And I had a bike and didn't cycle it because I don't like cycling, if I got one au pair would use it too so I suppose it wouldn't go to waste

Happierwithouthim · 13/02/2020 11:45

I'll try dd's again sometime Grin

Not2bObvious · 13/02/2020 15:51

I had a vision of me trying my dd’s old bike, hello kitty with stabilisers & a Disney helmet😂

What about coming back though? If you hate it you won't stick to it. Can you park further away and walk instead

Not2bObvious · 13/02/2020 21:23

Around 100 over, much better than the last couple of days at least. Banished to bed as could easily do more damage. This has been a hungry week

No country living life no parking further away & walking

Over by 1000 cals on buttermilk chicken fillet burger, chips, half of ds's garlic bread & shared white choc & orange bread & butter pudding with dm, plus two treat size choc bars on the way home.

I got a sts this morning Shock will be extremely careful today & weekend to try maintain this fortune Grin

Happierwithouthim · 14/02/2020 06:51

Coming back road would be busier alright

Happierwithouthim · 14/02/2020 06:52

Sts today but will be over due to baked goods today.
Think in going to have to cancel lunch out tomorrow due to storm . Will check trains later

Happierwithouthim · 14/02/2020 09:29

I'll be travelling 3.9miles about 1 mile of it is on a busy road in the evening time but rest of it there would probably not be any traffic or maybe I would meet one car.

Living and working in the extreme countryside

Not2bObvious · 14/02/2020 09:50

Down to 160 so it’s going in the right direction, but that was after a lot of walking this morning between collecting stuff, school run, shopping. So I’m probably dehydrated to feck! The lengths I go to.
No breakfast yet as I can’t think what to have

OP posts:
Happierwithouthim · 14/02/2020 12:01

Scrambled egg on batch slice of 5 grain bread - that's my inspiration for you today Grin eggs/bacon medallion sandwich are my usual weekday breakfasts

Not2bObvious · 14/02/2020 13:16

Should have had something like that, had brioche and some valentine chocsBlush
Just had a small piece of roll with ham & cheese, with a few crisps. Still hungry

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 15/02/2020 06:33

Oh dear, that was quite literally a binge of corn crisps, chocolates & wine. I’d say I’ve missed stuff too. It’s done now though and I’ve the headache I deserve to remind me.
Out to friends for dinner, going to be a long day. Feel rubbish

OP posts:

Zero exercise here this week if there's any gap in the rain today I'm walking dog, still no heating, gotta go get another part today. And ex will install it sunday.

Happierwithouthim · 15/02/2020 08:18

Cross post life not so bad

lifelongfrugaleer · 15/02/2020 08:26

Stay well happier. Self care amongst the stress.

Pleased you got the agreement sorted. Are you ok with the results?

Not2bObvious · 15/02/2020 08:40

That’s so good happier, into the 150’s you go! Great work. Back from a walk, going to drop child to activity then do some shopping, back for brekkie/shower/nap.
I’m not even going there today for gains life, horrific overnight spike here but considering there’s more salt & sugar in my veins than blood I guess it’s not surprising. We have to remember it’s just bastard bloat

OP posts:
Happierwithouthim · 15/02/2020 14:28

It's not what I wanted but it's decent maintenance & I'll be able to live rather than just survive afterwards so I'm good with that. While renting it'll be more difficult but that's short term pain for long term gain.

Ds took two bites out of a choc doughnut & decided he didn't want anymore, what did I do with it? 878 cals left now

Think I'll be hovering between the 150s and 160s this week

Not2bObvious · 15/02/2020 15:09

Glad you’ve negotiated something you can live with happier, onward & upward.
I remembered how much more I actually ate last night, it is very very very bad. I just need to admit to it, jeez even as I type this I remember picking at the kids leftovers. I don’t want what possesses me sometimes apart from pure gluttony

OP posts:
Happierwithouthim · 15/02/2020 15:42

I just had a bacon mayo chicken burger from eurosaver menu

Not it's done, I was 1000 cals over thurs
