The sun makes me crave chips too. Proper pub chips!

Not2bObvious · 24/05/2020 19:16

Made a compromise and have a few things in the oven, better than Chinese takeaway. Well better for diet but actually better than real takeaway? Doubtful

Looks lovely wreck.

WreckTangled · 25/05/2020 07:46

Morning. Monday morning weigh in and I'm the same as Friday which I'm taking as a win!

I've got quite an unhealthy dinner planned tonight of chorizo and halloumi skewers very high cal but so tasty. Will try to have a very light lunch so I can enjoy it.

My weather app is saying 24° or more for the next ten days.

That’s really good wreck, brilliant not to start the week on the back foot. Haven’t weighed yet, awake since 5.30am. Spent the last hour trying to decide if I should do an early walk, might drag myself up to do it yet! I usually start work around 9.30 so plenty of time.

Morning. Marginally down today. Going for a walk to a deer park with a pic nic. Not low calorie or healthy. Meh.

Not2bObvious · 25/05/2020 09:12

Enjoy the picnic life, I forgot you guys have a bank holiday in the uk. I’m back from 8500 walk, having a shower & doing my weigh in very shortly. Pleased to have gotten that many steps this early, need to get back into doing this. Still v unsure about what to eat today, homemade chips & burger tonight but the rest of the day unplanned as yet. Might try hold off eating until lunch as have a fair bit of work to distract me 🤔

My average last week was 2lb down. Three weeks until my birthday...

It's not different to any day here not. DH is at work and I'm home refereeing the dc Hmm wish I could take them out for ice cream I just don't want to risk it as everywhere will be heaving. Anyway we have ice cream here so saves money too.

Not2bObvious · 25/05/2020 09:37

That’s an excellent loss wreck, pity it’s not a bank holiday for you as such. We have one next weekend and I don’t have to pretend to work so I’m looking forward to it. Still have to referee kids of course! That’s 24/7 these days

It's great getting early steps in. I'm a total convert. Not today though as baking

Not2bObvious · 25/05/2020 10:47

Pretty much the same weight as yesterday, up 1.6 on Fridays weight. Surprisingly not too bad but still not making into my weight record. Had toast & butter x 2, wasn’t able to resist.

Just dropped my whole lunch outside. Guess that's one way of losing weight Sad

Not2bObvious · 25/05/2020 13:09

That’s a whole new meaning to light lunch ☹️
Had an omelette here, couple of crackers too. Going to be a lonnnnngggg day

Up 0.6lb oops. Surprised it wasn’t more though really

LaneBoy · 25/05/2020 13:34

Oh no wreck that’s so annoying

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/05/2020 13:50

How annoying. Carb fest here fruit and cheese scones.

WreckTangled · 25/05/2020 15:39

Will have 400 calories left after dinner so am having a couple of g&t's. Think I need them.

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/05/2020 15:49

Impromptu BBQ now. Bye bye today. Hello tomorrow. 11k steps thought

Happierwithouthim · 25/05/2020 15:56

169.5 this morning average 167.9 last week.

Ooh what's going on, must check on pod!!

Had beans on toast for brekkie. Sugar free and whole meal. Chicken salad for lunch. Somethings made me windy BlushShock

Here in car watching tide come in contemplating walk with dog or nap, both will be done not sure what order!

Not2bObvious · 25/05/2020 16:12

That sounds so nice happier, can’t wait to see the sea/beach again. Too far from ours to comply with regs. I love bbq...and g&t’s☺️😬

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/05/2020 17:08

Full of bread and meat now. Contemplating pudding but think I'm actually too full

Not2bObvious · 25/05/2020 17:36

Sounds great life, just finished my own dinner and it was delicious. Of course there’s a lot of evening left. I’m thinking of making an effort to avoid my trigger foods, that’d be crisps & chocolate. Not sure what I’ll have later, something supper’ish? Cheese on toast maybe?

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 25/05/2020 17:42

My dinner was delicious. Am having another gin and have told the dc I'm off duty and not going anything for anyone now Grin

Happierwithouthim · 25/05/2020 17:51

I made myself a Jameson & Diet Coke last night but was too tired & most of it ended up being poured down the sink. Been on Instagram since and ride is almost in, best go walk the dog.
Dinner hmm not sure yet.

WreckTangled · 25/05/2020 18:03

When I have a drink I always want crisps...
