It sounds like you have everything in hand, Wp.
A pint and bag or crisps is ok as an occasional snack, lammo - sustainability is key. Note I’m not using the word “treat” despite it being the word that jumps out at me to be used 😊
I’m doing ok with calories (phew) and gym sessions. I’m sleeping well and hydrating. The habit I’m missing is 10k steps. It’s so damp and cold out that I just don’t want to be out there.
Weigh in tomorrow will tell the story of last weekend’s binge-fest

GM- Can you do something indoors to get step count up treadmill at gym? or cross trainer.
Even if you do an indoor walk like Leslie S forget her last name.
Sounds like you have the rest covered.I bet the weigh in will not be as bad as you think :)

I’ve had a couple of days where I’ve made poor food choices. Mr ATC has just reminded me that GM is arriving tomorrow so she’ll make sure I get back on track :-)
Strenuous exercise has been curtailed over the last week. I’m having a small medical procedure tomorrow which should hopefully sort things so that I can resume running and strength training shortly. I haven’t walked much today - partly due to the weather but mainly because I had an important but time consuming task to do on the laptop, so I’ve spent much of today sitting.
Things can only get better!

I’m pleased to read that you’re all having more success at sticking to sustainable healthy habits! Well done everyone.

I’m banking on us motivating each other Alice. Less than 7 weeks to Christmas. 2.2kg off would get me to my lowest ever (adult) weight.

I should do some indoor walking, Wp. Last year, when I did 10k steps every day, I used to march in the kitchen when making meals or boiling the kettle.

Not as bad as it might have been - I've lost most of the weight I gained over the weekend. Just 0.2kg on this week.
That's a total of 0.3kg gained since I started my "drop a dress size for Christmas" campaign 😆

GM Marching sounds good especially making meals and hot drinks it all adds up.
Alice I am sure a double team effort will work wonders and motivate each other.

GM Great weigh in well done pulling it back. It shows how determind you are .

A nice positive post well done GM.

Not a complete disaster of a weigh in GM! We’ll be sensible over the weekend, won’t we?

I hope everyone has a good day today, let’s make it count!

Despite the Hen do last weekend, which included a scrumptious and plentiful afternoon tea, and not exercising because I've got a chest infection so can't run and am avoiding coughing on the public at the gym, I've lost 0.2kg this week. I'm happy with that.
