My Renpho scale said 67.05kg yesterday so I'm rounding down. ;)

This week it's been easy to stick to IF, peppermint and green tea are still helping with water intake, and although I haven't had to walk to work on many days I've got an average daily steps of 7.6k so far. Doing a group walk tomorrow so will hopefully raise that a bit. Last week my average steps was over 10k so I know that helps too.

Strength workouts are still out of the window, so I'm not sure when they'll come back. I think I went through this last year as well - where winter drags on and I just can't switch my mind out of this kind of latent 'funk' that hangs around at the back of all my thoughts and seems to elevate work and life stress just that little bit so it takes over. On the surface I try to be 'normal' and cheerful and I'm still taking Vitamin D most days when I remember, but I do just wish the temperatures would start to get warmer. I am very grateful that the sun is rising earlier and setting a bit later though!

Still doing my gratitude journal - on Day 19 today. It does seem to help a bit.

I'm taking today and tomorrow off calorie counting. I would normally do it closer to the end of the month, but I'm making lasagne with garlic bread later so it will just be easier this way. I'll resume calorie counting again on Monday for the last 3 week push to my Easter holiday. If I can lose 1kg in those three week that would be grand! For me it's all about getting that daily average down to 1700 or lower and last week it was 1720. I think this week will be closer to 1900 and then if I can get as close to it again for the last 3 weeks I might just make it.

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend! xxx

So relieved that the scale is heading down again. I've been making a concerted effort to lower calories to about 1700 daily average and it must be working. Last week ended on 1820, so hopefully this week's final figures will be better.

No strength training this week yet, but I've walked to work 4 days this week (including one later today) and my average daily steps last week was 8200 and so far this week it's 9585 and we're doing a Meetup group walk as well tomorrow so that is good. Work and 'adulting' stress has gotten to me and been my excuse for not working out, but I've kept up water intake using peppermint and green tea, so there are some wins along with the fail.

I am on day 12 of doing a gratitude journal for 90 days - writing down 3 things I'm grateful for first thing in the morning. Does it matter if I do it later in the day? I'm not sure if there even are any rules so I'll do what works for me and so far it's felt really good.

Thank you to those of you who are my daily inspiration here on FS! Whether you're doing 'all the things' or just showing up for yourself in some way - it's so valuable to me when you share it and I get to join in your victories and struggles however big or small. I haven't been on as much as I like to so far this year so I haven't been around to support and comment as much, but I do appreciate the community that's here and it's great to know I can always come back and pop in when I have time.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend! xxx

This morning I did:
MrandMrsMuscle - 32 minute Full Body & Abs Strength HIIT Workout with weights

with 6.5kg weights and my resistance band.

Not my favourite workout and I don't think I'll be trying any more from this channel. I just felt like she was doing her own workout and there was no engagement. I far prefer HASfit, Kayleigh, Caroline, Funk & Angela, Jessica, Sydney, Juice & Toya and Heather and lots of others who make you feel like you're doing it together. I also didn't like her being on the bottom half of the screen with the timer bottom left as well. I think it would be far better if she's centred with the timer top right, but that's just me nit-picking.

Anyhoo, workout done, burned a few calories. Did 10k steps yesterday. Trying to keep water in-take up and sticking to calories so far. If it's a maintain this week that's fine, but the next 6 weeks need to count so something's gotta give.

Hope you all have a Wicked Wednesday in the good sense! I'm just hoping for no rain later when I have to walk to work. :) xxx
