That is a great result Alice.But so pleasing to see you stick to targets you put in place Well done.

My RHR yesterday was +12 so no running which was good as it was icy out.Today it has dropped 6 points so I can run but will wait till 10am when the temps increase -4 at the moment.
Keeping to a calorie deficit and drinking water and all okay apart from yesterday as no exercise so was over cals by 144.
I hate this time of year due to the ice and cold.

Well done, WP.

I'm away on holiday at the moment and I also can't run because I injured my calf during the first week of the holiday. It's healing nicely now though and I'm still managing to to my weight training sessions and a lot of walking. Am sticking to the alcohol free days mainly and eating plenty of salads so I'm hoping I don't put on too much weight. 🤞

An excellent loss, Wp! Whatever you’re doing is obviously working 👍

Ness, it sounds like you’ve got some good strategies to ensure damage limitation whilst you’re unable to run.

I’m also keeping off the alcohol and sweet treats, getting my 10k steps per day and monitoring calories. I’m hoping for a loss when I get weighed tomorrow.

I meant to check in on Thursday and forgot.
Great loss, Wp 🎉
I've been in calorie deficit since Tuesday and lost the weight I had gained on our holiday last week by Thursday. Steps have been low this weekend due to too much sitting (not through choice for a change!)
Glad your calf is recovering well, Ness.
You are doing well, Alice - keep the focus xx

It sounds like you have quite a lot going on at the moment, Wp. Let us know how your run or walk goes today.

No loss for me this week. We went to the seaside and had fish and chips yesterday and I gained a kg overnight. No surprise :) I'm away to Spain on Monday for nearly 2 weeks and am looking at that as a fresh start. Things have been a bit stressy here since we sold the house. The move itself isn't a problem, but my dad hasn't taken the news well :(
