600 steps today...

Safe to say that mood/motivation/anxiety are a bit of a roller coaster right now...

Days like that happen. Don't beat yourself up over it and just go again today!

Set my alarm for 5:30 for the gym. Woke up at 4:45. In a way it's good that I always wake up before my alarm for the gym (and I mean always), but on the other hand it's rather annoying! 

I had a similar one. Back home from Spain after being out there for work, knackered of the plane. Girlfriend suggests a beer.

That was that.  A few beers and chilling.

Will try to get back to it today.

Glad to find this thread and apologies for being a bit long winded.  After a spine injury 6 years ago that’s left my right lower leg and foot largely useless apart from the busted nerves giving me ran

I am eating a double sausage egg mcmuffin. I earned it with the 50 steps I took to get from car to counter.

Today is a DAY OFF.

Day 4 done! Didn't fancy it today as it is was cold and wet out. Did it anyway. ? Ran a bit further too. 

Tried this skipping lark. Felt a bit silly but I think I got it right ?

Anyone feel brave enough to post a weekly weight figure?

Yesterday morning I weighed in at 93.5Kg.

156.5Kgs yesterday.  

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Okay. I'm a 5'5" short-house and weigh 13st 2lbs. Giving me a BMI of 30.3 and into the obese red zone.

The NHS say I should be 10st 10lbs at my heaviest. I don't think I've weighed that little since before puberty.

But I should probably try and head in that direction.

Interesting prog on the radio: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00020zc

It seems:

Exercise burns fat and increases muscle mass

Diet reduces fat but does not increase muscle mass

Muscle is 30% more dense than fat.

That is why people who exercise a lot are often disappointed in low level of weight loss. They may reduce in size but not in weight. Need to do some body measurements ( waist?) to see what is happening.

Need to exercise AND eat less.

My weigh is currently 97 kg, down from 115 kg three  years ago but up 6kg from a year ago. Downward trend resumed.

Yes, I'm not expecting to lose any weight by my middling to low amount of exercise.

I'll need to cut out the Sausage and Egg McMuffins referenced earlier.

So long, old friend ...

I decided not to eat the biscuit that was served with my coffee. Then I ate it anyway, but this point is that I am making a sacifice.

Weight 10st 7bs (66 kilos) Height 5ft 9ins.  Age 76

Todays walk 8.65 miles in 2hrs 28mins. Over a week I average around 35 miles. I also go ballroom dancing 2/3 times each week (wonderful exercise as well as being so enjoyable, Mrs Moose and I only took it up a year ago) In summer I'm also on the bowling green 6 afternoons per week.

If only there were more days in the week☺

Over 12000 steps and a 3.11 mile walk.  Bit chilly mind you!

Day 5 done! An extra few metres on the run. 

Weekend to get through now. Walking in daylight will be good but also got my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary to get through. I'm driving so alcohol won't be a problem but there will be lots of food and "lots of food" is the reason I'm over 21st.

Arrived back from Spain and had an old friend and then my parents arrived. Beer, but no exercise yesterday.

I will be back on it today.
