@PlaneMonkey I hope your neck is feeling better today. For me, starting/doing it now, instead of putting it off. No 'waiting until Monday' or 'just one more..'. I could find reasons to procrastinate indefinitely if I allowed myself to do so! As soon as I start seeing the number dropping on the scales my motivation is up…

PW 85 CW 86.5 I will be glad to give up chocolate again, I think. I started each day with good intentions but it hasn't taken long at all for those to fall by the wayside. I've also moved less, despite the weather being good, due to being busy at work. We tried a new recipe in the air fryer last night which was paprika…

@eggfreak the original 2019 nectarine grew a fruit, but it never got to a reasonable size and the tree was too young to fruit properly so it was unexpected anyway. The graft (nectarine) failed last year but the rootstock survived; luckily I had procrastinated on taking it to the tip and it was growing away in the dark. I…

@conleywoods I adore your hair; it looks so healthy <3 @planemonkey the boat sounds amazing, the WFH situation sounds rubbish! @ashleycarole86 we're going out tomorrow; an escape room in the Nottingham caves (yep, actual caves! If you're 6'3" or taller they give you a hard hat lol) then food at a good burger place.…

@MoonlitMuse I hope you find time to take care of yourself too, and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for your fiancé. I'm assuming the vaccinations were for the puppy so it should be fine! I did not get stir fry for tea yesterday because it was not ready before I had to leave for my physio appointment - had a pasta…

@jugar PW: 85.2 CW: 85kg A small loss, but it was higher (85.9!) during the week! Naughty DD265.

@ashleycarole86 @jugar thank you! It's the first time the buttercream has turned out well - normally it looks awful and I end up smoothing it with a knife. Borrowed a friends piping nozzle (bigger than mine) and it made all the difference. The glace ones are nice enough but not that much lower in calories, so I'll probably…

You should do some baking @jugar! I maybe don't relish the 3 hours it took to make 36 cupcakes (including time in the oven when I was washing up etc) but always enjoy the results! 24 pretty lemon drizzle cupcakes have gone into OH's work for his birthday. The 'rejects' have stayed home with me. :D I ate one yesterday,…

@ashleycarole86 @kathrynartis2271 I have to say I'm tempted by a soda stream. I will do some maths though. I haven't had this for years but used to enjoy fizzy peach water a lot - and I'm still rather partial to a peach schnapps and lemonade so would probably still like it. In terms of the schedule, still getting used to…

@ashleycarole86 OH's working 3pm-12am today, then 3pm-3am tomorrow so he'll be tired and we won't have time for too much in between him sleeping. I've suggested we'll have a cooked breakfast for lunch, and I guess we'll need to run a few errands, then we're going out for tea on Tuesday which was the first 'good' day for…

On it @jugar - went for a run before work this morning. Was better than Monday's; still a bit breathless but not as bad so reckon I'll be fighting fit next week. My friends are doing a Park Run on Saturday morning, but it's OH's birthday and he's at work in the afternoon so I'm giving it a miss. I'll do it one day - that…

Today has been off to a traumatic start. OH went to work early. As I was coming back up the stairs to start work, there was a spider - big, maybe walnut sized but long spindly legs and a small body. I suspect it wouldn't really class as big, but I am arachnophobic. It started climbing the wall and if it made it to the…

Hi all, I'm Katie, 34 living near Nottingham, UK, with my husband (OH) and our two cats. OH joined the police force late last year, and last week was his first time on his shift pattern. He works 2 earlies (7am-4pm), 2 lates (3pm-12am/1am/3am depending on the day) and 2 nights (10pm-7am) then has 4 rest days. I work 8.30-5…

@jugar PW: 83.9 CW: 85.2 A lot of stress-eating took place last week.

Hurrah it's Friday! Also April Fools Day - have any of you been pranked, or played a prank yourselves? We don't partake thankfully. I always get a message from Dad on the 1st of the month with 'pinch punch first of the month' etc - not fair as he's 4 (sometimes 5) hours ahead of us being in Dubai! I got a good night's…

Hang in there @conleywoods and @micki48 you are both so close to a rest! I had such a hungry day yesterday, I couldn't stop eating. Combination of being under the weather and an early start methinks, then chuck in a bit of emotional eating and it was a recipe for disaster! I'm not trying for perfection on intake today, but…
-
@ashleycarole86 I'm glad his shifts have finally started so we can make our last routine adjustments for a while. Definitely going to take some getting used to though! I do want to find some dishes I can cook fresh that are good for one person - either because they aren't expensive to cook in small batches, or because they…

PW: 83.2kg CW: 83.9kg We ate out A LOT this last week due to having things on and family visits. Ended up getting pizzas yesterday lunch (Mothers Day in the UK) but I don't eat cheese, so I was having chicken strips. The takeaway don't do anything green (unless it's on a pizza!) so we stopped at a service station on the…

We ended up at McDonalds last night! I didn't get a McFlurry though - I wanted one, but decided it was too much like 'chocolate' that I've given up. The Creme Egg one will still be around at Easter and even if it isn't, I have 48 Creme Eggs in the kitchen. :D Slight gain today but I didn't drink as much as I should've…
-
Apologies for double posting - I put the stats in quickly before going out and it's too late to edit now. We haven't air fryer-ed vegetables either - usually just chips, or a chicken dish, and OH tried battered fish once but that didn't end well! Side dishes are definitely a struggle for us, which is why I think we so…

@micki48 that's great news about your sister - fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. I hope your move is going well! @jugar I never go looking at the results. I like to see who's doing particularly well in our team, but don't particularly care about the people I don't 'know'. I used to try and take part in the challenges…

@jugar have a lovely trip! @conleywoods I feel you on the late night snacking. It is a habit I am determined to break and I'm going to take advantage of my husband not being around many evenings eating on the sofa to do that because like you, I find it much harder to avoid when he's snacking. @PlaneMonkey sorry about your…

Hi all, happy hump day :smile: I got home yesterday and am trying to get back into the swing of things. I did get on the scales this morning and I might be at my highest weight so far this year. Was a little surprised and hopeful that a big chunk of it is water retention as I didn't think I'd eaten too badly overall. Today…

I'm Katie, I live in the UK with my husband and our two cats. Like many others, our main meals are usually cooked from scratch and reasonably healthy, balanced and varied, but side dishes and snacks are my downfall. I'm the unfortunate combination of an emotional eater and a chocoholic! Currently going through a very busy,…
