Anyone starting a diet/healthy eating tomorrow? (29/4)

[Cocolapew]

I recently loss 6lb and was very happy but due to illness have put 8lbs back on .
Im hoping to lose the 8 and then some if anyone is looking for a diet pal.

@MiaCulper Happy bank holiday

Ds1 just text to say that he couldn't be bothered to go food shopping today and could he come over for a BBQ. Luckily I have salmon, sausages and chicken in the freezer so I don't have to suffer the supermarket.

Lovely sunny day so far here, is it so wrong to be excited at putting the washing out on the line

How is everyone doing?, enjoy your day.

Morning
Bizarrely I haven't put any weight on over the weekend , Monday will be my new weight in day.
Overcast here but I live in NI so don't expect anything else.
When I finally shift myself ot of bed, I'm going to give the bathroom and kitchen a good scrub and maybe weed the patio. Its all sex,drugs and rock n roll here

Having a banana and a small glass of grapefruit juice for breakfast, then an egg and ham sandwich for lunch.
Enjoy your day everyone

Howdy doody!

Hope everyone's enjoying their day today with birthdays, weeding and feeding!

Lost 1.5 lbs this week Sounds like a drop in the ocean, but poco a poco!

yogagirl - how are you doing??

Morning all

I ate like a bitch all day yesterday, and some.

I'm really pissed off with myself.

Back on it now though.

How's everyone doing?

Well done, Janie. I’ve found your lost pounds if you want them back...

Back to work today and I’m going to be really good and get back into that elusive ten stone bracket. Kicking off with hot water and lemon.

X-post, jimmy. Don’t be hard on yourself, it is HARD. Better day today.

@MiaCulper yes it is hard but like you say, today is a new day.

It isn't my weigh day until Friday but I just made the mistake of weighing myself and I can confirm that yesterday's binge has put 2lbs on me.

I also ate like a bitch yesterday. It started off good then went to pot around 7pm 😐.
Calorie counting from today, hoping for 1200.
Well done Janie

Morning all! I've been lurking but joining since the 29th :) managed to have one cheat day over bank holiday and get back on the band wagon (normally once I'm off it's over)

I took a picture of myself in my swimsuit (holiday in 4 weeks) as motivation and keep looking at it when I fancy cholcolate and wondering do I want to look the same as the photo or bigger or smaller

Welcome, jellybean. A holiday would be great motivation; I’m sure you can make a difference in four weeks.

Horrible day at work today. I really need to find something else but I am so anxious about putting myself out there and risking rejection. Must NOT fall into the trap of consoling myself with food. Got in, desperate for some alone time, to find DH “working from home”. I’m not sure that watching Wheeler Dealers and eating Toblerone is very hard work...🤔😯

WelcomeJellybean 😀.
Sorry about your day Mia .
I've been pretty good but have just eaten an entire tub of ice cream, just call me Jimmy.
On the plus side it was only 360 calories per tub.
I've eaten about 1400 today.

I'm doing ok. I am now 9 days 100% sugar free, no cravings really although I have felt hungry; the good thing about going SF is that it gives me thinking time and takes away the urgency of the cravings. I didn't count calories last week but this week I'm going to keep to 1200 and aim for 800 on fast days (although I was unsuccessful today, ending on 1000 cals and 40g carbs)

Went for a 7km run and did 1 hour of circuits, hitting 22k steps for the day.

Feeling positive for the week ahead, I am planning to weigh in on Friday so I've hidden the scales until then!

Wow 9 days! I can barely manage 9 hours!
That's brilliant
I don't know what's wrong, I just can't get into the mindset of not flipping eating atm. I usually do good once I decide to cut down.
I still feel like I did when I was on steroids but to a lesser degree

Well done, new.

Do you think it’s the cold, coco? It’s grim here, like November, and it’s making me want all the stodgy food. Tiredness also makes it harder for me to make good choices.

Going to make a salad to take in to work and avoid the cake tins in the staff room. We’ve got two people who seem to be engaged in their own Bake Off competition...

I am just so unmotivated, the last couple of days have not been great.

I will try harder today but not sure how.

No idea Mia. Im still very tired after being ill but seem to be a ball of anxiety as well. I'm not sure what I'm even anxious about . Im presuming its my hormones.

You said earlier that your HRT wasn’t working. Is it worth going back to the GP? I found the anxiety so debilitating, especially as it came out of nowhere with no apparent cause.

Maybe, I definitely think it's hormone linked, I had a teeny weep in work and felt better .
I have got a supplement,Rhodiola Rosea, which is supposed to be good for stress and fatigue.
I'm going to give it a try and see what happens. I only have 6 months left on hrt then I was going to come off it 😫.

I can’t bear the thought of coming off mine and possibly going back to the mess I was in this time last year. It nearly ended my marriage. The rage, the anxiety, the joint pain and the dry eyes (!?). It’s not all night sweats and shop-lifting, is it? And so difficult to get a GP who understands. They must have tested me for everything before I insisted on trying HRT. Ridiculous seeing that half the population will go through the menopause.

I want planning on coming off mine, 51 was the age I was told to definitely take it for to protect my bones.
I'm not keen on staying on it now because of the risk of another clot.
I can't up it for the same reason and I feel like I'll be in limbo on this dose. Having symptoms but not going through it it you see what i mean?

Anyway enough off me whining, hows everyone's day been?
Its bloody freezing here 😐.

Had Aldi “naked” fish cakes for supper - Thai salmon and crab - absolutely delicious. Didn’t check the carbs but with no breadcrumb coating and calling themselves naked, I imagine they aren’t too bad.

DD has gone to cheer a friend who is running 10k around the coast (brrr). She’s got her driving test tomorrow but isn’t at all confident because her instructor got a new car last week and “everything’s different”. She’s a good driver though, very calm and composed even with her dad shouting nonsense directions.

Better day at work today, probably because the Head wasn’t in.

So cold. Going to have a hot bath to thaw out. How are the rest of you getting on?

I thought i had accidentally stumbled onto the menopause board!

I'm 2.5 years post memo and I can confirm that things do get better. It's crap isn't it?

Anyway, I was good yesterday so feeling a little better about things. It's my weigh day tomorrow, I know that I won't have lost any weight so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I haven't gained. I can live with that.

Think I've only had two good days this week but it is what it is.

Hi everyone, I joined on 29th April and haven't been sticking to it at all. Gained 1.5 lbs. Day 8 of a bad period, hoping it ends soon, I am 52 next week and all hell is breaking loose with my body. Been very anxious (not like me at all) and gloomy, heart racing at night. Waves to Coco and Mia.

I have a wedding in 2 weeks and really need to lose some tummy. Being overweight is really getting me down. So, restarting today. I am going to try to give up alcohol as I am pretty sure wine is making everything worse. Back calorie counting. Fish and veg on the menu today, no carbs.

Hi Frankel 🖐️
I've been pretty good, got Highlights hot chocolate to keep me away from chocolate bars. Unfortunately I'm able to pick away at food in work so I have to have some willpower
Had a chicken stir fry tonight, well at 340. I was very hungry

Not the best day today, but could have been worse.

Are we all weighing tomorrow?
