Project Fitness, Group effort? Whose up for it?

you can get poke bowls at a lot of places these days. Especially if they can do 50/50 rice/salad it's pretty healthy.

That's kind of what I'm looking for, but the places where I get stuck usually don't have those options, unfortunately.

If you're stuck around schiphol, go to hoofddorp. 5 minutes of the highway there's a poke thing.

Good tip! I sometimes go to that shopping center as well, but that's mostly on Friday during shopping nights and I'm rarely stuck in traffic on Fridays. I do see they are open till 8pm, so I can still drop in on other days. Thanks!

First proper winter run today. Only went 5,25k to try out how it felt, -4C/25F and some snow but no ice yet. Interesting experience, the extra layers of clothes seemed to drag down my already slow pace a bit more but I got it done. Only three months left until the weather gets easier.

I've turned fourteen stone for the first time . . .need to get my arse in gear and replicate some of the good efforts made here.

Not a runner . . Not a bloody chance.

Do you have a proper undershirt? I have a nike compression shirt that I use. That combined with a regular long sleeve, or when it's freezing a thicker one keeps me perfectly warm.
My wife got a nice softshell jacket last week that looks like it'll do the job even without an undershirt.
If it's windy I generally do undershirt, long sleeve and windbreaker.
Winter running tights are also great. I don't like tights but in winter I make an exception.

I prepared with a couple of different compression shirts and tights during the autumn, got a few for regular low temperature wind/rain days and a few for when it's really cold. Using the layer-method I've never really had a problem with the temperature but I would like to get a softshell jacket better suited for freezing temperatures though, I also need to get a couple of long sleeve shirts; While the 5,25k worked out fine it would have gotten too cold on one of my 13k runs.

Get a bike. I bought a mountain bike, I can honestly say I enjoy exercising now. Winter sucks though, I need warmer work out clothes.!

Monthly check-in. My running goes ... ehh ... runs well Also had a couple of sub-zero runs but weather is back in the positives again here.
I started work full time this week and that also added 10k steps to every day.
My arm is getting better. Think I start lifting weights again next week.

Upped my personal record yesterday when I reached 15k, 2k further than the 13k I did last month and inching closer to my next goal of 21k.

During the summer I never thought I’d stay motivated through the winter months but so far I’ve only really missed out on 2-3 runs due to weather or scheduel.

Good for you mate, winter's a real motivation killer.

I'm curious to see whether my job at Chipotle causes weight gain or weight loss...
More activity and generally more exertion than usual, but also... free burrito for my lunch (or burrito bowl, or salad... so I should probably be getting a salad... probably), and 50% discount on one other meal to take home (or when not working, in general), so... gotta do the math on the more exercise to more burrito ratio, there.
In other words, I really need to do the salad... I guess.

you probably aren’t feeling up to burrito anyway when you’ve been in that air for the day.

So I won a hamper in a raffle. It had a lot of alcohol and chocolates in it but also a months free gym membership.

Maybe this is a sign.

I had running training last night. My wife went with my group for the first time and proceeded to outrun me.
It was a rainy evening and I’ve decidedly had better nights running.
But it was good practice and another 7km in the pocket.

Miracles do indeed happen, I finally got my fat ass back on the bike! I did a slightly easier version of my usual loop (around the same distance, 8 miles, but less extreme hills!) because there is no way on Earth I could have managed the harder one today. I still ended up almost throwing up !

I'm buzzed though, I'm down 18lbs and exercising again...now I just need to navigate Christmas!

Ended the year with an 8k, got a decent pace due to basically having spring weather. Started in late May and ended with 610 km/379 miles over 105 activities, averaging 5.8k/3.6mi per run.

I expect to improve these numbers over next year due to having a slow start earlier this year but I’m still very happy with what I ended up with!
