Lunch (technically it's breakfast as I tend to fast from 9pm to 1pm) for me at work is pretty simple: ham sandwich or 3 salt and vinegar rice cakes, apple, Yogurt and small wafer-type biscuit. My lunch break is 30 minutes and I'd rather eat something light, as my main meal evening time is more substantial.

I forgot to log my workout on Wednesday and have added it to my April total. Today: Straight arm planks: 4 x 30 seconds Reverse planks: 4 x 30 seconds Forearm planks: 4 x 30 seconds Wall sit: 2 x 30 seconds Sumo squat: 2 x 30 seconds Calf raises: 2 x 30 seconds Static lunges: 2 x 30 seconds Active beasts: 2 x 30 seconds…

6.6 mile run at lunchtime, 30 minutes isometric exercises/TRX and 15 minutes rebounder this evening.

6.6 mile hilly run with 1,739 feet of Elevation. I have now surpassed my running goal of 100 miles this month 😊. April cumulative: 103/100 miles - 7,790 feet of Elevation.

6.5 mile run this evening.

6.5 mile run, average pace of 8:49 min per mile with 389 feet of Elevation.

@drmwc 5k in 30 minutes is a good time and isn't slow. Quite impressive as you said that you don't usually run, well done.

Rest day today, so just a 3.1 mile family walk this afternoon.

When I started logging my food on here around 11th March, I had a calorie goal set at 1,200. Fast forward 6 weeks and I have reached my goal weight and am now on maintenance of 1,678 calories a day. 1,200 calories a day is tough and I'm quite active: run, walk, do rebounding and isometric workouts. What I have found is…

5.3 mile recovery trail run, with 726 feet of Elevation and an average pace of 10:01 min per mile. Sunny weather, but extremely windy which made it harder. April cumulative: 90/100 miles - 5,661 feet of Elevation

I just bought a 'TRX-style' suspension trainer set from Amazon for £37.00 from a company called Rhinosport. I looked into the original TRX and that was £140.00! I use mine anchored over the door, as I don't have a wall mount. It looks the same as the original TRX and is good quality, but I guess this will be the test over…

3.1 mile walk lunchtime and planks/isometric exercise workout this afternoon.

Today: Straight arm planks: 4 x 30 seconds Reverse planks: 4 x 30 seconds Forearm planks: 4 x 30 seconds Glute bridge: 2 x 30 seconds Static lunge: 2 x 30 seconds Hollow body tuck hold: 2 x 30 seconds Sumo squat: 2 x 30 seconds Active beast: 2 x 30 seconds Press-ups: 10 reps April Total: Planks: 36 mins 30 secs Isometric…

18 mile run - needed to get some mileage in the legs. Bought a TRX-style trainer system online (will arrive tomorrow), hoping to attempt some kind of workout with this tomorrow.

18 mile run this morning along a canal path, average pace 9:29 min per mile. Good to get some mileage in the legs. April cumulative: 85/100 miles - 4,935 feet of Elevation.

1.5 mile walk during my lunch break and 40 minute rebounding workout this evening, including 8 minutes of planks/isometric exercises.

8.5 mile run along the beach.

8.5 mile run along the beach. Not a fan of sand or running on it 😁, but it's good training and makes you focus on running form. April cumulative: 67/100 miles, elevation 4,541 feet.

3.5 mile run (average pace 9:25 min per mile) this morning to drop off car at the garage for a service and 2.7 mile run (average pace 8:51 min per mile) this afternoon to go and pick up my car. Still got an achy arm from my Covid vaccine on Saturday and feeling tired, but at least my headache has gone.

3.5 mile run this morning to drop off car at the garage for a service and 2.7 mile run this afternoon to go and pick up my car. Still got an achy arm from my Covid vaccine on Saturday and feeling tired, but at least my headache has gone.

Had my 1st Covid vaccine on Saturday (Astra Zeneca), still have a sore arm, feeling tired, headache has now gone, but no change in weight. I'm always hydrated and drink on average 2,200 ml of fluid a day. Maybe that helped, but I'll make sure I'm well hydrated before the 2nd vaccine.

4.3 mile walk this afternoon. Had my first Covid Vaccine yesterday morning and have a dead arm which hurts and a headache I can't shift. Hopefully tomorrow the side effects will lessen so that I can go for a run.

Thank you @rosiekin, 6 years of being able maintain is amazing, along with not being a slave to the scales and weighing yourself. Feeling quite positive about the journey ahead and know there will be ups and downs, but hopefully I can get a system on place.

Thank you for all of your replies. They've been really insightful.

1 hour Rebounding workout this morning, including 3 minutes of planks and 9 minutes of isometric exercises, then a 3.5 mile family walk this afternoon.

Thank you everyone for all your replies. I'm pretty new to all this calorie counting/logging etc and have struggled for a couple of years to get to my current weight, even though I didn't have a lot of weight to lose. I had previously put it down to my age (42 years old) and wrongly believed it was my age preventing me…
