It's hard. Very hard to stick to it. I'm also like that, sometimes I'm really focused and doing the right things then I just give up, but for me it's not giving up consciously I just end up slipping back into the bad habits again so easily. But I had to realise that no ones coming. No ones coming to help me do it, no one's…

Despite the awful day yesterday. I'm more determined than ever to lose weight. The 10lb i gained from the last challenge, I don't think is just from muscle. I mean realistically that's a huge amount of muscle to put on, so I knew some of it would be that and the rest would be me putting weight on. I told the biscuits in…

Hey guys! I went clothes shopping today. It was an awful experience. I started in good spirits. Grabbed some dresses to start with as I knew I'd have to try dresses on whereas most pants/tops I can just grab my size. Went to try them on to get that part out the way so I could just grab the rest, pay and go. But seeing my…

I'm really bad with biscuits at the minute. Can't stop eating the stupid things lol (Cookies if youre from the US) Apparently biscuits are a very different thing over there 😂

I've dropped a dress size. I feel smaller. I still have alot of chub don't get me wrong. His answer was I've built muscle. Every…

@mytime6630 yes I'm in for another 5lb challenge. Will get my final weight and new starting weight on Wednesday, Wednesday's the 1st right? Is it me or is this year going so fast?

My god yesterday went awfully. No matter what way I tried it, it just wasn't going to fit into calories. But enchilada night is always a tricky one to keep low! But because I messed up I figured I might aswell get all the snacks out the way LOL probs not the best idea but now today I can plan my meals a bit better for the…

Okay so I did really well yesterday. I DID allow myself some snacks. Which I know I said I wouldn't do. But by the end of the day I have around 1000 calories left over and I had about 500 calories left of my daily amount of just food. My diary also only logged all my walking calories. I can't measure my exercise ones so I…

Well I've had enough again. Too many biscuits, all the time. Yesterday we had another blow out and we bought 2 packs of donuts, a share chocolate bar and a pack of smarties. I think I had 2 do it's yesterday, ash had 3. And we both woke up feeling like rubbish. So we got up today, done and exercise which neither of us were…

@mytime6630 Wanted to reply about your neighbour. I think it's great you can both do that! And I do kind of agree with you that she is eating too little and that isn't healthy. But I can sense from your post it's made you wonder alot about your diet and what you're doing. Don't compare yourself!! Remember everyones journey…

This is the Kniphofia Apparently also called a "Red Hot Poker" after I Googled it for the image!

@littleblackskirt Ooo you're testing me now haha The ones I know off the top of my head is, Hydrangea, Euonymous, Hebe, Red Robin, Lupins, Vinca Minor and a Cupressus Goldcrest which is the tree in back right corner. The ones I've had to check the labels for are Virburnum and Kniphofia and I think the Kniphofia is going to…

A Euonymous, Red Robin, Hydrangea, Vinca Minor, Lupins, Hebe, Cupressus Goldcrest and Thank you!! I checked them out.. very interesting. I can see though where you have to keep looking, as I'm sure their inventory changes. Have you ever tried "Temu". I have a friend who buys from them.. super super cheap! As in, blouses…

@pridesabtch We've been gardening too! Fortunately we didn't have to do any deweeding this year as last year we completely turned over the whole garden and killed anything off just to grow our grass (which has now also half gone due to the weather/flooding/dog etc) I know nothing about plants 😂 but I know we just planted a…

Logging didn't go great yesterday I know there's stuff I've forgotten but we were decorating yesterday and the difference is amazing! We wallpapered yesterday and today we're painting! I also did an exercise yesterday but I have no idea how many calories that burns at the minute. Could really do with investing in a new…

Sounds like my dog 😂 he will literally try steal a biscuit from the girls hands if he gets the chance And the second your backs turned he walks to the kitchen to hunt for scraps. And the same with the sofa. I have to put a goddamn side table on the sofa so he doesn't get on it. And the second its not on the sofa he gets on…
-
I'm gonna start logging again I think. Feel like I did much better when I was logging and also had more guilt when I was logging. Which sounds bad but guilt keeps me on track 😂 I'm literally eating what I want with no Fs given! So I'm gonna try log today and see how I get on!

We've been trying to dig out a flower bed for our garden. Weve got the shape of it done and dug out lots of soil only to find there was lots of rubble and bricks under it. Alot of it was still stuck together. So my dad came round as he has certain tools to help us break it up and pull it all out. We then discovered…

I haven't weighed myself since the start date of the 5lb challenge! Not sure what the scales gonna show when I do! But I thought I might aswell do it soon as it's not long until May! However, I do have a NSV! Ive always had to buy a size 14-16 which is a Large in UK sizes. Especially on the bottom half of my body. I can…

I think you have a good reason to feel like a mess! What's going on isn't exactly small. He's had some serious operations which require more care than you both probably realised! And it's hard to adapt to that change at first! But as with everything else you find a way through! Don't be so hard on yourself! You're both…

The weather is atrocious here in the UK. The kids have just gone back to school today. They've had two weeks off and it didn't rain on 3 days of those 2 weeks. It was raining a bit this morning but had stopped by the time we had to leave the house for the school run. As we stepped out Casey said "why's that cloud so black…

Me and ash started exercising again We had about a 5 day break. My legs are sore again lol! Yesterday I managed to rein in the snacking. I still had some snacks but wayyyyy less than I was. Had a crazy moment last week where I just couldn't stop! Need to look up some healthy snacks that I'll actually want 😂
-
Hey everyone! I've not been doing as well as I like. We haven't exercised for 3 days, Ash was ill and then Saskia. So we've just been dealing with that. And then I've got into the snacks again. I tried really hard yesterday to say no but then I felt a bit under the weather so I didn't have any lunch. Casey gave me a few…

Had a really good day food wise yesterday. Brown toast for breakfast Tuna, crushed potatoes with a little butter and garlic and kale for lunch. Salmon, Parmentier potatoes and cabbage for dinner. I did have a couple of cookies in bed though. And we had a share bag of crisps but they were like low fat crisps I think? So…

Kids have had a great Easter. Ash's mum did giant baskets for the kids again. I really need to stop "helping" them get through it LOL Can't wait til it's out the house bit I also need to limit it for them too rather than letting them stuff their faces! Have been exercising still but really need to stop eating bloody…

My MIL said she was too young to be called "Nan" so my girls call her Poppy and grandad is "DarDar" She's also 58 but would have been 48 when my eldest was born! Atleast I think.. I don't remember going to her 50th? That's got me thinking now.. I'm sure she's 58 now though lol

You will absolutely not let him down! And it will be enough! Sometimes it can be the very small things that make the biggest of differences! And don't apologise for venting either :)

I'm at Ash's parents this weekend, we're not really sticking to the diet but not going crazy either. Taking the kids to the play centre today. They live right out in the countryside, and the birds at 5am this morning was so loud. I could hear so many different birds 😂 Then the dogs both set each other off 15 mins later.…

@more_freggies76 Sorry to hear about the eye surgery. I hope it goes well 🤞 @pridesabtch I also hope Tim is okay. Sorry it was infected! I know you were hoping for better news! I feel bad for moaning about basic dentistry now!

Tooth feels much better today. But still a little sensitive to hot/cold and pressure. But the pains gone. Beasted out another workout this morning followed by eggs and avocado for breakfast. Ash has been working out nearly every day! I'm still on one day and off another. But will work up to most days! It really knackers me…
