Well done GM that is a great result with no exercise and the weekend away.

I am struggling this week so going to pull my pants up and make today a good day. Finally made it to the top of physio list it has only been 12+ weeks sadly appointment is when i am away so no appointment as yet......Shoulder is slowly getting easier to manage but still I would say at 65% .

Arrggghhh that's so frustrating, Wp. 65% isn't great is it, that's still significant limitation.

Thanks GM I know so frustrating but hopefully I will get appointment next month.I still can not do bra up normal way with hands behind back etc but at least I move away from pain at night sleeping and pain killers.Apparently shoulders are a devil to get back to normal and sometimes takes two years.(I am grateful it does not affect running)

Morning all, how are we?

Bit of a stressful week on a personal and professional front last week and unfortunately the sensible eating program took a bit of a battering.

Still feeling strong and confident today, so bring it on this week

My weight is up a bit - only a kg - but it should have been much worse. It’s been a lovely couple of weeks with family and we’ve eaten “well” i.e. cakes, bread, pastries (Too Good to Go bags).

We had a few days visiting AtC last week and they are staying with us this week. We have more visitors over the weekend then a clear run up to Christmas, when I should be able to do 4 weeks of eating clean.

A chest infection has been my excuse to not go to the gym, but I’ve done a couple of very short runs.
I’m expecting normal service to resume next Monday.
