35 pounds is a fantastic achievement. Well done.

I have lost about 35lb since may 2019 and I’m so happy

You should be happy, that is impressive!

I felt really slim yesterday!

I believe you are slim! You should feel that way.

Its always good for us to look back and see what we have accomplished, and you have accomplished a lot. You are a slimmer and happier woman than the Petal I first met here!

You are so on top of it, Petal. You are so much happier in general I think these days.

Yes and things are better at work too so that helps .

35 pounds is a lot! No wonder you feel better. I love that you find your own ways and strategies that for your life.

Lama I try and work out what suits me . I hate feeling deprived and hungry so i think the plans I have followed have helped me get where I am .

Thanks Rob

And you have all been so lovely and supportive. Best support system is here tbh

I think supporting others is just as helpful as the support we get from others - and you do your fair share of supporting people around here!

Thanks lama . I would like to be able to post more

 

[Llama]

I´m pretty sure you do what you can, and trying to do more isn´t healthy for anyone in the long run. Always take care of number one first!

I’m not one for posting pics of food but I made this tonight and it was fab . Diabetic friendly just be careful with fruit . I am literally stuffed .

 

[Llama]

Looks delicious!

Is it pear and natural yoghurt Petal?

 

[Petal001]

Yes Em it was natural Greek yoghurt, Tesco finest . It's nice .

Someone in my extended family got bad news yesterday ( not life threatening but something thst will make life hard, they already knew it but it's confirmed now ) . This is in addition to hardships they already have. I promised I would help out this year as my kids are finished school but with covid I couldn't do much but hopefully from now when lockdown ends I can do just that .

I'm lucky I'm healthy , my kids are and I know we all have worries and woes but there are so many worse off out there . We need to embrace each good moment when we can .

I had a very productive work week. If I can keep the momentum going for the next 4 weeks it would be great . But it's draining me . Glad weekend here so I'm going got enjoy that , rest up and hopefully gear up for another week.

Food good , exercise good . Have a lovely weekend all x

Amen to that. Hope the weekend will offer some rest and recreation of the quiet kind.

So happy to hear your wonderful progress!!! That's such a huge accomplishment, plus the healthy lifestyle on top of that!!!

I feel the same way. I need to have somewhat strict guidelines that really work for me, and the low carb, higher healthy fats thing also works really well for me. And making things so they aren't stressful, including diet has to be a big part of my journey. Anyway, I'm so thrilled at all your hard work paying off!

Sorry to hear about your family member. I love your attitude of embracing each good moment. Hope your weekend is lovely!

 

[Petal001]

I have not even posting for a few reasons , I have been really busy with work , it's very intense , also really working on limiting screen time for headaches and sore eyes , supporting my sis in law a bit and just busy at home .

Confession time I had a chococale binge on Monday , yuck . It's out of my system now . Was tiredness related and stress. I am rolled back to reset mode now again . I'm ok about it .

I'm flying in work and getting so much done but it's hard work but I'm determined to have a clear desk . Not sure how I will claim my time back yet . Probably will take fri off to start depending on how it's looking otherwise a day next week .

Weight is stable so that's good

 

[Petal001]

Marsia thanks for the comments too , yes the hard work pays off except for my odd blip !!!

 

[Cate]

One blip is just that. Hope you take Friday off & do something nice for yourself, Petal

 

[Llama]

If you can keep that blip a blip it´s annoying but nothing else. Another upvote for taking Friday off!

 

[Emilyrose]

Great job on being so productive Petal. I’m normally able to just put the head down but it’s a real struggle at the moment. I need that chain at the office desk I think.
