Meh. Steps got that's it

SnugglySnerd · 17/09/2020 22:19

Not brilliant today. No exercise and haven't done my steps. Also ate a hot cross bun with butter. Resisted temptation of chocolate and alcohol this evening though even though I really fancied both. Dh cut up a lovely pineapple and we shared that instead.

WreckTangled · 18/09/2020 06:55

0.6lb up on last Friday. I did have an awful weekend though so will do better this weekend.

Not2bObvious · 18/09/2020 07:30

Down another fraction, same weight as last Friday now, 3lb lighter than Monday. On a mad note it's my littlest 12th birthday and I was around 224lb this day 12 years ago so I'm down around 61lb. Sounds good til you see it took 12 years😂

Not2bObvious · 18/09/2020 07:51

I should correct that, it took around a year to lose the 60'odd, and I've spent the other 11 years losing & regaining 40'odd

Still an off and a maintain ish

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/09/2020 09:25

I had a wobble due to asod. Took my measurements and lost cm compared to last month

Not2bObvious · 18/09/2020 09:49

That's really good life, how's the outfit for the wedding you're going too? Have I got that right or am I getting mixed up. Measurements beat sod or asod everyday of the week.
I'm wearing new (inherited) Levi's and I'm a bit muffin'y but I look ok when I stand up straight😂

happier yes. Tall is an advantage for me here.

Not many steps today as have been sitting a lot. Accupuncture then a walk from car to next and back for clothes for the kids. Then sitting at dparents playing with the kids.

Now having a sit down whilst I wait for my laundry to finish.

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/09/2020 17:47

Yes that's me. Not tried it since

Happierwithouthim · 18/09/2020 19:44

Been shopping, hope I feel good in the outfit. Got low heeled sandals to go with it.
Used my Dunnes vouchers to pay for half of it and my tip this week to pay for the rest.

Told work I couldn't & wouldn't carry on working under so much pressure, they listened, my job has become a two person role again Grin

Waiting on fish Goujons and real chips from a takeaway with their own boats, it's been in town for years & I've never had it. Dc are with their dad I'm not cooking

Good for you Happier, I'm pleased they listened.

Just been for a long walk and am now eating an apple. It is Friday night, what has happened to me?? Not that many years ago I'd be pissed by now and wouldn't have been home yet!

WreckTangled · 18/09/2020 20:31

That's great happier you sound much, we'll, happier Grin I'm pleased you're having a good day.

My food has been OK today. My sugar levels have been amazing which just encourages me (more so than the scales) so that's good. Probably just a bit high in fat today but that's ok as it stopped me buying biscuits.

Mrsmadevans · 18/09/2020 21:37

Not been too bad because we have been so busy with Dd2 moving into her house at last. Have had 1200 cals so far so am feeling pretty good excpt l haven't eaten veryhealthily , pizza for tea but we had to have something quick and easy because we were so tired, never mind l will take that as a win Smile
Hope everyone is ok, not had time to check in on anyone yet Smile

Not2bObvious · 18/09/2020 22:20

Fair play to you happier, takes courage to speak up. Hope the outfit is nice, nothing like something new to perk you up. Fish goujons & chips sound lush.
I'm also sober tonight and only 90 cals over, macros are shite but calories are king at the end of the day so no big deal. Sounds like a busy one mrs, I think you certainly earned some pizza! Managed to talk myself into doing the right thing foodwise a few times today, best Friday from a diet perspective I've had in a long time. Not as well behaved as you snug, fruit of a Friday is unheard of for me but maybe by next week I'll be a reformed character...more like be on the booze, we're Level 3 where I live meaning no leaving the county, only 6 people over, wfh unless absolutely no option.

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 19/09/2020 07:14

There's only 10 confirmed cases in our county.

Hoping for another good day today...

Not2bObvious · 19/09/2020 07:59

Down .2 - all going in the right direction for now. On babysitting duties til around 9.30pm so if I have wine it'll be a glass. Mightn't bother, save myself for Sunday lunch. Should get up & go for a walk before I have to start my babysitting gig...

lifelongfrugaleer · 19/09/2020 08:05

Nice outfit and pleased work listened

Happierwithouthim · 19/09/2020 10:39

Thanks everyone
Snuggly kids happened Grin

Hot whiskey & antibiotic for me last night, unsure yet if I'll drink tonight or not, think maybe just a couple of west coast coolers

Am tired & this popped up on my instagram so I'm taking it as a sign and going back to bed for a while

12 4 scales has stayed at all week so +1.5lbs it is what it is.

10000 steps done. We won't talk about the food or booze today though

ememem84 · 19/09/2020 17:06

10192 steps so far today. mostly horse riding but then took ds to waitrose. that kid loves a food shop! Smile

pea risotto for dinner. i am still off the booze. today is day 20. one more day to go and i've kicked the habit apparently (allegedly it takes 21 days to break a habit...)

haven't stepped on scales today, but will do so tomorrow. i am not drinking enough water. this is a fact.

Not2bObvious · 19/09/2020 17:41

Looks like my Fitbit might be on the fritz, the display is acting up. I'm trying an update on it but this might be a hardware issue😩

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 19/09/2020 18:22

Have been ok today calories only 700 today do having a curry from Tesco tonight 635 cals so will. Be ok on the days takings😇😂
Funny you should say that Not2b because my DH Fitbit is really playing up and his is only 3 months old . Am on to Amazon as l write . Hope everyone is ok today , weekends are difficult at the best of times 🤗

Mrsmadevans · 19/09/2020 18:33

I have contacted Amazon and they are sending me a replacement Not2B

lifelongfrugaleer · 19/09/2020 18:57

Need to sort Saturday out. Big calories tea means I'm too hunger during the day. Got Chinese as been doing houise stuff all day. Not worth the calories
