it is always nice to try new recipes anyway or I fall back on the same one and get bored)

@BodyTalking Thanks for sharing this monthly review idea, I don't journal much but maybe I should start End of January Monthly Review It's the final week of January, so think about the goals you set and how you feel about them now. It's easy to make a list of wishes but how realistic were they? -> not such a good start but…

@fknlardarse I was also thinking that, it's probably your body changing, building muscles and losing body fat, so keep going, you are doing amazing

Yes she did use the recipes in the book and did lose weight. My friend tried a lot of different things, slimming world, portion control using pots, those books, a mixture of all, and a lot of exercise, so I am not sure which worked the best but I'll give those books a go myself as I am a bit stuck using the same recipes…

My friend was giving those away so I thought I would have a look and hopefully find interesting new recipes

It has been ages since I logged anything in the group. I have done an extra 2 easy runs but missed a few others from my training plan. My right knee doesn't seem to like the cold (I have changed shoes but no luck) Today for the first time I volunteered at my local parkrun. I do really appreciate every volunteers giving up…
