Scotsnet healthy eating and exercise motivation

[runningpink]

Thought a wee separate thread would be handy to keep us all going and for the kick up the bums we need, tips and motivation

That sounds a good mix @traintraveller.

Sadly, my tiny dog hates the cold and made me bring her home after fifteen minutes of a walk yesterday 🤣

WouldBeGood sadly I don't have that problem with my large, very hairy dog. He doesn't care about the weather and stares at you until you take him out, he's also 11 and getting slower so we get soaked.

@traintraveller 😂 I’ll be grateful for my princess fog (she’s a JRT too, so should like the wilds!)

Dog!! Not fog.

I will try the rolled up towel today @traintraveller to see if that helps. I'm sure I didn't find it so uncomfortable last time.

Welcome @WhatWouldTheDoctorDo

I am soooo tired and could really go a can of Irn Bru and a Mars bar!

Baby ds still not well. I had to hold him from 10.15pm-1.00am, then he got up again at 3am then again at 5.50am. We all get up at 6.30am anyway so I didn't get back to sleep. It's so hard to motivate myself when I'm this exhausted.

Oh, @shouldistop 💐Think I’d be tempted to go for it with the chocolate, tbh!

I'm going to stay strong. We're going out for lunch tomorrow so will have a dessert then. Have only had chocolate / cake twice in the past month.

Impressed @shouldistop 💪💪😃

I wanted to cancel my yoga class at lunchtime but dh is insisting I go. His point is that it's not like I'll be getting a rest looking after the baby anyway so I might as well get away for an hour and get some exercise. I suppose he's right but I really feel like vegging.

shouldistop go to your class, you'll feel better for it and probably won't get a break to veg at home anyway.

Did you go @shouldistop? I'm trying to summon motivation to do body combat. But DH is cooking and I just want to slump on sofa with glass of wine and wait to be fed!

I went and felt much better for it. We've all just been swimming there too although that's more stopping children from drowning than actual exercise

Ah, good you went and felt better for it. I managed my combat class, which helped me justify wine... Today should be a C25K day but the weather is putting me off so far!

As we're going out for lunch today I'm skipping breakfast to try and make up for getting a dessert. I'm not sure chocolate cake can be mitigated by skipping my bran flakes though 🙈

I think you’ve earned cake @shouldistop!

Trying to force myself into another Saturday combat class… ready but really can’t be arsed

You'll feel better for it @WouldBeGood

Right… I’ll go @shouldistop!

Did it! Thanks fro kick up arse. 😃

Good for you would it is always worth it isn't it. We're at soft play dh is crawling around after the baby and big ds has found some friends. Peace!

Aw! Sounds lovely

We're having this for dinner, usually we would get a takeaway on a Saturday but I haven't had one in a few weeks. Fancied Chinese food so dh found this recipe.

Welcome @WhatWouldTheDoctorDo

Well done @shouldistop for going to the class.
Hope DS is feeling better today?

Iv ran yesterday and today and done a class last night. Going to try and up my exercise and hit 15k steps a day average then target the eating once the kitchen is done

He's a lot better today, thanks @runningpink

Morning all. Good to hear of everyone's exercise over the last few days, it helped me to get out for a C25K run - I'm on week 4. We have visitors this weekend which means I daren't even think about calories consumed yesterday but I hope the exercise helped a bit!

Rest day today on the exercise front, so will be trying to keep the calories down as much as possible and make yo-yo for yesterday.
