The being at home positivity thread!

@Antm72 - I made two changes, eat less & exercise more. Bought a fitbit, aimed for 10000 steps a day and struggled through. My mainstay now is walking & cycling.

Injuries have been a problem along the way, had some physio and chiropractic adjustment which have really helped. I'm just glad I decided to do this before I hit 50, although I'm well ahead of the plan as I'm "fit" at 47.
 
Same kind of boat as me mate i hit 48 this year and i average about 10-15k steps aday. Leave yhe van at home and now cycle.
My wife tends to be a feeder =)) She cooks for 4 eats a child portion and gives me a mountain !If i stop eating she asks whats wrong with it :arghh:
Told her it has to stop as its eating fir the sake of eating.
Losing on average 1/2 to 1lb aday at present but doing heavy work.

My mainstay eating is a meal replacement shake called Huel, and that initially helped me get to grips with calorie counting and intake. Fills me up so I generally felt less hungry. Had that for breakfast and lunch then a "normal" evening meal, but smaller portion.

The last 6 months I've been intermittent fasting on a 16:8 pattern, meaning I only eat between 11am and 7pm every day - nothing outside that time just water or black coffee. Got a great mobile app called Zero which keeps track of everything for me. Biggest thing was that it stopped me eating in the evenings, but also promoted a more consistent eating pattern. I generally eat the same amount of calories as before, although I generally feel less hungry most of the time anyway. Quite often get past 11am and don't feel hungry.
 
Well with the eggs the ducks loving supply and the fact that I can not drop any off.. I just had to make a great classic lemon sponge. @spurs fan in a coupe can mock all he wants. My ducks are egg layers and not for eating. You listen @Nodzed ... @mid life crisis

:whistle:

And before anybody says anything. We all get along fine, the banter is what keeps us all going. And right now it’s very needed.

The "T" one is always available Niall.;)

I spent the day cutting the grass at a community garden, easy to keep away from others. I was paid up until last year to cut it as I was part of the grounds team of the local council. They have all refused to work more than 4 hours a week even though there is plenty they can do alone and away from anyone. I left after my whistleblowing led to three successful prosecutions involving someone involved with the council. I am now doing there work for free =))=))=)) BTY the council wasn't Dunstable where I live , they are fantastic.
