I’m feeling better yes just very tired
12300 today just wandering round but lots of food too

Not2bObvious · 28/07/2022 19:30

That's good life, thanks for the update on happier. Hope you're having fun, not surprised you're tired with high steps the last couple of days.
I'm doing ok mrs, got a drop down of 1.8 today so into the 169'ish territory. Ate my full 1800 today for the first time this week, to console myself for not having a Thursday wine treat! No visitors, so no excuse.

My hips are hurting from the walking now fgs
tired but feeling better each day. I’m going to try exercise next week

Venue have just said it will be fine so I guess we have to believe them! I’m having a bit of a shit time - went to ENT specialist to see about having my tonsils out as I keep getting unwell with them and he’s referred me for surgery asap as he’s worried that one is larger than the other and could be cancerous. He wants to remove it and send it for analysis. He initially wanted me in right away but when I said about the wedding he said immediately after it then. Trying not to panic.

Not2bObvious · 29/07/2022 13:00

I know it's pointless to say don't worry but I believe the ENT would say get it done now if it was a definite rather than a concern. And I believe you would get it done as well if you were getting those vibes from him. No borrowing trouble from tomorrow, take it that he's ok with the wait that this is most definitely precautionary.
But I'm soo sorry you're dealing with this, my heart goes out to you❤️

Oh my word gen it’s just one thing after another at the minute

ok: if ent wanted you now, now I’m sure they wouldn’t wait. And C is only a possibility but I get hearing that zones every thing else out

If the venue say they will be ok, get that on an email and see if rellies can still get there, see what tomorrow’s strike impacts like

lifelongfrugaleer · 29/07/2022 15:10

And most importantly do what you can control which is health and fitness .

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 29/07/2022 15:14

Oh Gen bless you sweetheart you can do without all this worry now !
So hope the wedding and the surgery go really well for you and you are well and happy with your day Flowers

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 29/07/2022 15:16

Life hope your hips are feeling better lovely Flowers
Not that is absolutely great well done ! You must be so pleased !!
Am fine here just watching the Games it's brilliant! Smile

Back to 170 but I feel like I've lost weight iykwim, my face looks thinner. Now I just need the SOD to comply. I suppose the time passes regardless & I am taking the right steps to progress. I've eaten a decent amount of fruit & veg this week, I've kept my water intake high, I've reduced alcohol, did 3 x weights, 3 x jogs, daily walking. I'm having family over tomorrow for an indulgent lunch so I'll be aiming for another day on cals today so I can relax a bit tomorrow. Bloody non stop rain forecast, boo! Treadmill later on.
Anyone got anything fun planned?

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 30/07/2022 09:16

Not that is amazing that you feel like you are on the right track l am sure you are 👏👏👏
Nothing planned today except my nephew and his boyfriend are coming for afternoon tea, hopefully in the garden but l have to be honest and say he rain isn't far away so l am not holding my breath. I also have to be honest and say the cakes may be a step too far for me to resist today but l will try my best 😱
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

lifelongfrugaleer · 30/07/2022 09:18

Raining here too. No exercise plans just pootling
i bet you have lost weight and asod is just messing with you

Not2bObvious · 30/07/2022 10:30

Eat the cake mrs, life's too short to not have indulgences from time to time.
Thanks life, it's so slow to turn the trend these days. But I'm trying to be a bit more consistent, hoping it'll pay off. It's such a grind though.

Gensola · 30/07/2022 11:03

Thanks everyone, trying my best to forget about it until the surgery date, waiting to hear but looks like last week Aug or first few days of Sept basically, and not my mum actually said the same as you that he wouldn’t wait until after the wedding if he was really worried so hopefully he is just being cautious and I’ll get the all clear.
weight stubbornly 132, need to get back to 128 as dress doesn’t zip atm. Have ordered Spanx.
we are visiting friends in Surrey today for lunch and London tomorrow for lunch so hoping I can stay on track despite that! Then it’s our actual 2nd wedding anniversary on Monday so we are out for dinner. 😂 I didn’t think this through did I …

Not2bObvious · 30/07/2022 12:26

Keep off the scales & just focus on good habits coming up to the party. Maybe focussing on this will distract you a bit from the other worry Flowers
The difference between the dress not fitting now is probably just a bit of bloat. I find if I feel bigger I don't adjust myself properly in clothes iykwim - and I feel huge when the scales upsets me.
I bought a pair of jeans when away after Christmas and we were eating like loons, convinced they didn't fit, got myself in a huff halfway through trying them. Cooled down, calmed down and tried again, yeah they were a tad snug but they fit.
Happy second anniversary as well!

Gen l am sure you are going to be just fine l am sending you so many positive vibes for the dress and your tonsils ❤️🤗

Not2bObvious · 31/07/2022 12:53

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend. Just getting ready for lunch guests. Instead of white knuckling it from breakfast at 8.30 to late lunch, I've had a decent snack at 12.30 so with luck that'll prevent a food frenzy. Got a body pump and c25k in as well this morning. Scales down a shade into the 169'ish territory, I expect a jump tomorrow with takeaway food today but I'm ok with that (at this point at least!)

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 31/07/2022 14:19

Well done on the steps and pumping Not have a lovely time and enjoy lunch 🤗

Waves to everyone 👋

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/08/2022 08:44

Monday 1 august I feel like I should be starting again,

Not2bObvious · 01/08/2022 15:15

Could have swore I posted earlier but mustn't have 🤷‍♀️ Scales up 2.6 on Friday, that's good enough. Massive improvement on last Monday but it'll probably take another week to get firmly out of the 170's.
Nice fresh month to sink our teeth into

OP posts:
TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 01/08/2022 15:18

Afternoon everyone 😊

Life l know the feeling it's pinch punch first of the month feeling 😊
Been busy till now all washing drying and ironing done thank God 🙏 😊

Not2bObvious · 02/08/2022 14:07

Another 2.2 up from yesterday, that's not quite what I was hoping to see. Anyway, such is life. Got my bodypump done & my jog/walk. 6,000 steps done, I'll try drag myself out later for 30 mins to get closer to 10,000.

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 02/08/2022 17:34
