Dug out and planted 5 trees, shit soil so was a mission. Weeding, Mowed lawns. 15 minutes of stretching. I'm done. Going to see how the body feels tomorrow and decide if I take the day off.

Feeling fitter and stronger which is coming off a low base but feel like I'm able to do progressively more each week. Weight loss has plateaued at 98kg. Still 3kg to go by dec 24th but I'm actually not as worried or focused on that now

Too tired to post last night. Did stretching as my lower back was tight. Walked for an hour with my son's while Mama made a lovely dinner.

Worked a shorter day today and just finished a stretch and Pilates. I'll be ready to try some new stuff in November but for now it's working on the discipline of not stopping

Have been concentrating on Pilates and one and a bit months in I'm still a novice. Determined not to stop though so how's anyone else tracking this month? Exercise, eating, sleep wise?

Stretching/Pilates has been the biggest change for me I think since joining this thread. I need to do more of it than I am though. Diet wise I have been going ok with a few cheat meals thrown in. Sleep wise I have had probably my best run for a long time. Still have the odd night where I struggle to sleep but that's a huge improvement on previous. Starting Monday I am giving everything I can a step up to try and push through for my Dec 24th goal.

Continuing the process. The best part was lamb chops and mashed spuds with beans and a bit of gravy.

Exercise wise......... A walk. With family. About an hour's worth loop. Stretching everything that would stretch.

Way to go mate. I just did a day of gardening for my wife who needed some muscle. Tonight I did calf raises on single then both legs. Hamstring bridges and glute bridges. Pilates lower back and core which took me 25min because I needed to slow down the movement to get max benefit which was challenging.

Small tub of yoghurt

Handful of roasted, unsalted cashews

Crumbed fish and salad

Two litres of water through the day.

Wasn't feeling it today with the exercise and pilates. Also, I'm listing my eating for the day partly as motivation and partly because I was finding I was snacking without realizing how many times I was doing it

Tomorrows plan is to make up for some of the exercise today

You might benefit by stretching the shins. There's good advice on google.

Prepping your food in advance or even straight after breakfast might help to introduce more fruit and veges during the day.

All the best with weigh in.
