Terrible weigh in today - my highest weight since January '23. Up 1.4kg on last week; since Saturday in fact.

_____________

I've done Day 6 of Caroline Girvan's IRON plan this morning. I'd been putting it off because it sounded painful. All lunges and squats. I walked down stairs with wobbly legs after.

It is a line in the sand GM you have this it can only get better and next week will be less.We are all routing for you.
How was yesterday a good day?

Whilst I love squats I am not keen on lunges.It sounds a tough workout.I know after G day today is the worst day normally.

I’m in the same camp as you, Wp; I don’t enjoy lunges but I am getting better at them. I like squats.
Yesterday was stressful but I didn’t comfort eat. Today I feel more balanced emotionally. It’s tricky eating properly whilst trying to empty the freezer and store cupboard - there are some odd food combinations occurring.

Start again… :-)

I’m 2 weeks post op today so decided to get dressed and go for a slow and steady walk round the village. I could feel the hill on the way back but overall it was ok. It’ll be a slow return to pre-illness fitness though.
I have put weight on so have decided to be more mindful of what I eat. I’m eating healthy food to aid recovery but smaller portions than I normally eat.

Sounds like a plan, AtC. Once you are fully recovered and can be more active again, the weight will come down.

GM: But you sound in better place than you were which is great news,

ATC That sounds a good plan and will add recovery and put you in a good place for when exercise can begin again :)

One day at a time Wp, just keep chipping away at it. You know what works for you and you’ve had a lot of success so far this year.

I’m finding it really frustrating to be so limited on how much I can move at the moment. I’ve tried doing “a bit more” and ended up sore. It’s early days I know but it’s difficult.
