I hope everybody is having a good week so far. I have been to see my PT this morning and it was a really good session. I've been doing those wrist exercises @jugar and I do think they're helping, so thanks for the link. We're working on the snatch, which is basically ground to overhead squat in one fluid movement. Fluid is…

@KellyBgetsfit it was definitely an either/or situation and that was part of the dilemma. I didn't feel that we could comfortably afford the increase in mortgage plus childcare, nevermind money on top for home improvements. I am not looking forward to fitting childcare in our current budget, but we don't have any…

Sounds like you did well to me @Gidgitgoescrzy - I assume the 20 minute video was a workout one? Also you picked up hubby's chores so that is credit too. Decision made! If our house and that house had been for sale at the same time, we'd have pushed to get that house. Today, we aren't going for it. Whilst there's an extra…

I hope you're OK @micki48, that sounds terrifying. We can port mortgages here too; we only have a year left on our current fixed rate, though. As my husband pointed out, unless the sellers have done something really awful to that house/it's in terrible condition, we know it's going to be good. This means the challenges…

Welcome back @Gidgitgoescrzy - it's great to 'see' you! I have been feeling anxious since last night because we weren't even considering a move but we've found a house. We have a house, and we don't need another house, especially not at the moment with the way prices are constantly jumping for everything. But it's around…

Way to go team! I hope everybody has had a good weekend. I've been off work Fri/Sat/Sun and the weekend felt really long for a lot of it, but all of a sudden it's 21.45 and back to work tomorrow. Thursday afternoon the metaphorical bus hit and a cold has been kicking my backside all weekend. It was my birthday on Friday,…

@MoonlitMuse so far I like it. Everything - communication, appointments, invoices - is done through there, which is convenient. I do get email/phone notifications too. She was able to turn off the calories on the food logging, and food logging itself wasn't turned on to begin with. My only complaint is that it's a bit slow…

I'm very sorry to hear of your father's diagnosis @conleywoods. I will keep my fingers crossed for you all. @AshenMoon that's lovely! I've had a busy week - too busy, I think, as I am exhausted this morning. Monday night was lady physio, Tuesday I had PT, smear, worked late, yesterday I started work at 7.30, and had the…

Happy Tuesday! I can't believe it's only Tuesday - feels like a Wednesday for sure. I have been training with the personal trainer this morning, followed by breakfast, shower, a cervical screening, and then I've already had a snack (snack 2 technically - I had a banana at 5.45am) all before 10am. I'm working until 5pm,…

@ashleycarole86 - it does take up a lot of space, but we decided the ability to set an incline and run on the treadmill was more important to us than something smaller/moveable. I suspect there are some that tick every box, but not in our budget for sure. @lauren_989 Thanks for the heads up. We'll definitely test…

I'm a little late with my intro this month... I'm Katie, 34, from England where I live with my husband and our two cats. I hang out in the support team these days; I've recently overcome binge eating disorder, and now I'm working with a dietician where the focus is on being healthier rather than losing weight. I need to…

@veronica1359 I am sorry to hear of your ill health on holiday. I wish you a speedy recovery. @yinxfed your tree is lovely, and I am jealous of your exercise bike! I need to sort myself out with something. @KellyBgetsfit I hope you're managing some time for yourself. @Micki48 nice one on the dietician! I've only had the…
-
@kellie_erin I'm sorry about your FIL. My FIL had a severe stroke in January 2021, and his improvement has definitely slowed over the past 3-6 months BUT they're now looking at more intensive rehabilitation so there's always hope. Fingers crossed for your FIL. I'm struggling a bit to keep up this week, so sorry for not…
-
Yay for the weekend. I hope you all have something good planned. I've had a hectic week at work and I finished work almost 2 hours late today (I did take a short lunch break, and slept in, but not adding up to 2 hours!) feeling extremely stressed. I have unfortunately been so busy doing admin that it's now properly dark…
-
@micki48 I'm glad to hear you're feeling brighter. @lorraineGB could you fit a water filter jug in your fridge? That's what we do, although how much difference it makes I don't know because OH rarely changes the filters - I drink the tap water albeit with cordial. I'm tired this morning. I've been having vivid dreams and…

