Getting Serious in September

[Octopus37]

Here is the new thread. Thanks for the title @theHoneyBadger.

Weighed in at 8st12.5 this morning, 0.25 down from the beginning of August. No specific aim for me other than to eat a bit more healthily cause I've had a wierd lurgy the last few days, not covid have tested several times. Love September cause it always feels like a new beginning.

Enjoy the gym @TheHoneyBadger, hope your DS is feeling better soon

#balance

You nailed it, @LBB2020!

Omg just saw reference up-thread to fish and chips! Two things @ @TheHoneyBadger: (1) yummmmmmm; and (2) that actually perfectly illustrates @LBB2020’s balance point!!!

Have a great day, everyone x

8st12 this morning. Not enough steps yesterday. Have made that GP appointment for Thursday. Hope everyone has a good day

@Octopus37 @TheHoneyBadger hope your DSes are feeling better. @LBB2020 you are smashing the steps!

DS2 is back to school after Covid, and I made it back to the gym last night. Wasn't sure how I'd be, still have the last of my cold hanging on. But I think I was so happy to be back out of the house properly and I worked hard on my cardio. Feel so much better for it today. Food wasn't great again yesterday, but now I'm back at the gym I will hopefully be better.

Although the mention of fish and chips, we are having those on Friday night with MIL.

Forgot to mention 11st 13.5 today, not deserved, expected higher.

Glad you’ve got a GP appointment booked @Octopus37.
Well done on getting to the gym @LadyDanburysHat!
I didn’t have the best day yesterday and the weather was shocking so didn’t hit my steps. Today is a new day and I’m going to attempt an exercise video later! x

Morning everyone!

@Octopus37 Glad you’ve sorted your appointment - I hope it goes well and the GP provides some helpful advice.

@TheHoneyBadger Hope those of your family who’ve been poorly continue to recover speedily.

@LadyDanburysHat Wow at your motivation in spite of feeling slightly sub par! Bloody well done, and I reckon a less than perfect food record for a day plus gym is always going to be better that a leas than perfect food record withOUT the gym!!! I think your scales agree…and congratulations!

@LBB2020 Today is a new day. And tbf the weather yesterday was appalling so I can totally understand not wanting to go out in it!

Omg the fish and chips chat lingers - cue a little drool for the second day in a row…

I will weigh in shortly - just about to do a work call - and I think I’m a day late doing it, so apologies!

My number today is 59kg (so 9st 4lbs). I’m super-pleased with that ofc but think probably I need to slow things down and look again at my food to make sure I’m sensibly balancing out all the exercise I’m doing. I also realise now how utterly daft my fret was about my “massive steak” the other day - tbh I think I was too preoccupied with short term effect rather than the (as it turns out, nil) impact of that steak over a whole week! I guess I’m just trying so hard to stay committed and at the time I had (ridiculously, I now realise) thought I’d blown it a bit. Anyway, it’s all a learning curve!

Made it for a gentle swim yesterday and a tai chi class, so a much less strenuous gym session than some. Today I’ve got some light weights and a bit of cardio planned, followed by the first tonight of two consecutive boozy work dinners! Eeeeek!

Thanks @MoominFeatures. I'm very impressed by all the exercise you fit in. You're right about balance though. 8st12.5 this morning.

Back to 12:12 today. Not surprised as I had a run in with some jaffa cakes last night.

May be going to the gym tonight. Feeling very tired and a bit sick this morning so will see how that pans out.

I managed a short exercise video the past couple of days and also a walk but I haven’t been the best with food (went to visit my aunt who insisted I ate cakes!). I can’t believe it’s October already!

Hi everyone, here's the new thread.
