Week 2 - this week I aim to....

[Cooper27]

How did everyone get on last week?

I aimed to go for a walk every day, and just about managed it, but I was ill on Wednesday and had to stick to my bed. I didn't go for big long walks, just a case of walking to the shops for lunch and back, or going out for 20mins to the local park, but it reminded me how easy it can be to squeeze a quick burst of exercise in.

And now to this week! This week I aim to....

Stick to my meal plan.

The last few weeks have been anything but normal, and I have been easily led astray when my OH wanted popcorn at the cinema, or even takeaway.... So this week I am going to make a healthy meal plan and stick to it. I do allow a few treats, but I will try to build them in to my plan, so I can learn how to say no again.

Hi Cooper,

Sounds like you've had a good week 😃

For me I managed to stay on track 5 out of 7 days and feeling pleased with that!

For the coming week I plan to stay on track all week and increase my exercise !

Here's to a fab week for us all 😜

😇

I did 8000 steps at least twice and 11000 another day, the rest of the week 3-4000, my aim this week is to try more steps every day.

Drink more water, slipped again, I just don't drink enough.

[Cooper27 in reply to Cockneyblue]

That's really good! I struggle to fit in so many steps, but it's a good thing to build up.

Oh believe me Cooper27 that is not normal for me, but I pledged, thanks to you and a pledge is a pledge😀. Good luck for next week

Hi Cooper

Well done on sticking to your pledge despite not feeling well. I hope you are feeling better now?

I enjoyed my holiday with my family a little too much last week and I'm afraid I failed my pledge for last week.

I am home again and ready to get back to it. This week I am going to carry out last weeks goal of 10,000 steps per day. I am also going to up my water intake to at least 1 litre per day.

Good luck with next week x

Just a 24 hour bug thankfully! I'm glad you had a good holiday

Hi Cooper 27 did manage to increase water intake last week,so will continue with this but also have no alcohol this week.I have had two many get togethers in the summer and feel I now need to stop for a while.Good luck with your pledge too.C x

[Cooper27 in reply to Smiley68]

Managed to stay on track on Saturday. Had a bit extra to eat but no naughty snacks. Went a bit off on Sunday but I did over the weekend I did no a flexibility class and and walk on Saturday plus an extra 6 mile walk on Sunday after spending 4.5 hours in the garden in the morning. I also managed to get to the gym this morning too - bad knee was a bit stiff though!

Not sure about this week. Out to lunch in a while with an ex-colleague, a goodbye BBQ evening and I'm away over the bank holiday.

Perhaps to count to 10 before saying yes to another glass of wine and thinking before I eat anything!

[Cooper27 in reply to roberval]

Well done! Far more restrained than me, I think you deserved a little treat on Sunday - you did so much exercise to burn it all off again!
