Monday Start is good
I'm not a heavy drinker only ever Fri Sat Sun but I do appreciate it's "wasted calories" so need to find something else to drink ... I do have alcohol free gin actually!

For me it's going to only drinking on weekends (even when work requires me to attend a reception on a wel night!), for a start.

And no takeaway when I'm in the city on my own, even if the supermarkets are closed. I might have to restock the cupboards with some reliable backups to help ensure that I can't justify it by saying there's nothing else to eat.

As I'm still recovering from this horrible cold I'll have to build up the actual sportsing again, but I hope to be back to joining orange pain club every week (work permitting), rugby twice a week (work permitting) and at least one run and one strength session outside that.

My goal is going to be to fit back to into a particular pair of jeans (comfortably) by Christmas, rather than a number on a scale.

The book is a bit heavy TBH but she appears on a few podcasts. I'd recommend Atomic Habits as a change type book.

Rae - you have a great process focus there and I love the goal rather than a number - Negatives can be hard to achieve? - what is the opposite of no takeaways? Is it wait until home? Bring packed meal?

I sometimes use the tinned tuna salad things which are easy to store and use anywhere (camping at outlaw!)
I also have Huel which is a "complete meal" that you just add boiling water too - this will be my cold weather lunchtime when run/walk commuting

No takeaways
Orange Tuesdays, rugby x2, run x1, strength x1

Nightowl: Under 10st by 31 Dec & 15 mpw min.
Drink more water.
HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

Why 15 mpw? Itā€™s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - ā€œconsistent running will improve PBsā€? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?

Lammo:

Lose 8 kg by end of year

Jaks:

Gimmie Medals:

I want to:

Lose 10kg by Christmas

Run 5k comfortably (might include jeffing, but itā€™s the comfortable bit Iā€™m after)

Iā€™m doing it by:

10k steps a day (Iā€™ve just hit my longest streak of 18 days)
