That’s not too bad @cheekysausage123, have definitely been there (and worse). I have a pub lunch with friends tomorrow and then for dinner DH is insisting on making various Indian dishes including tandoori chicken, naan and I forget what else. So I will no doubt be joining you in the slight overindulgence 👍

@gimmemounjaro I had a fab class, thank you! 😁

Um, I do a lot - I work out 6 days a week…
2 yoga
5 Pilates
3 spin
3 body pump
1 core
3 runs

I also have dogs 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m very keen to start lifting in the gym so will have to dial down the body pump a bit.

I’m about to dive back in to instructing (after 20 or so years out!) so things will change and I might not have as much time for my own training.

Wow that is impressive, you must be super fit and in great shape. Amazing to get back to instructing again too. I read 6 days a week and thought, oh yes, me too. Difference is that I do one thing a day, and frequently talk myself out of even that 🫢

I had a nice little routine in the summer of running early in the morning (and then would do weights early on non run days) but it’s cold! I really need to sort myself out - last winter I stopped running for months because of the cold, what a wimp!

Not a wimp at all! I have moved inside onto a treadmill partly due to the weather and partly due to the number of hideous hills around here😂

Just going into week 8 of the c25k and honestly don’t know if I’ll ever run again when I’ve finished it 🤦🏼‍♀️ I KNOW it helps my fitness hugely and I feel fab when I finish a run but bloody hell it’s awful whilst doing it!

I actually have to stop myself doing more which is probably as big a problem as not doing enough. I remember how much I love pushing myself physically and the sense of achievement when I can do something I previously couldn’t. I am also terrified of becoming a frail old lady! The only thing I ever struggle to feel motivated to do these days is a 7am spin but I will admit to a bit of a crush on the instructor so that drives me up in the mornings😂😂

Yesterday - wk69, day 3, 5mg, dose 8 (maintenance)
B: slice of whole grain rye with cream cheese
L: scrambled egg etc
D: chicken and mushroom pasta, broccoli, an apple
S: apple, salted cashews
Usual supplements (I haven’t listed these for ages - greens, creatine, bovine collagen, vit d, biotin, omega 3, glucosamine and chondroitin, iron energy), green tea, 2 litres of water (electrolytes after too much gin on Friday🤦🏼‍♀️), 2 glasses white wine

Have noticed my weight drops to 8st 1 or 2 early in the week then climbs to 8st 4 or 5 towards jab day. I don’t feel like I’m restricting anything in any way and am wondering if there’s maybe a little room to drop to 3.75 🤔 May just try out of interest and see what happens…

That’s what I need - a hot instructor 😂
