Just woke out of a two hour nap myself couldn’t keep my eyes open and had a high temperature earlier on so I’m not holding out much hope for myself at this point

Dd is very tired & has aches and pains but otherwise ok

lifelongfrugaleer · 24/03/2022 19:31

That looks lovely happier
I’ve got 16590 steps and 3 calories over as I’ve developed an ice cream habit too

Hope you feel better soon and the rest of you don’t succumb

Happierwithouthim · 24/03/2022 19:49

I just went for a walk & struggling on way home total walk is only 2km Shock

lifelongfrugaleer · 24/03/2022 20:20

You are definitely coming down with something happier

Happierwithouthim · 24/03/2022 20:35

I think I'll test now, waiting until morning will just wreck my head

Mrsmadevans · 24/03/2022 20:53

Hope you are feeling better today happier
Back to my non bloated weigh so now the work begins

Not2bObvious · 25/03/2022 11:34

Hope you're ok happier, could be stress & adrenaline of course from worrying about kids/working/dieting etc. Take it super easyThanks
Down 1 whole pound today after a week at around 1750 and I'm absolutely thrilled. If I could just do the same for the next 2 weeks I'd be over the moon. Did a 15 min jog/25 min walk/25 min bodypump. I've another walk to get shopping for the EP so should easily get my 11,000 minimum steps for the day.

Fantastic progress not

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/03/2022 15:52

I did body pump and lived
Only basic weights though

Not2bObvious · 25/03/2022 16:16

Thanks a million happier, I know it's hardly a big whoosh but that's my body. I'd like to say slow and steady. But in actuality just slow😂
Oh what a stunner of a day, just over 14,500 on the steps easily.

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/03/2022 17:21

Steps not a problem, food ha ha ha ha

Happierwithouthim · 25/03/2022 18:48

Not I'm the same so we've got to appreciate it when it happens.

I expect pizza bloat tomo but was really good 😊

Ooh they look delicious. Bloat is temporary, sod it, it's Friday and you're dealing with the Rona, you deserve a yummy dinner.
I'm under cals today, bit hungry now but I had been fine - very busy day. Too late to eat anything else and teeth flossed/brushed.

Good woman happier, a much better option. I'm bang on cals with my low/high days the last 2 days, around 11,000 steps too so all good. 4 weeks with no booze, feels good. Of course it'll go to hell in a hand basket in 2 weeks but maybe not all the way to hell😬
I'll be having something of a takeaway nature tomorrow so I'll hold off a weight check until Wednesday I reckon. No point upsetting myself when I'm in the zone

happier some seriously yummy looking pics, it’s making me v envious 😁
not amazing! It’s such a good feeling isn’t it.
mrs yes thanks I’m home now, it was lovely but exhausting. Haven’t weighed as am sure I’ve put on. Need to leave it a couple of days at least. Le sigh!
life I’ve been living a student led life of scones/pasta/biscuits/crisps for a week. Similarly I feel I need a reset 😆 my students are def a bad influence on me!

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/03/2022 08:12

Yesterday was ok but not great food wise. Too many sweet things. Got steps though

They look lovely happier and well done avoiding the chipper

Well done not on alcohol free. There are some good low alcohol alternatives thought

Gen I hear you on carb central. It will soon go though.

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/03/2022 08:13

Happy Mother’s Day my lovely people. X

Not2bObvious · 27/03/2022 08:16

I'm feeling very lucky, my pair gave me lovely things - of course very early due to hour change but no complaints 😊
