Morning my dears and thank you all for kind wordsOn my way to work again. But preapared food wise. I did slow cooked turky over night and have my buckwheat with me. All free and filling. For last few days I have skip breakfast. I know I should not but for now I am. Sounds silly but skipping breakfast lets me eat more later. Does it makes any sense ? Other thing that I have notised with skipping breakfast is the feeling oh hunger. The feeling in your stomach that feels like something is pulling you belly in. Lol - how to explain. And I never ever had this feeling before. Somehow I kind of like it. If to wait a pit the feeling will pass. Yesterday I wake up around 8:30 and I eat around 17:00 , I was hungry but did not felt like I need to have something right now and then. I always was the one who had to eat before gets hungry. Or I will feel very sick. I have high insulin level. But Im not diabetic. And doc said if Im feeling little hunger I need to eat something fast. If I didnt I felt very very sick. Eating will lower my insulin or something. Now losing so much weight as I have Im able to be without food and not get sick. Thats amazing. Dont worry I will never go without food only for xmas period - until the end of Jan I will try to lower my food intake even if sw allow me to eat as much as I want. I find it very hard to be good at work with all that xmas food around me. And keep in mind for me its all new. We have different xmas foods and sweets. Anyhow only few more weeks are busy and then it will slows down and I can survive it. Today I feel little pain from KB work out but not to bad. Still did skip todays swings. I really cannot afford to be sore body right now. Tomorrow I will do another 100 swings and go from there. 16 kg is still 16 kg and that needs time to get use to. Dam Im strong , lol I am, honest. And sometimes I wonder will I still be strong when I lose weight ? Have a great day everyone and dont forget to smile
16kg is amazing!!! I struggle with 5kg kettle bell! Lol

Morning all. Cat honest this 16 kg is heavy but I think it will suit me. Will do some swings after work. As in morning my back was still little sore from first day.
Yesterday I left like water ballon. And scale showd 113.1 too. So I have added some weight. Not surprised if to think my body is in pain.
As they say - no pain no gain. Lol. So true
Waffle I manage to get my toy to work. How can I now add you to my friend ? Anyone else here have fitbit ?
Interesting toy. Told me that I slept pretty good tonight ( and did 200 steps too, lol ) must been running in my sleep
I have busy day today - will want to see what fitbit tells me about it.
And I find adding food to fitbit more suitable for me then myfitnespal app. Will see if I manage to put all in I eat.
Have a great day everyone smiles to all xx

That doesn't sound right, what you done at it lol!!
Did you set it for your sleep? Have you got it set to your not dominant arm? Do you walk backwards and forwards all day at work? How many hours was it in the space of? And have you logged any exercise on my fitness pal?
Sorry a million questions

It could be real, how far do you walk to & from work? 20k equated to about 10 miles I think, and on a day of just staying at home I do about 4,000 just up and downstairs and stuff so I guess you could have done... I bet you job is a lot of walking around the kitchen, you are on your feet all day! I sit on the floor playing with Maisie half of my day... X

