Get Fit Together

I actually got on my exercise bike and rode for about 15-20min yesterday. I was sick last week so I’ve been a couch potato

That's great.

Junk food is hard to deal with. Any strategies for just saying no in the grocery store?

Check into pickup/delivery options and preferably from a Whole Foods type grocery
Meal planning also helps avoid impulse purchases

Once you get the cravings under control, then it’s easier to avoid junk purchases when you shop in the store

I've been working on the meal planning and thus far it's been helping.
Still struggling with the junk food other people buy, but I haven't bought any myself in a week or two.

A little while a ago, we did a bit of a meal change.
Traditionally, we would eat toast for breakfast, then the main meal for lunch (think meat and three veg) and then we would have supper.
Supper was always a bit of a problem, to think what to have, and we quite often ended up with something unhealthy, like just some biscuits or buns from the supermarket.

But now, we eat the same breakfast, but don't have any lunch, or maybe just some fruit and water.
And then dinner in the evening, which is what we had for lunch before.
And you know what? I think I dropped about 2 or 3kg just from that! And as I was getting more exercise at the same time, gained some more muscle as well.

That's great to hear!

We're slowly getting there. I have been walking 3-4 times per week, with salads for dinner about twice a week.

Small win: I noticed visible muscle growth in my biceps today.
