Hey all, a bit late to the end-of-month party but I have a week's worth of internet-detox vacation to offer as an excuse o:) Anyway, to sum up January before heading over to the new thread: Didn't go according to plan. Mood issues, over-eating, not getting back into the groove after the December holiday period. Gonna be…

Give it a go! I can only recommend trying it! Long story short, I’m in love with the sport for a lot of reasons. And the Netherlands have plenty of locations with great teachers. You don’t have to be strong to begin with it. You only need to be curious. :smile: Here the long story: After I left the nest to explore the…

Geez, that looks NASTY! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a quick recovery!

Hey all, time for the weekly check in. So there is still no weight loss to report. But no further gain either. The last 2-3 weeks saw a stable up and down within a 1 kg margin, which makes me book January as a maintenance month. Could be worse and at least I am not feeling as blue anymore as I did at the start of the…

So here I was, feeling a bit meh about how the last few weeks went, and then this story! Thanks for the smiles :) French are the best (reason why I finally caved in and moved in with a guy a few months ago after years of happy non-commitment). I just love the accent. And the food (cheese? wine?). And the way they kiss. And…

My goals for this year are: 1. My highest weight for this year is what is was yesterday : 72.3 kg 2. Get down to the lower 60 kg range 3. Achieve pole moves: handspring, russian layback (without fear), janeiro, pegasus 4. Improve shoulder mobility 5. Run half-marathon without walking inbetween. 6. Zevenheuvelenloop…

Hey all, no weights today. Last week ended on a high after eating out twice after each other. No regrets though. Those were lovely evenings although not necessarily helping with dropping stuff off my balance! Anyway, weekend went a bit better but weight stayed high. Yesterday I did pretty okay until I logged what I had for…

The first of many to come :)

Thanks for comforting. Makes it easier to hang in there. @Antiopelle I'm definitely looking forward to some more positive/stronger news next week :) @l4a_p That's one of those thoughts, too. Again You seem to be getting around again as well, though! Babysteps.

Reading you guys exchanging updates on this is making me want to try as well! I think I'll give this test a chance later. o:)

That's what I was thinking as well back then, that I was just too bad and slow to join (6 to 7 km in just below 1 hour ?!?). Plus, I preferred running by myself, with music on the ears. Big change to now. Anyway, those sports clubs that I experienced so far (Wageningen/Rhenen, Vught - NL) have different levels as well. I…

Did you try joining a running club/school at some point? I did so about 2 years ago. Up till then, with predictable regularity, I would get shin issues as well during late fall/winter and had to take longer breaks. Then by chance, through work, we had a running clinic set up at some point with video analysis of the…

Same boat here! Feel like sleepwalking. Can't wait for Saturday to pass when the days finally start to grow longer again instead of shorter.

@cayenne_007 : Adjusting to life with kids sounds like an enormous challenge to take on. I admire you taking it on while still being so busy with everything else! I'm 37 and don't have kids. Never had the drive to have some either. My partner fortunately is quite similar. If it should happen, okay. Though with IUD rather…

Thanks. I guess it's also a lesson in somehow "knowing" that it's normal and healthy to take some alone-time and "allowing" it to happen. I have never been good in taking a stand for myself or setting boundaries. It's something that I have been working on over the years. Now with the relationship developing further and…
