New thread as old one nearly full

Thank you all for your kind regards re Mum and her fall it's so very kind of you all . Yes, Mum falling is one of my biggest dreads because it is what happens after , especially if they cannot mobilise quickly again. I can't believe how kind Bob is to her though he's amazing
Gorgeous meals Happier don't blame you wanting to forgoe the pill free week , if l had my time again & they had this on offer , l would bite their hand off
Gen that sounds lovely l love cauliflour
Not l love the snow you are so lucky l am green with envy lol

Snows all gone now but still chilly enough for the tiny snowman dd built to survive so she's happy🤗
I pulled myself together and did 25 min body combat and 30 mins jogging. On 9,500 so that's a vast improvement from the 1,700 I was on at 4pm. Exercise really does lift you, pity I needed to be dragged practically kicking & screaming some days. Just under an hour to snack time 😋

I know why don't I remember the good feeling I have after when moaning about starting.
13500 steps after multiple snow ball fights,

Too much food though. Enormous pile of gnocchi which is loaded with calories

Pure comfort carbs life, necessary & the snow activity will have offset a good chunk of cals.
Had my snacks, all done now - on 1600 and I'll leave it there

Down .6 this morning, up 1.2 on last Wednesday so not too bad. Proper covering of snow here so that's my drive to the office put off. It'll be treadmill steps or house steps today

Lots of snow here. Managing to maintain my 1/2 stone too heavy weight. No increase is the current goal

Pretty much melted here, got my steps on the treadmill - jogged for 50 mins, no speed but pleased with the endurance. Something about working up a sweat always makes me think I'll drop 10lb instantly😂 Delusion central here.
Maintaining is brilliant life, it's practise for the future when you drop the few excess pounds.
Lunch snaffled. Bloody hours til dinner! Need to keep busy

Only got 10,500 steps yesterday - need to do more today. About to set alarm for three hours time and try to conquer a really large marking pile, will get up every 50 mins and walk around house for 5 mins. Then will drag DH out for a walk after dinner.

Good for you gen, you're really putting the effort in.
Hit 1600 and fighting the urge to have more, the urge should go off me soon I hope. Just over 12,500 - nowhere near 15,000 any day but means I'm not too hungry. It's a fine line

12,500 is a hell of a lot more than most do these days! I managed 15,000 every day last week but this week am already down 4,400 because of yesterday. Argh. If I can get out for even 25 mins in morning then I usually make the 15000 easy, but that’s not easy to achieve when I have so much marking etc

8500 today

Evening everyone,
Have been ok today , busy with Mum
Life the snowball fights sound wonderful l am green with envy
Life great stuff keep maintaining !
Not good work you have a great attitude to keeping going , good the .6 came off too
Gen hope you have finished your marking
Dh's birthday on Fri he wanted a choc fudge cake from Costco so Dd2 bought one tonight for him. I can see the weekend being a bit torturous for me

Off to MumBobs in a bit, am getting a Valentine's meal from Marks for DH birthday tomorrow so l will be indulging l am afraid .
Hope everyone is ok, it's freezing cold here but no snow thankfully 😊

Mind l love snow and want it to snow when l see ppl have it, there's noo pleasing me is there 😅

Didn't weigh this morning, dog took off after an animal in the ditch last night, and knocked me. I'm sore and feeling sorry for myself and didn't sleep well so left sad step alone for today.

It's trying to snow here but it's not cold enough

haven't weighed in this morning. and have only managed 1274 steps.

i'm not feeling it today. or for the last few days. so have been taking it easy.

Ouch hope you feel better soon happier

Hope you're ok happier
Sts this morning, same pattern as last week. Haven't helped myself by having an iced bun & slice of buttery toast for elevenses after a veg sausage sambo on a thin for breakfast. Slight feeling of fluff it. Hope it passes, just under 1,500 steps.

I didn’t weigh this morning but did go out for a quick walk so on 6,000 steps and will go quickly at lunchtime and then after lessons stop so hopefully three walks around 5000 will get me there. It’s bloody FREEZING.
em I watched Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society with DH and we both now desperately want to visit Guernsey! It looks so beautiful.
Food today - eggs and mushrooms with 1/2 a toast for breakfast, slice of ham and a satsuma snack. Lunch will be soup and a slice of goat cheese and tomato tart. Dinner is fish cakes and veg of various sorts.
Taking a pregnancy test tomorrow morning! So excited 😆 it may be too early but I can’t wait any more ahaha. If negative will leave it and retest on Sunday morning.

Ooh exciting and nervous at the same time gen

Oh gosh, I remember planning my testing. I think I was about 4 mins late (slight exaggeration, only slight mind) I did think afterwards it made the pregnancy long but in all fairness it's a fair stretch regardless! Very excited & hopeful for you

My period doesn’t normally turn up til 13-16th but with ivf they medicate you from day one of your cycle so it’s all a bit different. I won’t panic if I get a negative tomorrow as clinic told me not to test until 15th loll

eeeek gen i'll keep all fingers and toes crossed for you.

guernsey is lovely (although full of covid right now). i've only been once though. should add here that I live in Jersey.... hahaha - equally beautiful.

i think the Others was filmed here, as well as the real housewives of Jersey....the latter shows our island off in all its glory. looks bloody fabulous. the housewives however....

if you want a film about Jersey, try "another mothers son" be warned though its a tear jerker. and a true story.

Around 200 over today, 200 under for the last 3 days so ok I think? Takeaway planned for tomorrow

My poor knee
