That's great happier

I'm down 0.2 here and only 0.2 away from my lowest ever (which I've only had once). Tomorrow we're out for brunch and I'm going to eat all the food Grin so I need to try and be good today.

Happierwithouthim · 18/04/2019 07:46

I'm going to have my lunch before going to dd's birthday party on Sat so that I can ignore the beige food being served up.

Will go out for lunch on Sunday then and eat well instead. Doing a 4 mile run on Sunday morning so I'll have it earned Smile

Not2bObvious · 18/04/2019 08:42

That’s great news on the weigh ins wreck & happier (on another note did you see mumreloaded isn’t with RH anymore?)
I’m lying in bed scared to even step on the scales, I inhaled a lot of crisps yesterday and 2 big meals and some sangria/vino/g&tBlush

No didn't see that at all, she had become quieter on facebook I noticed alright.

You're on holidays not"

Not2bObvious · 18/04/2019 10:22

Another .6 of a pound on. Hope it comes off as easy as it’s going on! Yes thanks happier. you’re right I am on holidays. I’m going to focus on enjoying my food and get my wee jogs and long potters about in. It’s only 10 days, I’ll get back on it 100% next Tuesday/Wednesday

WreckTangled · 18/04/2019 10:25

I agree I wouldn't worry when on holiday.

Wolfcubisthefemalenominal · 18/04/2019 10:32

So 2.5lb down from yesterday’s scary horror weigh. Not expecting a loss this week but would like to get back to last week’s weight by Sunday

Not2bObvious · 18/04/2019 11:23

I always do but after letting it pretty much ruin my day yesterday - that’s not acceptable for a grown up

It's hard not to be mindful even if you are on holiday. I've been a proper piggie in some sense and making good choices in others.
Imo fwiw it's that relationship with food. I know I can do it if I try but if I relax then I can eat until I'm sick and a bit more.
It's about relaxing but not undoing all the hard work, which is bloody tricky.

Not2bObvious · 18/04/2019 12:51

I don’t know if it’s better or worse because I have a scales in my holiday home - so instead of having to pop into a chemist a couple of times over the holiday, I’ve been able to weigh every morning. Anyway, had a lovely late breakfast & will hold off until early dinner

Wolfcubisthefemalenominal · 18/04/2019 14:53

So far today Skyr and coffee

It’s pie and chips for tea if I can encourage the oven to cooperate

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/04/2019 17:21

Ah but are they calibrated the same. Not

Not2bObvious · 18/04/2019 17:39

Yep life, sadly pretty accurate going on my last 2 trips. I know it’s bloat as it’s physiologically impossible to gain 3-4 pounds in 5 days.

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 18/04/2019 17:46

Dash it. In that case yes it is bloat. You know it is, don't let it mess up your efforts and holiday.
We will climb back on, on Tuesday together.

In not travelling now so have zero excuse to not smash it from then

WreckTangled · 18/04/2019 18:03

Ah man. Have been given chocolate.

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/04/2019 18:04

Lock it away wreck

WreckTangled · 18/04/2019 20:07

I've locked them away...in my belly! 😱🤣 still within calories for the day though.

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/04/2019 20:36
Grin
Wolfcubisthefemalenominal · 19/04/2019 08:27

Another 1/2lb of bloat gone since yesterday. Still over where I want to be but nearly back to where I was last week now.

Trying to encourage ds out for a walk and picnic this morning

lifelongfrugaleer · 19/04/2019 19:59

Ha ha ha ha and more maniacal laughter. Stepped in the scales tonight. Ah well the morning will be better.

Not2bObvious · 19/04/2019 20:14

oh life (shakes head in sad knowledge)
You need to never do that again

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 19/04/2019 20:29

I figured that would be the worst, do got it over with. The lump of chocolate I had after was lush. I'm not having Easter chocolate as the stuff I have in is a waste of calories.
+3lb it was

Not2bObvious · 19/04/2019 21:17

Well you did well - 3lb is my gain after 2 mins on foreign soil😬

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 20/04/2019 07:47

Well this morning wasn't much better 1/4 less than last night.
I feel like a lot is bloat as I've eaten loads of bread.
Back to it today.

WreckTangled · 20/04/2019 08:30

I'm up a bit but not as much as I thought I would be. Am going to do some weights in a bit and try to have a good day should be doable...
