Things can only get better

I am not overweight I am under tall. Think I should be about 7ft when in reality I am 5ft 7ins.

Thanks cherry fudge I am using my fitness pal app on my I pad I have got 1200 calls a day which I am finding ok as I like lots of veg and salads so can easily fill up on them I have a very active heavy job but am furloughed at the minute and to be honest it’s the first time in my life I have only had one job up until last Xmas I worked three I worked in a supermarket on a morning a dry cleaners on a afternoon and a fish shop on a night and I never had a minute to eat a proper meal I would grab anything to eat while I was in the process of changing my uniform so by the time at got in at nearly midnight I could of ate my own hands I was starving and believe it on not the nearly 20 years I worked in the chippy I never ate a chip but it’s look after me time now and I’m determined to 

I think that's the attitude that gets the job done: I tell myself no one else is going to do it for me. That isn't a sleight on my nearest and dearest, but they aren't the ones feeding me (though they do encourage me to exercise).
You sound to have had an ultra-busy life! How are you finding furlough?

Good luck to all of you getting back on the scales tomorrow! I have to confess to falling off the wagon the last few days so tomorrow's weigh-in may bring me up sharp. There may not be any exercise either as the pavements are a sheet of ice tonight and I'm a bit self conscious about exercise videos when DH is at home.

@Sun_Addict 100 agree re dog. Actually enjoy getting out even when the weather is bad tbh. 

My wife is 5’3”, I’m 5’10” so our son got no !!!!!! hope of being tall ha. Wife getting me back on the fitness properly tomorrow but no running - she’s at the physio tomorrow done something to the arch of her foot. I don’t have an excuse really. Need to keep on it don’t want to get fat myself tbh.

Those are exactly our heights and one of ours is 6'2" - not quite sure how that happened.

@warby68 at the risk of turning into my dad I’m convinced the population is getting taller. Thought of son being taller than me in a few years is a strange one tbh mind I’m convinced the wife reckons he’s never going to grow up, anyone would think she’s got a 1 year old how she talks about him haha.

All mums are the same. The other half's mum thinks he is still her baby not a grown man in his 40's!!

@RelievedSheff Yep think you’re right, MIL the same. Mine couldn’t wait for sister and I to grow up though lol.

Morning all, happy Monday 😊

Back at work today, was so glad not to be walking in that pouring rain this morning. Glad to be back in a routine I think. 

I also think people are getting taller, I suppose it's the better nutrition thing over the years. Hearing of people 6ft 7 plus now doesn't seem to be that unusual.

Today is the start of my 28 day HIIT plan and today's exercise is lower body HIIT so will be doing that after work, I'll find something in my WW app. I would also like to do around 14,000 steps, we shall see as I suspect I'll be pretty much tied to my desk all day catching up. Back on the food tracking as from today too. 

Cleaning is kitchen/dining room, my task list is from the Fly Lady thread, although I don't always manage everything on it and I certainly won't once I'm back in the office.

I'll need to pick up a loaf of bread today so it won't be a NSD. That's all we need though, will go through the fridge and freezer for tonight's meal inspiration.

Will need to chase up Aldi today about the airer, not heard back from them. By contrast my refund from Amazon for the faulty vacuum is already back in my account, what a difference in customer service!

Morning I have my Fitbit set at 15000 I have hit it every day and a bit more yesterday but that’s with a good walk in and walking the dog a couple of times I will hit it no problem when I get back to work it’s just keeping on the straight and narrow with my food I have started my own diary on here I think I have done it right just to keep me focused I don’t know if anyone will read it but I hope so i would love peoples feedback as to what I’m doing and just to keep me motivated I wanted to come on this one because I find it very friendly I will be cleaning the kitchen and downstairs today after I have checked everything is ok with my banking hoping to have a very cheap January all meals planned for this week so here goes have a good day everyone whatever you are doing
