Lost the .4 again, down .8 on last Friday - down 4.8 since the 15th September. Just working away at my group, really hard to work on not beating myself up for imperfect behaviours, I'll get lots of practise this weekend no doubt!

Up 1lb, ate a fair few snacks last night so a combination of salt & the glasses of wine contributed to that. I've started using happy scale to track my weight & it says my moving average is 162.9 - not too sure what moving average means, I'll have to look it up. Busy day ahead

Not even bothering.

Not2bObvious · 26/09/2020 18:44

Sorry to hear that life, bit stressed or just had enough of it? You're dieting a fair while, maybe a diet break is needed.
Everyone's very quiet, all ok I hope and just missing presumed drunk or at the very least having some fun?

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 07:47

Big spike this morning. No surprise.
I can feel. A downward spiral comic g on. CBA to. Do. Anything but feeling shit.

Why does my phone put in random full stops

Mrsmadevans · 27/09/2020 08:42

Finding the busy days are helping me behave thank God 🙏
Have a lovely day everyone 😀

Not2bObvious · 27/09/2020 12:32

Lying around eating too much this morning. Not feeling it at all - I'll shake out of it shortly I hope. Would love to be able to go out for lunch but no restaurants open unless they've outdoor space & even then only up to 15 people so the chances of getting anywhere are too slim to bother this late. Ouf, sucky Sunday

I am a bit fed up but nothing I can't overcome. Last of the snag jobs in the house today then I can focus from tomorrow

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 13:44

Looks really nice my house now. I would but it.... Oh hang on. Grin

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 13:45

Buy obv

Not2bObvious · 27/09/2020 15:09

Are you doing it up to sell it life, or doing it up for yourself - not sure if you said. My house needs attention badly.
Dragged my bloated body out for a long walk - got my 9,000 minimum so that's something at least. Chuck in the oven for dinner. Could do with some more walking but my energy levels are low

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 16:20

To sell. We are already in the buying process for a bigger house. Photos Tuesday.

Not2bObvious · 27/09/2020 18:50

Ooh cool - good for you! I'd love a bigger house, of course then I'd fill it with even more crap 🤔
Despite low level hangover I've done over 16,500 steps and avoided wine with my dinner. If I didn't feel so bad I'd feel good😂

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 19:19

That's great going not.

Not2bObvious · 27/09/2020 20:02

Thanks life, it has the potential to be a complete write off today but managed to turn the boat around - amazing how some fresh air can fix many ills.

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 27/09/2020 20:06

It can. I need more fresh air. Lots of deadline passed at work so this week should be easier to do this

lifelongfrugaleer · 28/09/2020 08:52

Aerobics done. 5700 already. Will plan food next

Happierwithouthim · 28/09/2020 13:24

I was out Friday night, spent day with bf on sat (his dm made stew but basically boiled meat & veg, hence me not eating) then yesterday he joined us for day out too.
Nice weekend

Happierwithouthim · 28/09/2020 13:27

Not2bObvious · 28/09/2020 13:58

You starting to feel better happier? Monday weigh in is always the worst of the week I find - I'm up 2lb on Friday which is deserved but grrrr. Hope the new plan suits you. Starting lots of new stuff in work, and have to study for an exam - busy times ahead hurrah!

OP posts:
Happierwithouthim · 28/09/2020 15:22

I'm still not 100% but I don't want to face a third week of antibiotics straight away so I'm taking my chances at the moment

New position at work?

Not2bObvious · 28/09/2020 17:52

Not really, just getting busier and getting allocated to different customers - well I hope, I might be a bit premature. We'll see.

Mrsmadevans · 28/09/2020 22:57

Hope everyone is ok Smile
