Well done both Pauls :fsgrin:
I have been on an ever upward trajectory due to emotional eating and reverting to many habits I thought Id conquered only to find them resurfacing rapidly with so much going on in my family life
Ive gained a whole stone since my Mum passed away even with rowing loads of meterage..my muscle mass as shown on my bathroom scales is a paltry 29.5 fat is up and I need to sort myself out pronto, but its hard at moment
Never give up... :fsgrin:

Carole, you are amazing to be able to motivate yourself to get on the erg every day and put in the amount of time and effort it takes to cover so many meters. As you acknowledged in a previous post, you need to cut yourself some slack. Losing a parent is a very traumatic experience and it takes time to come to terms with your loss.

Be kind to yourself and don’t worry if you put some of the weight you have lost back on. You’ll get things back on track when the time is right.

Thanks Paul. But my trip to Portugal starts from next Thursday. And I’m pretty hopeful that there will still be plenty of delicious Portuguese food available, not to mention copious quantities of delicious Portuguese wine.

Day of reckoning after 23 days in Portugal. As expected, I put on weight, but I'm still in the amber zone by the skin of my teeth!

Me too Carole. After my visit to Portugal, I went to Connemara for a week with a large group of relatives and I’m currently in the middle of a 3 day stay in a hotel in Donegal that was booked months back when I didn’t know if we’d be able to get away at all.

The fact that I’ve been doing no rowing doesn’t help. I went to see an osteopath last week (having already tried pretty much everything else without much success) and I’m all aches and pains and think he may have done more harm than good. Due to go back to him, but I’m thinking of cancelling.

I am also starting a diet. My goal is to lose at least 10-15 kilos in 3 months.

And I’m back in Portugal! Too many temptations here. I’ll worry about it after I get home in just over two weeks’ time.

I've also let things slide - not enough rowing, and too much eating.
I am swimming and doing lots of walking but that is just making me hungry and I am eating enough for a medium-sized family!!
On the plus side I was the only one of 9 walkers not to get blown off my feet in the 70mph+ wind gusts up on Tennyson Down yesterday :lol: :lol:

For the record, I weighed in at 96.5kg this morning - up 2kg in one week!!
I have been trying to convince myself that the swimming and high DF rowing has added muscle, which it has, but not 7kg worth :lol: :lol:

Just to close off on this thread, I weighed in on 1 January 2022 at 100.5 kg, an increase of 1.3 kg over the year. #-o Considering the problems I’ve had with my back and my general misbehaviour as regards eating and drinking, I guess it could have been a lot worse! :roll: Need to do better this year!

My recent yo yoing is down to emotional eating as well as Christmas with half my family down with covid so couldnt join us so we decamped to my younger sons new house and he is a very good cook and pours a lovely wine too
New Year I opened some naughty chocolates so its a massive carb gain which I hoped to row off BUT caught my toe on a large rocking horse and am now slowly rowing one legged whilst the purple bruises fade !!! Couldnt make it up could you
