So as we are about to embark into 2024 and our year of fabulousness time for a new thread.

I’m going to begin in earnest next week when the gym is back open but I’m not eating as much this week and mucking out every day for fitness . Weirdly I’ve gone off sweet stuff, long may it last

Spin class today. Not full on as aiming to habit build this month again. All the other classes full for this week
might have to do weights in the gym floor which I find dull

lifelongfrugaleer · 06/01/2025 14:56

DH and I have started a new Peloton FTP programme today. DH actively volunteered for this, I didn't have to persuade him.

He's accepts that he needs to start a weight training programme but he hasn't done the basics to facilitate that as yet.

He had a follow-up appointment last week and he was hoping to be signed off as all clear for 1-2 years. However, in the 15 weeks since his last procedure, he'd developed another crop of polyps, some of them surprisingly large if they'd grown from scratch in the last few weeks. He's still finding all this quite a shock so he's a bit grumpy that he'll need several follow-ups a year for a while. (He still thinks of himself as immortal and in his 20s.)

I'm still below my previous floor but I've made no more progress. However, I know that I've been largely running round and putting off my own needs to meet other people's and it's done me no good at all.

So, DH and I will both see how we get on in 2025.

Great news in the peloton hack and Yy this is the year you must begin to prioritise yourself.

sorry to hear about the new growth, more hospital stay will be hard.

I’m vexed as I could have got in the class this morning as 11 people cancelled and there were 9 on the wait list. I stayed in bed instead. Never mind.
