New thread

Absolutely- and I have to say it was extremely enjoyable. Just watched the Davina thing on menopause, very enlightening

Ah i Saw the trailer for that. Must fund it on catch up. Which channel?

How are you feeling today?

I'm tired.

Channel 4 so it'll be easy to get.
Snap, I feel drained this morning. Sts for the third day in a row, it could be worse. Should be up and out walking but no energy yet. Watch out for the munchies, I'm definitely going to have to start the day with a decent amount of calories, otherwise I'll be feeding the tiredness through crazy grazing

@Not2bObvious

Self medicated with a good amount of ice-cream, didn't even weigh it, pure rebel here. Glad you're doing ok mrs, thanks for the well wishes. I think my head/ears are blood pressure related, need to calm down (kids, family, life...) Bit sore after yesterday's weights, it was pretty tough in hindsight. I'm no Arnie that's for sure!

You take care Not l think when everything is going mad in this world we don't look out for ourselves enough

I always get that tiredness after sugar overload it's horrible. Menopause programme sounds excellent tbf l am well past it so not for me Doing ok atm, God knows after

Fell into chippy chips and chocolate ice cream after a stressful day

Chips & chocolate ice-cream for dinner sounds just perfect on a sh*t day, you've got carbs/protein/delicious all rolled up there.
Steak & stuff here, oh yeah and some Chardonnay, cause it's Thursday

Attempting (might not succeed mind) to leave 190 behind. I am a bit hungry but it feels like it'll pass if I let it.
Did 25 mins weights/20 mins body combat at lunchtime, just over 10,000 steps.
If I don't see a loss in the morning, I will.... just have to accept it! Knowing my broke ass body, I'll see a gain

Down .4, back to 163 again. That's 1 week of on track calories, so need to do the same again and will hopefully see 162 by next Friday. Supposed to do my third workout today, I'll see how the day goes.
How's everyone else getting on? Any plans for the weekend?

1 of bloating today as also rammed a load of peanuts down my neck.
Tired and continue stress so we will see.

Might end up using some of my saved cals today as feeling hungry. Had a lush toasted sambo for lunch...with a few crisps...and a choccie biscuit

Undone my good work with last 2 days stress eating
Hey ho
! Try again today

Ate to maintenance yesterday, still about 500 less than a normal feck it Friday so no guilt there. Had enough left over from during the week to cover it as well. Woke at 5.30 but fell back asleep around 6 to now, feel sleep drunk!

Up .2 which is a good result for a Saturday. Have had some cake for elevenses, yummy. Not sure what I'll get done exercise wise today, very wet here so walking isn't a great option. I've only done 2 weights this week, maybe I'll get my third tomorrow. Not in the humour of changing into workout gear and setting weights up. Probably going to be a trot on spot day

MIA yesterday , busy with Mum and Bob, took him to the bank , Mums tablets picked up and put into her pots for the month, it takes me ages but once l get them l do it for the month because it's much easier. Every pkt comes in 28's enough for the 4 weeks till next time so it is easier for me to do them altogether
Food has been ok , busy is the answer

That is excellent for a Saturday weight Not It is absolutely soaking here! Horrible day! Life l too know of the joy of falling into Chippys & Ice cream

It actually cleared up and I got a nice brisk walk done so I'm delighted with that. Lying down now like a lump😂
You're a good daughter mrs, hope you're relaxing today

Aw thank you Not that is so kind of you , am so glad you managed a walk , it is awful here and freezing cold !
We are watching Calamity Jane , my Dd2 25 has never seen it before , she is loving it !

13800 steps, hefting boxes was my weights workout.
Mixed day food wise but not too bad

That's a lot of activity life, I'm sure you worked off any food you ate.
Had more wine than planned, done now so it'll be fine.

I did this last night

Yup usual old fashioned Saturday, old habits die hard 🤦‍♀️

I couldn't stop eating last night I was just hungry.

You ok happier?

Afternoon everyone
We are having Pizza tonight, so l am trying to be good till then but am hungry. Going to have some blueberries and an apple now to stave off the scoffs. Hope everyone is doing well , weather still absolutely awful, heating on in the morning and evening for an hour because it is still so cold , it's nearly June l can't remember ever having to have the heating on in May before !

I am wondering if the cold is making us all feel more hungry!
