Nimble November

[Octopus37]

Hi, here's the new thread for November.

Starting out at 8st9.75 this month. Obviously not a normal month. Personal aim is to eat more healthily and get my energy back.

Happy Friday everyone! 10/7 again here but we are about to have a Waitrose Chinese fake-away. I have done over 15,000 steps, and yesterday almost 17,000, so hopefully it balances out. Hope everyone has a nice evening.

Evening all. I'm plodding along, not feeling very motivated this week as I've got DD's cold. Always makes me more hungry for some reason! But not much energy, so not been for a run yet this week ☹️ trying to go east on myself though.........it's tough trying to rest and recover when juggling kids/work/housework etc as we all know! Hope you start to regain some energy soon @Octopus37. Big well done to those that have lost......very inspiring. Hope dc starts sleeping well again soon @LBB2020 it's so hard to resist sweet stuff when sleep deprived.

Enjoy your Chinese food @Judystilldreamsofhorses! That’s an impressive amount of steps you have done over the past few days! Thanks @sparklyglitterball, unfortunately he’s not slept well since the 4 month regression (he’s now 14 months ) so we’re pretty used to it but the tiredness does catch up on me every so often! Hope you’re feeling better soon and get chance to rest over the weekend

Good morning all and happy saturday!

I've not had too bad a few days but not feeling brave enough to face the scales. Just that feeling of feeling large in your own skin and I know if the scales confirm it I will obsess too much so I'm avoiding (I'm a wimp)

Quite excited as I've booked a PT session tomorrow at the gym to shake up my usual routine a bit. Booked it early too so I can't over indulge at the pub this evening!

Well done LadyD.

Somehow the scales say 12:9.6 which would be a huge whoosh. I will try not to get too attached to the number but definitely a new low.

Wow that's fantastic @TheHoneyBadger. @sparklyglitterball hope you feel better soon. I'm up here, 8st11.5, hoping to try to be a bit healthier next week and to up my steps etc.

Fantastic Honeybadger! Going to stick to my once a week weigh and keep up plentu of healthy stuff. Might manage some steps today if I can persuade the dc out after lunch!

10/9 here today after Chinese food last night, plus my period has started. I’ve done 10,000 steps today but tomorrow is likely to be a pj day.

Sounds like a good plan @HeyGirlHeyBoy. @Judystilldreamsofhorses hope you enjoyed your Chinese, I love Chinese food. 8st10.75 here this morning. Going to try to get some more steps in.

Chinese here too unfortunately - ds begged. I'm avoiding the scales today because Chinese is always disastrous for water retention for me.

Are you feeling better Octopus?

Good to know it’s not just me with the Chinese! I didn’t weigh today since my period has come. Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.

@TheHoneyBadger yes I'm feeing much better thanks, just a bit tired. 8st11.5 this morning, had to take DS to A&E cause he's hurt his hip, took 5 hours and meant very few steps. Hope everyone has a good Monday

Hope he's ok now?

12:10.5 today. Not as low as after the uber whoosh but quite a lot of it still gone surprisingly.

I think it's everyone with Chinese - it has a lot of salt.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
Glad you’re feeling better now @Octopus37, hope your DS is ok?
10st4lb this morning, didn’t eat that well over the weekend but we did walk a lot! Working today so that should help keep me on track

@Octopus37 I hope your DS is okay.

@TheHoneyBadger I was the same with my super low. I knew it wouldn't stay, but it meant that a lower weight somewhere in the middle had been achieved.

A bit of self sabotage from me this weekend. Had a slice of Costco pizza for lunch, which is bad enough, but also bought a big box of their cookies and have eaten way too many of them. I did go to the gym Friday night, Saturday and Sunday though.

Weight is 11st 10.5 this morning. Not going to beat myself up about the weekend, and just get on with my fast day. I have hopes to be 11st 7 by the end of November.

Today I am SO hungry and just want to eat all the things. I have had so far:

Soft boiled egg with a slice of toast and Marmite
Tin of chicken noodle soup with a slice of brown bread

I want:

ALL the biscuits and crisps.

Those long waits are a pain octopus, hope he's OK. Going well today.
2 Weetabix and cappuccino
Keto chicken dish I saw online, double cream, red pesto, garlic and feta. Delish
Chilli with creme fraiche and cheese
One hour of exercise.

Well jel of the Costco food. I remember the days where I'd buy a tray of a dozen chocolate muffins. They're like 700 calories 😭

I braved the scales! Stayed the same but I'm taking that as a win 😂

@HeyGirlHeyBoy we have a phone GP appointment for him later. They think its ligament damage so can hopefully refer him for an MRI. I'm not doing well on the eating front here, till hungry from being ill I think. Wanting a lot of carbs, but trying to get some fruit and veg in. 8st11.75 this morning.

@NutellaEllaElla

My DD wanted muffins, but I decided against it. I love them too though.

11st 9.5 this morning after fasting yesterday. I'm hoping I can be sensible with my food today. I have a sore shoulder so couldn't do some of my gym workout last night, but focused on other stuff instead. Better than not going.

I am inexplicably 10/10 today - I know I can't have gained 3lb of actual fat since Friday (can I?) but bleurgh!

Do you have bioped scales? I know they aren't hugely accurate but I find it quite reassuring when I can see its muscle and water that's caused weight gain rather than fat itself 😂

Sounds like fasting is suiting you @LadyDanburysHat and well done for getting to the gym!
Sounds like the scales are having a funny moment @Judystilldreamsofhorses just ignore and keep going
Sounds like you had a good day too @HeyGirlHeyBoy!
I’ve just bought new scales that show BMI, water, muscle etc @ColleysMill so I’ll have to work out how to actually use them properly!
I couldn’t keep out of the cupboards last night after doing well all day back at it again today, fingers crossed it’s a good day!

Be kind to yourself @Octopus37 you’ve just been ill and now have your DS to think about
