The sofa won as did snacks but feeling far less tired this morning,
mucking out is my excercise today

Unescorted · 24/01/2023 10:02

I need to relocate my mojo.... I don't know why it is mentally harder than when I started. I don't know if I can recalibrate and have today as my first day again....bor I just have to keep going and get through this.

Happierwithouthim · 24/01/2023 11:53

Because motivation is low now you need discipline to keep you going. Your Easter Egg is so close, keep strong.

I didn't weigh this morning, feeling a bit bunged up so will wait for tomorrow morning.

I walked away from the apple pie that the boys left out this morning. I can do this. Easter eggs here I come.

lifelongfrugaleer · 24/01/2023 20:29

I walked too and from work and mucked out but food was a bit roper

Unescorted · 24/01/2023 20:47

I have resisted the apple pie all day... And now it is looking past its best.

The gym was really busy with people leaning on machines they weren't using. I did a mainly cardio and free weight session.

Dinner may have involved chips....

Happierwithouthim · 25/01/2023 09:15

Deep fried or oven/airfried? Wink
I weighed this morning and seem to have stayed the same it's taken ages to break through this stone barrier!

A nice walk with my bestie yesterday evening and didn't get dinner until 9:30 a fit food ready meal totally 422kcals which I ate only 75% off because the label said korma but it was just a mediocre curry.

Proper fat fried ones.
Weirdly I lost the porky piggy weight of the other day.

Keto sounds really hard... Each time I have a gym wobble I remind myself of the alternatives.

Today was a rest day.

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 25/01/2023 21:22

Very wise Unescorted apparently there are nasty side effects
bad breath, fatigue, constipation to name but a few l am not looking forward to next week lol

Unescorted · 25/01/2023 21:52

That sounds grim.

lifelongfrugaleer · 26/01/2023 09:13

keto does sound grim, and all that meat can’t be frugal

i canceled gym yesterday as feeling groggy, Will go today,
and sort out my eating

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 26/01/2023 16:36

lifelongfrugaleer · 26/01/2023 17:23

Oh God yes it's such a horrible time of year Life 💐

Unescorted · 27/01/2023 09:07

I can't wait for spring. It is so hard to find motivation.

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 27/01/2023 11:21

It's really hard Unescorted l just can't wait for the longer days.

Happierwithouthim · 28/01/2023 07:18

Great, I can live with that happier

in going to go to the gym today, spur of the moment decision

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 28/01/2023 09:13

I have noticed, the older l am getting, the more the shorter days and cold dreary weather bother me 🙄
I have just started taking St Johns Wort daily. I honestly feel like going on holiday for the whole of January and February, to somewhere warm and sunny after new Year here would be so nice .

Unescorted · 28/01/2023 16:25

Happier that is fabulous news.

Life nice one. I hope you enjoyed it and there weren't too many machine hogs.

I went for a run today... The first over the fells for a very long time. I had forgotten how lovely it feels to get to the top of the hill. There were quite a few people out who thought they were being polite by holding the gates..... Not realising that they are essential for the slower fell runner to catch their breath while fumbling longer than necessary with the catch. I was quite pleased with myself... Although my legs are properly tired and I ran lopsided so my knee, hip and bum are a bit tight.

Unescorted · 28/01/2023 16:27

Mrs I promise to visit you in your winter sun villa 😎
