I'm thinking the same, even though it's calorific it's good use of them compared to other stuff.

Made bread & butter Nutella pudding last minute, dc probably won't eat it so it'll be all mine Grin

Happy Christmas Grin

Many happy returns not no weigh in & no calorie counting for me today Grin

Happierwithouthim · 25/12/2019 09:01

Had to stay super still & quiet bursting for loo at 4.30am because dd was up & I didn't want that to be the start of the day Grin

Not2bObvious · 25/12/2019 11:56

50 mins on the treadmill after I had to abort my outside jog due to icy pavements. Did weigh in but just for data purposes. Very happy kids here, waiting for my bro & family to pop in😬

Life* walk sorted my headache, was feeling like napping now I'm fine. Walked for an hour

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/12/2019 18:29

Mine was non to shabby either.
Smashed it ladies.

Now I'm not one for introspection but I put my dress on today that I wore for DS communion in the summer and it for much better again.
Make me reflect that it is worth all the bloody effort we put ourselves through. Come Saturday at the latest I will be back on it and smash my goals.

Thanks for being my buddies here ladies and here's to 2020 being smashed.

No, I'm not drunk as I don't drink. Just thinking I have some lovely on line friends and although we may never meet our be more than a user name I want you to know I really appreciate you xx kissesss ((hugs)))

Hello ladies!

I've had a lovely day, ex has behaved, but I did warn him before that if he started he would have to go.
My ds1 got me a Google home speaker thing, me and the dcs have been putting it though its paces all day! Dd1 got me some lovely handmade soaps, I suffer with psoriasis, and a beautiful scarf, I feel very lucky.
The dcs were all very happy with their presents, so a successful day!

life, I totally agree!
Hugs and kisses too, to you, life, happier, not, wolf, sea, and everybody else! xx

I've been in a group like this on Facebook started out through ww boards about 11 years ago, there's about 7 of us still in touch most of them meet up years ago & I met two in summer of last year Grin still talk most days on our private fb group

Love my friends here & on Frugaleers board, also not drunk because I might go visit friends & I want to come home to my own bed so wine will wait until I get home

Not2bObvious · 25/12/2019 22:16

Figured out how to stick to cals on Christmas Day! Stuff yourself with dinner, then fall asleep on the couch & pretty much have to go to bed in turkey coma at 8pm after sleeping through most of call the midwifeBlush Just woke now and plan to drink another good pint of squash & go back to sleep. I got a google mini speaker too curvy, funny little thing, my youngest had it making camel noises earlier😂

Not2bObvious · 26/12/2019 06:28

After my earlier nap, didn’t sleep that great but feeling pretty ok. Remembered another 300 cals of bits & bites over the course of the day so it was kinda a good thing I fell asleep! So happy it went well & when I got up to get more squash at 10pm, I finished the cleaning up himself had started so I know I’m going down to a tidy house.
Anyone doing anything nice today?

lifelongfrugaleer · 26/12/2019 07:59

Well done not
We have Christmas Day round 2 today at dm. Another billion calories.

Had a laugh on the scales today.
Lots of fruit and veg planned for Friday.

Not2bObvious · 26/12/2019 08:26

Have a great day at your Mums life, my Dad will be here til noon and then we’ve the next 24 hours with just the 4 of us. Depending on weather I’ll do outside potter or treadmill. Best mate coming tomorrow and into the city for shopping, then a meal at ours for us all, really looking forward to that. And totally looking forward to vegging today, mini fry for brekkie, turkey/stuffing sambo for lunch, tasty bits for dinner, glass of champers maybe.
My scales is showing 1lb up on yesterday, my bloat is definitely not going away until I get back to normal cals. Feels ok though cause I absolutely know there’s no real gain, it’s just scales weight not my actual body getting bigger. I reckon I need to give it 5 days of calorie deficit to get back on trek. I’m thinking of this Christmas/New Year as a diet break. Need to start sticking to no more than 2200 though, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were the exception. As long as I keep moving 2200 is acceptable and enjoyable 😋

Happierwithouthim · 26/12/2019 10:17

164lbs this morning so Christmas Day food & single glass of wine +0.9lbs I can handle that. Regular service resumes today.

Off out with dog now. Think I'll go peek in windows of another prospective house too Grin
And will visit the gym if dc aren't home by 12 because I've no water & need a shower plus it's possibly my last day to use my membership, will bring dc swimming alright.

Just purchased a new Fitbit strap on amazon as I didn't get one for Christmas Grin got this lovely watch but it's not a Fitbit Grin

Enjoy your day life & not enjoy the time to yourselves.

Lovely watch happier, be hard to swap back to Fitbit after enjoying a stylish watch for a while. I’ve a couple of fancy watches I only wear for occasions now, when I get to goal I’m ditching the Fitbit (or wearing it on my ankle haha!)

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 26/12/2019 11:51

Morning all.

Weight this morning 12s3lbs, so not too bad, considering I've eaten a lot of food over the last couple of days and will eat a fair amount today too!

Happier, I hope the water tank gets sorted soon, it must be such a pain to keep collecting water!

We are having a relaxed day at home, just me and 3 of my dcs, two are playing the xbox at the minute, one is still sleeping and the other one is going back to his girlfriends house in a bit.
Later on I think we will play some board games, but for now I'm enjoying my coffee and will potter around the house and do some tidying, mainly folding clothes and washing!

Wolfcub · 26/12/2019 11:57

I've put on a pound a day since I stopped working last Friday night. 🐖

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 26/12/2019 12:38

Wolf, knowing my luck the scales will record a massive increase tomorrow morning!
Its Christmas, I'm sure you will smash it in the new year.
