Well done everyone for achieving your goals.

17 mile trail/mountain run, with 2,135 feet of Elevation. Legs were tired at the end and it was a very warm day, but I was carrying full race kit for my Ultra which is in 2 weeks. Made a schoolboy error with the socks I wore and will opt for different ones on race day as they were rubbing a bit by the end. No blisters…

Well done on your weight loss @dolorsit. That's a lot of exercise each day, but I'm like you, I need to exercise daily to be able to lose/maintain. I can't do it with diet alone. I only started logging my food intake in March and it's been a real eye-opener, but I've learned what I can eat and more importantly, portion…

Wow! @Avidkeo that cake looks lovely 😋

@skippygirlsmom Since Covid measures have been put in place, we are no longer able to watch our children in sports practice (they play Hockey - think it's called Field Hockey in America). Therefore instead of spending an hour wasting time on my phone sat in the car, I go for a run instead. That way, I'm trying to spend my…

Heart shaped throne

@lazycat2018 I found that when holding for longer than 30 seconds, my form wasn't as good, but if I hold for 30 seconds and really concentrate on contracting all of my muscles, I feel I have a better workout. But I think it's personal preference. From what I read, a hold of 30 seconds to 1 minute is the ideal time. I just…

Sorry to hear you collapsed @lazycat2018. Hopefully it was just a one-off due to dehydration. Take it easy and look after yourself xx

I went from daily weighing to weighing myself twice a week (Wednesday's and Saturday's). This works well for me because even though I am maintaining my weight, I know that it can fluctuate by one or two pounds and it's not worth getting stressed over.

I've changed my workout slightly after doing some reading on how long you should hold a plank/isometric exercise. Apparently a hold of 30 seconds is more than enough time to contract your muscles, therefore I've reverted back to 30 second holds and trying to increase reps. Today: Straight arm planks: 4 x 30 secs Reverse…

Oh no @lazycat2018, sorry to read you've been in A&E, hope you're Ok?
