[Not2bObvious]

New thread for us to chat on

Well done to all +0.2lbs here
Over yesterday by 144 cals, hit fibre, but not water/protein/steps went to Pilates.

How you finding the Pilates happier? Were you thinking of doing some sort of boot camp too? I’m at home with poorly kids, getting sick last night and now listless & warm, hope it’s just 24 hours. Holding out for my lunch, working on no eating between meals but it’s a challenge!

I was planning on doing 3 visits a week to gym to include one new class for 6 weeks to enter a comp there, but thanks to Pilates being somewhere else and wedding I won't make it the 3 required times this week so I'll be ineligible but I'm still taking on the challenge of it.

So I'd Pilates yesterday, I don't like it and that's the last session I'd paid for so I'm done with it now. I'm going to go to Circuits tomorrow evening and walk then Thurs/Friday.

Bootcamp, that I love, started back yesterday €100 for 4 weeks but I can only stay for half of the class so I decided against it, I don't have the €100 to spare, more especially with gym membership paid for.

Sorry to hear everyone's poorly in the obvious household

Sounds like a good plan. I love circuits, time flies. I’m trying for 2 x easy enough dumbbell workouts a week plus my steps. Just enough but not too much to set the hunger levels off too much. Kids are much better thankfully so as long as nothing takes a turn, back to reality tomorrow. Today I’m just jogging on the spot every now & again, nearly 7,500 steps so happy with that. Might get out for a walk when himself gets home

It's a new one to me but the time of class suits so I'll chance it.
Step total last week 49000
Today I won't get a walk in as I've to go to a presentation tonight after work, just time for dinner & shower & go.

Lunch was a tuna sandwich on brown with cheese but no mayo in the mix so I'm counting that as a win & a bag of treble crunch

Glad to hear dc are improving

I want to eat the world today. Currently 500cal over. I could make a different dinner but I am hungry today.

Bugger all steps as wfa&e and home today.

Is it the cold life
I could've not gone over yesterday if I wanted to but I was hungry so I chose to. It's too early for you to last the evening with very little food

I think it is happier. Been freezing today.

Sts

Sts here also finished up 7 cals over yesterday

0.2 up.

Up, a lot, no idea where it's come from.

My breakfast is too calorific as it doesn't leave enough for the rest of the day. But I do love it. What do you all have for breakfast. Don't have time to cook.

Sts here too. Twice a week when I’m doing my long day offsite I have an egg microwaved into a kind of omelette & a slice of wholemeal toast with 7gr of butter (pre portioned pats) - other days I have a poached egg on wholemeal toast & I don’t need the butter. Weekends, add bacon/sausage etc.
Keeps me going for 2-3 hours, these days I try to distract myself til lunch but when I’m not being v strict I’ll have a snack. What are you having for breakfast life?

I don't eat breakfast

I've poached eggs on slim bagel with light butter or bacon medallion sandwich or porridge. Bacon cooks while I'm making DC's lunches, others generally get cooked at work

Sometimes I go without until 10am & then would have fruit & 0% fat greek yogurt or poached eggs or porridge

On weekends I should also say I push breakfast out til 12 after kids all dropped off to activities so I only have 2 meals. And on Sundays lunch is earlier & I don’t have dinner - just a snack. Still can manage to go wayyy over despite these strategies but it would be worse without them

HM I'm not a massive fan of egg. Maybe i have to learn

And here

I quite like the turkey rashers thoufb

Must keep you pretty full though life, although you’re right it’s a fair chunk of you cals.Could you cut some of the seedy stuff out? Drop the cals a bit there? Drop the granola and add something else to sweeten it? I use low sugar jam with my Greek yog and raspberries to take the tartness down. You could have a turkey bacon roll for half those cals.

Keeps me full for about 3 hours. So not that long.
I'm going to buy more turkey rashers and seed bread

If on instagram follow yesanotherdiet she's now calorie counting and managing to make things like thai green curry with white rice for 360cals - obviously you won't eat that for breakfast

Would you make the switch to almond milk to save cals?
It is more expensive though.

Linda McCartney sausages are a filling breakfast

You're getting a big chunk of fibre there too

Is that all in one bowl?

So far today I've used 573 cals but over two meals/snacks
Breakfast 95g bacon medallions, 2 slices burgens bread, 10g dairygold lighter
Snack Glenisk protein yogurt with 20g All Bran Golden Crunch

Yes all in one bowl. I could split it into 2.
