nice one totri
the weeks are ticking by quickly and I seem to have become stagnant in my weight
If I am brutally honest I think most of my weight lose has come as a result of the increase in exercise more than eating habits so if I can fix that ...

Nice to have goals for next year

As i can not exercise with my ribs I am just walking.I am a little fed up and not being as good as I should be.But will try harder I actual could do a squat (no weights) so going to see if I can do some easy conditioning work.

I measure my waist, hips and thighs weekly, as well as log my weight. I haven't seen much difference in my body shape or size, so re-set the tape measure to where it was 11 weeks ago (6 or 7 cm off each area) and was surprised how loose it was, so something must be changing even though I can't see it yet. A pair of trousers at those measurements would have fallen down.
1.8kg off this week, which includes the 1kg that "should have been off last week but reappeared on weigh-in morning".
I'm still hitting 10k+ steps a day - I think today is day 75 of my step streak. When the weather was grotty a few days ago, I set up the WiiFit and have been doing some steps on that.
Also, I've started doing Project Joker to improve my 5k time and am liking having a plan for running again - it makes me more likely to go for a run. Yesterday's longer run was very windy so I jeffed 1:1 and still came in 30 seconds a mile faster than the suggested pace. It's all boding well :)
8.8kg lost so far so I'm very hopeful of the 10kg off by Chrimstas.

How is everyone else doing?

Well done GimmeMedals it is all sounding very positive for you :-)

Yes till end of December but as I am injured I am being left to my own devices by coaches who are suggesting I do nothing exercise wise.

That’s a bit frustrating after paying for the academy. Have they suggested anything to help you recover?

No nothing at all as I tell them I am walking around 7 miles a day but they said stop doing exercise.Which I am not going to do as walking is helping me keep sane and not upsetting my ribs.
But it does mean I am unlikely to rejoin them in January.

I'm surprised and disappointed that they have offered nothing to help you, Wp.

Agree with GM especially if you are/have paid!

Now I believe Angus Clydesdale needs to get back into the exercise swing of things .... AC maybe tell us you will do X and we can "encourage" you?

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?
