New thread

It will take a couple of days to get back into it after being unwell not.

I couldn't rush it if I wanted to in all honesty. I'm able for a bit of walking, I find I'm pretty tired as the day goes on. How's your boy doing?

This afternoon is the first time
this week he’s been off the
sofa,

That's progress at least, this could be the start of getting better.
I took a potter around the shop, dropped a few €'s, 2 bits are a tiny smidge snug but the next size would swim so something to aim towards. Having an AF G&T and feet up.

You can work with a smidge snug and get into those.
hopefully he will e better Again today. Just waiting for the school attendance knock now.

Will do some aerobics and pump this morning though have a headache

Maybe it's a hydration headache or lack of I mean. I forget kids are still in school in the UK, driving me slowly insane here

In scales news, scrapped into the 168's this morning. I so want to get under the 12 stone, hiding it in pounds is easier when I don't automatically know what 12 stone is, under 168 it gets fuzzy for me - not as much in my face. It could & has been worse. Just over 12,500 between early morning walk & shop potter. Knackered and need to do EP visit

Yay that is wonderful News
Not 👏🤗
Life l agree withNot could be a hydration headache l had one last week it was so annoying because it didn't go with Tablets so l realised then 😱🙄🤣

Been ok here, busy busy busy with the toddlers aka MumBobs 😂

Ok. Weighed myself. 176lb. Which is 12 stone 5. I’m not happy with this.

I also currently have a bloat belly. And feel flabby and fat. Had my last glass of wine for a while (drinks have crept back in again - not silly amounts but the odd wine here a beer there etc).

and am stopping snacking.

food today

overnight oats
chi Ken salad wrap
pasta salad for dinner.

gym in the morning.

my diet goes haywire when I’m due on period and also on period. Which hasn’t helped when I’ve been on period for 3/4 weeks a month at the moment. Ffs.

am drinking more water.

I want to get to 10.5 stone (65kg or 140lb). It’ll take work. But. I can do this.

Don't try go all in all at once, it'll just take a bit of time but you can get there. Sometimes we need a bit of a shock to galvanise us. If you're struggling with period cravings, don't overdo the exercise or you might send your appetite into the stratosphere. Gentle at the gym, plan protein heavy meals, walk a bit more, drink more water, be kind to yourself.

Oh no I’m not going to try and lose if all at once. I’d need to cut a leg off to do that.

slow and steady. Wins the race.

I have actually just done some stomach massage to help bloating. It had the er….desired effect!

Oh good, your list there looked like the misery trilogy, no wine/gym/healthy food😂
I wish I could fine a way to do a stomach massage that would help my issues, slow moving in that area!
Nearly 18,000 steps yesterday & around 1750 cals. Scales stayed the same as yesterday so in stones world 12 stone and .8 of a pound. Oh to see 167'ish again and lower.

My scales is broken I suspect I'm about 14st 7, I also want to get to 10st7.
Will get better first, only eating two meals most days since I got Covid and no snacks

Yesterday I was exhausted

I don't like what I see in the mirror, I still like myself don't get me wrong

I think weighing in lbs hides the extent of weight too

The exhaustion is a killer, I think this is my 5th day of better so it does improve albeit slowly. I got a 45 min walk in before I started work, I'm not going all out after yesterday's high steps. Yeah the pounds do a bit of masking, but the mirror doesn't hold back on the punches. Well we know what to do, now we just need to do. Happy scales thinks I've lost .4 this week so far, it's going the right way again.

Same to you happier, get well then back on the train

I have something that’s not +ve for Covid but is ghastly

Life l read somewhere today , that the Summer cold that is going about is probably Covid . It's just not being tested or taking a few days to be positive but it is Covid 😱
Not so glad you are on the mend ,the scales will topple 🤗
Happier hope you are feeling much better soon 💐
Em you will do it ☺️
All ok here ATM busy with the EP and everything else that is going on phew!

I’m assuming Covid as same symptom as ds. Christ it’s awful

Very likely is life, just gone beyond what a lft can detect. It's rampant at the moment. Rest all you can, it won't let you do much more.
Up early for a walk to shops, scales down .2 today, it's making me work hard to get under the 168! Two meal day, brunch & dinner. I'm relaxing for a bit. Beautiful day here😌

Got a strong positive test

Glad you are getting there Not 😊💐
Life hope you are feeling better very soon lovely 💐
Haven't done a lot today except clean bathroom and bedrooms. Early this morning before the heat . Am now reading a book upstairs and it's lovely 😃

At least you know (to a degree!) what you're dealing with life. Is this your first time too? It's an odd dose which I keep saying! I'm still coughing randomly like I've been smoking, real dry.
Having a lovely day, just acting a bit like we're on holidays. Tomorrow - Out for breakfast in the morning & late lunch in the afternoon. A bit of a staycation

Enjoy the book mrs, do share the name if you rate it
