STS since last Wednesday. Did a bit better with diet and more various exercise activities, including the indoor weights. Bad weather at the moment has halted outdoor cycling and garden tasks.
Thanks fredsnail.0 -
Sorry the chart is late - unfortunately I couldn't get online last night.

Hi guys, completely forgot to weigh in last week. Granma was taken to the hospital last monday so I was back and forth each night. I was shattered and run down, ended up sick at the end of the week. Missed a 10k race I signed up for too.
Granma is back home again now, thankfully.
Anyhoo....Gain of 3.6lbs over the two weeks (stress and comfort eating)

Didn't weigh myself as did a bit worse than the week before with diet and exercise. Think my weight is still going up? The last two days outdoor exercise (bicycle) has been better; probably because the weather has improved.
Hope both your health improves x_raphael_xx.

x_raphael_xx - I hope that Granma continues to make a good recovery - and that you have a very speedy recovery - it's hard when loved ones are in hospital and it's very easy not to take care of yourself because you are caring for others. Be kind to yourself too.
Dannie - everyone's weight fluctuates due to differing reasons - it's ok - we're all here for the long haul rather than a crash diet and quick sprint. Hopefully with the better weather coming you'll be able to get out more on the bike and that will help things too.0 -
Morning all.
STS for me this week.
Thank you Fred, I have recovered, and Granma is now back home. Still not 100% but getting better.
