Wow well done on the weight reduction @rhubarb73 great feeling more spring in your step I’d imagine
@rhubarb73 There is definitely a technique to it and it seems to be counter intuitive from videos and reading. I am doing a 2 week "fast track" version. Interestingly it may be a very big thing on the continent as my Decathlon App has videos by a world champion and a separate heading for Nordic Walking stats. The courses hereabouts are run by a mother and daughter NW Mafia although I am led to believe the daughter is much better as she runs a range of fitness classes. I am with the daughter.
Great idea to plan to deal with it that way but fbg is an odd one and definitely has a mind of its own! I do 16/8 most days still as it suits me and read so much about fasting benefits but it’s not always practical
Welcome @PenguinMum. Interesting that other people also have benchmarks and actions that flow from them. Very programming oriented if statement thinking! Also. Monday is washday - is Tuesday soup day?
Thanks Shelley. It is interesting all the variables but its good to try something different to help. I now have a strong list of reliable food that works for me but as you say it does sometimes hav a mind of its own. Still learning!
Thanks for the welcome Ian. Tuesday might be soup day in a few months lol.Welcome @PenguinMum. Interesting that other people also have benchmarks and actions that flow from them. Very programming oriented if statement thinking! Also. Monday is washday - is Tuesday soup day?
Don’t think I’ll ever stop learning! One of my fave things these days is to watch a clip of a lecture from one of the low carb conferences who’d have ever guessed that! Me interested in the science?
and it's already almost 20'C outside on the shady side of the house She was very amenable to my LCHF diet and interested in the effects so I can only hope that whoever takes over is as open and flexible.
@geefull great fbg as usual and interesting to see how the new GP views your regime - which by the way ( all Ally MCoist for you) has been a massive success. Also, all grass cutting is suspended in this part of the world. I am pretty sure my village will soon hit 2 months without rain. East Anglian Grain Barons pleading poverty - (should maybe stop driving to Waitrose in Range Rover Sports?)
They seem quite a friendly lot here. I n"neglected" them for more than a year and when I popped back no one seemed to mind!
Good luck with new gp but you’d think on seeing your amazing transformation they couldn’t help but support you - but yes I do know how they can be !good morning all
4.8 today
It was very warm during the night here which meant not the best rest
Don't know if I'll get any gardening done, mr gee says he wants to mow the roadside bit outside the fence because there are rose suckers coming up all over.
For myself I have a visit to my GP this afternoon, she's finished her year with the practice and is leaving at the end of the month
Hot weather most defiantly helps... Best thoughts...
@DJC3 Thanks and I promise everyone I will not set targets and eviscerate myself if I don't reach them
I bought the poles when Podiatrist thought my walking problems were CMT but now I know it is my back I believe NW will take the strain off that. I had no idea of the NW videos and special stats area when I bought Decathlon HR Monitor and I am certain I won't be constantly checking stats and looking at how to raise PB. I'm just not that kinda guy
I always do my fbg slightly later than others may, I’m a slow waker so need to visit bathroom, check on family, weigh self make tea etc first before bloods which may explain why I fluctuate as some wakings are more stressful than others!
