    Good morning. I was out with a friend and did a lot of steps yesterday but I think that I ate to match it. I'm going to start MFP again today and I have to figure out what exercise I can do. I really miss running and I paid way more attention to food when I was using it as fuel not emotional support. I need taking in hand 🤣

    In other news the HT and I tried the new Cadbury Twisted buttons and they're horrible. Don't even think about them if you see them. I eat almost anything and so does the HT's partner who didn't like them either.

    @CRANKY40 what a shame about the buttons! I didn’t like the twisted creme egg thing either (and I do like a creme egg). Sometimes things shouldn’t be messed with! 
    If you need taking in hand about eating you’ve come to the wrong place 🤣 I get so disheartened when I log everything, it’s less than I need and my body thinks ‘nah, we’ll keep the fat, it’ll see us right through the next famine’ ☹️
    I’ve never been a runner, to be honest if I was being chased by a monster it would just have to catch me…I couldn’t do it!

    My sister says that the problem is that we come from good peasant stock. We'd last a good few winters without enough food. I lost weight at the beginning of the year when I was ill and it was a bit scary to see how little I could actually eat to have to lose 2 lbs a week. I have hypermobile joints and really need a knee replacement but I'm fed up of feeling so unfit.

    You have described me to a tee! I've always said if there's a zombie apocalypse, I'm the first to be caught. 🤣

    Inspired by @CRANKY40 ,  I have restarted MFP. I would be a good meal, on a crutch after recent op, very unfit and a bit lardy. I have absolutely no intention of ever running and nearly died laughing when asked if doing a lot of sport when younger contributed to needing a hip replacement. Er, no!

    Love your thread @WinterWarrior, so uplifting.

    Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️🌺🍫
    Work was grim yesterday. Half the world is on holiday and I find I’m much more reactive than proactive so I struggle when my email is quiet! I’m sure there is lots to be doing, but I fell down a rabbit hole and ended up doing half a very boring training course in the afternoon. Something we were asked to look at, but no idea why! At least it’s a tick in that box I guess.
    At least it’s Tuesday, 4 days to the BH weekend and 1 week to pay day 😁
    I really must look into mortgage overpayments today, I keep saying I will and then forgetting. Surely even a few pounds here and there will make a difference.
    I hope you all have wonderful days filled with sunshine and fun things 📚🍫☕️🌸

    Happy Tuesday, soon be payday 💰 💴 

    August is always quiet where I work, usually a good time to take leave or do some digital housekeeping. 

    Have a good one ☕️🍫

    Good morning and happy Wednesday 🌸⭐️🌺
    Well after complaining about being quiet..yesterday afternoon really kicked off at work and now I have lots of complicated problems I don’t know how to deal with…that will teach me 🤣
    at least it’s almost half way through the week.
    The pounds I lost have found their way back 🤷🏻‍♀️, so I need to be even more vigilant (and stop eating all the pies).
    I am hoping today will be an NSD, yesterday should have been, but 😯
    I hope you all have fabulous days with minimal work and maximum happiness ☕️🍫📚
