Brambling

Wow some great losses looking good guys 👏👏👏 

After yesterday snacking day aka 'if it doesn't move eat it' I've have gotten back on track today so have hopefully undone some of the damage

STS which I was upset with till I remembered all the little (and not so little) extras. This next week I shall write everything down and be more aware!

Well done everyone on your efforts this week.

We had a sudden death in the family on Friday, which was completely unexpected as he went for a run Thursday morning, took a turn Thursday afternoon, and died 24 hours later. It’s hard to comprehend when there is no suggestion of ill health and I have fought hard not to eat my emotions, but it hasn’t been easy. Keeping busy has been the key, and I have a -1lb loss to report.

I haven’t done a meal plan for this week, yet. There is a box of salad items in the fridge, which I need to chop up. I find it more likely to reach for the salad when it’s already prepared, so I’m going to do that today. I also need to make up a batch of soup at some point.

Hello, hope you don't mind me joining a little late. Aiming for 5kg in 12 weeks, so shall we say 4 by end March?

Downloaded the NHS apps. 

Aiming to improve my blood pressure, mental health, and trim a bit.

What a shock for you, Black_Saturn. I'm so sorry.

All easy food until DH breaks up again for 5 days on Thursday morning as its hard for him to cook from scratch and do everything else he does. 

Food today:

1/2 avocado on toast
Lemon/black pepper breaded fish, chips and peas.

Snacks- Potted cheese with a few crackers,  apple and satsumas

Wishus - The NHS apps are quite good.  The one that tells you your ideal BMI is a shocker for me.  Nevermind, I'll get there.
