HotMamas - Five years on, are we fit or are we fat???

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

I'm in a taxi back from a meeting in London so had 5 am start today . Not sure what that will do for my eating patterns as starving already. I am working from i

Home this avo so might manage a quick shred later.

Congrats in 2 off Fjorn - I need to channel your weekend absteinance.....

Helga - hope you have stepped away from the biscuits!

Level one shred with weights done followed by a Rice Krispie cake

Read a thread earlier in the chat section, was titled something like "don't want to be a fat mummy". Was people talking about binge eating and even though it's been years since I binged, it's all I can think about right now. Fuck.

Oh Helga, sorry to hear it has been triggering

Just always remember it is always the first 2 or 3 mouthfuls of any food which taste delicious; the rest is mostly treating your body like a dustbin. And we are NOT dustbins. We all deserve to be healthy and happy and it IS within our ability to make that happen.

Stay strong and move forwards. Tis a better place

Honestly sazz you could have given us the pep talk before I ate a few biscuits

Fasting again tomorrow though so will undo my greed today...

Sorry!

I have retreated to the bath as dh has had a shit day and opened some wine so I am hiding here to avoid temptation

Back hurting from the 6w6p DVD yesterday . Think I should stick to running and shred where I can do the moves without hurting myself.

Reasonable on food today but no fasting as u was up too early!

-1.5 to 10.9. Period arrived today, just in time for my romantic evening away tomorrow

Think I need to squeeze some exercise on today if I have any hope of a loss for the week.

Well done on the wine swervage and the loss Sazz. Bugger re period but will that lead to another couple of lbs off?

Biscuits and blue cheese led to +1 from yesterday. I am such a nob and will never get back under 12 at this rate... Fasting now, got tuna salad to look forward at teatime and hoping against hope for a -4 overnight...

Made it through the evening without a binge and today the urge has passed. Thanks for the pep talk! It really took me by surprise because it has literally been YEARS and I would never have called myself a binge eater as I didn't do it that often, maybe every few months. It was usually linked to a period in my life when I was unhappy or anxious. I'm the happiest I've ever been now and not generally anxious (besides new baby and elderly parents).

Glad to hear you are in a happy place Helga . Focus on happy and healthy. That's what I tell the kids!

Fjorn - you nob cheese

Good luck on the -4. Stranger things have happened.....

Sadly my period arrival is not typically accompanied by loss; I lose it in the week before . Done ok for food today but dh is trying to derail me with bubbles as I had some good work news today. I am back to hiding on the bath with squash but may have a celebratory G&ST later. All within cals obvs

Still at 10.9 so +1 for the week. Really need to have a better weekend (same story)

So, away tonight so will have tonight off and try to get back on with it Sat. Will try and come here and post to keep me on the straight and narrow. Gym this morning so can bank a few calories for later.

Sadly -4 was beyond my ability, -2 overnight to 12 5 so down 1 on the week but still +1.5 on the Friday before half term. Bugger.

Sazz hope you have a fab weekend you may not be down this week but you are way down in the 10s so are nearly at your target!

Helga well done for avoiding the binge. Hope you have a lovely weekend too

My next task is to stop eating. Just had my cottage cheese salad lunch and finished it off with a chocolate chip cookie. Want another biscuit now despite being v full. Got to resisit...

Where are you ladies for Friday weigh in?? >

1hr brutal circuits and 10 mins powerplate. Hoping to go for a walk this avo

This morning I also signed myself up for a mini triathlon at the gym -2.5k run, 10k bike and 800m swim. I won't beat my time if 2 years ago but thought fuck it, can't hurt to do it even if I will be slower.

+4 oops. Also crushed my toe which might hurt rather a lot when trying to do a triathlon. Grrrrr

Back to it today.....

Ouch Sazz what did you do to your toe? Joining in Strictly on Saturday??? Hope it feels better soon.

Am with you on the +4 too despite no booze on Sunday again. And so far just eating cake today but it's so cold in our house that the shivering must be using up a few calories...

I opened the airing cupboard door onto it, such that the corner gouged out the flesh around my second toe. Lots of blood and still feckin hurts

Food ok today but not brilliant. Missed lunch so got tempted by leftover sandwiches from a meeting. Will try to resolve with smaller tea.

Lots of cake in this house as dd's birthday, so will be out fur tea one night as well....

Ouch you nobber that's just the sort of thing i'd do hope it gets better v quick.

Not too good here either, not too bad either but quite a few wedges with tea. Tomorrow is a fasting day so hoe to get the weekend loss off then. Will be having similar cakey issues for DD's birthday at the weekend, also fish and chips for tea, yum, but countered by not much drinking on Saturday night as have DD plus four other 7 yo girls for a sleepover. Fuck what have I agreed to????

Ha ha, I started off with 2 children staying on Sat but one bailed out when another child went home as had been arranged

You lucky bugger!!! I'm sure five squealing girls will be fine...

Down 1.5 to 12 7.5 so a bit down on last Tuesday. Fasting today, well mainly drinking tea tbh. There is a box of luxury cadbury's biscuits on the cabinet next to my desk . I'm not sure I can resist the temptation

Resist, resist, RESIST!!

Evens here which is not unusual for a tues so pressed on with 8k walk/run in the sunshine

I keep forgetting to weigh myself! Wondering if it's subconscious! Made a caramel apple cake yesterday but I'm trying not to eat it all by myself!

Mmmm caramel apple cake sounds lush Helga save me a bit!!

Managed to keep away from the biscuits today , do OK if I have the definite 'no' of a fast day; let's see how tomorrow goes hollow laugh the plan is that I am not having anything apart from my brekker yoghurt and lunch salad. It's not long to Christmas and it's just food. I CAN DO IT!!!

Sazz your exercise sounds lovely, it's looked like a gorgeous day from the grim interior of my office. Hope this means your toe is feeling better

A poor -1. Need to do better......

Good luck swerving the cake today then Sazz esp if L had you up at the crack of dawn -1 better than nowt.

I amazingly managed -2.75 and am down to 12 4.75 so really not having any biscuits today and seeing if I can do a proper loss this week...
