  • How strange re the thread, I hadn't made any changes after I logged in yesterday, I normally navigate here from my profile and 'my posts' as I don't engage that much outside of here. I love this quote you made "Me and my oars are still rowing along, but I don't really have them all in harmony yet." I think that's a feeling…
  • Damn, that snow for you is no joke, at least it got cleared. We've got some cold, around 0 or -1 but no snow/ice. Was the car battery, she isn't using it so I brought it to work to give it a run, only just started outside the house, so I was nervous about it starting again after a 30 min run to work. All good though.…
  • Yeah mostly, thanks walkintofit In UK premium only really adds the macro nutrient tracking and reporting, it does have some daily 'programmes' but they aren't that useful or worth the spend For me, I think it's as much the investment, I I pay for it, I feel accountability to do something. It's £60 per year anyway…
  • Hi all, I'm still here 🤣 mad week of family crisis but I'm back to some kind of routine. My premium expired and I haven't had an offer yet, its damn expensive. Well done getting over that line trix, well earned. Inspired me to up my game. Aim to get back to the gym tomorrow evening and have a week of reasonable and tracked…
  • I really struggle with this. I have ADHD, I try not to bring it up and blame stuff on it as I don't want it to be a crutch or strawman. But, I find that my days are busy and the commute can be busy/frantic, I keep good hours at the office but by the time I get home, my mental battery is drained. I have a tendency to eat…
  • Agree, should be only 1 priority. So much stuff happening to grab your attention in this modern age. I love the exercise and walking consistency walkintofit, well done. How are you finding the journaling? I'm always intrigued as there are so many approaches. Well done on the virtual challenge mkksemail. How is Harry Potter…
  • “The word priority came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities. Illogically, we reasoned that by changing the word we could bend…
  • Separately, I didn't do the gym yesterday, I've slept well and eaten well but was nackered so I skipped and had an extra rest day. Had a really interesting chat with a local brain charity about neurodivergent coaching, its a possible opportunity and actually aligns with my experience, they are retained coaches with minimum…
  • I'll post it here, it was just my routine, I tapped it in to see how good it would be, I'm not sure I'll follow the advice but the detail was amazing, I don't really use AI much but I'm thinking of doing more of it, its inevitable. This is what I tapped into the app This was my workout yesterday I started with 20 mins of…
  • Still progressing trixter, keep chipping away. My morning was less chill than I hoped. Had to jump on and off busses and still on the way. Was hoping to get in early to round up the work done on Saturday so people don't freak out. Never mind. I put my workout yesterday into deepseek, the exercise, sets, reps, what I did…
  • So much good stuff happening. Amazing. Well done on the weight loss walkintofit. Meal prep is massive, doing some batch cooking and putting them to one side will help with planning. Mkksemail, I love a good excel rabbithole. It's really useful too, we use it all the time in work but its helpful for planning, budgeting,…
  • Those carrots sound good trixsterjl31, keep going to nudge those numbers down a bit more. And that snow workout mkksemail, we are lucky we've avoided any more snow in UK. Got to jump on the scales tomorrow myself, let's see what my progress looks like. I almost bailed on the gym but was chatting with a friend during the…
  • The home cooking is great walkintofit, as mkksemail says, enjoy the process of actually cooking, I don't do as much of it as I should. You could try exploring a come dine with me type experience, a friend of mine was trying to launch an app but I believe they have them all over, you organise a dinner evening with 3 or 4…
  • Tracking well so far this week, meals added and within calories. I was sat relaxing after dinner yesterday amd decided to try something different, at circa 7pm I put my shorts on and picked up a hand towel and went to the gym. No need for the lockers etc which tends to get busy. Did a good 20 mins on a bike, stretched my…

  • I do love that quote tobinross, it has so many elements. What are the things that 'do' matter? Health, Happiness, Human Relationships, Fulfilment. The rocks, gravel and sand in a tub analogy is great for this one. The rocks being your big priority, your number 1 focus. The gravel being other people's priorities and the…
  • Knowing those calories Walkintofit will definately help. Its surprising how high some things actually are in calories. I added my dinner yesterday, stayed within the calorie range and just needed more vegetables really. Same again today, just tracking and making better choices. Porridge breakfast and a banana. Not quite…
  • Thanks for linking me to that thread mkksemail, I'll keep an eye out for the next term, looks like fun. Well done on that loss trixterjl31, amazing, keep that momentum going. I hit the gym yesterday, feeling it today but it was worth it. I did jump on the body measurement thingy, so I know my 2025 starting point, just shy…
  • Happy New Year mkksemail, glad to see you back. I'll have a look at those fasts, my boss in work did a series of fasts and it worked. What is the Hogwarts Challenge, is that on MFP? I love Harry Potter, good memories of reading the first one, knowing it was a children's book but being really drawn in to the world. Maybe…
  • Hey all, been off the wagon a bit, last week's travel nackered me out. Had bloods done yesterday, only regular checkup stuff, thyroid, blood sugar, cholesterol etc. I'm sure I'm getting a telling off next week. Watched a really interesting video yesterday, nothing new and mind blowing, but a reminder to turn off or tone…
  • Here we are if it is linked It is not 🙃
  • Greaterthanlife 'the work of the mind' I think is just an interpretation that we should be putting our mind to work on the goals or things we actually want to work on, rather than distractions. Weird anecdote, many years ago I lived on the Isle of Man, there is a small island (calf the Calf of Man) a lovely little spot and…
  • Good workout danwestmoreland32, I'm still to do a workout, although yesterday was removal of the external lights, trip to the tip with a tonne of boxes/cardboard and old micro. Stopped off at a DIY centre and picked up 2 shelf racks for the garage, one has gone up, the other one is waiting, as is a good tidy up in the…
  • Hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year. 2025, let's keep the train moving. I snuck some fast food breakfast this Morning but I'm really tired and it was delicious 🤣 Read a meditation this Morning from Seneca. "Be ruthless with things that don't matter". Lots of context for this, could be saying no in work,…
  • Well done Greaterthanlife, over 100 days and as many interesting meal choices, like the Alfedo, sounds so nice. I've not tracked the last few days, I've been out and about, good times but taken my foot off the gas a bit. I feel like I've turned a corner as my snacking is different, much less. Much better food choices.…
  • Ice cream sandwich, damn that sounds good. Well done coming under base too Greaterthanlife I'm enjoying these poke boxes, really nice b9x salads, like stir fry veggies with either chicken or salmon and a bit of rice. Todays one has a lot of salt though when I scanned it. Interesting. Maybe I'll get a few of them and stock…
  • Greaterthanlife this is today's stoic wisdom from Epictetus. Timely, be confident in your process and what works for you. "I tell you, you only have to learn to live like the healthy person does...living with complete confidence. What confidence? The only one worth holding, in what is trustworthy, unhindered, and can't be…
  • Food logging is an interesting one, lots of people hate it and some people talk about 'mindset' being more important and actually talk about eating what you want, in moderation. I think tracking helps me understand the calorie range of foods and how it affects macros, how much protein and fat I'm getting. You cab come away…
  • Lost 7lb over the last week or so, according to the scales/body check machine. Done at the same time of the day, before food etc. That's good going, I was hoping for more, but I've been led a bit by a higher BMR which meant MFP gave me a higher calorie goal. Plus I've swapped some body fat for muscle which is good. I've…
  • Hi Keynelvb, finding something for you that you enjoy, the walking or something outside of the house is what you need. We only have a little snow later in winter here, still around 3-5⁰ Got back to the car early yesterday so I made my way down to the gym, it was mad busy but I got some routines in. In a moment of madness,…
