You've had a good summer of running, Ness. It's nice to do a race purely for enjoyment, rather than having a time pressure. Let us know how it goes.

I had pleasing numbers on the scales this morning - 2.2kg off since last week. I think it was a bit generous and will be higher again tomorrow as I'd run long yesterday.

Nice GM, i'd love a result like that, unfortunately my eating doesn't suggest that's going to happen any time soon.

In brighter news, i drove a little today for the first time in almost 6 weeks, so we should be a go for getting back in to the gym on Monday, woohoo

So at least i'll be stronger and fat, which is better than weak and fat :-)

Morning all, hope you're well.

I did go to the gym last night and enjoyed it, but it was busy and i can only really do leg and core stuff still, so it was fairly brief, but it was a start and i shall be returning on Thursday.

In other news, i'm the heaviest i've ever been, must control my eating.

Have a great day.

Morning all! I’ve been missing in action but got home yesterday so thought I’d check in.

I’ve tried really hard to stick to a good diet/exercise routine for the last 2weeks but was disappointed to see the scales had only gone down by 0.4kg. I’m still feeling determined though so shall stick at it!

Good work getting to the gym, lammo :-) I listened to a podcast last week that basically said “exercise to maintain weight, eat healthier to lose weight”… I keep reminding myself of that when I’m tempted with a sugary snack.

Got something to say?

Nightowl: Under 10st by 31 Dec & 15 mpw min.
Drink more water.
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?

Lammo:

Lose 8 kg by end of year

Exercise for 7 hours per week (i'd rather not include walking, but am sure i will to start with)

Run 5k comfortably (might include jeffing, but it’s the comfortable bit I’m after)

I’m doing it by:

10k steps a day (I’ve just hit my longest streak of 18 days)
