This might sound a little silly... Today I progressed to full planks at the gym, and being able to hold it for more than 10s (managed 30s). I was so pleased I did it again straight away to prove I didn't imagine it! This is a really big marker - I've never been able to manage full planks!
I'm still feeling really tired at the moment, and it's making me susceptible to picking up sugary bites to eat, or something a little easier to prepare. Think I'm entering into the self-sabotage faze of my diet!0 -
Hi all
Today was not too bad at all, it is making me think about having to confess on here so I don't want to over eat!
B hot water/ lemon/all bran/sultanas/ss milk
L hummus oatcakes apple
D HM lamb burger/ couscous /roast veg
S grapes apple flapjack
Drinks water;1tea

Minicooper - not sure what planks are but you have obviously worked hard to get to that stage, could you have a non-food treat of some kind maybe? Good on you for managing the planks. :TMFIT -T5 #420 -

It's like a push up, but you stay in the up (arms straight) position and hold for as long as possible. But just as you will do an easier push-up on your knees, you do similar for a modified plank. Today was the equivalent of moving up to a full push up on your toes instead of the knees!0 -
B - missed
D - chilli jacket with side salad, bread and butter pud with cream. Would have been rude to refuse after my friend went to all that trouble to make it
T - 3 slices wm toast 1xStilton, 1xVegemite, 1xapricot jam
S - banana, grapes, lemon tart
E - Step on stairs, housework.
Will be able to walk again when I find someone to put the new treadmill, which turned up today, a week earlier than promised, together
Sweet dreams
