Gen Llantony priory is absolutely glorious , the Abbey's stonework is so detailed to think it has lasted 900 years . You have got about a good bit fair dos , so glad you have enjoyed yourselves

@Happierwithouthim

Not that's not even much overweight, doubt that doc has ever struggled with her weight.

I got a kiddie cup in centra this evening, I fancied ice cream, it also had a kind of kinder bueno sauce on top but it was portion controlled, I could've got a 99!

OMG Happier that sounds delicious ! I have not eaten anything yet , l am having half a pizza tonight and a fruit salad, just fancied a fruit salad

Thank you mrs, I think my bmi is 28 so not doing too badly. My EP has a tendency to monopolise all conversation with outside parties and ramble on, then wonders why people seem impatient - eh hello they're trying to do a job and you've spent an hour giving them an unrelated back story. Hella funny though she was protecting her honour😂

I know Not ! l can see the funny side of it now but honestly who cares!
She's 89 and Bobbo is 90!
BMI of 28 sounds good to me !

I'd think they'd want people to think they were at it like knives 😂😂
Went for an after dinner walk, just over 12,500. That'll do pudgy girl, that'll do😉

It must be a parent thing. Mil rambles on and also is stone deaf. However fil only tells you bare facts. Gah!

Did Zumba last night and tired as hip and foot sore so couldn’t sleep. I see lots of ibuprofen in my diet today. Day 3 no sugar. No other weight or tracking but feel less bloated

That's an achievement life, good for you. Scales at last edging down but still 1.6 up on last Friday.
I listened to a podcast I saw someone on another diet thread recommend, the ESGFitness podcast, I went through the list and picked episode 201, tough truths about dieting, it went through these points:

• The weekend is over 40% of your week
• You aren't in a deficit if you're not losing fat
• No one is coming to do it for you
• You don't need to eat more to lose fat
• YOU are the common denominator
• Your perfectionism is holding you back
• You are comparing yourself to the exception not the rule...Survivorship bias

Really interesting and enlightening. My Friday to Sunday weekend messing is 42% of my week. I saw that and I'm invited out to friends tomorrow, ugh so hard to be "good"

I'm so sorry for your loss gen, may he rest in peace poor soul. There's no limits to people's lack of attention to detail even in the most sensitive of subjects, poor woman

I would be furious gen. sorry to hear about fil

What!
That sounds very draining and stressful. Is D H an only child? His kids need a very stern talking to but that’s easy for me to say
Look after you gen.

I've many thoughts on this and very very sorry you're facing this but
gen, this is the type of post that gets lifted and shows up you know where, I'd consider reporting to ask it be deleted, I've seen at least 2 recently

And that wasn't meant to add to stress, I hope our quiet corner is that but if it goes into active threads it's a risk. Apologies no added upset intended

Thanks not I acted on that advice

Phew! A bloody talk show here in Ireland as well as DM scour MN, always seeing popular threads made into stories and it's scares me we can't share safely. Glad you could get it gone easy. Sending you lots of virtual Silly childish carry on, shameful

It’s just more stress DH doesn’t need right now on top of all the admin and the grief. He’s having to do all the ringing up and registering etc.

Reading between the lines I am so sorry Gen
Your poor Dh

I love this little corner of MN it feels very secure
Have been ok the last two days busy busy bisy so it keeps me on the straight and narrow. We are having Shepherds pie and veg tonight .
Chinese for the footie tomorrow though

Have put on weight over hols. Currently fasting until lunchtime as we are going to DH old friends birthday lunch today. Did 30 min spin class, we will walk with friends after lunch.
Going to try IF again, try to fast until 12 each day and stop eating at 8.

I feel like I've put on a stone in 24 hours after being at friends overnight. I'm exhausted. Not a hope of getting my steps today, back in my pjs and lying on the couch with tea & chocolate
Away from tomorrow for a few days, that'll obliterate the couple of pounds lost over the last few weeks. Oh well, such is having a life

Gen that sounds lovely enjoy yourselves
Not you have my sympathies it is very difficult living in this tightrope all the live long day , some days are much harder than others
I have been fine till now busy so that is why but l am going to have a Chinese tonight while watching the footie

Tried today but ate my feelings stressed. But no more than 2000 calories and 10900 steps. Weight now 10 lb + over goal

Life not tooo bad tbf
Not hope you are ok l know you are working away from home take care
Gen hope the fasting is working , hope everything is ok now lovely
Have been ok , eaten a lot of fruit and veg today to try to fill up on good food instead of blinking junk!
