Exhausting

β€’8 Replies

Well all my eating has been terrible this week. Between barbecues, Indians. Chinese birthday cake and fish and chips.!!!!! However I have done a 30 mile hike....15 miles on Saturday and 15 miles on Sunday returning to my car. I was quite annoyed though as my left knee was very sore on the journey back and I struggled big style. I made it home though to tell the tale. It was swollen and it felt that like all the muscles around my knee were tight. Loved the hike and I do hope to do it again if I am able....glutton for punishment 😊

Most of us have bad weeks - I know I did last week! Let it go, move on and climb back onto the wagon with us. You know you can do it πŸ˜„

Lovely pic, and please be gentle with yourself and your kneesπŸ˜€

Heya. Well done on your hike!

I had a bad week food wise too as I was away at my grandpas. Trifle and big dinners oh dear. Never mind these things happen.

This actually Loch Muick near Ballater. The walk we went on was Tarvside to Aboyne. Aberdeenshire. Hard going but I enjoyed the challenge.

Hi. Life happens! It's what we do overall that counts. I've not been so good recently due to holidays & lots of girlie lunches & catch-ups, but they are important too. Well done for exercising - be kind to yourself and look at the positives. At least you recognise what the problem is - get back on to normal track and you'll be fine and feel better too. Eating out is nice for a while, but I find I'm better eating in my own way. Look after the knees!

To be honest I really need to get back to NORMAL eating...I have had a great week eating but I could not continue to eat like that ALL the time I would be ill. If I loose the weight I might have less pain in my knee.

No, getting back on track is good. If you ate like that all the time it wouldn't be a treat anyway (at least that's what we need to tell ourselves).

This is very true Sue-S. I remember years ago, going to a Chinese restaurant was a treat once a year. Now it is a weekly treat for some.😐
