New thread as old one nearly full

Ooh mrs I hope your DH had a nice day. My DH woke me up by speculatively groping me so he’s currently under the patio thinking about what he has done I don’t mind him indicating his interest but I hate being woken up!
Walk planned for this morning before we start the 4 hour round trip to PILs.
Pizza tonight which I’m looking forward to - not takeaway just one of the fresh ones from supermarket. I must admit if my test on Monday is negative I’ll be having a large glass of wine and gin

Last week with the toast, this week with the groping - that fella has a death wish!
Takeaway has shown itself, up 1.8 this morning. I will not lose my shit, I will not lose my shit... & repeat. Having a pint of water and a cuppa up start the de-salt process. Bigger child has bought valentines present for me, it will be chocolate I know it. After last weeks debacle (30+ quality street, 10+ black magic) I have to do better. DIY jay wiring kit maybe 🤔

*jaw, stupid phone with stupid owner

@Not2bObvious

Never had marmite. I don't think it's a thing here 🤔 Although I have seen those HC in M&S, I'm kind of banned from buying HCB's as I buy rather too many yellow stickered ones a couple of years and took over my spare freezer I don't even like them that much, just a scourge for a bargain!

This is something I’d do. I bought 11 packs of naan bread last week. Because they were 50p each. And will freeze and we’ll use them.

Oh absolutely, you can even use naan as a base for pizza. Can't do that with a hot cross bun sadly.

Gen l would much prefer the toast 🤣🤣🤣
Em l am the world's worst for this , l have 4 freezers hangs head in shame 😂
Not it will come off as soon as it went on 🤩

4 freezers, that's living the dream. I'm loving the waste not want not deals I get sometimes in Aldi, 1.5kg chicken €2? Don't mind if I do!
4,000 steps trotting on the spot. Aiming for 10,000 today as the outside looks too wild for a walk. Steak for dinner

Actually it's Lidl not Aldi that do waste not want not. Up to 6,000 - egg on toast with a rasher for breakfast

D's Valentine's present. It was heart shaped and is bloody lovely.

Oh my that looks delicious 😋

It is gorgeous. I will Take one for the team and help him eat it.

You're a trooper life, I helped my kids with their Pringles earlier - sometimes you've just go to be selfless

at the groping gen
My teeth let me know if I ever move away from sensodyne mad
Not I said same about marmite on frugaleers thread

Bf staying tonight first time with dc at home, they're very excited, dd wants to bake a choc cake and ds wants to bake brownies.

Life that looks fab

Ahhh Life bless him! He is a lovely boy! It looks delicious too
Happier l used to be a Sensodyne devotee too but changed to Lidl's a while back and it is excellent have a lovely weekend with your BF & DC it sounds lovely
Not l love the boxes of veg/fruit for 1.50 yes 4 freezers and they need me to use the stuff up too! Hence the cottage pie and chilli today, MUST use the stuff up!

Thought I was flying with my cals for a Saturday til I realised I hadn't added Pringle'gate to my confession mfp
Blast...oh well still 600 or so less than last Saturday so my plan to not cock up as much is still operational

We had pizza after PILs. I dare not even consider calories. Other food was ok...ish...(avocado toast and an egg, celeriac and fennel soup with sourdough, 1/2 slice cheesecake... 2 biscuits ... ahem.)!

I had pizza and cheesecake. Scraped 7000 steps

Scales up another .4 on yesterday, average up .5 from last Sunday. It's like day 1 again tomorrow, I definitely need a decent week done before I can start seeing any progress and this last week has been pretty good. Averaged around 1800, I can lose on that if I keep my steps around 10,000-12,000. Roast dinner of sorts planned, no doubt there'll be too much chocolate around but I'll have to exercise a bit of restraint

I was 64.5 yesterday and this morning 65.15 - thanks Pizza!!

Carb bloat, be gone by tomorrow gen
Kids bought me lovely treats, him was instructed no chocolate so got lots of actual roses instead - good old M&S! They're beautiful, going to have a nice time arranging them later. I usually get a good week to 10 days out of them so very pleased. Got the treat stuff taken away from my greedy paws immediately and had my guacamole/egg/wholegrain toast brekkie. That'll keep me going for a bit. I'm going to have a browse through my LM and find a workout to do before my treadmill jog. But for now, bed/tea/crappy tv😬

Given its the start of lent on Wednesday I might aim for a 40 day focus
10k steps, 3 fbw per week and 16-1800 calories

Good idea to set an do goal rather than a cut out goal life, I've failed spectacularly with lent goals the last few years. Used to be good at it. Quite frankly I think we've all lost enough this last year without adding to it! Still drinking tea and contemplating what workout to do. Should do weights as my other two this week were body combat. Just for balance

I just dipped out of 90 min yoga class at 52 mins. Was not feeling it. Will go on long walk with DH after lunch.
We have ordered a meal from a local French restaurant tonight - it’s an antipasto sharing platter, halibut with fennel and chocolate and pistachio brownies. 🐷

Last night we had steak dauphinoise potatoes and greens. God it was good. And churros. I bloody love a churro.

I had a crumpet for breakfast. And roast chickeny chicks will be had in a bit. With a ton of veg. Might crack open some bubbly. Because Valentine’s Day. #any excuse.
