You sound very positive not. Great going.

Yes em, crackers and crispies here too.

Sts today

devildeepbluesea · 15/01/2021 06:51

I'm with you not, I want to look better. Savoury snacks and wine are my downfalls. Decided no more wine on 7/7 days, I will allow myself one boozy evening.

Barely 6000 steps yesterday and most of those during my HIIT zoom class. Today will be better, Bodypump this morning and then a run with DD lunchtime.

devildeepbluesea · 15/01/2021 06:51

6/7, obviously!!

Not2bObvious · 15/01/2021 07:48

Sts this morning, down 1lb on last Friday, down 3.4 on Mondays bloat boat.
As usual, here's comes my danger days. I'll just have to dig a bit deeper. I'm due to do some sort of weights after I finish work, might treat myself to a bath before dinner. Make up a G&T without the G!

Haven’t weighed today as slept in and had to actually go into work today so was in a mad rush to get ready. Will weigh tomorrow. I’m so close to 65kg now - have decided not to drink tonight and have wine tomorrow instead. Need to go on bike after work as slept in too late to get a 6am cycle in. Hopefully being in work will get me my steps. I have ended up around 13,500 most days this week so need to up my game and try for the 15,000. Maybe a quick early morning walk before lessons.

Not2bObvious · 15/01/2021 12:43

13,500 is excellent gen, I found for a while pushing to 15,000 made me very hungry so I dropped back - managing it ok at the minute though. Nearly at 9,000 - flipping raging, trying again to get les Mills work for me, I'd love it but the TV I need to use won't let me cast to it - tbf it's not the tv it's my Apple TV and I'm not buying a newer in. I've taken the trial so I'll try a few other things in the 30 days. Itching to feel fit

Nothing but a crap eating day today sat on my ass trying to work and home school. Being shit at both

Not2bObvious · 15/01/2021 15:30

It's not easy at the moment, don't be too hard on yourself. I have family who are literally tearing their hair out with home schooling. Our world is tough enough right now - I don't think anyone expects us to replicate the whole school experience and especially trying to work too? Not possible.
Did a YouTube workout, stupid devices, stupid les mills 😡

lifelongfrugaleer · 15/01/2021 17:10

I went sledging with the DC. Will finish today and begin again tomorrow

Gensola · 15/01/2021 17:15

life don’t be too hard on yourself Flowers
I got into a stupid row with someone at work over a rule they were applying as if it were pre-pandemic days which makes no sense now we are in the situation we are currently in and they were just repeating the rule over and over and I lost my temper then walked away while they were still droning on talking and now I feel terrible and wish I had kept my cool 😭

Not2bObvious · 15/01/2021 18:54

Aww gen, I hate that feeling. I'm quite logical and also shockingly hot headed so I've been in that situation...felt & have said "you cannot do that, let it go"
Some people have to be heard, repeatedly. Deep breath, let it go - if things bother me dreadfully, I write it all down like I'm nearly doing a report, say how it made me feel etc. Just have to let it leave my head. Probably doesn't make sense but it helps me

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 15/01/2021 19:35

They have not thought hence need to repeat the rule. Not your issue gen. I would have lost my temper too

Gensola · 15/01/2021 21:16

Thanks not and life I have had piggy dinner and wine and feel much more cheerful!

Not2bObvious · 15/01/2021 21:58

Kitchen (and bar) shut - highest cals of the week, 1900. Have to see whether I managed to stick to my points and my saved points, I think I did. Feeling very 😇
Glad you're feeling a bit better gen - life's too short for feeling crap😉

OP posts:
Gensola · 15/01/2021 22:27

I dare not calculate my cals. Tomorrow I have zoom yoga at 0930 and spin at 11 while DH is at work. I know you can’t outrun a bad diet but surely it helps?! Grin

Not2bObvious · 16/01/2021 08:36

Ahh it was just a Friday splurge, you'd been v good all week. Count it as your 20% indulgence.
My normal Fridays are 2600, sometimes even closer to 3000 - total gluttony, then I do it again on Saturday 🤦‍♀️.
In your case gen, I bet you weren't anywhere near that. Forget it, no guilt.
Down .6 today - repeat to myself, don't cock it up

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 16/01/2021 10:04

Checked my points, I used some of my leftovers points from during the week, still have some extra I can use over the next 2 days.

OP posts:
Gensola · 16/01/2021 13:31

Weighed this morning and my indulgence of half a bottle of wine, Irish coffee and cheesy Italian dish with garlic bread has made scales jump back almost to where I started! 😭 lesson learned or what.
Yoga today followed by spin.
Food so far - Greek yoghurt with rasps and stewed pear, homemade minestrone soup and half a brioche roll. Dinner is prawn stirfry made by DH.
Hoping to get out into the sun for a walk in a bit, have to stick a laundry on and do some jobs first.

Not2bObvious · 16/01/2021 17:05

That is pure alcohol and carb bloat gen, give it 2-3 days of back on track and it'll go and show you what you lost. Honestly, we don't gain kg's/lbs overnight. Sadly we don't lose them either but that's up to us to accept or ignore (sez she who takes a loss as gospel😉)
I'm in bad pain today, managed a potter to the shops so at nearly 10,000. Spent the last 45 mins marinating in the bath in an attempt to lessen the doms. I guess it's positive that I did put in some effort. Takeaway planned for tomorrow but it'll be a dry day, the start of my 5/2 AF. Had a glass of wine in the bath, it was lovely

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 16/01/2021 19:08

Mostly bread, meat and chocolate today

Not2bObvious · 16/01/2021 19:15

Sounds tasty life - are you ok?

OP posts:
Mrsmadevans · 16/01/2021 19:16
