Silmarilliane Posted October 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Had an appointment yesterday and then hung out with a friend and her toddler (I went on the swings 🙂). Didn't eat much early in the day so found myself with a lot of calories left for dinner, so I made some custard tart fake nata things with some 'best before' out of date custard from the cupboard. Tasty. Got a HIIT workout done in the morning and did my weights before Pilates. High scoring day!

Sovalis Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Your singing mask gives me this lovely, spooky image of a bunch of Plague Doctors wearing masks singing in chorus as they go through mostly empty streets… Might have to write something about it.

Glad your challenge is going so well! Ahaha, amazing! We definitely did feel a bit like plague doctors in those masks the first few months back after lockdowns!

Silmarilliane Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Met another friend yesterday on the other side of the world (opposite end of the tube map), went for a wander and went on the swings again 🙃 Sadly though I left the mittens I made last year on the tube on the way there, booo. Have put a lost property request in so we'll see 🤞 I did have the phone out a bit in bed as I wanted to bid on something on eBay, but as I'm on annual leave I don't really have an issue with this as I had no specific time I had to get up, and it wasn't endless scrolling. I'm docking myself five points for it though. Off to the spa today, yippee! Yesterday: 🚶♀️15pts 🥗 15pts 📵 10pts Total: 1255pts* *This means I have passed the challenge so far, however I'm expecting tomorrow to be a -50pts on the food front, if not today too! 2 1 Quote Level 27 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 Link to comment
Silmarilliane Posted October 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Spa day was lovely - afternoon tea, pool/jacuzzi/sauna, massage and then chill out with room service and watched crap TV and The Terminator. Obv over ate though at least didn't have anything before the afternoon tea. Did a two mile walk before we left and then a few turns around the garden to make up the rest. Yesterday: 🚶♀️15pts 📵 15pts 🫖🥪🍰🍮 -50pts Total: 1235pts I have just had a lot of food because breakfast included, but I also went to the gym beforehand to do some hill walking/jogging and exercise bike. Wondering if I'll splurge all the rest of the day or be sensible... At the moment I'm very full! 2 Quote Level 27 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 Link to comment

Oh no! 😔 you can only hope whoever found it has appreciated it since🤞 Unsurprisingly after the full English hotel breakfast I didn't eat great the rest of the day... Chocolate and then a No-Chicken Kyiv from m&s which is my favourite (but calorific so I don't have it often). I did do the exercise biking in the morning and got my walk in after I got home at least.

Silmarilliane Posted October 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 What's nice about taking a week off without going anywhere particularly is that yesterday felt like a Sunday, and now I have the weekend! Got a little cycle in before walking as well so that's good. Wanted to have another cycle today but it's raining... Contemplating doing an exercise video but I'm suspecting that I'll add up today's points and see I don't need to do extra to pass the challenge haha. Yesterday: 🚶♀️15pts 📵 15pts 🥗 10pts 🚲 5pts Total: 1265pts I'm going out this evening which will be pizza and cocktails (planning on wearing the amazing jumpsuit again) but am being sensible beforehand food-wise so I expect that to be a -10 but will still do the walking and no phone. 3 Quote Level 27 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 Link to comment

Silmarilliane Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Thanks y'all for the support over this challenge - it's gone well from what I've seen, and with weighing myself most days, there's been a steady ~11.5 stone going on toward the end. I have a line-a-day diary that you write in for five years, and this time last year I had just got to 12.5 stone after being ~13 for ages, so I'm happy it's carried on the downward trend. I definitely feel like I've lost fat and am generally feeling better in myself since rebooting the challenges just over a year ago. I was out for a friend's birthday yesterday; there was pizza, gin and cocktails. I ate sensibly beforehand though, but other than doing a walk, I didn't do any extra exercise. Today will be interesting whether I leave the house seeing as I don't have to Yesterday: 🚶♀️15pts 📵 15pts 🍕🍸 -10pts Total for the challenge: 1285pts Challenge Success! 2 Quote Level 27 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 Link to comment

Silmarilliane Posted October 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Unsurprisingly I ate kinda crap yesterday and also didn't leave the house. I did not feel good for it! Back to working today, so although I probably won't count calories, I'm following my usual meal plans.
