Must try harder!

WinterWarrior

Good morning and happy Sunday ☀️☕️
The takeaway weight is still sticking around 😖 Why is everything so hard? I only had one full meal yesterday as we were out and about over lunchtime, yet the calories still added up to my daily allowance…just because I had 2 small ancient grain rolls with seafood sandwich filling and salad instead of one! A few thin chips on the side (100g frozen weight) and 3 hotel choc macarons in the evening and that was 1400 calories with drinks and a biscuit for breakfast included. I’m sure it will be Christmas before I get to my target, then I’ll have a small Christmas dinner and some pudding and will put half of it back on 🤭
Yesterday we had our trip to the bigger town, stocked up on litter, frozen chicken pieces (which I air fry in batches for dog), some paint, etc. for the bathroom door and window surround, some bad things from bnm (Australian overpriced caramilk marvellous creations bar….as the white one was my favourite and I can’t find it anywhere), some poppets and mikados (I know, I know…I’ll weigh and calorie count them 🤣) and some bits from MrT. I’m so often stuck at my desk that it felt like a lovely outing! 

I have no idea what today will comprise of. I was thinking about work tasks randomly overnight, a weekend is never enough time to decompress.
I hope you all have a lovely Sunday ☀️🌞☕️

Those scales of yours are quite frankly cruel….they keep giving you and then snaffling back the pounds. Mine do the same but to be honest I’m not sure how I only put 1/2lb on whilst away in Scotland for over 2 weeks. I ate exactly what I wanted. I was rather pleased when I weighed in on Saturday morning. 😀 How much have you lost since the beginning of the year - it must be clocking up now. Better than my miserly 4lb….at least it’s not 4 on as I’ve gone mad every time we’ve been away 😏
The house things are all sounding good. We got rid of our front gates many years ago and we don’t miss them. We did get a wrought iron gate and little fence at the side of the house several years ago and that was 3 grand 😳 dread to think what it’d be now 😳
Enjoy your time off work. Hope your weather is better than ours it’s piddled down since we got back from Scotland…..and a fair bit of time whilst we were there. The rivers need it though as they were very dry.

Oh @milann they really are cruel. I started just after Christmas so have lost 1 and a half stones so far, but have been bumbling up and down the same pound for what feels like at least 3 weeks 😖 Your holiday weight gain was brilliant, I’m so glad you enjoyed what you wanted while you were there.
£3k for a little fence? Gulp! 

It’s been throwing it down all day here. We went out for lunch (I know, I know 🤭), called for some bird food and changed the bedding…that’s it, a full day gone! 

I made up my first all purpose spray from the Nancy b book at the weekend and it’s brilliant. I highly recommend it, all it is is white vinegar, surgical spirit, water and essential oil, but it powered through the cooker top and makes the taps sparkle like nothing else I’ve tried. I’ve just scrubbed the trays the cat dishes sit on and it works for that too. I will make up some of her other cleaners too. 

I hope you’ve all had a happy Monday ☕️☕️

I can remember putting surgical spirit on spots when I was a teenager - it’s a wonder I’ve got any skin left 😆 Does the essential oil mask the vinegar smell?

Not really 🤣 I’m going to add more essential oil in the next mix. MrWW thought I’d been painting 😬

Good morning and happy Tuesday 🌞 I do plan to log into work this morning as I should really have done that yesterday. I haven’t braved the scales yet, but I will soon 😢
In good news and for the first time ever I have won twice on the pb’s!! One £25 and one £50 😁 They auto reinvest so I don’t see it, but that means I have won £100 in total this year and might be breaking even with the better interest rates. 

All being well we will head to the little cinema this afternoon. Do do do doo, do do do, do do do doo, do do do do do…now imagine me sliding through the door and reaching back to snatch my fedora before it slams shut 😁😁
I hope you all have a lovely day ☀️☕️🍩

Congrats on the wins and oooh the fedora film - I want to see that. I'm working up to talking the HT into coming to see it with me. 

I just remembered something - a person that I know lost a lot of weight by doing herself a treat plate every night for watching tv. It had lots of different things on it but in small amounts so that it took a while to eat. Thinks like a 10p packet if crisps (they're probably 20p now but you know the kind), a couple of mini dime sweets, a mini break up bar, a baby bel, mini meringues from M&S. I thought I'd put it here because if you don't fancy it one of our other friends trying to lose weight might. 

I hope you enjoy your day out.

Ooh I’m all over the lower calorie bad things. I’d fight MrWW for the last packet of skips 🤭 I actually and weirdly dropped to teetering on the next pound down when I weighed 😁 I’m taking it! Although fish and chips are planned for after my Indie experience 🤤 so it might wack it back on tomorrow.

Enjoy the film! Boo to having to work, but yay for the scales and PB wins!! 🎉
I won this month too for the second time ever, only one but a good one!

Well done on the wins 🥳👏 It’s good to know that people do actually win on them now and again, a few on the diaries seem to.
