Be a patient patient so you can get back to full strength sooner, Alice. You know I speak sense 😍

Take it slowly, AtC. You'll get there in the end.

I meant to check in earlier. Weigh in this morning. My weight had crept up a bit. Now it seems to have gone down a bit then levelled off to 60.95kgs. I'd like to get down to 60kgs.

Looking good Ness.

How is the patient doing ATC?

GM: how is your week?

Looks like this week maybe a good weigh in will have to be patient but also looks a good mileage week which helps.I so want to get back to 50 mile weeks but a good way off that at the moment.

You are doing well, Wp. Back to big miles again 👏🔥

This week has been taken as a holiday. As we are (hopefully) moving house tomorrow, we’ve barely any food in the house so are eating out or having convenience food. Weighing scale, dumbbells, cooking equipment - just about everything - has been packed, so there is no routine. I’m giving myself a few days off and normal service will resume on Monday, so I have time to get things unpacked and organised. I’ve got a call booked with my coach at 10am Monday morning and will be re-starting resistance training then.

Yup, cutting yourself some slack is completely acceptable at the moment GM.

I’m getting very frustrated by not being able to move much. I feel so lazy! Early days still - 3 weeks today since the op and I’ve been told I have to wait until 12 weeks before starting to build up again. The stitches are dissolvable but will take 4 (4!!!) months and I shouldn’t be straining my abdomen at all until then. I’m not a patient patient :-)

Fingers crossed for a good weigh in Wp 🤞

Well, good morning.

I've replaced my broken scales, and oh dear lord, i knew i was putting on weight but blimey.

I've been getting to the gym pretty regularly and am definitely getting stronger, but as is my weakness i need to stop eating so much crap.

I'm going away on Thursday for a week with my mates to Portugal, so that's not going to be good either, but here i am, it's recognised, and there will be a plan and some action when i get back.

That said i am going to be sensible with eating for the next few days, it's better than nothing right?

Hope you are all doing well.

Lovely to hear how you are doing Lammo.
It sounds sensible to eat sensible till you go away and then back on it on your return from holiday.Sadly the scales do tell the story or even if clothes are a little snug or shrunk in wash.

I lost 3lbs this week and I am lower than Newport and you will be wondering why my blog tells the story of a spouse thinking he is doing the right thing when it is not so I stressed over things and when stressed I lose appetite.

GM how are you doing settling into new routine?

Alice How is life post surgery?

I really felt for you when I read your blog, Wp. You resolved it well but a horrible position to be put in.
We are settling in nicely but my routines are taking some establishing. Geoff is a man on a mission and won’t settle until the whole house is decorated, so things are still upside down…
