A very frustrating week for me.

For Lent I have started tracking the following good habits:
10k steps a day - ✅
Run or walk each day ✅ (even when it was raining)
Resistance training 4x a week ✅
Time outdoors (for the run or walk) ✅
Ave 1400 calories a day ✅
Reasonable sleep pattern ✅
Self improvement (Atomic Habits this week) 7/8 days
Good hydration 7/8 days

And the scales haven't shifted at all. I've not lost any cms either 🤬
I'm an holding onto the words of James Clear (Atomic Habits) - I am doing good habits today for long term rewards. There is not an immediate reward but the foundations are in place for great things.

That’s certainly very frustrating GM. As you know though, there will probably be a big fall next week. The secret is to not give up and think you might as well binge!
Keep chipping away at it xx

Weigh in day for me and I have lost another pound so 12 pounds gone in six weeks.My BMI has dropped to 27.7.I am really pleased the weight is still dropping.I ate just under 1400 calories and ran 37 miles last week with long run 8.5 miles.So i have to have a small banana pre long run and half a clif bar at half way.
This week I have to run 13.1 miles as long run as a virtual half for local hospice....I have not run that far since 2018...eeek.

How has the Musketeers done this week?

That is tremendous, Wp. You’ve really found the perfect balance of calories in and out 🎉
My weight is stubbornly fixed so I’m going to drop to 1300 cals this week to try and get it moving.
