I got vouchers for Tesco €16 off €80 spent for 5 weeks but they can't be used online so that rules them out. I'll stick to dunnes vouchers instead.

I refuse to bring dc grocery shopping, and lockdown plus separation means I rarely have to. This weekend or next week I thought I'd end up bringing them but they're with their dad on Wed eve until 8pm so I'll get it done then instead.

When I get my house with more storage I'm going to try space it out to every 3/4 weeks as much as possible.

I get all deliveries to work, means there's always someone in to receive them Grin

Scales stuck at 12st 7
Out walking after plenty of cleaning & tidying

Not2bObvious · 24/10/2020 16:48

Dragged myself around my village for 45 minutes and it was painful. Got my minimum 9,000 steps at least. I've eaten most of my calories and there's dinner to be eaten. Rubbish last few days

Evening everyone Smile
Was excellent yesterday because l was so busy with Dd2 house, we put together flat pack furniture from Ikea and it took us ages Hmm
Eating was ok today, had some fruit at 2pm then pizza just now will not eat until tomorrow , calories about 1800 so not too bad. I was very low yesterday under a 1000.
Hope everyone is ok , going to watch SCD soon have a lovely Sat evening everyone Smile

Not2bObvious · 25/10/2020 10:34

Snap life, up 1lb too. Long weekend here, relaxing with tea and tv. I'll get up in a bit and do a treadmill session. No plans for food yet, apart from trying not to overeat.

You're doing so well mrs, I think we all need to help someone move house, sounds like the dieters ideal occupation! Enjoy your meal later, sounds lovely.

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 25/10/2020 16:52

Ahh thank you Not that is so lovely of you Smile
I tell you what we haven't had time to do anything here it's manic! Perfect for losing weight Grin

Happierwithouthim · 25/10/2020 17:29

I'm out walking in the rain Fitbit on charger at home Hmm

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/10/2020 18:08

Full on winter dinner today. Beef stew, suet (veg) mash apple and BlackBerry crumble and custard. Heavenly but not for the waistline

Not2bObvious · 25/10/2020 19:07

Dinner sounds lush life
Steps still count, boo on the rain happier
Did you get to eat your meal yet mrs? Hope it's yum.
Had the Indian I made earlier in the week, pretty nice. Going to have a movie night with treats shortly, BH here, never sure if the UK has the same one? Takeaway planned for tomorrow, had to check if it was within 5km, level 5 lockdown here. Not affecting us too much as long as I don't think about it. Did an hour on the dreadmill earlier, easier than having to practically walk in the dirt to avoid people who think 2 metre distance is everyone's else's problem. Just frustrated with it all, I (hopefully) doubt I can catch cv by passing someone in a few seconds. It's the pure dogmatism of some to not give an inch that's causing me utter rage. Sorry all, just a rant - I promise not to start bringing the sadness in here too

lifelongfrugaleer · 26/10/2020 06:17

No more bh here until Christmas.

People are entitled arses. Pisses me off if they make no effort to move

Up after hearty weekend food

Not2bObvious · 26/10/2020 06:56

Up as well here, need to seriously get my behaviour back on track. Of course they would all be determined to have a takeaway today although to be fair, it's only chicken and a few chips - I can have that. Hate seeing the inflated Monday figure

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 26/10/2020 08:56

Me too not. I tried today but feel really sickly this morning. Trying to make good choices but is hard as I want toast and tea

Not2bObvious · 26/10/2020 09:57

I'm riding the waves of temptation. Had an English muffin with egg & Linda sausage, bbq sauce. Around 300 cals and good to keep me going usually, except it's BH Monday and I know there's chocolate/fresh bread/crisps less than 10 feet away. I should go for a walk but even though it's bright out, it's freezing. Jeez I need to stop with all the excuses

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 26/10/2020 09:58

Are you ok life? Just post weekend yuck or are you coming down with something, feel betterThanks

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 26/10/2020 10:11

I'm not sure not. I do feel yucky. Will eat to my craving today I think.

Not2bObvious · 26/10/2020 11:02

Nothing wrong with tea & toast, it's a great comfort at least. Eat what you fancy, it'll probably just be carbs - no biggie for a day.
I feel incredibly lethargic, aka lazy as sin!

Mrsmadevans · 26/10/2020 14:17

Afternoon everyone the weather is absolutely beautiful here Smile
I was packing Christmas presents and all of a sudden had the urge to eat the box of specially selected florentines from Aldis l bought for the Christmas stash Hmm. Anyway l didn't succumb. l just came from there and had some fruit instead thank the lord!
Life hope you are ok love Flowers
Not yes thank you .l had a lovely meal it was delicious. I find my food tastes much nicer now l am restricting.
You are on a BH there are you ? God that seems strange to me over here Smile

Not2bObvious · 26/10/2020 15:31

Yep BH Monday here, managed to drag myself around the village for 45 minutes before my takeaway lunch. Only 7,300 steps in the bank but better than nowt. I'll try get my minimum 9,000 at least. Lunch was delicious but what a lot of day left to get through with flip all calories left

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 26/10/2020 15:52

Yes Not l am suffering right now l can't wait for my tea Hmm
