The Small Changes Support Thread

[Libbylulu]

Been feeling a bit out of sorts and I’ve had a lot on recently. So today my plan is to eat healthier, take probiotics and drink more water. I’ve been eating so much sugar and carbs and my body is bloated and heavy from it. I’m documenting it here so I actually do something about it

I have it's good! Yeah the jam one tastes like sweet milky water, it's weird don't do it

My MIL popped over today and said to hubs that she is feeling really lonely atm and starting crying, she is lovely and we don't see her much,
so I think making more time for others instead of being a hermit at weekends would be a good small change to add for myself too

This list is getting very long

19 days walk! Imagine the steps though

My boyfriend hits 34k steps when he’s at work all day and has a long walk in the evening (mostly in the summer) I never hit more than 22k but on an average day it’s about 10-15k

Remember guys - even if you feel like you've not done enough/many steps - if it was more than you would have otherwise done it's still a victory!

I didn't park at my usual car park this morning, I chose one which is further away so I've managed to get 2,000 in before work Hoping to go out on my lunch break for a wander too but the sky is looking full of something atm so depends on the weather!

Or better yet walk, to get our steps up

And I would walk 496 miles, and I would 496 more. Just to be the woman who walked 992 miles to fall down at Zagreb because I don't know where @strawb lives.

So close to 500 miles that it's painful

Aw I love this idea for a thread! A few small changes I'd like to make:

- less impulse buys - think more about what I am spending and whether I really need it or just want it
- waste less food. Prepare/chop veg etc and freeze it rather than chucking it away. Think how I can make use of stuff rather than letting it go off and get binned.
- Try to lose weight, at least 2 stone, but if that doesn't happen I just want to learn to be happy with my size and not focus on every little lump/bump/curve.

i'm at home now and the baby is napping, I'm currently on 10k steps and feel like i need a nap myself

 

[watermelon sugar]

he’s ok! He’s just torn open part of his gum but there’s nothing they can do with it it’ll just heal by itself they said! So he’ll be a bit moody for a few days I think while it’s sore!

im treating him and me to a McDonald’s for all the trauma today. So I guess my diet will have to wait till tomorrow nothing like a random Thursday to restart is there!?

 

[watermelon sugar]

I’ve just got into bed, I’ve ended the day on 13,059 steps!

I've been doing so well with not snacking after meals recently until yesterday when I scoffed a whole box of maltesers at 7pm Must not snack today!

I started drinking 2litres of water a couple of weeks ago so that not everything was a shock in the new year. I’m also trying intermittent fasting. I’d love to lose 10 pounds in the next couple months or so

@GladiatorReady get a taxi 4 miles the other direction to begin with to make it a nice 500 mile trip

 

[Betty701]

Hi @watermelon sugar hope you’re ok and baby melon is ok too. I’m on 10282 so far think I’ll reward myself with some chocolate later.

 

[coconochanel]

you should be able to download an app to your phone!

I could always take a walk to B&M and have a wander round that should get my steps up

 

[WilmaHun]

I can’t remember a day passing recently without eating chocolate

 

[lemonlime]

Stretched today for the first time in maybe a year? I used to be a lot more flexible, the situation doesn't look too bright. I'll spend a few minutes rolling out muscles and stretching every day, when I am more comfortable with daily stretches, I'll try more intentional routines. The ultimate goal is to achieve splits by the end of the year.

 

[Libbylulu]

I need to Drink more water. I start off well first thing with 2 glasses of warm water, always with good intentions that I’ll drink regularly throughout the day. It never happens.

 

[watermelon sugar]

Let’s be honest would it really take 19 days though?! We’d stop on the way for a McDonald’s probs everyday
