Jumping January

[Octopus37]

Thought I would start the new thread a day early, cannot believe this thread has been going for two years. I joined on 2nd Jan 2020. I'm going to put today's weight in 9st1.25, so a gain of three pounds in December. Aiming to get back to where I was by the end of January and in the longer term a few more pounds.

Not a brilliant day yesterday cause I hardly managed any steps. Managed about 3,000 in the morning when I took the dog out, but it was so cold and rainy I couldn't face going out again. Also a bit too much chocolate. Your snackident made me laugh @Hangoverstruggles, I love Hotel Chocolat. I didn't weigh today cause got up and dressed immediately cause the shopping delivery is due. Will weight tomorrow and see.

Had a major snackcident myself yesterday involving crisps and gold bars. I just called that my food for the day and left it at that. Fortunately I take supplements and this morning I've had a protein shake.

Still scales dodging. Might brave a look tomorrow.

You are all doing so much better than me, I've been rubbish. I'm back on the school hike though and am helping a friend with house clearance and I'm on my feet all day and lifting and shifting. I had an early night last night so at least I'm active and engaging in some self care. Still need to get batteries for the scares.

Well done, lbb2020! Checking in at 10/7 here, and steps already done - however we are getting takeaway pizza tonight. Balance, innit? I feel like I am still in holiday mode because we only went back to work yesterday.

You're still here though @DirtonthePlough, I disappear off thread when I'm acting up. Good on you.

Thank you @Judystilldreamsofhorses
I had a Costa hot chocolate with cream on top today! But had a decent dinner and have just done a workout video with DH definitely balance!

Happy Friday everyone. Hope you have a good weekend. I fit fish and chips into my calorie budget miraculously. Now I have 2 days of fancy meals to try to navigate. Gah.

Enjoy your meals out @NutellaEllaElla!

Bad couple of days here food wise...must get back on the wagon tomorrow!

Definitely finding it harder to get started again! I'm usually quite motivated initially but this weather & feeling very run down is making it difficult to keep motivated!

A few more of those chocs were consumed yesterday on top of what I'd allowed myself...but still within my maintenance allowance so not a total disaster. They're all gone now so no more temptation 😁

Today plan is to only eat between 12-8, drink lots of water & get to bed at a sensible time!

@Hangoverstruggles the weather definitely doesn't help. My steps have been rubbish recently and I just want to eat carbs. Also the whole fed up factor doesn't help.9st0.75 this morning, I expected to be a lot more. @NutellaEllaElla enjoy your meals out.

I'm the same. Three good meals yesterday and 2h exercise but also 2 slices if chocolate cake! I start each day so well. I need to find the time and energy to prep skme more meals so I feel in the zone!

The weather here is miserable today so we’re stuck indoors trying to keep myself busy so I don’t give in to left over Christmas treats! (also keeping me from getting cross with DH who is in a bad mood because he’s tired which is not helped by being stuck inside!). Happy Saturday

A day indoors here too. 10/7 this morning.

9st dead on this morning, The scales decided to be nice to me on my birthday. Still negative and will be testing DS2 later, hoping we have got away with it. Hope everyone is having a good Sunday

Happy Birthday @Octopus37!
10st 11lb this morning so that’s 1lb down this week, happy with that!

Happy birthday octopus”, and well done lbb2020*. 10/7 here and did not do my steps yesterday.,

Happy birthday and well done everyone.

Happy birthday Octopus

Struggling a bit of late - I only really took a few days off for Christmas and yet I'm finding my appetite has really increased.

12:1 today. I have booked flights for Easter so have less than 2 months till I have to wear something to swim in Might have to try something extreme.

So I think, I hope I managed to keep to maintenance calories this weekend which in the grand scheme of 3 course meals is good going.
I have also launched my private practice website! Now I just need some business to come my way.

Well done @NutellaEllaElla that sounds like a massive achievement. @swallowedAfly you have done fantastically, bet you cannot wait for your holiday. Thanks for all your birthday wishes. I went out and met my bestie in the end, she had omicron in December. DS1 has just tested negative, so can hopefully go back to school tomorrow. DS2 still negative so all good.

Thanks, it is a milestone indeed.

I met my water goal for the morning. It's the afternoon that it tends to slip.

Is it bad that i'm already counting down to a holiday in 4 weeks time?

Braved the scales this morning, 9st1.5. Combination of Birthday excesses and lack of exercise, although I managed my steps yesterday.

Ooft, 10/9 this morning. Hopefully just a blip!

I'm counting down till have term already Nutella!

12:0.2 today so going in the right direction at least but not yet back to pre-Christmas weight.

It'll be a blip Judy.
