@GimmeMedals @Alice the Camel @lammo @Ness

Got weighed at PT session today first time in 6 weeks as G revamped gym and moved scales to side room so forgot about it. I gained 3lbs in that time.So I have come home and written menu for the day and I will not divert from it.

Hello! Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. I was away on holiday in August for a short break to celebrate the Ness 29th wedding anniversary. Surprisingly when I got home and did a weight check I had STS! We did do quite a lot of walking while I was away though.

Next weight check is on Wednesday so hopefully it'll still be the same. 🤞

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

Sounds great Ness on the holiday and weighing front.

I'm back at work today after2 weeks of much needed holiday.

Elbow is improving nicely, although i don't yet have a full range of motion, the doc and physio have both said they are happy with progress.

I also seem to be fully recovered from my brief bout of covid.

Strangely, despite not being able to get right hand to my face for almost 4 weeks i am heavy, but work started on that today.

We've booked next years summer holiday, and i will need to look respectable in my swimmers, so needs must.

So aside from work and my weight all good :-)

Sounds positive about the elbow, lammo. And the recovery after covid.

Mr Ness and I have a couple of holidays booked. A short break on Menorca in October and a longer holiday on Gran Canaria in January. For both I'd like to have a swim in the sea and am thinking about taking my wetsuit. Need to be sure it still fits!

Helloooo, my fellow IKWYDLSers 👋
This month has flown by. I started off doing well but then Alice came to stay :) We've had a really grand time together but I've used it as an excuse to show her all my favourite cafes and we've lived the seaside holiday life for a week so the weight I'd lost earlier has all gone back on. BUT we have a plan and are starting again tomorrow.
On the plus side, we've been doing Walk the Sum so have logged a good haul of steps each day.

How is everyone?

I've had a very focused week - calorie deficit every day for a week; 3 runs done including today's "long" 6 miler and I've even managed a gym session 😇
I've not fitted in any additional cardio - early morning sea dips have taken priority as I love the way I feel during and afterwards. It's a sunset dip today for a change. My sleep is improving and this may be why.

That sounds a great week GM and I like the idea of a sunset dip and sleeping.

My sleep is suffering bigtime for passed month and taking it's toll on me. Also I am still struggling post effects with Covid and then hip decides to give me grief.
But good news I lost a pound....LOL
Ice tub going well , but running is rubbish.
I need to be put down .

A mixed bag there, Wp.

I cried off the sunset sea dip because it was raining quite heavily and so we wouldn't have seen the sunset. Plus, I'd already had a bath after my long run and going out to get rained on and cold didn't appeal once I was in my PJs.

👋

Just checking in.

Well done on being focused, GM. The swims sound great but I wouldn't have fancied this evening in the rain.

Hope you can get back to a more settled sleep pattern, WP.

I didn't do a weight check this morning. Will get back to that after my race weekends. My training is going well at the moment. I have a half marathon on Sunday but don't expect to get a fast time. Will be just going along to enjoy it.
