Can you get a private test happier before she comes?
Well done for getting back to it.

Your mother is very good to offer happier, and to get a test. This is my experience and I mean no offence.
I've had to provide support to family throughout this whole thing, crossing borders every other day during the first lockdown. I've been stopped a number of times by the guards, and been covered by compassionate reasons with no argumrby. Maybe that's no help, it's probably useless information. I'm personally sick of being made scared, sounds like you've taken sufficient care to be safe for your Mum to call.

@ememem84 😂 it is already a very effective clothes storage device!

I managed 20,500 steps today by doing a shit load of housework and then running up and down the stairs while listening to the Midnight Library on audiobook. Shattered
Food has been A1 but have had wine - we are doing dry Jan so getting it in now and then won’t drink until after my 2WW post embryo transfer which will be mid Feb. So a good 6 weeks off the sauce.

5250 steps.

There was tapas for dinner and wine.

Exercise bikes make excellent toddler toys. Hope it works for you gen.

12897 steps yesterday. Still not tracking. May as well start from today as nowt else to do.
Feeling quite depressed

133.5

5333 steps so far. Went for a 40 minute run/jog/walk.

Just over 9,000 after treadmill hour, trying to offset the eleventy billion calories I gorged on yesterday. Up 2lb this morning, lot of salty food. Grrr....
Anyway onward

As of tomorrow we are embarking on a dry veganuary.

dh's choice not mine. well mine was the no booze. given he's the main chef (and i just eat what's cooked for me) i don't have much of a say.

i have said that i'm sticking with real milk and cheese though.none of the non dairy milk for me.

i think this will help massively.

13600 steps. Million calories.
V down today

Sorry you're feeling down life, its a strange day - whether it's the day or the current world is causing your low or something else entirely, I hope something lifts your spirits a little I sometimes just hide away when I feel like that, I have to have space. Not an option for everyone I know.
Prepped for the meal tonight, feet up for 45 mins then putting on something nice & a bit of makeup. Can't go out, so trying to make the in feel like out! Littler DD has told me she'll give her face a good wash....kind of hoped she'd done that by the by😂

It's a culmination of everything not. I just wanna never get out of bed for a bit. But I can't obviously.
It will pass I hope.

Sorry you’re feeling down life - hope you can have a nice evening anyway.
I tried on several dresses that used to fit me perfectly and were my go-to outfits and they’re all too tight and look shit. Feeling fat and defeated! Hopefully dry Jan will start to shift a few pounds.

As I say a lot life (and this year I've had to say it a LOT) it won't always be this hard. I don't know why it soothes me and it probably drives my poor family mad but you have to have a bit of faith that there's brighter days.
Or if it persists, ask for help. Could be something that needs tweaking. I think I might be peri menopause and the more I read the more I realise how badly our hormones rule us as woman. Lots of love 💕

I’m feeling a bit meh today. Not sure if it’s end of year blues or what. But just meh. Currently in bed. Hve had a nice bath and dinner. (Takeaway burgers) and some bubbly.

@lifelongfrugaleer I’d kill to be 133 pounds! I am now curled up under a blanket on the sofa. It’s all so odd, this year. Hard to feel cheerful at all

Happy new year all! Stayed up to see in the NY, kids stayed up too. All done now and I'm eyeing the Christmas decs thinking they'll be coming down this weekend.
Started the day with a few sneaky spoons of last nights dessert and a few Pringles. Think the diet may have to wait til I get the munchies out of my system! Tired as only 5 hours sleep & too much bubbly. I'll need a walk later to clear the cobwebs.

Morning all.

Set up mfp again this morning and done a weigh in.

77.3kg.

Food so far Frosties (classy) and a cup of Earl grey.

Morning everyone 😀
Happy new year to us all 😁
I am so sorry to hear that quite a few of us are feeling so so. I must admit to being the same for a few days now. I don't want to go anywhere and am feeling really cross with everyone . It's not like me at all l don't like it either. I think it is connected to my Thyroid meds decreasing for the last 2/3 weeks 🙄
Happier that is so good of your mum bless her heart ❤️
Life keep posting here sweetheart l am so sorry you are feeling so awful 💐
Have a great New year's Day everyone ❤️

Happy new year. Lots of sleep here. Disturbed due to call out.
Decorations down today. Might do a walk later

Good for you em, facing the scales today is not an option after super salty dinner & booze.
Sorry you're feeling cross mrs, you do so much for everyone - maybe it's just a natural reaction to doing so much or as you say, could be meds. I had about 23 hissy fits yesterday, think I'm just a cross wagon. I'm starving but too tired to get up & make breakfast, possibly just too lazy. They're all still fast asleep here, lucky lot

Happy New Year! I’m weighing myself tomorrow once the booze and salt from last night has worked its way out of my system. Hoping being alcohol free in Jan will help me lose some weight!

11114 steps so far.

A very cold frosty run first thing and we’ve just got back from a walk.

Set my goals for a minimum of 12500 steps a day. We shall see how I get on with this.

Measly 2700 steps done while waiting for himself to hunt & gather a drive through...
I think I've safely established the diet isn't starting today. I will have to go for a walk later as older child has decided in the absence of her gang, I'm her walking companion. Which means I'll be using my uh huh, oh yeah, you're probably right comments for a good hour. Must remember to actually half listen so I don't get my head bitten off for agreeing with the wrong thing. I have not had enough sleep for this type of work out. I was going to say torture but I recognise it's a good thing she wants to spend time with me

I’m on 10,289 after a walk outside with DH - aiming for 15,000. Also did a class on the peloton and almost died 😱 I am so unfit.

999 here.

Had my watch on charge ready to start tomorrow
