Phew ... thought I'd lost you
Apparently I am only "watching " this post
How is everyone ... Kitty I am in awe of your restraint ! ❤️

I am home and searching for food

I am here. The smartarse that batch cooked lunches for the week and then went to work leaving her chicken and broccoli salad in the fridge at home. Emergency Greggs trip it was! 🤦‍♀️🤬

66babe · 13/07/2021 17:56

That's the kind of thing I'd do @Hartleyhare1206
And then not fancy it later
Having a massive spud with fat free cottage cheese and pineapple
And butter

Hartleyhare1206 · 13/07/2021 17:58

Ooh love a good jacket spud! 😋

66babe · 13/07/2021 18:00

Me too ... my fave ! Just a shame about the butter

Thank you 66babe, me too. Grin
Aww, Hartleyhare1206, how annoying!
I had a jacket potato for the first time in months last week. I was trying low/medium carb (And was told on the diabetic thread NOT TO EAT POTATOES. Shhh.) but was getting pretty limited in what I was eating, being a veggie too, so I caved and had some. Sainsbury's frozen, and I can recommend them. Smile

66babe · 13/07/2021 20:16

Did you put it in the microwave or oven Kitty ?
I bought some of those McCain ones once - it says 4 mins in microwave
It was absolutely vile
Never again

Do like these allegedly high protein thin bagels
Have a good day everyone

How spooky I had a jacket last night!..except I had cheese and beans and a tiny side salad so not the best but it's a start!

Hartleyhare1206 · 14/07/2021 10:21

@66babe bagels look yum! 😋

73kittycat73 · 14/07/2021 10:54

Microwave 66babe. The McCain ones are horrid, the Sainsbury's one much better.
I feel like I need to 'confess.' I'm off the wagon till Monday. I have been dieting since February and apart from my unplanned binges, I haven't had any official 'time off.' My cravings at night have become so immense they were overwhelming, last night they needled and pushed me till I give in. Honestly, it was bad. I think giving up smoking was easier than that I was planning a fantastic binge of ice cream, cake and chocolate and honey Cheerios, but having stuffed 4 Fibre One bars, 4 squares of dark mint chocolate and a Alpen bar this morning I went to amend my Sainsburys shopping and could only face adding ice cream and a muffin (Actually ended up buying salad!). I haven't been exercising as I've been off colour (Feel almost back to normal today, 97% better, still that lingering last dregs of feeling off.) either. So I have decided to officially give myself time off until Monday, weigh myself then, and start again. Will go back to weighing once a month as I find that easier.
There, that's my essay over. Grin
I hope you are all having a wonderful week and fulfill you diet/exercise goals. Will still be here, you can't get rid of me that easily! Wink Grin

66babe · 14/07/2021 11:03

You are allowed to a wee break @73kittycat73
You are very focused so I am sure you will get back on track easily
We will be here to make sure you do

Thank you 66babe. Smile Your words are very sweet. Flowers
I must be feeling a bit better as I was trialing a new ab workout and did it all in the end! This one:
It was easier than the one I was doing before, but maybe that will make it more sustainable.
Hope you are having a good day? Anything planned?

66babe · 14/07/2021 11:45

I'm working Kitty .. no other plans for today
Wish I was as committed as you 🤣

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 14/07/2021 11:46

Lol. I think I need to be committed! Grin Hope work is OK for you. You are a nurse right?

73kittycat73 · 14/07/2021 11:48

Sorry, I think that came out wrong, lost in translation kind of thing. I was meaning committed to an institution, in the mental health way.

73kittycat73 · 14/07/2021 11:52

Btw, I do like the look of those bagels. Is that poached egg and avacado on it?

66babe · 14/07/2021 11:56

It was exactly that 🤭
Be careful what you wish for Kitty
I could have you committed for the crime of only scoffing 2 Celebrations !!!! Everyone knows you must be at least ankle deep in wrappers ! 🤣

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 14/07/2021 12:00

I've had a lot more since then so I think I should be OK. Grin My mum was going out today so I asked her to pick me up a bit of chocolate. She's not long 'phoned me and by the sounds of it, has bought the entire chocolate isle. I suppose at least if I get my fill it'll remind me of how crap I feel eating too much sweet food and set me on the straight and narrow, until I forget again. Grin

66babe · 14/07/2021 12:07

If you need any help .... just saying ..
I've got none 🤭

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 14/07/2021 12:14

Oh no, no chocolate?! That's a bona fide emergency you know!
I was just browsing Ebay looking at earring for my mums' stocking. Ended up buying myself two pairs. Confused I must admit, I love Christmas, and love buying for others, but this year I have decided to buy for myself too. Adds to the fun doesn't it?

66babe · 14/07/2021 16:07

Oh Kitty 🤣 let's at least get some sun on my pasty white legs before you start Xmas wrapping I'm actually jealous of how organised you are 🤣❤️

OP posts:
Aria999 · 14/07/2021 17:45

Christmas presents for yourself are the best. You always know what to get! I normally clock up one or two before managing to find anything for anyone else.

73kittycat73 · 15/07/2021 18:49

Hi everyone. Smile How are we all doing? I feel off the wagon BIG time yesterday. I am officially starting again on Monday, but calming the fuck down. Grin I had been approaching losing weight like ripping off a plaster: the quicker the better. Is it any wonder I kept binging when I was being so strict with myself?! I'm going to up my daily calories from 1200 to 1400 after doing the NHS BMI calculator and another TDEE/BMR one, and calm down on all the exercise, just concentrating on my belly. Still doing the two yoga classes a week.
Feel back to normal health wise today too thankfully.
Hope everyone else is doing OK? Dull day weather wise here but supposed to be warm and sunny tomorrow so hopefully get out in the garden for a few hours.

66babe · 15/07/2021 18:55

Kitty !!!!! I never heard you swear before and there's me being on my best behaviour all this time thinking I may offend your delicate effin ears !!!
Enjoy your wee break and get back on it Monday

I've not been great no surprise there
But live in continual hope of waking up one day thinking ... god I really fancy a nice plate of melon .. not ... is there any chocolate left over from last night
How's everyone else doing ?
