Looking forward to eating better food today l need to stop leaning on junk beige food and eat more fruit and veg . It's a work in progress ☺️
Have a lovely day everyone it's going to be scorchio today !!!

lifelongfrugaleer · 09/08/2022 08:03

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 09/08/2022 08:10

Well done Life re the steps that's excellent in this heat
🙂👏👏
I struggle to just exist in this tbh 😂
Yes to more water. l need to keep it up too , at least 2.5lyts for me today 🤗

Gensola · 09/08/2022 08:48

Well done happier
life I only Managed 12,500 but we had to drive 1.5 hours each way to meet our celebrant so it was a sedentary day.
mrs well done on water intake, I always revert to beige food when I’m busy or stressed because it’s what’s I was brought up on even though I do actually like most fruit and veg and love salads etc. It’s unconscious though, when my little bro died or when I failed IVF I just immediately wanted carbs.

good day finally yesterday - chicken salad lunch, lots of water and coffee, vege curry tea. Treat was a Vodka tonic and bowl of berries after tea. No other snacks! hoping to replicate this for the rest of the week 😄
Maybe without the vodka 😇

lifelongfrugaleer · 09/08/2022 10:38

I tend to cheap carbs as that’s what I was brought up on as well

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 09/08/2022 18:40

Gen that is great you went to see your celebrant oh it won't be long now Smile
Great days food intake too Smile
Re the cheap carbs Life , they are so damn easy to swallow , l love salads and veg and fruit too but it's almost like it just doesn't give us the same satisfaction Hmm

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 10/08/2022 14:11

Afternoon everyone Smile
Just wondering how everyone is getting on ?

Am keeping busy with getting my Dd2 birthday presents and cards ready for Saturday trying to keep off the food today !

I’m doing well thanks mrs have lost 2 pounds since really cracking down on my food, 3 to go to get back to pre holiday weight. Had a fitting with the dressmaker today and the dress was defo less excruciatingly tight!

Dinner this eve is air fryer baked chicken with quinoa, chard and goats cheese salad.

hi guys

what can I do to get myself out of this malaise and back on the wagon ?

Gensola · 11/08/2022 21:33

life it’s hard especially in this heat. I recommend the book healthy as f*ck by Oonagh Duncan - I have it as an audio book and I’ve listened to it twice, it’s hilarious and very motivating.
had an ok day but did have some wine - anniversary of my little brother’s death.

lifelongfrugaleer · 12/08/2022 08:00

Oh Gen that’s come round quick, big hug sweetheart
