I hope your dog stays ok! Sleeping better is great, even if it means we see less of you.

the annoying thing was the casual contact knew his wife was being tested that day and did not isolate himself . He and his wife tested positive .

Sounds like you´re doing great on the food and exercise front though, that´s awesome!

Hi Petal, lovely to get an update from you.

Well done on the healthy meals and all the walking. I am starting a walking challenge with a few from work tomorrow for the month of February, which I pray will motivate me bigtime!

If you are your ideal weight by the end of 2021, you will have done brilliantly. Keep at it!

You sound like you are coping better than you think! And yes, here's to a fab Feb.

It’s always lovely hearing from you, Petal. It sounds like you are doing really well under trying circumstances.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your doggie xo

Hi Petal! Really good to hear from you, and so glad you are taking really good care of yourself! I wish I had stayed patient when I was at the last 12 pounds. I got into that mentality that I could relax and not watch things as carefully, but I wasn't at that point where good eating and exercise were a strong habit yet that I kept up without thinking about it. Now I know though! I am really antsy about the lockdown now, too. So happy that the walks really help! I hope your husband will be able to get back to work very soon.

Getting relaxing in is a very wonderful theme for the year! It's wonderful you have a good balance of high productivity and relaxation! Here's to a more relaxed Feb. with hopefully some good news in sight regarding covid!!

Hi all just dipping into say hi . It's been a busy few weeks , my car died twice which was a pain and it cost a bit to get it sorted . It needs more maintenance work but mechanic said it will go another 10 years then . It's going great again . My daughter is looking for a car so think she will take it and I will upgrade .

Work is going well enough . I don't know if it's my mindset or what but I'm ticking boxes and making progress .

Food is good too , very focused and a little group of us came together that were fed up with SW and had a little reset with a more nutritious diet . Think it's going well .

My daughter friend got covid . She has been quite ill and spent some time in hospital . She is 3 weeks into now and still struggling with energy and sore chest . Hope she recovers fully . It's been worrying .

Walking lots but weather really not been great but forcing myself out . It's not too bad once we push out the door.

Loads more going on so just getting the head down and the time is really flying by

Whatever the reason it´s great to hear.

What a great idea! Probably cheaper than SW, too.

Hey Petal, always good to see you here, I am happy you are still around.

Your little group sounds like a really good idea. In my experience mutual support from others who share our eating and weight problems is really important to losing and maintaining. Sounds like your group is just that.

Hope your daughter's friend recovers soon and completely!

Hi Petal! That's great you are doing so well and eating even better with your new group. And so nice you can pass on your car to your daughter and get a new one. Our car is dying, so we had to scramble to get my mom's car in our name, and we're so thankful her car runs great and has low mileage. One of K's friends had Covid, but he made a full recovery and was back in school school surprisingly quickly. I hope all goes well for your daughter's friend. I know what you mean about getting out initially and then the cold doesn't seem so bad once you're out there. So good to hear you're doing so well with exercise and food and that you are even getting ahead in work!!

Hi, Petal. It’s good to hear that you continue to do well. We all need to hear some good news. Your private support group sounds good. What sort of car are you looking to buy?

 

[Emilyrose]

My daughter is looking for a car so think she will take it and I will upgrade .

That's how I got my first car - it's a good idea.

Well done on work going so well and getting out for the walks. It all sounds fab!
