That is great Lammo.

GM that sounds like a great trip and shows if you balance the hiking and running you can eat most things on holiday.

It was jelly beans not babies that attacked me.

I took my soda stream bottles away with me and worked a treat.So straight an narrow from today.PT this morning and 4 weeks for my 10k! I would like to be fit and well for that one!

I've got a phone call booked with my coach tomorrow afternoon so we can plan the next few weeks. I want to drop a dress size by Christmas and shift the last few lbs - he'll have his work cut out for him getting me to achieve that :)

It sounds like you both are doing well, which is encouraging for me. Thank you both šŸ”„

How did the phone call go GM? Are you all motivated and ready to go?

How are you WP?

I didn't lose any weight last week, and i can't really put my finger on why, still it's been good so far so i'll just keep going, hoping to get back to the gym tonight, which might help in the long run

Hi šŸ‘‹

Iā€™ve been trying to cut down my screen time so am not on here much at the moment, so I forgot to update.
I had a very productive call with my coach. Heā€™s putting me a new exercise plan together to freshen things up,
Iā€™m highly motivated at the moment with everything but exercise - have been since I got home from holiday. Iā€™ve been setting my alarm early and having a quiet hour alone to plan my day and do a bit of reading before the day gets going. Combined with a dip in our new ice tub (without the iceā€¦) early evening, in sleeping really well now.
Except for last night, when Geoff woke in the night and couldnā€™t get back to sleep and the morning routine suffered as a result.

Weight loss is rarely linear, lammo, just hold onto the fact that you did the right things, so the loss will show on the scales when it feels so inclined. Have another good week.

Hello lammo and GM

I agree with GM hold the faith trust the proccess and all will come right.

GM-That is great it all sounds perfect with new routines.Do you have photo ice tub?

I am also trying to cut down on screen time as I did that on holiday.But sleeping is suffering with my shoulder injury so took pain killers last night and i did sleep better just very poor with tossing and turning.
I used to have an hour before I would get OH up but since our move it is not happening.I would get up 5-6am at the moment it is 7-8am and I hate that.
I never kept diary till Saturday so as expected a gain this morning but back on it logging my food and hoping less resting.But sadly still fatigued.New class started this coming Saturday at village hall so going to go along and try it.it is called The works so cardio,weights,circuits and HIIT-it maybe full of young women so will see if any other oldies turn up.It will mean running post session it is 3 miles away so may run back from class;-)

Your shoulder sounds to be impacting in lots of ways, Wp. Hope it recovers soon.
Hereā€™s my ice tub set up

I like to go in when itā€™s dark and Iā€™ve set up lights and candles. Itā€™s lovely

The water's around 16Āŗc and I stay in for 10-12 minutes. I was doing 15 minutes when it was a degree of two warmer, but with the air being colder I don't stay so long now. I will decrease time the colder it gets.
