Hope the legs are still on this morning

ive has a decent weekend, lost a couple lb bloat, now to do it properly

Happierwithouthim · 22/05/2023 11:55

I was super busy all weekend so food kind of got forgotten about, my clothes are fitting better, it'll be next Saturday before I weigh again.

I think I need to start tracking in mfp, my eating is fairly disordered.

Hit another PB with my planking yesterday, 2 mins 40! My ultimate goal is 3 mins, something I never thought I’d achieve.

I’ve also gone up to 10kg dumbells for some exercises. Aching a bit today!

I had a bit of ice cream and a chipper tea but otherwise ok. Long day of caring duties so. Only 10k steps at a very slow pace
Did. Weights thought

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 27/05/2023 11:50

Good morning everyone 🌞
Hope it's lovely weather where you are 🤗
Am doing ok 6th day today , it's harder starting than continuing after a few days, feeling less bloated thankfully 🤗
Hope things pick up for you life it's hard caring it just cuts into your motivation l find 💐
Happier tell me about it, the crew l worked with were really young skinny little things and could eat everything and did lol
Curls you are right keep our heads above water and keep going it will come right 🤗

happier my DH is like this - he doesn’t mean to be unsupportive, he is just a feeder and shows love through offering food but it is driving me absolutely mad. I lost it last week and ended up shouting at him and he was so hurt, I felt awful. But it is so boring constantly saying “no, no,no”

I still haven’t gotten into an exercise routine - can’t believe we are in late May and I basically haven’t darkened the door of the gym 😂

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 27/05/2023 16:06

Gen so lovely to see you 🤗
My DH just came in with 2 bags of Pork Scratchings and offered me one 😁
What are they like? 😂

Gensola · 27/05/2023 17:01

mrs my DH would be the same 🙄 and he offers you cheese on everything!

Happierwithouthim · 27/05/2023 22:24

Luckily bf is not like this, he knows I want this weight gone.

Gen & Mrs... Good to see you.

I have no worries about DH offering food.... of an edible standard at least.

I have been making good use of the weather... Walking in the Peaks (Saturday) and Lakes (today) and a trip to the gym yesterday.

Ooo pink Hawthorn!
Lovely walking weather

I've hurt my toe so forwent the gym and we went to brimham rocks instead

Unescorted · 03/06/2023 08:28

I have broken myself. I added another 2.5kg to my weights, upped the resistance on the cross machine and went running on the non gym days. My arms and legs are feeling it.

Ah bless him he's a darling ❤️
We are so lucky Gen
Even if they do put temptation in our way 🤣

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 03/06/2023 09:04

life hope your toe is recovering however Brimham Rocks sounds so much nicer than the Gym 😊👏👏

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 03/06/2023 09:05

Unescorted beautiful Hawthorn ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You sound in a great place exercise wise am really pleased for you 😊

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 03/06/2023 09:08

Happier you are lucky yours doesn't temp you , l think mine feels sorry for me when l am struggling and it makes him try to make it better for me but of course it does not bless him !
Been ok here thankfully, struggling not to binge on times but am controlling it , l know this difficult part will get easier as time goes on 😊
Have a smashing weekend everyone 😊

lifelongfrugaleer · 03/06/2023 09:14

Toe is feeling ok not been to the gym all week though
Typing from the treadmill

Dh is very supportive though he thinks I'm mad wanting to lose weight again

Ouch unescorted, good pain though

Happierwithouthim · 03/06/2023 11:04

Hey everyone I've not been posting much.
My monthly weigh in showed that I lost half a lb.
Today I put on my denim shorts, not worn since last year and they're really baggy. I may buy a size down for my holidays at end of the month. Today they'll do and tomorrow I'll put a belt on with them.
