New thread

I hear ya, I'm pretty sure medicinal magnums are mandatory on bad days. I've one calling my name in my outside freezer...for sure tomorrow will be better. We don't give up, we pause. Hope the children are ok and you are too

@Happierwithouthim

194.4 again this morning. My friend is going to weigh every thurs and we'll buddy up

Happier My Dd2 and her best friend are going to do this , her friends legs are absolutely awful , she stands on them all day for work and with this heat & being overweight they are so swollen bless her .

@Not2bObvious

Tempted to give up and neck a bottle of wine but I'm not going to. Hope you're ok life - tomorrow's another day

Good girl Not it's not worth it you are right

Life that's what Magnums are for a little piece of 'ahhhhh'
Hope Dc are ok
SOD are just a right torture , they need throwing out !
Had stuffed mushrooms and corn on the cob for tea, it was lovely , washed down with a cold diet orange Tango

happier sorry to hear about your divorce. It’s such a torturous process, they really need to reform it and sort it out.
life I hope your DC feel better.
I haven’t managed any exercise or many steps the last two days as I’ve been so busy at work. Hoping to do a spin class tomorrow and get steps in.

I've been and bought new mini magnums with a kind of caramel biscuit layer? I'm not helping the cause am I
I was busy today too, saved me from the food but I could eat now. Hiding away in bedroom for a bit

I also made walnut and Stilton sour dough to go with the curry.
Both DC are unwell now. Hey ho. Crap steps too 6800.
Never mind

Tired this morning.
Dh is wfh but on American time. So late shift

My Fitbit died during yesterday so I'm guessing 10000 steps based on Monday as I went for similar walk.

Saw first loss of my restart this morning 2lbs, pure water weight of course but it's gone!!

I had a cheeky leftover slice of pizza last night wasn't hungry so I'm a little annoyed with myself, it's gone now so hey ho what's done is done.
Thurs is a challenging day for me as I finish work early and it has become a free for all kind of day, so dc asked to go to shop that's selling milk from a machine like slushies and you can add flavours it's also a fruit and veg shop so I'm going to distract myself with nice fresh fruit

Total delusion here, weighed twice, took the lower number - for justification, I should be the lower weight, so all's good.
Have company tonight & want to avoid drinking, in a bad habit of using it as an excuse. But needs must, I'm away the following two days so I need good behaviour today & most of tomorrow to have a hope of not ruining all my efforts.
How's the children today life? Hope you're all feeling better

@lifelongfrugaleer

Tired this morning. Dh is wfh but on American time. So late shift

How's everyone feeling? Will work be ok today?

life hope everyone feels better today! I am wrecked, was hoping to get on the bike but need to conserve energy to get through my lessons.
Despite DH offering me wine and G&T several times last night I didn’t give in so slept better. He’s definitely a bit of a diet saboteur, it’s taken him about 6 months and repeated reminders to stop constantly offering me bread and cakes etc. In the end I got a bit cross and said why are you asking me 10+ times a day if I want carbs when you know I’m trying not to eat them. He was quite chastened.

Girl child has gone to school, boy child is next to me here. I sacrificed aerobic for catching up with work..
Hopefully Zumba tonight.
However crisps at 930 am is not a good start.

Hopefully the day doesn't spiral life

It has a bit. I'm struggling with motivation

To the best of my tracking, just under cals and just over 12,500. So considering I've had 2 visitors today, one for elevenses, one for dinner - that's good going. Happy I've managed 4 good deficit days, saved around 1200. That shall come in very handy.
Hope everyone is doing ok

Seeing your comment life, funnily enough my weekly email from James Clear (Atomic Habits) had this nugget:
"Motivation often comes after starting, not before.
Action produces momentum."

Ha yes, I need to get into action. This week has been tough. I will begin on Saturday again in a perverted way. Must avoid Aldi crack choc Sunday thought

Start any day you can is my advice! I too need to avoid the crack'choceur. Discovered the caramel version the last weekend I was away, and the plain milk chocolate, really gorged myself on both.
Must have had more salty food yesterday as scales up 1.6, tbh was quite miffed but I've talked myself down from catastrophe. Bloody bsod though, b being for bast*rd. Away for the weekend, be back to to 168 Monday no doubt 🤦‍♀️

Deliberately haven't tried the caramel but the milk one mmmmmm
Forced 20 minutes aerobic this morning and feeling a bit better

Lunchtime weight down 1lb, go figure! Fluid flux. Did 30 mins weights, 30 mins treadmill- glad I got it done

Afternoon everyone [smile
Been busy here sorting through a recall for our car which has proved difficult to arrange , the boiler has sprung a leek and l have been onto British Gas since forever, Food not to bad though
Fishcakes, broccoli and corn for tea
Sounds as of we are all ok, that is great down a 1lb Not
Life Hope the Dc are much better their hazelnut choc is gorgeous too
Gen well done on resisting the temptation ! Naughty Dh

All their choc is evil gorgeous

Their salted Carmel honeycomb magnum copy is disgusting. Send them to me I will save you all.

It's good I'm not a cynical person, if I were I'd think you were saving them all for yourself life😂
Away so lots of vino and nice food but I am trying at least not to snack to the same degree as previous trips. Not doing too badly. 11,000 steps so far today, dinner not til 8😢
