That must be a nice tea life, mine was under 400 which is stupid cause I'll be hungry in a bit but old habits die hard. Need to leave space for my evening snack(s)

My steps are only recorded if I have the phone with me so 8,300 - I've probably scrapped the 10,000 but pottering around the house but actual active steps are the 8,300 made up of treadmill and walk to/from EP (around 20-25 min round trip)

It was tex mex tacos. Working out what I actually had is nearer 600 calories

Gensola · 15/02/2022 19:16

not be kind to yourself that sounds like a pisser of a day!
mrs glad you enjoyed your treats 😊
Mmmm tex mex nachos sound delicious life
We are having shepherds pie made by DH who is definitely more Spritely.
I haven’t worked out today as still not feeling well and trying to listen to my body. Might go for a walk after dinner to get my steps in.

What's up?
Happierwithouthim · 16/02/2022 10:39

I didn't have a day like yours not but also did a workout & it was a struggle but got it done

lifelongfrugaleer · 16/02/2022 12:32

Tired, not seeing results. Demotivated but have asked coaches for help

Happierwithouthim · 16/02/2022 12:34

Ok, that's a pity at this point because you're not long with them

Happierwithouthim · 16/02/2022 12:37

Got feedback from my coach and there was no focus on the gain at all, I explained week off pill

lifelongfrugaleer · 16/02/2022 14:10

Yeah, not worth the money imo

Mrsmadevans · 16/02/2022 20:40

Not sorry you had an awful day yesterday hope you are ok Flowers
Gen hope you are feeling better sweetie Flowers
Happier are you happy with the feedback, l hope so Smile
Life hope you are ok lovely Flowers
Been ok todayGen gone back to the baked potatoes tonight GrinGrin

Gensola · 16/02/2022 21:44

life that’s really disappointing tbh - happier are you also feeling a bit disappointed in your coach or do you like that approach?
I haven’t worked out in days but have been keeping to decent food. So tired!
Hope I’ll feel less dead tomorrow and can get back on it.
mrs 😁 gotta love a baked potato! We had puttanesca pasta, courtesy of DH. I’m putting myself to bed early now in the hope of a workout tomorrow.

Happierwithouthim · 16/02/2022 21:46

Gen I'm happy with it, he focused on what I'd achieved during the week & said not to worry that scales will fluctuate.

Mrsmadevans · 17/02/2022 14:29

Glad you are happy with the coach Life it makes all the difference if you are Smile
Gen swap my baked pot for your puttanesca pasta sounds delicious Grin
Hope you are ok Not & enjoying yourself lovely Flowers
Been ok today just home from Mumbob, new neghbours moved in, they are a lovely young couple from Cardiff been to welcome them in going to take them a card and a bottle of Prosecco later bless them , it reminds me of when we moved here 27 years ago !

Not2bObvious · 17/02/2022 16:32

That's nice of you mrs, lovely welcome for them. I'm as well as can be expected for a bad tempered aul bag which is my official title these days😂 I'm pretty much ignoring the scales apart from a couple of mid day checks which show no progress in the hoped direction despite keeping to cals & keeping active. I'll just have to keep doing my best

Mrsmadevans · 17/02/2022 18:53

lifelongfrugaleer · 17/02/2022 20:03

Keep on not
18500 steps and 29 calories to spare. Now to add body pump and rinse and repeat

Gensola · 17/02/2022 20:32

I managed a strength workout and a spin. Steps just over 15000, cals 1500. Didn’t weigh today so will do tomorrow.
WFH tomorrow morning due to the weather warnings but have a meeting I will have to go in for at lunchtime.
We are having friends over for dinner tomorrow - starter is burrata, pea shoots and pea salad, main sea bass with roasted fennel and cherry tomatoes served with roasted new potatoes and green salad and then I’m making a cheesecake topped with figs and blackberries. Hopefully they’ll still be able to come despite the storm.

Happierwithouthim · 18/02/2022 07:40

God stuff life
Gen menu sounds lovely

I've done both workouts assigned for me for this week, set up a space in my hallway for equipment.

Not2bObvious · 18/02/2022 07:46

That's a restaurant quality menu gen, I'd battle through a storm for that.
Might do a Friday weigh in later, maybe once a week is the way to go for now. I've had an ok few days, a little over cals yesterday but nothing mad.

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/02/2022 09:07

That food sounds delicious
Marginally down today and walked to work. Pump at lunch time

Happierwithouthim · 18/02/2022 09:34

Also down this morning, and my gluteus maximus is killing me from split squats yesterday, hot shower needed Grin

lifelongfrugaleer · 18/02/2022 10:19

Ouchy but good ouchy
