I wonder if Zafiro is my neighbour?  We have had internet on and off and then they made it worse by digging it. 

I'm down south about 20 miles off the coast in Hampshire - is that close to you??

STS again this week, I'm trying to live off what we already have in freezers, cupboards etc as I don't really want to go shopping at the moment because I'm in that 'At Risk' category to do with the virus. So diet meal planning is a little fraught at the moment. I think I'll concentrate on portion size more carefully and see if that helps - but I do get hungry.

I'm having a strangely busy one at work today so just a quick one to say well done for the losses and lost inches definitely make up for a STS.

Commiserations to any other gainers - my weigh in this morning was another +2lb gain - and I definitely understand feeling ridiculously annoyed with yourself but still not being able to stop shoveling in rubbish. Despite knowing that eating well and exercising makes me feel better, both physically and mentally, I seem to have absolutely zero motivation to do anything other than sit on the sofa and stuff myself full of things that I know I should be avoiding. I really need to get a grip soon though because I've got less than three months until holiday and no summer clothes which I can get my fat carcass into!!

Best of luck everyone xx

Oh dear. We have all been there Izadora.  It is unbelievably hard when the lack of motivation hits you like a shovel. Never mind about the holiday clothes. This is what kaftans were invented for. 

So much for my plan today. I got delayed and walked for three hours in the pouring rain and had to improvise in a cafe. I didn't have to improvise with quite so much gusto, I suppose! 

Food today...
Meat and potato pie.  Vanilla slice. 
Pea and ham soup. 

Zafiro, I'm in Liverpool. We had another blip today, thankfully short lived.

I love the Wirral. I spend a lot of time there for swimming.

Good evening everyone   
 

Jackrabbit well done on your loss, hope all goes well your eldest DS 
 
Izadora commiserations on your gain    I think the weather and miserable news everywhere - which we can do nothing about - are very demotivating and we seek comfort where we can find it   
 

Frith I hope you have a better sleep tonight ((hugs))
 
honey the plan looked so good ... hopefully your long walk burned off at least some of the calories you consumed  I’ve stopped buying ice cream, I can eat a litre tub at a sitting 
 
Brambling well done on your busy and productive weekend 👍 Did you enjoy Agrippina?
 

Senior Doggy has been very unwell all day; he’s sleeping now, but I think I’ll sit up with him tonight.

Today’s eats:
B : bacon & eggs
L : cold lamb with apple and celery salad
D : salmon with fennel, parsnips and green beans; cinnamon yogurt 
S : none

Morning everyone, I missed weighing in last week due to internet issues then forgot to update! I'm pleased to announce that I'm down another 1lb so have now reached my half stone target!!  Going to make a start on the next half stone.
Going to catch up on all the message now to get inspired by everyone else's weight losses!

Izadora

Morning All,

Zafiro I hope the freezer bingo's going well. Keeping safe is definitely more important than weight loss at the moment and hopefully you manage to come up with some nice and not too calorie-heavy concoctions.

Honey It's always annoying when life gets in the way of well-intentioned plans but I'm sure the walk will have offset some of the improvised eating. And thank you, if all else fails I'll remember that kaftans are an option

Frith Well done for getting on the scales, knowing where you're at is huge part of the battle, and I hope you get a better night's sleep tonight. 

roundtuit Bathroom cleaning definitely burns calories

Blue Doggy I hope that senior doggy's feeling better and that you're not too tired today

Miss Behaving Well done on the loss and hitting your half stone target

Sorry for yesterday's self-indulgent misogs. Although I'm still finding not shoving everything into my face difficult I'm at least just about keeping a lid on it and even managed to force myself to go for a run last night. I decided to go back and do a previous run as I was struggling enough before taking a week and a half break and figured that failing again would finish me in my current mood. It was definitely the right decision as I managed to complete it so I'll just keep going from there and hopefully the one I was stuck on won't seem so bad when I get there again.

Best of luck everyone xx

I’ve been pretty much wiped out today, my chair is not comfy for sleeping  but I’m glad I sat up with Senior Doggy as he needed help turning a couple of times. He’s been a lot better today. I’m looking forward to sleeping in my bed tonight 🛌💤

B : porridge
