6 weeks to Christmas
I'm making a promise to you guys to record my journey here, who's with me?

Got to 5 pm and ate a racer bar x 2
stress eating fml

I have fallen off the threads big time, been busy with Mum getting her ready for the Coronation celebrations. She has had a fabulous 4 days, Friday to the local bistro for afternoon tea, Saturday Coronation afternoon tea and watching the Coronation all day & night! Sunday they had a special trip to the local village hall for another afternoon tea and Monday a huge Afternoon tea for all the fogies in the town hosted by the Mayor ! Her cup runneth over lol
Gen so sorry re the Job but it figures , jobs for the boys
I think it's a brilliant idea you going to the PT again they were such an inspiration for you
Unescorted that cake is magnificent! No wonder you won ! Well done with the race too
Life FML too hey ho !
Happier excellent BMI well done!

Hi I’ve fallen off this thread too. PT sessions have been a bit sporadic due to him being ill, his mothers ongoing health issues, bank holidays, my work schedule, you name it!

But I am still improving week on week. PB in planking yesterday, 2 mins16. And I was introduced to ‘Billy the Beast’: a 20kg medicine ball. Initially I stuggled to even get it off the ground, but second set in and I was able to curl it up to chest level. Apparently I’ll be lifting it above my head within a couple of weeks.

Well done curls

ive not kicked my chocolate habit but have had no crisps this week and will get 4 gym visits in

I'm getting a tgtg bag from a polish bakery today but up to this I've been sticking to my main meals so I'm happy with that. Walking is sporadic though

curls I cannot eve imagine doing 20 kg.

life crisps are my down fall. I cannot have them in the house or I will inhale them.

My gym visits are paused this week. Mum fell over on Tuesday and has broken her hip. I have worked out I can go 14 hours of standing without food and water before I faint in a&e. I couldn't leave her to get anything because she was in the corridor and I wouldn't have been able to find her if they moved her again. They found me a cup of tea and a seat after I hit the deck.

Gosh I think tea is the least of what you deserve after that

I’m an egg on legs

Good morning all 😊
The sun is shining and omg what a difference it makes to me.
Unescorted l am so sorry to hear about your Mum's fall.l hope she is doing really well 💐
I would be eating the contents of the cupboard if it were me so well done for keeping it together 👏
Curls Wow 20 kgs l am very impressed well done 👍👏
Life l am the same re crisps so addictive 🤔
Happier that Polish TGTG bag sounds intriguing 😊
Gen hope you are doing well sweetheart 😊
Am not too bad here fingers crossed 😊
Have a smashing weekend everyone 😊

The sun is amazing... 5 loads of washing, bathroom, kitchen, food shop hospital visit and gym. A cloudy day and I would have just crawled out of bed.

@Unescorted hope you and your mum are doing ok now.

@TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans can’t beat a bit of sunshine, it makes everything seem better somehow!

Achy legs for a day or so after my encounter with Billy. But that’s a good thing.

Another health issue is I’ve managed to get an appointment followed by a referral for a varicose vein on my knee. My job involves getting up and down off my knees and it’s causing terrible pain. No idea how long the wait will be but I’m glad I was taken seriously and it will be dealt with eventually.

Was going good yesterday then fettled by le crackeur hazelnut, why!!???

reloaded mfp and will start tracking from tomorrow

Good morning everyone 🤗
Lovely day here hope it stays 😊
Unescorted well done on getting so much done 🤗
I agree with you re the sun making everything better. l have been much more active in the house it lifts our spirits so much 😁
Curls that's excellent you are getting referred for the Varicose vein . They ache like hell l can imagine it's painful for you love. 💐
Life well done on refocusing l think Mfp especially after a break will help keep on track .
I have been watching Chloe Phillips on You tube , she's so good , Slimming world based but she does a lot of cooking and shopping . I really like her 🤗
Have a great day everyone 😊

Been to the gym too

I didn't get to the gym today... But I did weeding and wielding the wire brush on the drill to de rust the BBQ. Surprisingly sweat inducing.

Mum is still in hospital so trying to find time is difficult.

just gotta do what you can to get through unescorted, any movement is better than none

Dance fit and PT session yesterday.

Beat last weeks planking PB, now at 2 mins 25. He’s set me a goal of 3 mins to achieve at my own pace. For saying I could barely manage 30 second at the start of the year, I’m happy!

Met with the Beast, aka the 20kg medicine ball. And managed to lift it to head height every rep.

Unescorted keep doing whatever you can
Life excellent going to the gym especially when you don't feel like it
Curls you are going great guns well done!
Trying here or at least thinking about trying

Never got to gym yesterday cos migraine
lots of walking being done though

Hope you are feeling much better today Life 💐
Hate migraines they make me feel like I am going to have a stroke 😱

It went off by the end of yesterday but ate junk again yesterday and the day before.
new day today

Braved the asod and boo
had a decent day yesterday with food and gym

Good morning everyone 😊
Had a good chat with my GP yesterday, reviewing my repeat medication and my blood tests , B/P , weight 🙄 , everything was fine but l couldn't believe l started to cry telling him about my Mum moving into the care home . Honestly l didn't realise how upsetting it was for me , despite it being her decision and her being so happy and the care home being absolutely wonderful and me realising Mum could never go home now because it's beyond my ability to care for her . The GP thought l was a bit down and told me to contact them if l get any worse. I don't think l am depressed it's just the circumstances and it honestly took me by surprise.
My weight , he told me to do it when l am ready . He was so kind to me bless him . Trouble is l am never going to be ready 🙄😊

life well done getting back to it lovely 👏👏👏

MrsEvans it's a massive change to your life & it's only natural you're upset.
Sounds like you've a good gp but he only saw you for a few minutes and only you know if it's affecting you

Mrs it has been a huge change I guess if it was your family home you are having to let that part of you go too.

I have accidentally lost another Kg or so.... I went out running today and then a walk to make my legs less broken. I am not sure if it has worked. I will lie on the sofa for a bit and maybe get a piggy back to bed in a bit.
