That’s awesome - it’s hard just to survive right now I am finding. So little motivation. Getting more steps in and studying. Plantar fasciitis stopping any serious port. Could cycle / run more. Staying off the pop more though and 197 days until big race so some motivation.

0.5kg on this week. One of those frustrating weeks.

I had a bigger than expected loss last week, followed by a 7 course Burns Night meal on Sunday, so the scales went up overnight by a kg and came down much slower 😆. I’d just about got back to last week’s weight by yesterday morning, but was out for a meal last night. I didn’t have bags of calories (it was a modest sized chicken Caesar salad) but the saltiness will have caused some water retention.

I’m not dwelling on the blip, it is temporary.

Instead, I am looking at the process - this week I need to increase how much water I drink, as that has started to drop off as I’ve got busy. I have an afternoon tea booked for this afternoon and then no more meals out for a couple of weeks, so will have better control over calories and macros. I’ll keep running every day and will do the 4 resistance sessions that are planned.

My “change” will be to join the gym, so I can access more weights. I’ve been talking about doing this since Christmas and I’ve still not got round to it. I’m hoping the January resolutioners will have started to give up going by now…

Your mindset is excellent GM, you are thinking exactly as you should to ensure that this minor blip doesn’t derail you from your long term goals.

I was away over Christmas and returned to a Big Birthday celebration before travelling for 4 days. We are now at our winter home and both I and MrAtC are treating it as a kickstart to our health plans for 2023.

So far, we’re both down 3lbs and are sticking to our exercise plans. It’s very hilly around here so the legs are getting a good workout!

GM You are doing really well and trust your process as you will see and are seeing the results.

ATC: I hope the winter home is warmer.Great progress well done.

My scales do not like me at the moment but trusting my process and I had a week with no running due to ice so will take two weeks for results to show up.BUt I feel positive I just need to work in my weights and core sessions.
So off to schedule next week .

Thanks :)
Scheduling in / planning ahead - both vital strategies to help us make and keep to new routines and better habits. A small change can make a big difference over time.
Good luck to everyone this week.
