The one where we get into our old jeans

[Seer]

Hello @TantricTwist and @DottieLottie1 ☺️

We're close to 1k on our old thread and I thought I'd start this one whilst I remember and the other one is still open so I can point you to it!

We can finish the other one first if it'll make anyone itch leaving it unfinished 😀

Here's to getting to our goal weight/sizes during this thread! 🥂 (The next one we'll be maintaining!)

@DottieLottie1 Weirdly enough I'm in that small town this evening too 😀 I'm meeting someone there for dinner!

The school is further north from me, it used to be a grammar school if that helps you figure it out?

Plans today:

B: fast
L: salad, hummus, pickles
D: a Chinese feast!

I suspect it's going to be around 1800 cals given the dinner.

This plateau is really starting to wear thin. I haven't lost any weight for 10 days, despite having an average of 1250 cals/day

Have a good day all!

AHHHH, I assume it is what was was NG? Enjoy your Chinese i promise i won't pop in!

@TantricTwist the weather is truly awful right now, I'm hoping it calms in a few hours.

@Seer 😝 to plateaus

@DottieLottie1 I got home and fell asleep for hours. Which means no exercise and at least no food either.

I cooked some jusroll croissants- the ones from the cardboard tube you pop open with dough inside for the DC when they got home. Naturally I tried one along with some left over chicken and a roast potato is unusual combination I know

I might just might go for a swim later and take a willing DC or 2 with me - see how I feel tbh

@TantricTwist we love those jusroll cinnamon buns! Didn't the Pillsbury doughboy do them first though??? The smell of the warm baked rolls float through the house-good job a pack only makes a few. Might get some for the DC now you have reminded me, but not one shall pass my lips😉

See if you can get in a swimming this evening, you will feel all the better for it and most probably sleep really well.

My day turned into a keys clear out the spare bedroom day AKA the ju k room. I will probably need to visit the dump again 😬 Quite physical work as I've rearranged the bedroom furniture, been up and down from the loft umpteen times and lugged a fair few bin liners from upstairs to the bin store. God knows how many calories that would have bur t but it got me hot and bothered!

@DottieLottie1 Cool as I also bought some of the cinnamon bun packs for the first time. I usually buy plain puff pastry sheets and cover with sugar and cinnamon so be interesting to see the difference. I'm guessing theirs will be thicker and puffier and more yummy.

I've already asked DD and she's up for a swim later, just waiting for DS to get home.

You'll have lost a heap of calories and toned yourself up a bit nicely I'm sure. I get a great deal of satisfaction after days like yours even though they are few and far between.

No swimming or any activity going on here. We'll be settling down to watch GBBO and The Circle later on instead.

Evening all,

Another crazy day at work. Solid from 6am till 8pm. No meals just quick snacks. Reckon about 800 calls but just having a wine! And a whine! Managed to hula hoop though.
Tried the goal trousers on..definitely got into them easier than last time to intrigued as to what Thurs weigh in will bring
Seer plateaus are bastards but just your body catching it’s breath from all that loss I reckon!

@MrsGrindah that sounds as if you have lost a bit!

@TantricTwist I don't blame you, today's weather was hideous so snuggling in front of the tv sounds lovely

@Seer, as I drove past the Chinese I wondered if you were inside (The S/H?) I did peer in but I'd have no clue which one you were! You may have been in the other chinese PP though 😂 Hope you had a lovely meal 🙂

Obviously it wasn't a proper look @Seer as I was driving past but I did wonder!

Just got in, have probably eaten a gazillion calories!

It was the other one @DottieLottie1 😀 I was just thinking it would be funny if you happen to be fb friends with the person I met tonight and see a pic of us there. The world is so weirdly small, isn't it?

Which spa are you going to soon btw? I can't think how to say it without being totally obvious!

And yes the school is the old NG. ☺️

Ooooh! Excited for you @MrsGrindah !

You're very inspiring with all your new gym-going ways now @TantricTwist !

My gym comment was a bit mistimed actually now I'm checking back @TantricTwist given your day of croissants and GBBO 😂

@Seer I've only been once  I think I got a bit ahead of myself Pre booking classes - I've calmed down a bit now and properly read up on what's what and realised my body is not ready to tackle things like Body Attack quite yet

@DottieLottie1 I'm looking forward to the day you both run into each other. You need to wear a secret badge or something as identification lol.

@MrsGrindah you do longer shifts than me I thought mine were bad at 12 hours

I'm not sure @Seer I'm going with my DSis as her plus one, she had t actually confirmed yet. I will let you know in code when I find out 😉

@TantricTwist that would be funny and you know we would look at each other and think "you don't need to lose weight!".

We so would @DottieLottie1 😂

We'll have to carry a pair of 501s @TantricTwist 😀

Usual work, school run etc today

B: fast
L: baked potato with sweetcorn and salad
D: lentil bolognese with wholewheat spaghetti and broccoli

Will aim for 1k cals Max, I need this plateau to end!

What are you all up to? ☺️

Yep, work today. Will try and get a walk in between shifts rain dependent.

B- fast
L- costa, almond milk based hot chocolate
D- omelette with cheese and salami, mountains of salad

Weds also = Prosecco time 😳

Should be around 1100 cals

Have a good day all 🙂

Dropped DC off, collected package from Post Office had to pay £22 import charges

So do I brave Body pump this morning or shall I be a wimp and just go for a swim - decisions decisions.

B - Fast
L - No idea
D - No idea

Just been for a lovely swim

Had an activa fig yoghurt before I left the house.

L - salad

D - rice and chicken

Good work @TantricTwist !

@DottieLottie1 are you starving by dinner time or is your body used to not really eating in the day now?

L - salad with bacon and a few crisps and some elderberry and hibiscus soda water
D - steak fajitas and a glass of wine

I tested out the colour of a couple of long wear lipsticks on my hand and they survived the pool and shower and a couple more hand washes with soap. I wanted to test it on my lips but felt like a right pillock swimming with obvious loopy on

Thanks @Seer I'm finding it very relaxing despite the second I started swimming in an empty section a woman jumped in front of me saying that she was about to swim in that bit I said yes but you're not swimming though are you - no she said I was just chatting to my friend my reply being that doesn't entitle you to this lane then though does it just because you decide you want it

@DottieLottie1 is the almond milk chocolate very filling?

I don't feel hungry until about an hour before I eat so totally used to it @Seer. Yes, the almond milk hot chocolate is very filling and isn't to dissimilar to the real thing and only 200 cals for a large so much less calorific! Almond milk only has about 14 cals per 100 mls

@TantricTwist, I bet she always swims In 'that lane/bit' and therefore thi is she owns it!!!! Lane wars can be hilarious trust me, definitely MN favourite saying of passive aggressive! 😉

Ooh yes, @DottieLottie1 must have seen it all!

Closing kitchen on 1069 cals. COME ON SCALES, get with the program!

@DottieLottie1 She genuinely expected me to go oh sorry I didn't realise with my magical powers that you would appear from nowhere demanding this currently unclaimed section in what is a fairly empty pool. Little did she realise I am an expert at dealing very calmly with 'Lane wars' ie passive / aggressive folk.
I'll have to work out the best times to go esp once I start going in the evenings. I guess sticking to the specific slow or medium lanes is a wiser plan.
Tomorrow I'm just doing yoga so straight in and out for that and working for the rest of the day.
