New thread

I hate driving in those conditions, I drive an automatic these days and it hasn't been tested in snow yet. I am not looking forward to that.
Chinese was v nice, had some wine but on the tea now...and the chocolate.

I have news re the money situation. My Mum has told my sister that she will take over her own finances from now on ! I cannot believe it ! I am so relieved and l think she is too, l think she has been struggling to come to terms with the fact that my sister has been financially abusing her and she knew this was her opportunity and she has finally done it ! I cant tell you how thankful l am for your support l was really at rock bottom so thank you so much you are absolute darlings!

Mrs I'm really pleased to see your update after being outraged on your behalf as I caught up with the thread. Let's hope she gets her money back soon.

Gen are you feeling any better?

I've cancelled Weightwatchers, caught it just before I was billed for another month. I got annoyed that a tin of soup would-be something like 8 points and decided to stick to MFP. Much happier.

About 15k steps yesterday with teaching a HIIT class over zoom then taking DD for her couch to 5k run.

Today I'll do Bodypump and maybe a nice long walk later this avo.

Been pretty good this week, sticking to about 1500cals.

Thank you Dev l was at rock bottom to be honest with you. I was ready to walk l meant it too. She was dreading telling her l know but she had to do it . Thank you for your kindness and support, it has so helped me .
I don't blame you stopping WW if there were physical classes then it's different, the group really do support one another but online just doesn't cut the mustard.
Hope you are feeling better too Gen 💐
Life l wish we had snow 🙏
Not am glad you enjoyed your Chinese thank you for your kindness and support its helped me so much . I am estranged from most of my family due to the way they have treated my Mum since she has been with Bob and haven't been able to offload it to anyone my DH and 2 DDS are wonderful but l can't keep on and on at them 🙄.
On a good note l actually ate a healthy meal yesterday ! I couldn't face any more junk / or it coincided with my Mum actually sorting out the financial situation once and for all.

Great news gen. Always here for you

1500 calories is great going.
Honestly about 200 here. 1/2 down on my average. Not great but not a rise.

I don't mind driving in snow and the car seems decent. One bit of a slip on an un treated roundabout.
Fog is my hate for driving.
Ice today

We made pizza last night. Yum.

Toast for me this morning. One piece. An Earl grey and a mug of hot water. Trying the hot water thing out see if it has any effect.

Dh is still sleeping. I’ve been awake since 4. Dd since 530. Ds since 630.

I’m so tired. Tiredness makes me want to snack. Must watch this today.

Next week I’m back to intermittent fasting. I don’t want to do it while the dc eat breakfast with us. Because I don’t want them to think it’s ok for them. They’re only little and need to grow!!!

Em l find IF really suits me , it's so easy and quick. Especially when you get into the swing of it ☺️
Life that is excellent going especially just after Christmas , l always find it hard to get back to healthy eating after Christmas .

It worked for me last time mrs it’s just getting into it.

V glad your mums seen sense, and good for you getting your nutrition back one meal at a time.
2lb up this morning after Chinese. Could be worse, still annoying though. Just about to have breakfast in bed, then I'll go on the treadmill for an hour, then shower and get ready to do shopping for family member. Spend time with them, hopefully not slip on icy roads😓 With luck by lunchtime there'll be a thaw.

Thank you Not 2lbs up for a Chinese isn't bad at all all the MSG in it of cpurse but boy does it taste nice
Thawed here and been a beautiful day
It is just that Em getting on to it!

Thanks all, feeling loads better today and have done yoga and a spooky Misty walk. Fish and chips for dinner this eve with alcohol free beer. Yummm!
NSD today, finally.

I was doing really well then ice cream and strawberry sauce. Will be thereabouts if I'd tracked

1750cals yesterday, I did graze a bit and had a humorous jacket spud with prawns and mayo for lunch. But, and I'm taking this as a win, I was still full in the evening so just had a few crackers and some cheese - about 300cals total.

Also did Bodypump and a cc long walk 18000 steps, basically did 1000 steps all day after I got back!!

NSD too, I was winning yesterday. Today, not so much. Have shopping to do then wine and cheese with DSis.

gen did you enjoy? I luvs a good fish n chips.

life as long as you're there or thereabouts I'd take that as a win.

I'm going to do a pump class today I think. Got a headache as didn't drink enough water

devil yes it was delish! Didn’t finish though as the portion was insane.

Best laid plans.... No walk as DS not feeling well and no class as yet. Sat in gym kits watching the rock films

Up another pound 🤦‍♀️ I think for the sake of all our sanity I might ignore weekend weigh in. So I'll record tomorrow's weight no matter what it is. Just over 10,000 with walkie talkie, 5,000 to go. No wine today

Down 1.5 pounds. So pleased!! This is definitely motivation I needed to keep going

Oh well done gen, that is excellent! Solid start right there

Well done gen!

I'm not going to weigh at all. I will stick religiously to 1500 cals during the week and loosen up on weekends. Exercise every day or 6/7.

No spends while I went shopping, DF was as good as his word and paid for mine. But, I did pick up an 18-speed bike for DD, from FF marketplace. £35, absolute bargain and it's her birthday next month.

Marginal rise of 0.5 but due to lack of water.
Short mooch with DS but won't be a more than 5k steps day

Well done Gen
I don't weigh if l can help it Dev l find it really puts me off
Going to have a roast pork dinner tonight curtesy of Dh and l can't wait

Huge beef stew, 2 dumplings and big pile of veg Le Yum
