Old Style Weight Loss 2020 - Part 3

nananibbles

Good Morning All,

So nice to wake up to some light hearted humour reading these posts, the things we do for a little chunk of chocolate Monnagran and Brambling. The stories I could tell. Keeping my stash in the boot of my car which was parked in the underground carpark when I lived in a block of flats and going up and down in the lift late at night in my jimmy jams just to get my paws on a piece. Opening the boot one day after a long day at work only to realise it had been left in the sun all day and had melted all over the boot of my car (it was a lot of chocolate!) and the number of times I've had to repeatedly replace opened Easter eggs I'd bought for my kids  

I cannot lie - I bummed out yesterday. I'm not even going to begin to list what I ate - but it aint pretty. I ate my breakfast as usual at 8.30am, had to go out then got back around 10.30 only to discover I was really hungry. I held out for as long as I could, started picking at a few things and then decided to have an early lunch in the hope that this would stop me picking - yeah, right. I managed to put a halt on it around 1pm and didn't eat again until bedtime when I  then had a final chocolate scoff! I can only think that when I exercise so early in the morning, then continue to be active my body is just ravenous for energy. It was a miracle when I weighed myself this morning that I had actually lost half a pound - what is going on there!

Drawing a line under yesterday. No running for me this morning. I am meeting my friend for a walk but I'm going to have a low exercise day today to see how that affects my appetite. I've got a sore tummy today so I think I may have a porridge day to soothe it a little.

Chloris

Quickly reporting a STS, which I'm pleased about. Let's hope I can zigzag down a pound or two next week. X

Confessing 50g mixed nuts and 2 chocolate biscuits (blagged from DS) yesterday. 
Today banana and porridge for lunch. Dinner crustless quiche incl smoked salmon with mangetout and spring greens. 
I'll be glad to see the end of the spring greens, I know they are good for you but they come in such huge bags!! 
Have a good day everyone. 🌷☀️

Hi All

I'm just popping in with today's weigh in  half a pound lost please Brambling.

It means I've lost a whole pound since joining.  I would have liked it to have been more but moving house has been very stressful, so I'm just glad not to have put weight on.  I've cooked HM soup this week and HM pasta sauce - its a been a healthy, low cost week, so I'm heading in the right direction.

It feels like its one thing to be sorted after another at the moment (I am never moving again).  But it is all coming together and soon I will be able to pop back and leisurely catch up on everyone's posts again.

Good afternoon, everyone 
 
Congratulations to All Losers, Exercisers, and Mindful Eaters 👏
Well done STSers 👍
Commiserations Gainers 😢
 
I’ve been toiling in the garden, so not enough energy to do more than the minimum other stuff. Have just sown chard, radishes, and second lot of runners, hoping to get potatoes in today. Late late late 😨😱🙀 I know, but baby chard will be fine, and maybe new potatoes for Christmas. Preparation is 9/10ths of success, and definitely has taken 9/10ths of time & energy.
 

Food today
B : porridge (oats, water, 4 hg berries)
Hobbit B : oats with milk
L : cheese salad; nectarine
D : grilled plaice, courgette, hg French beans, carrot

 Happy Friday, folks! Have a good weekend!

Well done for all the losers and STSs 

Cranky i hope RL gets a little better for your friends  Is the HT is doing his GCSE next year? 

Nana - depending on how desperate I was I may have questioned how clean the carboot was and if I could scrape the top off the chocolate  Last night i succumbed to the G&Bs milk chocolate that's been in the fridge since Christmas, I prefer their plain chocolate which is why it has survived but needs must etc which was rather stupid as I didn't enjoy it  as i don't really like it   the second bar will be donated to my sister (she won't thank me for it  )

Blue - I don't see why you can't have new potatoes for Christmas and as you say things like baby chard should be ok

Tomorrow I'm having my first hair cut in 5 months so I may lose weight this week    I'm told it's sad how excited I am about it    I think it's amazing that I haven't tackled my fringe myself 

B - Banana
L - smoked mackerel and horseradish baguette 
D - Sea bass with french and runner beans and something with courgettes, new potatoes - followed by fresh pineapple and melon
S - fibre one brownie, grapes
