[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

OMG Gen that sounds horrible you poor thing
Happier that protein powder sounds horrible no amount of added Chocolate would get me to try it , you mean business l can tell!
Watching DOI , KImberley Wyatt was tremendous!
Been ok re food , almost everything gone from Christmas , tree down all stuff gone time for a re start tomorrow

I might try that protein powder.
I need to forget the aisle of past Yuma
Ah sorry gen about the marking.

I can’t be bothered today at all. Will walk the dog later

Happy Monday all. Didn't manage a workout yesterday, just a walk but it was enough. Great night out (til 7pm cause everywhere closes at 8pm) and then back for home drinks till the early hours. Quite wrecked yesterday and still knackered this morning but I'm going to push through and do a 30 min body pump after the school run. Aiming to hold off eating until lunch to let the utter junky crap I ate yesterday clear my system. Scales has a bloaty boat number that I'm casually ignoring, I'll check it again after I workout and shower.
Soo bloody tired 😢

Morning everyone ☺️
Sounds like a wonderful evening Not ignore the scales of doom 💐
Life have a lovely walk with your bow wow and see how you feel later 💐
We are off to IKEA this morning to look for a log basket for MumBob and DH wants to eat a hot dog and fries he's such a child 🤣
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

I'd love an IKEA lunch seeing your update mrs, I could polish off some meatballs & mash with gusto! Hope you enjoy. Plenty of steps I'm sure.
Dragged myself through workout/brisk walk. Up 2.4lb from Friday, hopefully it'll be gone by midweek and I can continue to work off Christmas. Also I'm starting the week with the aim of better nutrition so be interesting to see how it goes. I think I only fell into the Obesity Code wormhole (still on the fence about getting the book) midweek last week.

Dh had a hot dog and fries, l didn't have anything l was too busy looking for bargains Not
Yes lots of steps today not sure how many but my back was hurting me a bit so have had 2 Paracetamols. Food has been fine thank God!

Feet up for the rest of the night mrs

Somehow managed 10500 steps. Good ok ish. Have to be inventive with tea as can’t have planned as blocked drain means can’t drain down the sink

Thank you Not feet upon the stool and feeling much better thank you
Life that is excellent , hope that damn drain gets sorted asap for you
Jacket potatoes again tonight my Dh has a case of Groundhog day!

Great steps life, glad you're feeling better, that's a pain about the drain (poet didn't know it)
Scales still up which isn't helping my already tired and low state. Going to need to dig deep today, feel crap

I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages. Unfortunately last night ate a share bag of malteasers . It was one of those days

Meh, malteasers are full of air. Glad you slept well.
Ate a good breakfast to try lift the mood, around 350 cals and comforting. Next challenge is to get up and dressed.

139.3 today, well pleased with that! Official weigh in with PT tomorrow so just have to hope it stays there and doesn’t go over 140 again. Have been going to bed earlier and getting up at 515 to exercise, it works fine as long as I do go to bed as we get up at 6 anyway so it isn’t too much of a change.

life glad you slept - you deserve those delicious malty b*stards! 😬

Horrendous day of teaching today, I’m on the go til 6pm, then bus home as DH working late and we are down to one car atm as his is in garage and thanks to Brex-shit no parts available in UK.
Made my dinner yesterday and left it in the fridge tho, butterbean and pea falafels with minted yoghurt, roasted beetroots and sweet pot mash!

Your dinner sounds fab gen, I'd say you were raging when you realised you left it behind. Fab work on getting under the 140, and good for you getting up to exercise. I've done 2 x 20 min walks for errands and that's my lot today. Once I knew my outside time was finished I changed into fresh loungewear and I'm working from the couch. I just don't have it in me today.
In an effort not to eat too much chocolate, I bought digestive biscuits. As long as I don't eat them all, maybe it's better? One step at a time.

Wonder did the digestives end up as the gateway to eating crap, snaffled crisps & a fair whack of chocolate. Great carry on for a Tuesday

Sounds like an off day not, line under,
Good going gen. I would be vexed forgetting that lunch.

No good behaviour to report here

not if I had digestives right now I would eat the lot! I should mark exams but I literally cannot. Watching Queer Eye having inhaled some barely warm food because I was so hungry.
Currently debating whether to go to a work dinner on Friday, partners aren’t invited so I’d be leaving DH home and I feel like at this point I’m paying a PT £40 a week to sort me out and one big blow out night could set me back.

Gen that is some great going well done!
Not brush today aside and tomorrow is another day
Been ok ish , busy doing the Car ins, tax and MOT getting the cheapest car ins is a long process but it does pay off big time , l saved about 150 pounds off it

Life glad you had a good night lovely

Thanks all, I flossed/brushed teeth so no more damage would be done, and then felt like I'd virtually dusted the negativity off myself. Like I did with Christmas, I'm setting my sights ahead to my Easter break. I have a smidge under 3 months. I lost 9lb in 4 months for Christmas, so I'm sure I can shift 6-7lb by then. It's a realistic amount at the rate I lose. But regardless of numbers, it's one day at a time. I know so many people could lose twice or three times as much but I'm middle aged & weak willed so such is life.
Good woman mrs, that's a lovely saving.
I can't advise on nights out gen, I've barely recovered from my last one! I'm still 2.4 up on Saturdays weight and seeing that this morning is the root of my digestive/chocolate/crisps snaccident today. So I'll probably have set myself back another bloody day. They should use me as a cautionary tale....

Week 2 complete yesterday down 3lbs. Protein powder doesn't win any awards for me, though this one is grand.

Well done happier
Good attitude not
Hhhmmmm do you enjoy your work nights out gen. If you do go if not dont. One night out doesn’t mean you undo everything

Walk to the office today

That's excellent happier, if you get time maybe can you tell us what you're been doing with your new plan? I've 2 big bags of protein powder I keep thinking about using but nope ain't happening.
166.4 today, that's .8 down on last Wednesday. I was 165 last Saturday, I wish I could be 164 this Saturday. I've more chance I guess if I actually try and stay off the crap food & booze.

Took my start photo and measurements, going to measure once a week & progress photo. As the joke says my photo roll is now just even fuller with before pictures of me getting progressively fatter😂

Happier that is excellent well done lovely
Not you can do that by Easter, keep thinking positively
Life great stuff re the walk to work and back again , keep going
Been ok tired , we both fell asleep when we came home from MumBobs
done a slow cooker chicken curry for tea , it smells lovely
