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…

Weigh in day Friday Previous weight 180.1 lbs Current weight 180.1 lbs No change but at least it didn't go up. Work has been stressful so I haven't been making good food choices and I was tired so missed some of my planned exercise. This weekend I'll make to most of my time to relax and hopefully have a more balanced week…

@daria0919 I like 'grow with Jo' on YouTube, she has a mix of cardio, weights, dance and step video, quite upbeat and positive For yoga I like 'yoga with Kassandra' I have found the 'run and stretch' Chanel on YouTube full of warm ups and post run cool down stretches, mobility and so on really good for when I go for a run…

My steps for this week Sun 12th 11659 Mon 13th 15474 Tue 14th 12819 Wed 15th 15748 Thursday 16th 10613 Fri 17th 14473 Sat 18th 12390

Weigh in day Friday Previous weight 180.1lbs Current weight 181.7lbs I put back on exactly what I lost the week before. Work was very stressful but I have to focus on tracking and avoid the snacking. I have also started running more, so maybe (hopefully) some of that gain is muscles It was my son's birthday today, so we…

@WarmJellyfish that is a massive temperature difference! But I love seeing your travel photos @kgirlhart I haven't had my watch die on a run but once it lost my steps when I plugged it in the car (I had walked for 1h and run a 5k already that morning, and had a total of 0 steps when I got home) @Laurz9191 I have the same…

How are we hitting our goals this week? - Meal prep for breakfast and lunch in work - a lot of water, green tea and detox herbal tea - Focus on exercising (follow my running plan, do more yoga to work on flexibility and include a couple of weight videos) - somebody mentioned rucking and it seems like a good idea for bone…

@Teresa502 and @martaindale I also have to cover my ears in this weather but don't think I would like a hat. I will look into finding gloves to start my run on colder days @quilteryoyo hope you get better soon. Lovely photos of Tippy in the snow @Teresa502 I hope cleaning out the flooded basement wasn't too bad I had a…

Oh no! I haven't been on the leaderboard for a long time, I'll have to keep working hard. Thanks for the extra motivation 😃 My goals this week: I did well with my lunch prep last week so I would like to keep that habit. I would also like to try to wake up a little bit earlier to include some morning yoga 3 days a week

Late weigh in Sunday Previous weight 181.7 lbs Current weight 180.1 lbs Sorry I am late for my weigh in, I completely forgot on Friday (I had a 3h drive in the morning to take my daughter to her competition, we stayed a couple of days and got back in the night) I tried to track everything and focus on finding a lunch…

@ContraryMaryMary lovely holiday photos, looks like everyone is having a great time @tarun_yadavA good that you had less pain running today, new shoes might help I did my long easy run today, following week 1 of the plan. I started feeling a little pain in my knee after 3 miles, hopefully it is a new shoes situation too.…

@mari333a sorry for your loss @daria0919 thanks for sharing your photos, it looks so pretty with the snow @Laurz9191 that is not great running conditions! Hope your next run will be nicer I have just started a new 10k training plan with my Garmin, so I don't have much to show this week but I am still running. Next run is…

@MoStacy @daria0919 I am in a similar boat with not much support. My husband can eat anything and not put on weight, I look at his food and it end up on my hips 🤷‍♀️ Here is my meals for Monday, I stayed within my calories and had a good macro Tuesday so far I am still working on an exercise plan that fits around work, the…

Like you I do batch cooking and freezing but my problem is more of a timing thing. I work in a kitchen (in a school), 3 days a week I start at 6:30, work 1h in the kitchen, 1h in breakfast club, then I have 15 minutes to get changed and back in the kitchen. The other 2 days I start for breakfast club. I try to have my…

You all have already been so busy for the start of January! I have caught a cold so I haven't done much yet. First run of the year yesterday, I did 5km at my local parkrun. It was -1⁰c but the course wasn't frozen. Today I was meant to start a new Garmin training plan but we had a bit of snow overnight so I think i'll wait…

So, not such a great start of the year for me, I've had a cold and cough for over a week and a half so I haven't been out exercising as much and there is still a ridiculous amount of Christmas chocolates in my house. I am back in work tomorrow and will hopefully have sorted some kind of meal plan. My new starting weight…

Sorry I haven't been very present in the group the past couple of weeks, I had a lot to do before going away and then spent the Christmas week at my parents with all my family. A few opportunities to do family walks and my sister ran with me. Goal : 60km for December 2 Dec 8.2km in 1h run (7:27 /km pace) goal pace repeats…

@minstrelofsarcasm actually that is a really good point, could I please be excused until January? I am still there this Friday but probably panic packing before going to see my family so I might forget to post, and I will be away from a scale the week after (and probably not want to know the numbers either)

Late weight day, I forgot about it Previous weight 178.9 Current weight 180.3 Steps for the week Sun 18790 Mon 10156 Tue 10845 Wed 7918 Thu 22449 Fri 8128 Sat 8475

@daria0919 I love your photo @quilteryoyo well done on your race I can see a lot of you use Strava, do you find it good? I only use my Garmin, would you recommend having Strava too? Goal : 60km for December 2 Dec 8.2km in 1h run (7:27 /km pace) goal pace repeats 3 Dec 2.89km ice rink walk with another mum 4 Dec 7.89km in…

@melaniedscott sorry, my Saturday steps: 10828

@melaniedscott Saturday steps: 10828 @miscanon3617 that is a good tip and very true. I did the same on Wednesday, I was meant to do an easy run for 1h, but the streets were getting dark, I wasn't feeling it with the drizzly weather and my light wasn't charged enough, so I thought I would run until the light gave up even if…
