Happy Boxing day everyone 😊
Unescorted Baklava needs banning by the calorie police lol 😂

Unescorted · 26/12/2022 11:05

So true. I think cheese also needs to be on their watch list too.

Changed plans DD is being taken by her father... I get to go to the gym after all

Yesterdays food included sourdough with bacon fried egg and avocado courtesy of bf, I made this at his a few weeks ago and he recreated it perfectly!
Lunch was a brioche bun with Christmas ham tomatoes & some gorgeous cheese I got from a local cheesemonger. I bought a quarter round of cheddar & quarter round of Parmesan type for €50.
Dinner was half a turkey & Aldi vintage cheddar sandwich
Snacks can of monster & nature valley bar.
Also got out for a beach walk
How's everyone doing?

I had Christmas round 2 yesterday and lots of cheese and ice cream

im doing badly tbh and probably won’t get better until Saturday as gym is only open office hours. I will do better with food and carry on walking doggo

Unescorted · 27/12/2022 08:58

Remarkably well.... I went to the gym yesterday and a run this morning. Kept a tight rein on the leftovers. Stuffing balls were my downfall but I was in competition with DS for them so only managed 3.
The stretch out Christmas dinner seemed to work.... I have lost weight. Now down to 78.4kg. Only 3.5kg to the guilt free Easter Egg. I might give myself a stretch target of 70kg.

I am also enjoying running again so that is going to be my easy win.... Run on non gym days.

My other new years resolution is going to be take more care with my friendships.... I do not have to wait until I am invited because I can do the inviting.

lifelongfrugaleer · 27/12/2022 09:01

Well done unescorted it’s great you are in the zone.
I will get my ass in gear but it’s been a rough couple of months mh wise so I need to be kind to me.
I’m booked in for a 12 week plan thing on 7 Jan so that’s get serious day.
im going for fit and healthy and if the weight moves then brilliant

Unescorted · 27/12/2022 10:15

The fit and healthy is the biggest win for me. I am much more up beat - I have given myself permission to take time for me and it shows. My friends were saying I have my spark back... I hadn't realised that it was missing.

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 27/12/2022 10:23

Well done Unescorted 🤗
I am afraid l have overindulged and had chronic heartburn , acid reflux and indigestion yesterday . The bloat is horrible. Serves me right 🙄
Feel like just sticking a pin in my abdomen and letting it all out 😂😂😂
Hope everyone is enjoying theirselves ❤️🤗

Happy new year

under 200 though!

I’ve not weighed today. Tomorrow
no gym but cleared up around the yard and mucked out

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 01/01/2023 16:40

Happy New Year everyone Smile
Happier that's amazing well done Smile
Life that's more than enough for New Years day Smile
eating like it's going out of fashion here Hmm
Once it's gone it's gone and the sooner the better lol Grin

Unescorted · 01/01/2023 19:05

Happy new year ... Hope we all have a lighter and brighter one.

Mucking out is serious exercise life.
Mrs eat it quick. Like pulling off a plaster.

I went gyming, walking and running over the last few days. I am going to get to my Easter Egg by hook or crook. One thing I have noticed is that if I work my pecs my boobies don't point at my toes so much. 😂

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/01/2023 07:45

139.5 😭🙁

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 02/01/2023 10:09

Am eating it quickly as advised Unescorted 🤣

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 02/01/2023 10:11

life it's bloat , it will come off as quick as it went on 💐
Hope Not is doing great 😊

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/01/2023 12:12

Did the hours attack this morning, walk dog in a bit and giving myself 1700 calories for a bit, we have treated left but they will be counted

Happierwithouthim · 02/01/2023 14:31

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/01/2023 07:45

Yep delighted to be under 200lbs.
Just heading into Aldi & getting some ingredients for boredoflunch recipes

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/01/2023 15:48

About 10lb yes

I’m chuffed for you as I know that’s a big mental thing for you

15k steps done so far, guesser lunch but still got 6-800 calls to go and spag bil for tea, saves room for cheesecake

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/01/2023 21:15

Had 1600 tracked calories today so about right with guessing

lifelongfrugaleer · 03/01/2023 06:10

It’s going to be a chilly walk to work today
138.3

Happierwithouthim · 03/01/2023 06:38

Easter is about 12 weeks away, could that be your goal as well as unescorted

When I'm 12st something so maybe 180lbs or maybe 170lbs I'm going back running, I've the runners bought already Smile

After ahem an episode of d I saw 14st 2.5lbs on the scales so I'll see it for real in the next week or so I guess

lifelongfrugaleer · 03/01/2023 07:16

12 weeks you say , that’s a good goal

wasn’t that cold walking in
