Good morning and happy Thursday ⭐️☕️
The double step was successful this morning. 0.2 down, but a second step on with everything crossed took it to 0.4 😅 Absolutely no chance of best of three SA, I’m taking the good one 🤣
0.1 to go to get to 2lbs…is this the most boring and tortuous diary in MSE land right now??
@jwil I tried a lot over the last few years, but fizzled out in days. You really, really have to have your head in the right place. That’s the hardest step I think. For me it was seeing the obese rating, in the past it’s been when I couldn’t fasten something. Once you get that trigger it will be fast work for you I’m sure. I’m really hoping my feeling of horror will last me until I get where I need to be.
@Humdinger1…ooh, maybe it should be a gold medal? 😬 Not very MSE though, so perhaps I should make one 😕 Plenty of time to think about it…plenty!
Work today, so nothing exciting planned. I might book Friday afternoon off.
Ihope you all have a wonderful day ☕️⭐️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Good morning and happy Friday…At last 🥳
The scales were evil this morning, they said I’d stayed the same…I hopped back on and it went up point 1, so I quickly hopped off. That was so quick it didn’t count! So I’m still the same…I am!Today I have work this morning, but the afternoon off and we might go out for a late lunch if the post has delivered something in time that MrWW is waiting for. I will try to count the calories and hopefully won’t go up, as I really want to get to the 2lb mark 🤣, but I also really want to go out! I can see at this rate that I’ll not get to target until Christmas and then I’ll put it all back again in that week 😅 The place I want to go to today is the one that does those fantastic sundaes, but luckily only in summer. They still have some lovely looking desserts, but I hope to ignore those. I’ll report back, I promise.
I’d also like a walk on a beach if there’s time.
I hope you all have a lovely day ⭐️☕️☕️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Be strong you are almost at the 2lb - you are doing so well. I stayed the same, more by luck than judgement! still struggling but calling it a win if I dont put on. I definately think there is a switch in my brain and if its switched on I am ok but at the moment it stuck on off think I need a spray of WD40! Have a lovely afternoon out x4

@beanielou tell us about the pudding? 😋
We are still waiting for MrWW’s delivery. What a waste of an afternoon off 😖 Sadly it’s worth too much to risk a note asking for it to be left outside 😕Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
