Life anything we can help with?

I kept myself on opposite side of room to chocolate biscuits after taking one today, looking forward to my dinner now

No but thanks
Well done dodging the biscuits

Up early today as DD off for a show. Hungry though.
Got a cuppa before weight. Will track today and weight tomorrow.
Going to the park so lots of standing watching kids

No weigh here either, having family over for lunch so takeaway situation happening. May isn't getting off to a good diet start for me that's for sure! Weather is revolting here, lashing rain and gale force winds. No walks today, only house work steps. Got 4,500 by switching Fitbit to right hand. Cheater

Been to a 100th birthday party, well lunch today , the food was from the Celtic Manor , they had afternoon tea shipped in for us all. I ate it of course l did ! Not every day l get to eat like that 😊
It was amazing!
Hope everyone is ok ☺️ l think given the weather and the bank holiday it's a wonder we can stop scoffing the contents of the cupboard 🙄😱😁

And who wouldn't Mrs.

10000 steps bollocks food. Healthy ish but to much on plate ignores ice lollies and chocco biccies

No weight this morning but I'm back to tracking and on1500. Rain all day so steps will be a challenge tho I do need to go to the post office

If l am being truthful l really need to get my act together l really do.
I am finding looking after my Mum very trying and l comfort eat simple as. I need to look after myself better l know .

Easier said than done but yes you will most likely feel better eating well

I'm with you on needing to get my eating back on track mrs, I'm scared to weigh after this weekend.
Did ok today, got my 9,000 and in that's a 35 min jog/35 min body pump. Around 1600 cals in. Kitchen closed

Trouble is Life it is so hard to get back on track and keep it up, you are right l will feel better if l eat properly
I just need to keep trying till it clicks .
Not you try so hard and you seem to always get it back, you have
done really well today

Absolutely Mrs it is. I had months and months of half ass no proper plan
Change one thing atvatvtime and it will click.

Braved aside today. Not too bad.

Afternoon everyone
Thanks life l will keep plodding
Been okish today just trying to think of a way forward

I've had a day of it 300 over as hit the mid afternoon slump of boredom and chocolate bars

I've had a day of it 300 over as hit the mid afternoon slump of boredom and chocolate bars

Ever so easily done !

Watching Unbelievable on Netflix , it's very good
Also watching Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown , am loving her in it .
Anyone seen either of these?

Watched Unbelievable - really enjoyed it, Toni Collette is excellent and watched the 3rd Mare last night, I'm invested now. Kate Winslet is great in it, you'd never think she was British.
I had a fab donut this morning so I've been adjusting my day around it. Not obsessing too much at the moment, trying to follow normal hunger cues, we'll see how successful I am if I can keep it up over the weekend. Still haven't done a morning weigh

Totally lost it this afternoon

One group I was in (completely behaviour based, people on various plans) used to run a delayed gratification 30 day challenge. The idea being you held off on treat type/moreish/trigger foods gradually longer & longer. It appeared the earlier this type of food was had, the more likely it'd lead to an overeat. I had to work hard today to stop myself hitting the biccies after my donut but it was such a treat I had to be strict. It's done now life, maybe your cals are a bit low now you've introduced extra exercise? See how you feel over the next day or so and maybe reach out for advice from Peter

That sounds familiar not. The earlier I hit "bad" Food the more I eat.
I bought crack choc but haven't opened it.
No extra exercise but boredom eating which spiraled.
Will really focus tomorrow as going Into the office

I had to banish myself to bed. Ahhh not the crack'choc, that's asking for trouble. If only it were the old days, you could bring it to work and others would eat.
My saving grace is I'm busy'ish in work, off to my own office as well for the morning. I'll only have access to what I take with me so that should help. Should be doing weights tomorrow, might have to do it at lunchtime🤔

I did not eat the choc and went to bed, couldn't sleeps and for back up and hit the peanuts
Marginally up today
Office so have to carry ever thing
There will be a bacon roll from the cafe

Dragged myself up just before 6, got body pump done, 20 jog/15 walk. Nearly at 6,500. Quick weight check but not on the best surface so not particularly accurate but pretty much the same ball park as I've been, between 163-165 I reckon. I upped the workouts to 4 last week so I'm trying that again this week. It has little or no direct effect on my weight but it's helping my mind so no harm. Hasn't hurt me physically too much although my knee is v creaky

Being busy is the key for me too Not you did well 👏
Life excellent work re the choc crack 👏👏👏
Am just queuing to vote 🙄
No food yet and have a curry in the slo cooker 😋😋😋

Busy up to now, quietening down and my tummy has started to rumble - dinner time is at least 2 hours away. Feeling quite fatigued now after early morning weights/steps although I'm v glad I got it done - my evening energy isn't up to much. Really looking forward to the weekend, ep over tomorrow so that'll be nice, bit of company for them & us.
Slow cooker curry sounds yum mrs, enjoy!
How you getting on life, did you get the bacon sarnie 😋
