Thanks, lammo.

Your idea of plateauing for a while then having another focused push sounds like a sensible plan; it will give you permission to be a little more relaxed for a while or time to focus on another aspect of self-improvement.
Let's make this week whatever we want it to be :) #progressnotperfection

This has become one of my favourite Fetch spaces. It feels safe and supportive, without being gushy. I learn so much from you :)

I think we all feel the same as we learn from each other and indeed safe and supportive and not mushy/gushy.

How did we all do today?
I drank my water and protein drink
Kept to calories
steps was over 10k
ran twice
I call that a win day :)

Hello…
Away in the caravan so I’ve not done my weekly weigh in today.

I’ve tried to “be prepared” by bringing pre-cooked healthy meals (chilli, sweet potato cottage pie, chicken curry) but always seem to fall off the waggon when we’re on holiday. Today we had a pub lunch of pie and chips, and a scone for tea 🙄
On the positive side, I’ll have walked 25k steps by the time I’ve given Charlie his bedtime walk.

Less damaging calorie-wise than if you’d not taken prepared meals Alice.

That’s a strong Win Day, Wp 🎉

I’ve had a reasonable set of Wins today:
Good hydration
Calorie deficit (yayy!!!)
High enough protein
Plenty of 5 a day
Gym session
Batch cooked meals for the freezer
Read a chapter of Atomic Habits
Journalling
A few messsges with my coach that have helped my understanding of the weekend’s binge behaviour

The only bit I’ve missed is steps - just 5k

Alice I am sure you need a treat whilst on holiday and you have your healthy meals to eat as well along with walking you will off set any damage I am sure.

GM: That sounds a great day to me a lot of positives so win win:)

Hmm well, i had a pint and a packet of crisps in the pub last night, just the one, it was bloody lovely :-)

So it's going OK, i'm probably happier for lifting the pressure on myself for a little bit.

Got my steps in though.

How are you doing WP?

That sounds lovely Llammo and this is a way of life it has to be manageable with real life.Quality over quantity ;-)

I have had a good day I am averaging the steps over the week as I can make 10k 6 days but on PT day I am light so if I make 70k in a week a happy bunny past 7 day 89k.
I am not running post PT session so it is a rest from running day and so means the day after is long run day and it is working for me past two weeks.

Food is okay need to up protein but for me so hard so work in progress. Everything else is grand,

Hope the ladies are doing just as well.
