@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)

Holiday songs: I love having the Christmas radio on in the car, every year my daughter and I look for it and put it on any chance we have. My husband and son hate it too early Today during his music lesson my son played a duet of 'carrol of the bells' with his teacher. It was lovely. I hope they practice that one again

@melaniedscott sorry, my Saturday steps: 10828

I am not sure these photos reflect quiet but this is the last snow we had here in Wales where I am. It was in 2021 so my kids were still little and loved going on this long walk in the snow, going out of the village, along the river and up in our little mountain. We didn't see many people on our way so it felt really…

@jessicakrall8 the official name is window gels, I live in the UK and I find them either in garden centres or in shops like the Range or What shop. You can find them on Amazon too. If you keep the pages they come in you can put them away and keep them for the next year. I've had the oldest ones for maybe 6-7 years now.

@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…

@micaroo4 I love be that your snowman decoration has a name! These are my window jellies. It started small but I may or may not have been buying a new one every year to my husband's despair. They are on my dining room windows and they bring me a lot of joy. My favourites might be the snowmen

Balance is sometimes difficult to find especially at this time of year with all the extra things to do, but at the same time I really enjoy that it brings our family together with some games, jigsaws, Christmas film nights. So I will try to let go of the stress and fear that I am late doing everything and enjoy the…

Endorse: me! I am trying to find me again and realise (and put in practice ) that 'me' is just as deserving as everybody else of time, attention and efforts. Manage: I am trying to manage my expectations. I am trying to have a balanced diet, but slip up happens, I am trying to exercise more, but sometimes the weather or…

Educate: I try to educate myself on balance nutrition, although there is sometimes a difference between what I know I should eat and what I actually eat Cherish: I cherish my life and my family but I have to admit that I had lost myself a little bit the past few years, busy being a mum, a wife, a daughter/granddaughter, a…

@quilteryoyo I don't have a treadmill but I am contemplating it... Although my husband is not wrong when he says we don't really have the space for it @WarmJellyfish I love your photos, we never really get that much snow where I am, it is so beautiful @daria0919 well done on being asked to coach the 10k group! That's…

I struggled to reach my goal last month and I will be travelling and staying with my family for a week for Christmas so I think a running goal of 60km would be more achievable Please send me any tips to find the motivation to go run outside in the cold, dark and rainy weather we have in the UK

@lauren_989 I had a similar experience last month, lots of stress and unplanned chaos with work so my eating plans and exercising plans got a bit chaotic too or not followed at all Declare: I will track my food and water intake, make sure I get more protein and healthy carbs, I will focus on a good mix of exercises (maybe…

@miscanon3617 well done on sharing your goals, I am also running and building up on distance but find it difficult to find motivation in the cold dark wet weather we get at this time of year. Would you mind sharing some tips please?

Well 1) no mindless snacking and 2) limit stress were not good today. There is usually 5 of us working in my kitchen, today one called in sick and another one had to go help out in another kitchen who was short-staffed. My boss was stressed, we were all stressed and working really hard to get everything ready on time. So I…

1) no mindless snacking: today was a good day, I made a brownie with my 10 year old and had a portion, but I went for a walk before so I didn't go over my calories 2) limit stress: I was off from work so that definitely helps. I had to take my son to his music exam but he was feeling quite relaxed about it, and the running…

@AlphaHowls happy belated birthday, I love the nephew @tarun_yadavA enjoy your travels @WarmJellyfish running in all that snow is so pretty! I wouldn't have a clue how to do it though, it doesn't snow every year here in Wales and if it does, it usually melts quite fast Goal : 80km for November 2/11 5.06 km in 35:36 min…

1) This week I would like to focus on limiting the mindless snacking, I don't need it and it is making me feel guilty after. Lately it is got a bit out of control. 2) It is usually starting as a stress reaction so I guess I need to avoid being stressed which is easier said than done 3) I haven't been great at meal planning…
