Surely Isle of Wight will let you in?!
I wanna go to Italy. Prob dreaming but I’d stuff my face anyway.

I o W is luffly. We have friends who live on Bembridge, so pretty.
Yes, something very cold and dry in a chilly glass would defo match the bikini!!
We go to Pembrokeshire most years but we haven’t heard from our lovely yurt people yet so I hope all is well. We’ve been going there for years and have normally paid on full by now but they’ve not been in touch yet. 🤞for them and all our hols!

1lb on for me this week,not surprising as had a bigger loss than usual last week and I've got my period this week.
We'll see what another week brings!

Bella444 · 05/06/2020 12:13

Yey! I lost a pound Grin. So that's 5 over 3 weeks AND I haven't been strict on the weekends.

More determined than ever now.

OwlinaTree · 05/06/2020 12:56

Bad luck rum, well done Bella!

OwlinaTree · 05/06/2020 21:05

Very surprisingly come on this evening. They are getting closer and closer together. Is this a bad sign?

Having a gin, it's Friday night!

lovinglavidaloca · 05/06/2020 21:18

It’s the weekend!! Not that it means much atm. I’m still furloughed.

I had a couple of naughtyish days this week involving chocolate cookies so have stopped at 917 calories tonight to try and undo some damage Grin

OneOfTheGrundys · 06/06/2020 09:07

I know lovin we try to do things differently at the weekend but it’s a bit odd.
Working from home I try to have a discipline and routine Mon-Fri. Still in bed at the mo tho on this Sat morning!
Ran yesterday, 6.4k and my fastest yet. Still a size 16 though 😭! Everyone says ‘oh you must be healthy running as much as you do, never mind the weight’ but I know I need to lose to be healthier so I just nod and smile and say nowt!
I hope we have nice things planned, even if they’re tiny, we can still enjoy them lots!

diege · 06/06/2020 09:12

Oooh you had gin owlina! How are you feeling this morning? 😅
loving very restrained there! I've been making cookies this evening for the DCs and have avoided even trying one - I would inhale them all I know if I had even one Blush
I'm working all day today and tomorrow (marking!) but am currently languishing in bed with a cuppa and a scotch pancake 🤣
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend

Queenoftheashes · 06/06/2020 09:13

Weekend is a bloody relief for me! I’m shockingly busy (but it’s ok as I just started my job so not eligible for furlough).
Well done on the PB Grundy ! I always thought running would make me skinny but the weight hasn’t “fallen off” yet - I feel conned.
On the other hand you probably can’t strictly describe my 43 minute 5k as running...

OneOfTheGrundys · 06/06/2020 09:18

👋diege!!
That cuppa and pancake sound really tough... I’m up for an egg on toast now. Got to get the egg out of the henhouse though which involves a good trudge outside as I didn’t collect yesterday’s. All steps though!
@Queenoftheashes sounds as though you’ve earned this weekend... your 5k is good! It’s all running and good on so many levels. Good stuff.

OwlinaTree · 06/06/2020 09:44

Morning guys, I'm fine only had one gin this time!

Me and DH were saying last night we need a really messy night out with shots and dodgy nightclubs! A few sedate drinks at home does not satisfy!

Queenoftheashes · 06/06/2020 09:52

@diege 👋 how was thr pancake?
I am still in bed fiddling with my Waitrose order ...
@owlina you can do shots and a nightclub at home! You just need the right lighting.
Personally it’s wine all the way for me - drinking at home is probably my favourite. No taxi ranks or long walks carrying heels.

OwlinaTree · 06/06/2020 10:05

queen but other people! I miss crowds,! Grin

OwlinaTree · 06/06/2020 10:05

Haven't worn heels for months, probably forgotten how

Queenoftheashes · 06/06/2020 10:13

I sooo don’t miss crowds. I heard there are still illegal raves going on in Leytonstone though if you want to live dangerously.

OwlinaTree · 06/06/2020 11:40

OneOfTheGrundys · 06/06/2020 17:58

Oops-had an absolute triumph of bread making today. Not such a win for my diet 🤪... and in laws coming over tomorrow for a very socially distant barbecue. Better get out for my run in the morning!!

OwlinaTree · 06/06/2020 19:09

Homemade bread is lurch, well done you!

We are having Indian takeaway tonight, lovely. Hopefully I'll for a run in tomorrow. Had a walk in the on off rain earlier so managed to get the steps in at least.

OneOfTheGrundys · 06/06/2020 20:04

Well done @OwlinaTree! Well done for getting out!

MrsSnitchnose · 07/06/2020 13:10

Grundy I'm crap at bread. You could use my loaves to knock someone out! Good job I don't eat it any more so had an excuse to give up trying
😂

Did my workout this morning and it felt so much harder than it has been. Had another crap session earlier in the week and never thought anything of it until TOM arrived this morning. Apparently the hormones can make things harder and decrease performance. Can't believe I didn't make the conection before 🤦🏼

It's finally dried up here a bit, we went for a socially distant walk with some friends, and going to attempt a run in a bit. Got my best 5k time on Friday, very pleasing.

OwlinaTree · 07/06/2020 22:48

Had a lovely walk with friends today. Got home and had a run, 6k.

Food wise good, omelette with mushrooms and tomatoes and cheese for breakfast, fruit and yoghurt for lunch, massive dinner of a sort of Lebanese chicken and lamb dish, a crunchie for pudding. Nice.

Made pea and ham soup for lunches this week. I'm work 3 days this week, kids back to school/nursery - bit strange.
