Jouncing into July

[Octopus37]

Hi, here's the new thread.

So after a good loss last week, I am up, 9st 3.5. That said, I am down 1.75 since the beginning of June. Hope we get some decent weather again this month.

Lovely, enjoy.

Another decent day food and drink wise. I might have to buy some meringue nests, strawberries are super sweet right now and my sweet tooth is almost out of control. Those mini Reese's are taking a hammering!

Hope you enjoyed your walk!
That’s a good idea @NutellaEllaElla I’m taking the children to the local fruit farm this week so we will be picking strawberries!

I'm down another lb. That's 2 over the course of the week and 2 off my maintenance goal.

We did the photoshoot at the weekend and have seen some pictures. I must be happy with my weight because i've been obsessing about my nose and hair 🙄🙄🙄

The other day I made some orange jelly with mandarin segments in some Gu ramekin pots. My mum used to make them when I was a kid, I remember making them too. Pouring the orange juice from the tin into the cold water. 60 calories a pop, great refreshing fridge cold snack for this weather. I recommend them.

Gosh it's been years since I picked strawberries, I bet they will be delicious.

Yes the strawberries sound yum.

Up half a pound this morning 8st13.25.

We picked some yesterday. There's big planters around the village full of herbs and strawberries for the community and you can just help yourself. I love raspberries and you can eat loads for very little calorie count. I have a big portion of yogurt and raspberries for lunch sometimes.

I was just talking to DH the other day about going strawberry picking. I'm eating a lot of them at the moment anyway.

MY PMS has hit hard in the past couple of days. I have horrendous stomach cramps. Yesterday I popped to Tesco and ate a bag of crisps and half a huge bag of minstrels on the way home. Not great, but today is a new day. I have my second vaccine today, so exercise is probably out of the window for a couple of days. I'm also socialising at the weekend, food and drink, so no great expectations if this week.

Feeling munchy today and more water isn't helping.

8st13.25 this morning. My Son's last day at primary today. He is ready to leave and I am ready to leave, but think it will still be an emotional day.

Morning. I'm up a little bit but that's ok - I've had some very lazy days plus a family occasion this week.

Went to the gym yesterday for the first time in a while and going back tomorrow. Will say what the scales say on Sunday by which time period should be properly over.

Hope last day goes well Octopus and well done on being nearly back to goal already Nutella.

Hope the last fast went well @Octopus37
I’ve kept to my eating window of 11-7 up until this evening as DH ordered a take away!

Last day that should say!

Thanks @LBB2020 and @TheHoneyBadger his last day went well thanks. He is a bit sad to have left primary, but think its fear of the unknown. Luckily it wasn't quite emotional as I expected. We went to The Harvesters afterwards which was nice. Have got my appetite back so ate more yeserday and therefore 9st this morning.

I’m glad his last day went well @Octopus37 and you enjoyed a nice meal!
My eldest has a month left at his nursery before he moves onto preschool which I’m feeling quite emotional and apprehensive about, he has Down syndrome and his current nursery have been fantastic but his new preschool seem wonderfully inclusive and I think once he’s settled in it will be fantastic for him (it’s a mainstream school/preschool). Parenting is full of worries and emotions!
I’m going to try to get some exercise in today, make the most of DH being home!
Hope everyone has a good weekend

Understandable LBB. Hopefully the preschool is as good with and for him as the nursery.

I'm back to my low of 13:1.6 this morning and am off to the gym shortly however I've been invited to friends for dinner tonight so....

Well done @TheHoneyBadger and enjoy the gym and your dinner this evening (it’s all about balance )

Thank you. Think I'll burn at least 2700cals today - hopefully I can't do that much damage this evening.

@LBB2020 hope your Son's new preschool are as good with your Son as the nursery. Your apprehension is understandable. @TheHoneyBadger you are doing so well. Felt quite PMT like yesterday, waiting for my progesterone bleed to start properly, also very busy so I just ate loads of carbs. 8st13.75 this morning. Just ate a yoghurt and an apricot for breakfast. My Dad might be coming out of hospital this week

Thank you @Octopus37
Great news about your dad, hope he gets home soon!

Thanks @LBB2020

8st13.25 this morning, surpirsed cause I ate quite a lot yesterday and thought I would be loads up. Hope we get the good weather back again soon.

I think I lost the June thread, let alone the July one.
Still, no gain this last fortnight despite going camping and having to eat a lot of cooked breakfasts.

Lovely to see you back @drspouse, hope you enjoyed your camping holiday. 8st13 this morning, hoping I can maintain it. Would love to lose a bit more but its taken me forever to get this far.

Weight on an upswing that I'm trying not to take personally

That under 9st zone is sticking Octopus - well done.

Well done @Octopus37
I didn’t stick to no eating after 7pm over the weekend but back on it again now! Went for a nice walk with the baby yesterday and hoping to do a YouTube exercise video once the children are in bed tonight! I still don’t have any scales but am feeling better not waking up bloated and feeling yucky from eating rubbish all evening!
