Gymfreak 6 Jan 9:41am, 6 Jan 2025 9,767 posts	0 Gymfreak I've been injured for 3 months and eaten all the xmas goodies (which are not yet gone!!!) so I'm not in a good place! I would love to lose a stone but that's probably unrealistic and 10lbs or so more likely, although I haven't actually braved any scales because I'm too scared of what they will tell me. My clothes tell me that they won't be kind so I really need to be more mindful of what I'm eating. I'm back riding a bit now though not too far and back in the gym. Can't run yet (been running injured since May ffs) but physio has suggested I start back with (don't laugh) C25k from this weekend. I tend to eat better when I'm exercising more so hopefully as I do more everything will improve as I don't feel happy or comfortable with myself currently.

Gymfreak 6 Jan 10:57am, 6 Jan 2025 9,769 posts	0 Gymfreak I am not that person!!!!! I absolutely love Christmas flavours and Christmas anything so it's never going to happen. I also can't throw away food full stop so it's a ration it situation!

We have a bit of cheese to get through but I will have little and often and within my allowed calories. I need to address the wine as well haha.
