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!

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?


It may be part of my contrarian nature, but I often find negatives easier than positives. I give up alcohol, chocolate, and animal products in food, for Lent every year successfully (though not totally easily), gave up smoking, and was t-total all through university.

Adding things in, though, I always find more difficult. I've never made it through a 30 day yoga thing, for example, and my longest run streak is just 7 days. I did manage to keep a food journal for several months once, and I bought myself a 'question a day' five year journal that I've answered for every day of the year so far (though admittedly sometimes I skip a few days days then have to go to back and do the them all in a block).

I'm thinking I can stock up on things like cuppasoup and tinned or frozen stuff that will be minimal effort to prepare and keep for a while (but not tuna, Pix, as I can't stand anything fishy!) as I only usually spend two or three nights a week in the city. Making lunches to take to the the office rather than buying something every day would also be be a good shout, though there are actually lots of nice fresh veg based options available near my office which would enhance and round out my weekly diet rather than compromise it, and as I get lunch vouchers as part of a belgian tax mitigation thing it's not a huge financial burden to buy things while I'm there.

Never managed the 30 day yoga thing either although I have often wanted too! Like I like the idea of journaling but fail to do that for more than a few days

It's typically my "diet" too NO! I am excellent for 3-4 weeks but struggle to keep momentum

I'm hoping this thread will help as I am in the danger zone now!

I did a 60 day step goal thing on Garmin (to get a badge!) and the 10k a day for 30 days
