Sounds like a really emotional day yesterday so not surprised you didn't feel up to cooking. Still very much in the ballpark calorie wise so I wouldn't worry.
Brilliant news on the loss, not only because a 3lb loss is always brilliant news, but like you said it does look like it might be the difference of the metabolism reset. Encouraging stuff.
I am still enviously eyeing the screen every time you mention cheese. How many days is it til Feburary????
p.s I have the same cat hair problem with our cushions. I don't know what possessed me to get mohair cushions when my cats refuse to sleep on anything that isn't a lap or a cushion. Our household is possibly solely responsible for selotape still being in business - we get through so much daily just to makes clothes presentable for leaving the house. And I still reckon we are often about 20% cat when we arrive for work due to the hair we didn't manage to get rid of!
I have been a little over my TDEE yesterday and today as well, but not by much. Two days later the rug looks just how it did on Saturday morning before I attacked it - hairy!
Sunday
Pretty disastrous day today - we had to take OH's van to his works depot in the morning, only I got hopelessly lost in the country lanes getting there and eventually had to head back for home and get petrol. He had left his mobile at home (men!) so eventually he came home too, hoping I would be there as obviously I couldn't let him know where I was! So then we had to set off to do it all again! This meant that by 4.00pm I had had nothing except a coffee and a low fat yogurt, plus water,so we went to Wetherspoons for food.
I had half a starter portion of nachos with sour cream, salsa, cheddar and guacamole and a jacket spud with BBQ pulled pork and coleslaw, plus a glass of toffee apple cider
Once home I had a twirl and some more water and that was it for food for the day - Total 1794/1750, so 44 calories over - although I reckon I stressed that out driving around in circles!
Oh, and I also managed to b***** up the broadband router by unplugging it to try and get the phone to work properly! I was not the most popular person in the house!
Monday - back to school today as anti biotics seem to be doing their stuff on the chest infection.
Breakfast - gf crunchy nut cornflakes with milk (186 cals)
Lunch - gf brown ciabatta roll with cheddar cheese and lettuce with a scraping of mayo, one ounce of ready salted kettle crisps, a satsuma (473 cals)
After another fruitless attempt to sort out the WiFi router we went shopping at Tesco. Picked up an instant meal to try - lamb rogan josh and pilau rice, plus half a portion of sag aloo. It wasn't too bad actually, although have to say I prefer my own! Followed up with 10 fresh cherries and an apple (994 cals!)
After eating I had to organise the music tracks for my brother's cremation, ready to go to the Funeral Director tomorrow, which was sad but quite fun. We are only having music he would have chosen, no hymns, and I'm sure that will raise a few eyebrows, but the canon who is taking the service knew him personally through his job, and as he said it is a day about his life, so it is right that it is personal to him. His flat is just about empty now, and everything is going to the bank for probate. We are all so tired - emotionally rather than physically, but everything we can do is done now, until the day of the cremation itself.
After sorting the music I had a snack - crunchie fun size (80 cals)
Drinks - water, milk in earl grey teas (30 cals), glass of dry cider (72 cals)
Total 1835/1750 - 135 calories over, but I'm happy enough with that - will aim to keep strictly within my calorie level for the rest of the week.
