Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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