I'm Katie, 34, living near Nottingham in the UK with my husband and our two cats. I'm working on recovering from binge eating disorder, and now feel ready to start the next step which is making healthier choices with the help of a dietician - I start those sessions tomorrow - and a side effect will hopefully be weight…

I need to go out, but just read this in my binge-eating book and thought it might resonate:
-
@micki48 I hope your foot is sorted soon, that sounds really uncomfortable. Welcome @kto0194 this is a great group! I'm another who used to have a horse, but since losing him over 5 years ago, I am reluctant to dip my toe back in the water due to the expense. Instead I spend a lot less to see a personal trainer once a…

My kidney function test results came back normal; I am very relieved! Over the weekend I got allotment beds 4-6 dug and sown with green manure, mulched the raised beds and we put some spring flower bulbs in too. Thankfully my time at the allotment was good exercise, as I've not done any elsewhere! This week is looking…

Like you I know how to lose weight, and I've previously been successful.. until I wasn't. Yes I do have binge eating disorder but ultimately my weight loss plan wasn't sustainable. I thought I'd been flexible with it but in reality, if things didn't go to plan I was beating myself up which triggered a binge and so on. Now,…
-
Happy thanksgiving to all those that celebrate it. @lauren_989 love the hats but love the smiles even more! @conleywoods it sounds like you and the team do an amazing job of supporting the children and families who need you. @KellyBgetsfit have a lovely date night On Wednesday I found out that my health insurance does not…
-
@PlaneMonkey are you sure the DIY projects aren't taking longer because you're distracted looking out of the window at all the amazing wildlife? Sounds incredible! All our DIY projects seem to take longer than expected too (looking at you, greenhouse) so I feel your pain. It was more work on the overhead squat with my PT…
-
@PlaneMonkey actual beavers, child-beavers (I think Beavers is the precursor to Scouts in the UK) or a group of people nicknamed the beavers? I'm hoping for the animals - how cool! @jugar I wish I had your enthusiasm for the snow and cold. Today it hit 1 degree C - the coldest so far this season - and I am wrapping up warm…
-
@lauren_989 I missed a customer facing meeting once and beat myself up for weeks afterwards. My boss reckons everybody has done it at least once! Rant away; getting things off our chests is far more helpful than bottling them up. Thanks @jugar, I am feeling better this morning. We did go for our walk, about 1hr20 in the…
-
I agree with you @ashleycarole86 about it being harder to exercise if you've already spent most of the day in a slump. The follow up call from my wellness check was today, and the kidney related results warrant a re-test. I've booked in for repeat bloods on Monday, and I also booked a video call with the private GP this…
-
@jane_76 feeding the birds on a walk is one of my favourite things. When you step away a couple of feet then turn back and they're already tucking in... It feels right. I hope it helps. I've had the results of my healthcheck back... Aside from the obvious of my weight, I have a 'red flag' for heart disease and stroke risk…
-
I hope everybody is looking forward to the weekend. I needed mine badly! Last night I finished work at 8pm (instead of 5pm) then crashed and burned so no walk, then yesterday was the first day that I didn't write my CBT or finish tracking my food since I made those commitments. I remembered when I was in bed, so put the…
-
@KellyBgetsfit here's hoping for a swift recovery for Mabel @jugar it happens! The food sounded amazing, so it's not a surprise and you know what you need to do. I went for a lonely walk on Tuesday evening; miscommunication with my friend. I didn't take my headphones either so it was just work related stress bouncing…
-
@micki48 I'm not sure about blood thickening, but we had -30c (-22F) on a Finnish ski slope one NYE as kids, and all the boogers in your nose freeze! It is the weirdest feeling. We did find that as long as you're wearing the right gear, you stay plenty warm enough. The challenge in the UK is that the weather is so…
-
Work sounds crazy @ashleycarole86 - any signs of it calming down? I hope you're feeling better soon @conleywoods I didn't have the busiest weekend, so it felt quite short. Sunday afternoon I went for a walk with one of my running friends. I felt so unfit! We were just walking, and not overly fast, but any time we went up…
