Yesterday I did considerably better than the other days. I was still over but only by about 40ish calories rather than 200. Couldn't figure out why it was so hard to meet the goals so I checked my diary. Cheese is an issue 😂 and also the wrap that I have for lunches is 190 calories by itself, with no filling. So I'm gonna…

Glad to see you back! And you don't have to apologise for not being here. Feel like I'm the queen of disappearing and coming back I've done it that many times! 😂 Like you say, life gets busy and it can get busy quick! I also feel the same as you, feel like I'm stuck at this "forever weight" ive been around 170lb for the…

Oh and I failed my goals today. The plan was to eat well today and instead I made chocolate muffins. There's always tomorrow. But I need to start logging the good bad and ugly. Not just the good. If I don't... Someone tell me off. Anyone tell me off 😂

Yes it did thanks! Well at least I think it did. I couldn't go in with her for any part of it. Not even the practice tests. The odd thing about the test is that there's no right or wrong in the test. She said she had to wear a camera on her head and click a button every time 3 circles appeared on the screen. Incredibly…

I was meant to log yesterday and start again but I completely forgot! So I'm gonna try again today. It annoys me because I feel like I'm out of sync with the weeks but I just need to put my big girl pants on and stop being weird about it. It doesn't matter. Lol I cant wait til next wednesday again Marley's currently taking…

We are out own worst critics!! Honestly, that looks good. I tried making socks once (when babies were young) I showed ash and he said it looked like it was for something much ruder 😂😂😂 so keep going! Also with the patterns and reading the "codes" that comes when you learn the stitches. So if you were to read a pattern now,…

@mytime6630 yep gloomy here too. Not as cold now but just.. grey Does Trump come in to presidency today? I'm wondering what he's gonna say about TikTok despite it being banned yesterday in the US. I miss the content!

I just started with the basics "granny square" I used a YouTube video and if I remember correctly.. she was called Bella Coco or something I might be completely wrong 😂 I remember finding her videos easy to follow. Involves a lot of pausing and rewinding but it just takes time. So you start a project and it's like oh I…

Not been doing so great! Food is rubbish, not been gym. Yesterday I was really feverish, couldn't warm up and my skin was so sensitive my clothes were hurting it. That sounds bizarre but the only way I could explain it. Don't feel much better today but meant to be starting back at the gym tomorrow and I just ain't feeling…

Not logged for 2 maybe 3 days! Really annoyed at that. And I can't even remember when my new week started! Can't remember if that's today or yesterday?! Saskias birthday weekend just wiped me out. And then even since that we've been really busy only to have her friend sleep over again last night because I'm taking her out…

Hey everyone One of my goals this year, was to start my process for an ADHD diagnosis. I've not done anything about it for 2 years since I first suspected and I've done alot of research in that time. I then put it off because Marley is going through her diagnosis process and I wanted to make sure she was sorted out first.…

This has been one hell of a week! And I don't think I can rectify the calorie situation at this point! Thankfully Ash stopped me snacking again last night. I had one bar and asked him to to pass me another and he said maybe I shouldnt and to think of my calories. He said he won't stop me if I really want it but he said…

Thanks for your advice. I think next time I will be telling her off in front of friends. I always end up feeling guilty though and Ash says I shouldnt be! We went to visit his mum again today and she was looking much much better today, which was a relief and she's hopefully going to be out the hosp again soon :)

Yesterday was another disastrous day. It was Saskias birthday so there was pizzas and cake and snacks. But I don't think I've gone so far where I can't correct it later in the week. It will be hard work for the rest of the week but I think I can manage it. Damage limitation lol! I dunno what it is about when my kids have…

I only heard about the fires late last night. Scary stuff! Ash's mum was rushed to Christie's Hospital again. They were messing with her medicines too much and ended up nearly killing her. They described it as "being unresponsive" but we all know she basically died and got resuscitated. But she's still here with us.…

😂😂 I don't know how I get through life sometimes. That's such a simple solution 😂

Ran or iceskated? 😂 I wouldn't dare run with the ice we have lol! We're UK so we have about 2cm of snow that's now ice!

The weather here is rubbish. It's been snowing the last few days. Now don't get me wrong, I know it's nothing compared to snow in the USA. But its very icy too! It snows like 1cm then freezes it No good for the kids. No good for snow balls. No good for a snowman. No good for sledging. All it's actually doing is freezing my…

Made a mistake on my earlier post 😂 I didn't eat over by 23 calories. I added up two different things LOL On the days I over ate it was actually around 95.

Oh also now with it being a new week. My "banked" calories from last week get written off. I start at 0 again for the new week! Had to take a day off the gym, totally TMI for me to share why 😂 but I'm gonna go get myself sorted out today and then ice got the dentist soon :(

Hey all, so I have successfully completed my first week! Ive had a very good first week. Which is how it usually starts and then goes downhill! But hopefully I can just keep going this time! I was within my deficit most days. The only days I had eaten over only adds up to 23 calories 😂 but i managed to "bank" around 1000!…

I've had such a busy day. I'm shattered. Kids were back at school (woohoo!) and we went straight to the gym. Did biceps and triceps today. And then 30 mins on treadmill. Buzzing because I hit a PB and managed to do the whole 30 minutes on an incline of 12. Usually I have to drop to 10 incline at around the 20 minute mark.…

Glad to hear it..Congrats on completing all Sundays goals too!

Congratulations! That's amazing! But you wouldn't have let me down!! What you've actually done is not let YOURSELF down! You did it all by yourself, for yourself :)

I have so many calories left today, that I could have that ice-cream if I wanted to 😂😂 but I think I'll opt for something else again. Have some more chocolate maybe? 😂 Took the kids swimming today too, don't really do much "swimming". But today the lifeguard wasn't an A-hole and let us borrow some pool noodles! So once…

😂😂 Tell me about it! He doesn't do it alot but he has a completely different diet to me. He needs to gain weight to build muscle so he needs to take in alot of calories. He's like the ultimate test 😂 can say no to him I can say no to anything!

Make sure you do! Honestly I know it would be really really really nice to have the wine with the pizza. And if your calories only allow one glass, have the one glass!! I've realised to continue I need to enjoy things, but it needs to fit. That's the rule of CICO. And the feeling of being proud of myself today is so much…

I forgot to mention, I think what got me through was not thinking how I felt in that moment. But how I would feel afterwards. And it's not always you can catch yourself in the decision-making part of your brain. Most things we do "mindlessly". But this time I did and it worked out!

I am SO proud of myself! Last night was hard! Lunch got skipped altogether yesterday and thank GOD because when we went to the shops to get dinner it was southern fried breaded chicken and oven chips! If I had had lunch, I would have definitely been over. So that took a hefty part of my calories.at dinner time. Ash also…

2nd day of logging went well! Still within my calories. I have "banked" around 400 calories so far but I don't intend to use them. Struggling with lunch today as we don't have much in, we need to go to the shops but Ash isn't going until later and he doesn't know what he's getting for dinner yet. So it's hard to plan my…
