Thank you lovely Cate x

And thanks LaMa and Cowboy <3 She was very young to die, unfortunately she was a fan of using aerosols to get a buzz on and it killed her. Wish kids realised the risks of it all. I'm all for cannabis being legalised, no one ever died from a joint and yet we lose kids every month to 'legal highs'. Such is life.

Only 12,000 steps yesterday - was at the funeral and then went home and slept so wasnt very active but still did a little walk. Today so far is at 13,000 and its only 3pm so hoping for a good day. Volunteering at the soup kitchen tonight so will be keeping busy and away from snacks and wine!

ONLY?
I am happy with 12,000. You, young lady, are going to make me feel like I'm a sloth!

Haha, sorry Cate! I just meant for me!! I'd like to have done a run but didn't have time :p I've lost no weight this week though!

19,000 steps done yesterday, was mental at the soup kitchen, very busy. Slept very well last night. Got a visit in Southampton today so on route at the moment on the train, then I have the rest of the day off so meeting a friend. Calories were 1200 yesterday so hoping for a loss tomorrow/today when I weigh in!
 
I did almost 20,000 steps yesterday. So Monday to Friday this week I did over 86,000 steps and 40 miles. That is pretty awesome if I do say so myself. I've been sleeping really well too. I made a slow-cooker chickpea and halloumi curry last night with quinoa which was lovely. Calories came in under 1300 so I'm expecting a loss this weekend. Although my friend and her new girlfriend are descending on us at any moment (why does making plans always seem amazing until it's actually time to follow through with said plans?) and the weather is shit so I imagine we will be doing a lot of beer drinking and food eating and not much else.. We shall see..

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of myself for this week - even if the scale hasn't moved that much. Goals for next week are 10,000 steps a day at least, gym at least twice and under 1600 calories each day.
 
Way to go on your steps. Do you think you're walking more because of the fitbit or did you always walk this much?
 
Thanks lovely. I've had my fitbit since Septemberish - I've walked at least 10,000 a day since then and yes, it 100% has made a huge difference. It's so motivating and I now walk to work every morning rather than take the bus as that does 3500 steps before 830am! I love using the app, going to the gym and seeing the numbers go up, seeing how many miles I go etc. It's been a huge help. Feel so much fitter now - take steps instead of the elevator etc. It promotes little changes that all add up :) I did always walk a fair bit though - in the UK it's quite standard for people not to drive and to walk everywhere.
 
Doesn't it get super cold in winter to walk around all the time? Or do you brave the cold and go out? ;o
 
Haha, it's always cold, rainy and windy in the UK, especially by the sea where I'm from! No, if you bundle up warm and get moving you warm up soon enough. There's a chap on here who has to go running in a balaclava it's so cold where he's from! Not that bad here..!
 
Urghhhh I was fucking hideous this weekend. Drank SO much on Saturday night that I barely moved yesterday. Did 13,000 steps on the Saturday but about 3 steps yesterday. And I'm pretty sure they came from when I fell off the sofa trying to reach my coffee. Weight was back up this morning - I had a healthy curry last night but think the damage was done by the booze and nice food on Saturday. Today I am going to the gym straight from work and eating a healthy, balanced meal tonight!! And I will be logging my stupid, shitting food as well. I need to get my butt into gear - and the wine needs to goooo :(
 
What's got two thumbs and is having pearl barley, quinoa and vegetables for dinner whilst I make Yank chicken burgers and home-made chips?

*gouges eyes out with thumbs and cries for eternity.*
 
:rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao: I know I'm an insensitive bitch but that last post made me lol so much! People are giving me funny looks...
 
Hana- you do have a way with words. Hilarious! I hope you have gotten back on the straight and narrow. Sounds like you have!
 
haha! Oh, that made me laugh! Sorry, Han! You're doing great though!!! :)
