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…

Okay here we go again! Thanks to @mytime6630 for posting the new thread! I can say I officially logged my calories yesterday AND was within my goals! So day 1 completed. There's a few things I want to achieve this year. Along with the typical healthy eating and exercise - I want to improve my calisthenics. If I can master…

That's lovely! Women really do make a house a home 😉! It looks super cosy!

I saw your last post on the 2024 thread. And oh my goodness! How big is she now!! Just as mental as me saying Casey's gonna be 7 at the end of Feb 😱

☃️🎁🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁☃️ Hope you all had a good one! I completely stuffed my face 😂 pressed the "F it, it's Christmas" button 😂 We all had a good time, shared nice gifts AND all the kids were happy with what they got! Which is my biggest win, I always worry that they won't be happy with that they have got, which I know is…

Hey all! Hope everyone's set for Christmas. I'm nearly there. Got my turkey out to defrost. That's like number one thing I did 😅 Still got a fair few presents to wrap but just about got the house tidy. Soon as I've had lunch (which is now) and done the kids lunch I'm gonna get started on wrapping up the last gifts! Nothing…

Oh my god I have not been logging. I've been SO busy. Every time I think I have a free "slot" in the day, something else just takes it up! So not making the wisest of choices but I haven't got that much unhealthy stuff in the house so hopefully as long as I keep the quantity down I might just get away with it! But I put it…

She's adorable! Glad she's on the mend! Bet she'll be glad when that cones off! X

Eugh I've had one hell of a weekend. Has anyone else noticed that any time I make a post that I'm "back on track" literally something knocks me off course again. I can almost guarantee that by day 4 something's gone wrong. And 8 times out of 10 it's my period 😂 but THIS time my period was 2 weeks late!! And still it F*©ks…

@PackerFanInGB Yes hand is much better. I use it as I normally would now, little finger doesn't always wanna do what I want though. It no longer flexes upwards. That will take time and work! I went swimming the other day and my little finger just had zero strength LOL so I'm gonna take an extra bobble next time and just…

Thank you for all the well wishes for Ash's mum ! I appreciate that! @mytime6630 Sorry to hear your daughter. I must say, whilst I was sat in the hospital with my broken hand, I was so relieved it wasn't my foot! Can imagine that's alot harder to deal with! Feel like everyone's getting injured at the minute 😂 As for the…

No you were right, she had that too. She started with breast cancer (this was before I met Ash so she had finished treatment and was on tamoxifen) Then she had skin cancer, they got rid of that, then they found the bone cancer and thyroid cancer. Also more bad news, the operation has been cancelled. I thought postponed but…

Vitamin D, the stronger ones!

@PackerFanInGB we didn't know it was a possibility either! This has been going on since COVID because she found out she had bone cancer around then, but they said it's a secondary cancer so they need to find the first. The first turned out to be thyroid cancer so she had that removed in 2020. And only in the last few…
