Ha ha. My shoulders are starting to feel a bit DOMSy, after a new upper body workout yesterday, so I'm expecting that my arms won't work at all by lunchtime gorilla

My arms are much better than I expected, Wp. I can feel them but they haven’t got worse than that. Not bad enough to stop me doing anything.

No loss this week, a small gain instead. I'm not able to run yet and my daily step count has dropped a lot so I'm going to walk more this week and drink more water to try and get things moving in the right direction again. Less than 3kg to a healthy BMI and it is proving to be quite a hurdle.

👋GM. I haven’t looked on this thread before but know how well you're doing with your weight loss journey. Well done! I'm sure you'll lose those extra 3kgs. The last bit is the hardest. Stick with it. x

You are putting in place things to aid you on your journey and you will get there just maybe the scenic route.The last few kilos are the hardest and you have had holidays and injury.Once you are back running the weight will glide off.
I know you are not giving up just frustrated by it.

HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

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?
