Have a wonderful time Not Smile

Thanks mrs, the only restaurants you can eat in here apart from takeaway is if you're staying in a hotel - so we're ridiculously excited. Outdoor dining is available from Monday but it's Ireland - the weather is atrocious most of the time!

Not you have a wonderful dinner too , it really does us good to spoil ourselves sometimes Smile

Gensola · 05/06/2021 18:46

We are having dinner in a restaurant that is on a boat Grin absolutely starving so can’t wait to get there. Friend who we are staying with hasn’t been too free with drinks or snacks and we had lunch at 12!

Mrsmadevans · 05/06/2021 22:54

OMG Gen that's tight lol perhaps she's doing IF Grin
Have a wonderful time that boat dinner sounds absolutely lovely Smile

Down 0.6kg to 78.3kg. So the no snacking and lots of water seems to be working. which is good but I loves a snack

Off to the zoo today with the kiddos so will get a good few steps in.

Gensola · 06/06/2021 12:17

Had such a nice time last night but now hanging really badly 😱 tapas was beautiful but we were so hungry by the time it came we basically inhaled ours and were finished loads before our friends hahaha, embarrassing!
Friend provided breakfast which was NOT low carb but very nice bread and pastry, so have planned healthy lunch of frittata with peppers, onions and spinach with a grated carrot side salad and for dinner baked salmon with courgetti, homemade pesto, roasted tomatoes and broad beans.
No booze ever ever again

Mrsmadevans · 07/06/2021 08:20

Morning everyone 😀
Sounds like a good weekend Gen. 😊👏❤️
Excellent stuff Em 😊👏
Hope you are really enjoying your bank holiday weekend Not
Been ok ish but really need to get going , lots of fruit and vegetables in my basket today!!
Have a lovely day everyone 😊💓

Not2bObvious · 07/06/2021 08:49

Oh boy, I've had a lot this weekend. The feeling of overwhelm was huge this morning but I put everything in mfp, what I remember. Today is still technically a holiday so I've had my hotel breakfast, but a bit smaller. We have Chinese planned for dinner at home, but after that the rest of the week will be on track until Sunday when we have visitors. Hard to shift the catastrophic thinking but it's not helpful or hopeful so chin(s) up!

Mrsmadevans · 07/06/2021 21:11

AHH Not don't sweat it , you will be back to it tomorrow and be fine again for Sunday you'll see 😊👏glad you had a great weekend 🙂 👍

lifelongfrugaleer · 08/06/2021 07:23

I'm back. Ish
Not the weekend was exactly what you needed. Couple of days and off you go again.

I'm focusing on food and fitness. Not tracking as too restricted diet or weight as too obsessed.
Can leave the house much as have pup now. He's not allowed walks out this week.
So focus on less processed foods and less junk. Possible restart pump too when I unpack my weight bar.

Not2bObvious · 08/06/2021 07:51

Nice to see you back life, good plan on just nutrition & fitness, one day at a time. Congrats on the puppy, have you moved house too? That's enough to be getting on with.
Thanks mrs, it was nice to get away & eat out etc. Our proximity to Aldi and the delicious crack'choceur was the devil itself though!
Anyway, line drawn, up a chunk but down a bit on yesterday. It is what it is. Hoping to do my weights later, get a walk in etc, nothing punitive - there'll be no punishment, focus will be on good food, plenty of fluids & no wine!!!

No house move and I think that what tipped me over the edge stress wise

Mrsmadevans · 08/06/2021 10:17

Life exactly it's stress and very triggering 🌻
Not that's it Lovely you are back to it 😀👏👍
Was at a mountain centre yesterday and a very thin man was sat not eating, while his company all ate . When he got up l could see he was enterally fed. It made me think a lot. Life is sometimes very strange. Here was me fat as butter scoffing a bacon roll and Cappuccino and there was him thin and ill. I bet he would have given anything to be fat as butter like me . Made me feel very fortunate.

Not2bObvious · 08/06/2021 10:38

The poor man, yes it's a real eye opener seeing situations like that, as is said so often your health is your wealth - best to do something about it when you can, we never know what's around the corner

11100 steps. Happy with that.
Got some chocolate orange for my birthday and they are horrible. Loads of pasta for tea so billion calories

Not2bObvious · 09/06/2021 06:55

Happy birthday life! Pity about the orange chocolate, I'm very partial to it myself, ok partial to pretty much all chocolate! I finished the day on 1500 which is less than half of what I'd been eating over the weekendBlush
Haven't had my morning weigh yet, hoping for a better number than yesterday. I did do weights though so we'll see
