I always lose weight on holiday as I have more me time so I can run ans hike more.

I think we just have home/lifestyle chores that bog us down when at home. I can not achieve the extra exercise at home.

You’ve hit the nail on the head there Wp. I usually don’t have time to do a lot of exercise at home because others demand my attention! When we’re away, I’ve only myself to please.

How is everyone doing?

I had a small loss this week but really need to start making those best decisions for the short term so I can lose the weight I still need to. There will be time for occasional "treats" when I am in maintenance mode.
We were supposed to be going away for a few days but have decided not to bother as the weather is horrendous. So I'm committing to go to the gym tomorrow morning and get that routine back.

Good for you GM on getting back into a routine and I don't blame with this awful weather at the moment it would not be pleasant at all in camper van.

I have been good but also a few treats so need to reign them in.Mostly today feeling sorry for myself as I have caught PT cold and feel rubbish apart from 5 choccies from the tin I have ate healthily.
Did my rehab exercises as saw physio yesterday looks like it was either a frozen should(which is unfrozen and on the downward trend or rotator cuff.It will just take time to heal but did all the right things.Back in two weeks to see progress as Alex is leaving the hospital and moving on to next placement.
But I was happy to not be running in the monsoon and wind today!

I need to focus hard and push through to end of year or I will be heavier than when I started the year.

Good news that your shoulder is improving. It's those few, occasional treats that are hindering our downward progress, Wp. Can you say "No" to them, just for 2 weeks?

Morning all

I am aware of absence and a lack of accountability.

Gym continues to go well and i had a great session last night.

The eating however has gone to shit. I am aware and trying to reign it in after a disappointing 7-10 days. Not the end of the world but it needs to stop.

Some good work and positive energy going on elsewhere in here, well done all.

I’ve had my best week for a while. 1kg off as a result 😇
