I've got 1847, joys of a desk job.

Today protein shake to disguise life vitamin drink
kvarg yogurt with two passion fruit
Toasted wholegrain sandwich with ham, cheese and scallions extra light mayo and a pink apple.

I've got another slice of bread and some eggs for poaching for snack before I do the grocery shopping/can of monster which will keep me satisfied too, we'll see which I'll have later.

Happierwithouthim · 28/10/2020 13:43

split the 3000 over next few days if you don't feel up to it today.

Not2bObvious · 28/10/2020 16:54

lifelongfrugaleer · 28/10/2020 19:22

Somehow managed 11 k steps today. Also eleven million calories

Not2bObvious · 29/10/2020 08:15

Ate over by about 250 yesterday, so pretty much a maintenance day. Down a smidge this morning but feeling better of mind today so back on track. Going to get plenty of water in and do my work, weather pretty muck here today so not sure how the exercise portion of the day will go but I'll get my min 9,000 one way or another.
Hope everyone else is feeling good.
Any plans for your few days off happier? I know it's not like we can do much here with restrictions of course, this time last year I was away

Morning everyone 😀
Resisted all temptation yesterday . Ate much better too thankfully. I feel the benefits of good nutrition this morning however unlikely that is, must be the psychology of it 😂
Not that sounds like a win to me 😀
Have a lovely day everyone 😀

Not2bObvious · 29/10/2020 11:30

Never underestimate the psychological effects of good nutrition, good for you mrs, in the zone😉
Did 30 mins brisk walking on the treadmill, legs a bit sore so decided running might be foolish. Will do another bit before lunch, in between jobs

lifelongfrugaleer · 29/10/2020 14:21

Good nutrition is key. My is shocking and I feel awful

Happierwithouthim · 29/10/2020 16:07

174.25 this morn so a drop finally

Happierwithouthim · 29/10/2020 16:10

Not just dropped off my paperwork to court office for divorce Grin

Dc are with me until approx 2pm tomo and then I'm alone until 6pm sun eve. Thought bf would come over but he's taking the restrictions more seriously this time around & I respect that.

I think walks in between showers & tv & fire are in my future plus a bit of cooking, did huge shop yesterday

lifelongfrugaleer · 29/10/2020 17:44

Good luck on papers happier? Is that it now or is it see you in court land?
Hope you don't get too lonely over the weekend.

Not2bObvious · 29/10/2020 19:04

That must be a great feeling happier, congratulations😬 And woohoo on the scales movement, I think I'd kiss mine if I got a bit of decent feedback from it. Mind you, I'd have to put a bit of work in for that!
I'm drained now, I'm trying to do a bit of study but between truculent teens moaning and general disruptions, my head is hopping.

Happierwithouthim · 29/10/2020 21:13

There'll be court alright but I don't think any further negotiations because we're legally separated & have no joint property now.

Made chicken Balti with broccoli & spinach in, it was super hot.

Dunnes now have their own light coconut milk 65c for tin

Happierwithouthim · 29/10/2020 21:14

Not my scales are clean but I still won't be kissing them they live on bathroom floor after all WinkGrin

Not2bObvious · 29/10/2020 21:42

Haha, good point, I'll just blow them a kiss! Make a difference from growling and cursing them.
Strange day, only ate 1000, went to bed at 8 as felt a bit low. No interest in more food. This is a rare occurrence indeed

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 30/10/2020 07:39

My low calorie day resulted in a drop to 160.8 mark again - a normal Friday will reverse that easily. Need to do a food shop, lacking inspiration for meal planning

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 30/10/2020 07:40

Great news on scales moving happier

Not Flowers hope some sleep helped

I've not set my alarm yesterday and today, feel much better. Got steps yesterday with unplanned walk home as DH was late picking up.
Not tracking food and started to make better choices as the chocolate box is empty

Not2bObvious · 30/10/2020 08:45

You sound in a good place life, great way to go into the weekend feeling better.
I just watched a video of the group I'm in where the girl was saying about the usual weekend eating and then spending the week clawing it back - sounds very familiar!

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 30/10/2020 16:22

That is brill re the scales Happier sorry about the ex what an !"£$%^&
Been fine thankfully , l have done a bit of shopping and got a curry for tonight so may have one or l may not , this IF really suits me thankfully . I am almost one meal a day but not quite.
You sound great Life well done on the empty chocolate Grin
Not it is what it is , if it stops you gaining by eating well all week and treats on the weekend then that is amazing! Smile

Not2bObvious · 31/10/2020 08:13

Held onto the 160.8, miraculous really after Friday night nibbles. I'll be doing better today for sure. Weather warnings in place today so it's the treadmill for my steps, could do with sweating out the wine toxins

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 31/10/2020 12:34

Well done Not 🤗
I am fine this morning, l did do about 1600 yesterday so l will be careful today 🤗

Not2bObvious · 31/10/2020 14:37

Treadmill done - got a decent sweat on, hopefully feel human soon!
