Happy April Fools day! I'm a terrible gullible gal so I'll have to keep my wits about me today.
Very pleased this morning, 1st March I was 166.4, today I'm 161.2 - 5.2lb down for the month. Haven't had that good a result in a long while, of course I was starting from my higher side of weight in a while but that just makes it better. I've just over 2lb to hit my 1st goal of 159. So that's the focus this month, hit 159 and set a new goal. Sorry for the me me me, just a happy Easter bunny here 🐰

MrsMadEvans brown soda bread is not a yeast based bread at all so no proving needed. I'll get a pic to show you what I mean

Happierwithouthim · 01/04/2021 09:00

It's dense

Gensola · 01/04/2021 09:09

We have just been invited to another friends’ garden so feeling very loved and popular 😂 accidentally slept in so need to get going on the spin bike before we set off. No booze from today now for IVF purposes which should at least keep weight stable, especially if I low carb too.
not I have already had to point out to DH that a video of a giant grizzly bear hugging a human and watching the sunset was probably fake Grin

Mrsmadevans · 01/04/2021 09:14

Not excellent work well done lovely l missed your update but that is wonderful news for you 👏🤗
Gen thinking of you Sweetheart have a wonderful time 🤗

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/04/2021 10:45

Great going not

Not2bObvious · 01/04/2021 11:22

Thanks very much all. Don't you know it'll shoot back up tomorrow just to bring me down to earth but for the first bit of today it felt good. Did 50 min body pump and 30 min jog on the treadmill, at just over 7,000 steps. Only had breakfast there now!
Hoping very very very much this ivf cycle is the one gen, and how lovely to be seeing friends again today.
Looks like the weathers starting to turn here, darn it. Cannot believe there's wintery conditions forecast, although going by this last year nothing should surprise me!

18000 steps and 600 cals left. It's gonna hit me tomorrow isn't it

Gensola · 01/04/2021 19:35

Lovely lunch with friends. No booze Halo there may have been coffee cake however. Allegedly.
40 min spin but steps only 3000 - post dinner walk maybe.
Tomorrow I have a day at home planned, my scan is at 0900 and apart from that I’ve nothing on, going to tidy up and potter.
Dinner tonight is courgetti with vegetarian bolognese, DH says please can he make garlic bread, I said no Grin

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/04/2021 08:18

Mm sounds just what you need gen. Good luck with the scan.
I need some Senna TMI sorry
Walking today fitting a class in might to be tricky basketball it's ep day

Not2bObvious · 02/04/2021 09:45

Makes a change for someone else to mention movement issues, so no tmi warning needed life, I should own shares at this stage!
The secret to weight loss appears to be all the wine and no snacks. Must be completely dehydrated, 159.6 - down 1.6 on yesterday. My scales could have been mistaken for a step this morning, checked & rechecked a few times. This was not easy with a hangover. And I have to do ep shopping & visit today. That'll learn me. Ahh well, I had fun for a change

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/04/2021 10:42

Oof school girl error not EP + hangover = not a good mix

Happierwithouthim · 02/04/2021 11:01

Hi everyone
I'm feeling positive, got a walk yesterday, and this morning before work.

scales is not moving either direction so that's indifferent 183lbs.

Not2bObvious · 02/04/2021 11:15

Yup, this will put manners on me for a while. And the teen wants to come with me for a walk before shopping. That's my ear bent off me for an hour😣 Heads lifting as it is

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/04/2021 20:16

Ep drove me to peanut m&m bar. Not even my ep epil

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/04/2021 21:22

Feel sick now

Not2bObvious · 02/04/2021 21:28

Sorry to hear your visit resulted in a snack'cident - I'm no stranger to that occurrence following interaction with EP. My visit went v well, even if I did feel sick as a small hospital. Got over 12,500 steps on my walk too. But I'm absolutely shattered now, hope to get a decent sleep. I've been lying around since 3pm! Just about stuck to cals, might be 50 over. So a good day for the diet, a bad day for my liver🤢
