I had them with cheese & pink sauce watching emmerdale, they were yum.
I hadn't watched emmerdale since I moved house at end June.

Got my walk and did body pump so thrilled now, 2 workouts this week which is more than I expected. Feeling like I'm getting back on track.
Cheese & pink sauce on chips, ooh yeah 😋 Planning a Sunday lunch for dinner time, bloody starving despite having a toastie/biccie/popcorn. 3 hours to go

We were supposed to go to a BBQ but after I got ready I felt so tired and weird, DH made me lie down and I slept for almost three hours. So have basically spent all day in bed 😬 feeling so drained and weird.
Have weighed and have gained 1kg 😭

Happierwithouthim · 05/09/2021 18:51

I'd my dinner at lunchtime today so now I'm hungry and I don't know what to have.

Gen your body's been through a lot, good on your dh for insisting you slept.

Not2bObvious · 06/09/2021 07:19

Down a bit today, 168.8 - I was 171.2 last Monday so if I had an official weigh in day it would be brilliant. Only up 1lb since Friday, that's good progress. Average cals last week were 1850, previous week 1950 so that's good too. Behaviour is improving over time. In new workout gear hoping it inspires me to stay active today - working of course but I have some time before/lunchtime and after.
How's everyone feeling? Geared up for a good week?

We ended up with 2 5AA embryos (that’s the absolute best quality they can be) and one 5C which is average but viable. They put one of the excellent ones back and froze the others so if this doesn’t work we will get at least one more chance before having to pay for another cycle. So happy!!

lifelongfrugaleer · 06/09/2021 13:04

Great news gen. hope it sticks this times

Being reasonable today but having a jobs day

Happierwithouthim · 06/09/2021 13:27

Hopefully this time will work out but good that ye have a second chance without it costing more money.

Not2bObvious · 06/09/2021 14:23

Have you had the excellent one put in yet gen (sorry have no clue about this, forgive my wording) That's great news 😊
Started C25K as it's been over 3 weeks since I ran and I need to start small & measurable.

OP posts:
Gensola · 06/09/2021 18:05

not yes, I have one AA embryo on board and another in the freezer, plus the C grade one also frozen. So even if this one doesn’t stick we have an excellent chance with the other AA. Feeling really happy and positive. DH and I both cried when the doctor told us we had three 😍

Mrsmadevans · 06/09/2021 19:23

Omg Gen that is absolutely wonderful , l am so pleased for you both lovely Flowers
Not that is a great idea , it's not too demanding of your body and eases you in slowly much kinder to your body Smile
Everyone seems up for it this week Grin
Beautiful weather here today hope you have all had a lovely day Smile

That should say absolutely fabulous news Gen.

Gensola · 06/09/2021 20:26

Thanks wolf, mrs, not, life Smile I’m feeling so positive, usually I’d be obsessing about how soon I can test (not til 17th!) but I just feel so happy we have this chance and the other one in reserve.

lifelongfrugaleer · 06/09/2021 20:44

Rest up gen, no stress either.

Mrsmadevans · 06/09/2021 20:55

It's given you hope Gen Smile Flowers

Happierwithouthim · 06/09/2021 23:08

Did HIIT training tonight, it was intense but good. PT tomorrow night & reflexology wed night.

Not2bObvious · 07/09/2021 07:16

Glad you enjoyed the Hiit happier, any aches today?
Back to 167.8 - new boomerang number for me. Office work & food shop today, the excitementHmm

Happierwithouthim · 07/09/2021 08:24

We've no bath in new house so no Epsom salt bath so I'd say I'll suffer later & have PT session tonight Shock only time I could fit one in.

It was tough but I got a buzz off doing it, way too many mirrors and reflective surfaces there for my liking Grin

Cool weigh in, I was 198.8 compared to 200.4 previous day.

Not2bObvious · 07/09/2021 09:24

That's a brilliant weigh in happier, hope the PT goes well.
40 minute brisk walk in a beautiful park before work, very Misty, really enjoyed it

Not2bObvious · 07/09/2021 21:28

Not a bad day considering I had pizza for dinner, around 1900. Got my walk in & a decent walk around a large shopping centre so movement at least. Day 2 of C25K in the morning, and possibly body pump at lunchtime. Working my way back to consistent.
How did the PT go happier?

Mrsmadevans · 07/09/2021 22:45

Oh excellent weigh in Both Happier & Not well done ! FlowersSmile
Been busy, so consequently very good Grin
Epsom salt bath is just the dogs wotsits for aches and painsSmile
I will be having one of those in the morning for my back thank you for reminding me Happier ! Smile
