This morning I did: Caroline Girvan - 30 Min EXTREME FULL BODY HIIT WORKOUT at Home | Low Impact I'm thinking my effort/capability was about 80% there, but at least I kept moving through the whole time and did get a good sweat on.
Did alot of walking this week, but Google Fit is doing my head in not tracking two walks I did yesterday - for no clear reason. Also only managed this one YouTube workout this morning for the whole week - I think it's the lack of weights that's not exciting me even though I know I can get a decent workout without them. Need to sort myself out and get some already!
I also need to reduce my calories - last week's daily average was 1986 - way too high. If I can get that below 1800 or even to the illusive 1700 I know I'd have better progress so I might bring back 16:8 IF for a week or so. Considering it for next week.
We got a new George Foreman grill so I'm keen to see if there are some healthy things I can cook on it. Hubby will be making his usual toasted cheeses on it and they're great with a hot bowl of veg and lentil soup in winter, but I don't want to go down that rabbit hole so will try to find some alternatives to have with my soup. Usually I just do some pickled beetroot or feta on top for some stronger flavour and then forego the sandwich altogether, but perhaps a sandwich can be made with large slices of sweet potato - I really want to try that! And it's not winter yet so let the experimentation begin!
This weekend there are some events in parks nearby we might check out if the weather cooperates. Got some camping chairs for a picnic or two so they will be hard to track, but I'll see how it goes.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Thanks PW! Seems a bit windy and cloudy right now, but hoping there'll be a window of a few hours on at least one of the days. 🌤️

Thanks for the great veggie ideas, Mermee! I've only had tofu a few times so need to try it again and that sounds like a great idea! Will be thinking of you this weekend. ❤️

Nikina, you're still working at figuring out where to adjust and still losing, so you're staying ahead of the game. 👍 There are so many options for sides to go with soup. Have fun with it. 😋 I sure enjoy when you share about your park excursions. They sound lovely. 💕

Thanks ccandco! The afternoon in the park was quite lovely. There was a singer just doing cover tracks, but got some of the crowd dancing and there were lots of families with their pets for people watching, which I love. We took our new camping chairs and they're nice and comfy and sturdy and played some cards while we enjoyed the music and atmosphere. It's on tomorrow as well so we might do a repeat if the weather recovers - clouds were closing in as we left. I just read up on your last post - I seem to be a bit behind these days. Hope you're having a lovely weekend and that you're not in any pain from your dental procedure any more. Hope the rest of the process goes as smoothly! xxx