What is Flex HR ??
And good morning. Another day another challenge. Yesterday my dailt total was 22 k steps ( at least fitbit think so ) and Im glad to report that today when I start late i can see lot less steps so far. So I will trust my toy and say - Yes I did 22 k steps, lol
Did not change anything on scale tho. Still 113,1 as I was and thats 600 g over my last WI on saturday. I need to work harder as I want to lose 7,5 pounds more this year and get my 7 st award. Its not impossible but it wont be easy aswell.
Yesterday I was good food wise and did not go over my syns. Hope to be the same today.
Wake up and I did not felt any pain in my body and was ready for KB swings. Took me about 15 min to make 100 swings and some arm workouts. Was thinking I will try to do 150 swings but then I was thinking to take it slow. Im not in hurry and I dont want to be in pain again. Sure I will as 16 kg is still 16 kg. If you not sure how much is 16 kg its - 2 st and 7 lbs. I was thinking to have few of those with me at my heavyest times but could not really recall how it was.
Give me hubby KB and made him to swing too. At first he was pushing me to do 150 swings as Im doing so great but I said no. Then when he got the KB he could not even do 50. 42 swings was all he manage to do. In sure he will be dieing tomorrow. After he calm down he looked at me and asked how the hell I manage to do 100. Hahaha. Did I told you Im strong ?
But its not hes fault really , I have been doing KB before and slowly going up to 16 kilo. I started with 4 and then did 8 and 12 and 14 kg in my class. But he just got the 16 kg and ofc its hard at first.
Other thing is KB swings were not counted as workouts on fitbit. And I could not see option to add it. Will work it out tonorrow. Waffle said , she uses myfitnesspal, will try to get it in there. All I could see was how many cal I lost in min. Max was 9 cal in min. Is it good ? Have no idea.
Manage to get rid of fitbit in my sleep tonight. Last night it was too tight and now too lose. Need to find midway
So much for me this morning ( I say morning because Im on my way to work and I dont like to think Im working at night )
Aaa and a lady sent me an emal offering pretty good job opurtunitis for me. Sour chef and junior sour chef. Both not far from me and good raise money wise but so wrong timing. I sent replay that not this time I will not leave before xmas and she called back and sent emal , tring to make me still think about it. There are great places both and I could do the job but I dont want to put my co- workers in bad situation just before xmas. So will have to say no again. I dont like saing no, but I cant go against my heart. This is not right for me atm. There will be better offers. When Im ready
Hugs for all and lots of smiles. Its sunny today and I wish everyone a beautiful day xx

Moo you're a super woman! So strong!
You're so selfless too - thinking about your co-workers when trying to decide about the new job.
You're such an inspiration

You are a superstar sweetheart you really are Have a proper think and see if it's right for you lovely rather than thinking about everyone else. I don't want to sound heartless but you must look after yourself in every way as well as weight/health wise

Aw thank you all for kind words
I know we all should look after ourselfs and all but its so hard for me to put myself first. Im grateful for the fact that my hubby got job there too so going now would be something very very ugly thing to do.
There will be better jobs for me. I know. I was speaking to my hubby about it and hes all - go go go - but he dont really understand that thats something I do want and really dont want at the same time.
Being chef in uk is horrible. I must admit it. You have NO life what so ever. Always working and not knowing where you off is something that does not suit me at all.
I like plans. I dont keep them but O like them. I want to know when Im off I want to know when Im working and how many hours. I dont like to know week ahead. The job that I was offered most likely wants me to do 50+ hours every week. Im not ready for that.
Few days been so bad. I have been eating all again. I have been bin again. Stress is what make me eat. And then I want sweet stuff. And a lot.
I have gained 1,5 kg in two days and tomorrow is wi - god how I dont like to go with gain. But I will. I will go and face it.
And I started smokling again. You dont have to worry about that as Im always smoking or not smoking. Im the one who smoked when wants and then stops when wants. Stop smoking is very easy for me. Im not addicted to nikotin but smoking calms me. And thats what I need right now. To stay calm and survive.
Anyhow - hope you all are well and happy and I will see you soon. smiles and hugs to all xx

Aww moo, I can't imagine your life, I have had friends who are chefs and it is a really really hard job also you don't get much recognition for all your hard work because no one often sees the chef! Bless ya!
I have worked jobs like that before where you don't know what you are doing and again it was horrible!
It doesn't matter that your are eating 'like bin' and smoking, it's a busy time of year for you and you are working so hard around 20,000 steps a day is about 3/4 x what I do lol!
You are so hard working and lovely, I am just glad you keep checking in so we know how you are xx

I really think you could do that many moo. I do 13k a day based on following :
2 * 15min brisk walks to and from train station each day
2 * walks through Waterloo / Canary wharf stations as part of the commute. Walking up all escalators
2 * 20 min walks during the day
A few walks around the trading floor and to the gym etc when I'm carrying my phone
Most of the day though I'm on my butt at my desk doing nothing! If I go to the bar and stand up for 3 hours I can do the equivalent of 5k steps!!
So if you're a chef I would say you could easily do 20k steps in a day!!
