not you're doing well, don't be too hard on yourself

Thanks happier, decided to just follow cals today and allow myself my full 1800. Got just over 15,000 as well so job done. Looking forward to the weekend, did have a little blip on Tuesday but apart from that it's been an ok week.

Went riding today and got my 15000 steps in. I count riding as part of that because it’s a work out for me too. Nice 1.5hr hack out then some rather springy canter work. Pony was loving it today.

Went over on cals today - 1650 but did manage my 15,000 steps and a spin class. I know my problem is snacking, when I get tired mid morning and again mid afternoon. Need to cut that out and my cals would be great! I think at my height I need to be around 1200-1400 to lose, 1600-1800 to maintain.

Mid afternoon for me is a danger time. Also if I start eating too early in a morning.
I'm average about 7-8k steps which is pretty poor

Morning everyone ♥️
Mia yesterday , it was my cousin's husband's funeral and I really didn't feel like posting anywhere afterwards, it was so sad, my poor cousin and their daughters were terrible it was heartbreaking. Bless their hearts. I did MumBobs in the morning then got ready and went to the funeral. It was all outside only 30 ppl. We stood outside his house and saw him off first, there were so many ppl there paying heir respects. I went to Marks and bought more meal deals for them because l knew they liked it last time and there is nothing else l can do . It's so hard to find a way to help when in reality there is nothing at all l can do.
l wouldn't wish this abject suffering and misery on my worst enemy.
I'm so sorry to offload on you all. I won't mention it again just letting you know what happened.
Hope everyone is doing well and not feeling the after effects of any flooding. Normal service will be resumed soon l promise ❤️

Oh mrs how terribly sad. You are such a lovely supportive cousin. My brother died this summer at the age of 29 and I can confirm things like bringing the M and S ready meals will mean the world. There is nothing anyone can do to take the pain away but we were all on our knees and had no focus or energy to shop or cook, so people bringing food was genuinely helpful. Xx

My target for the coming week is to get control of my snacking and also to set more realistic to do lists - I end up feeling bad every eve because I haven’t done my list even though I’ve worked 0830-1830! As a teacher there is always more marking or prep you can do but I need to stop setting goals I can’t meet.

Oh mrs, that's so sad and so hard - I hope they can huddle close and be together, bless you for the practical help. I'm terribly sorry for your loss too gen, life is very cruel. Had a loss last year in the family and the repercussions of it are still very hard, made worse by our current mad world. As my dad says, count your blessings, I used to find it a bit irritating but I see more what he means. I guess when you're nearly 90 and you've seen what he has in his life, he gets it.
Anyway, we're all good I hope apart from wanting to shift a bit of excess so we live healthier and in turn happier. Let's eat to nourish, exercise to flourish, and never use either to punish! I'm clearly feeling poetic today

Off load as much as you like Mrs. Big covid secure hugs.

mrs definitely don't refrain from posting here, if your post only deterred one person from making a wrong decision in respect of restrictions or covid advice it's worth it.

You're doing what you can for them in place of what you'd like to do by sitting with them, and sharing photos, memories and tears.

I'm wrecked today, did a kind of jog/walk on the treadmill so I have my 9,000 but I'm completely drained after it. V quiet in work today, and I've been fighting the urge to have lunch since blooming 10.30! It is going to take serious restraint not to eat all the biccies. Scales down .8 this morning, 1lb down on last Fridays average weight so that's a positive.

Sigh

This week has been a double chocolate bar a day week.

If it gets you through life, it's worth it. Only a tiny concern if it's 2 x 1Kg bars...I could do serious damage to one of them today! I hope you're ok
Dragged myself on a quick walk to push my lunchtime out a bit. Made a skinny double burger, was very nice & hit the spot.

I've set my calories to 1600 to start again this weekend.

I ate the bigger green and blacks bar from my selection box thingy last night, I had promised myself I'd wait until the rest of bars were gone, there were two ginger ones and one dark left of the 15g ones, they weren't going to cut it yesterday.

Is it really bad I'm thinking about going to aldi specially.

life no I would defo go! I haven’t met my fitness goals today and am having pizza and wine but I survived the week, so ffff it. Plus if IVF works I won’t be able to have wine for bloody ages so might as well have some now.

I didn't go but ate one of DD mini chocolate bars. In self loathing mode at the Moment as u done my good work

I think 1600 on the weekend is too punitive life, especially if you're on a bit of a struggle. Go maintenance, 2100-2200 maybe? No point in being too strict

Good point not. Bit to much to go straight in hard

Evening everyone 🤗
I can't thank you enough for your kindness and support and compassion towards me. l really appreciate it thank you so much ❤️
Gen l am so sorry to hear your Brother passed away last year that was such a young age , any age is awful but 29 is just devastating for your whole family 😢
Not l am so sorry to hear you suffered a loss in your family . Things like this really make us realise the important things in life your Dad was right 'count our blessings indeed ' 🤗
Happier thank you so much 🤗

On the food front l have been busy & it really helps with keeping off the food. Jacket pots and beans and cheese tonight, proper comfort food 😋

😋 that is a lush comfort dinner mrs, I'm making a note to have that soon

Mmm I love that too especially when the cheese goes all gooey
