Meant to drop in and say that at my last weigh in i consolidated the previous weeks loss, which i prefer to "staying the same" which doesn't sound very positive sometimes.

This week is going well so far on the eating front, bit lacking in exercise, and its my birthday tomorrow, so i need to be mindful over the next few days.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent consolidating, lammo - I like that word to describe sts.
I’ve increased a bit and the scales are indecisive (keep changing the reading each time we step on them or blanking out completely so I think the batteries are dying). We’ve done lots of hilly walking and I’ve run up hills every day whilst we’ve been in Cornwall, but I’ve also had “a few” pasties and they have taken a toll. I’ve missed out some resistance exercise sessions too, so a gain is not a surprise.
We are now in a fairly isolated location, with no shops or bakeries close by, so I will endeavour to avoid the cream teas at the cafe and eat “on plan” this week to lose the pasty pounds.

Brilliant consolidation-I also love that word and shall adopt it :)

Happy Birthday for tomorrow1

GM-Sounds like new batteries are needed for the scales.I am sure you will break even or even lose weight by end of holiday as you are countering the pasties by the extra exercise :)

All going well here not so much walking as after Sunday's race I needed to recover so having a recovery week.But lawn needs cutting that will use some exercise calories as I use a 30+ year old flymo :)

Anything that helps you stay accountable, Wp.
I had a chat with my coach last night and that was one of the things we talked about - how having someone to be accountable to can be the thing that makes the difference.
I've been on plan food wise since we got home so I'm hoping to have lost the holiday weight when we weigh in on Thursday. I haven't been to the gym or done any resistance exercises though. We are away on Thursday for a long weekend so I'm not starting back at the gym until we get back.

I just feel having to post and be honest how the previous day went keeps me on track.I totally agree accountability is the key.
That makes sense with going away otherwise you are stopping and starting.I am sure you have done well with back on track after holiday.

I had PT session today and I can see progress and where work is needed.We upped arm weights to 10k and I struggled with chest press on bench my left arm was wobbling and could not get back up after 4 reps.We jumped from 8-10 but I managed 6 reps.Everything else is fine and we chatted about once I can deadlift 40 kilo kettle bell onto the barbell work.

Not hungry today with heat only had a clif bar so far!

I’ve not been doing resistance exercises for a while but on plan calories and have lost 1.4kg, so I lost the holiday gain plus a bit. My lowest weight for at least 20 years.
