No it wasn't mentioned by them, someone else said it and when I went back to see had anyone said anything the comment was gone. New people there wouldn't know the history, probably earned themselves a ban.
Good work doing the classes, I'm going for a walk since I've done my 3 weights sessions I committed to. Ouf I'm knackered though

Not2bObvious · 09/01/2022 19:36

Sounds like you're stuck in baked potato Groundhog Day mrs! Hope you've recovered from the difficult day with your mum.
I managed a walk & then ate a huge lunch, and a few snacks. I haven't tracked it all yet, maybe tomorrow. Will try to stick to the 2000 average this week as well, still easing my way back into it.

mrs I’m coming round yours for a baked potato! Mine’s a beans and cheese - maybe with a cheeky side of coleslaw!
Cals today 1467, steps 13,000 but might still get to 15000 as need to do some hoovering. 50 min spin class but second half I wasn’t feeling it so just cycled as best I could.

PT sesh tomorrow - hope she’s pleased with me staying on track over the weekend! 😬 😇

lifelongfrugaleer · 10/01/2022 07:25

Doesn’t matter gen you did the class . I’m sure your pt will be proud

Baked potatoes are mmmm we haven’t had them for ages. That’s a lot though

No weight lost but all the chocolate is gone now (that i like). Going for no crisp no chocolate and fitness this week. Best start tracking again I suppose too

Not2bObvious · 10/01/2022 07:45

Scales shot up again to 169 post salt/sugar weekend. A bit frustrating but it isn't that surprising. So I have weekend bloat to contend with before dealing with the other half of the Christmas gain - way to make a Monday feel good. Teen being obnoxious as well so yeah, great start. School run then breakfast, might get McDonald's and be done with it

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 10/01/2022 07:46

Probably won't get McDonald's in all honesty

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 10/01/2022 09:23

Don’t get the McDonald’s, it’s not a good start to Monday. Sorry teen is being obnoxious hopefully better demeanour after school

Not2bObvious · 10/01/2022 10:09

Nah I didn't bother, not a fan as I often say, just the handiness of being able to drive through. Had a healthy breakfast

You would only have been hinge again soon . Waste of precious calories

lifelongfrugaleer · 10/01/2022 10:46

Or hungry even - hinge wtf?!

Gensola · 10/01/2022 15:21

The last time we had McD was when we were moving house and I was starving again within literally half an hour 😂 I was outraged

About to do 40 min strength and 30 min spin. Might as well make the most of it before teaching takes over my entire life again! Car broke down on way into work, praying it’s not £££ to fix 😳😱

lifelongfrugaleer · 10/01/2022 15:30

Oh no gen. I’ve had an eat my feelings day but pup has been a pita

Welcome anytime Gen Smile Not baked potatoes tonight lol what a relief phew! Grin We are having Shepherds pie & peas tonight Smile
Mrsmadevans · 10/01/2022 18:33

169 is a blow but it will be off before you can say Mcdonalds Not Grin
Been ok ish , not really felt like eating today tbh, will have some Shepherds pie just now Smile

Mrsmadevans · 10/01/2022 18:36

Have recovered from Mumgate thankfully , it has given me food for thought Not , pun not intended Smile
LIfe sorry pup has been a pita , it goes like this when they are young , they will learn Smile

Wolfcub · 10/01/2022 19:07

Another half kilo gone. Whether it stays off with stress eating I do not know

Not2bObvious · 10/01/2022 19:44

Thanks mrs, just sometimes you really question how you're doing as a parent when they behave the way my one did today. Anyway, difficult teens are nothing new! On the 169, weighed just before I did my workout at 3.30pm. So after breakfast/lunch and loads of water....I was 167.6 - eh??? It would make more sense than 169!
I did 45 mins body pump and 45 min treadmill walk.
You're on fire gen, that sucks about the car, fingers crossed it's nothing too pricey.

OP posts:
Not2bObvious · 10/01/2022 19:47

Hope you're ok wolf, sorry you've been feeling stressed. I wish food wasn't the easiest comfort when feeling under pressure. Of course the bloody guilt afterwards doesn't help the stress.
Ooh mrs Shepard's pie sounds soo tasty

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 10/01/2022 19:58

Fucks sake sore throat and ache tonight. Carried on eating my feelings. Try again tomorrow

Happierwithouthim · 10/01/2022 21:04

I don't eat potatoes but baked potatoes seem like such a quick lunch/dinner.

Salmon & noodle veg stir fry for dinner last night & lunch today. My work colleague has joined slimming world so it's great because she was convenience food & processed food queen prior to this.

Got lucozade zero tropical flavour in Iceland this evening, reminiscent of lilt I think

Gen hope car isn't big bucks
Not McDonald's wouldn't fix anything
Life puppy is like having a bold toddler in the house I'd imagine

197.2 this morning 🤔🤔🤔

Gensola · 10/01/2022 22:45

happier what no potatoes AT all?! 😱

Cals today 1450. Steps not quite 15000 at 13,656. Workout was slightly odd. At least it’s done!
