Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss 2019(3)

[Not2bObvious]

Continuing from the last thread

That sounds like some shake happier, it’s great when you get a decent shop in that you know covers you nutritionally. I think I might need to cut back on the bread, I ate 6 slices yesterday

I weigh less fully clothed on my work scales than I do on my scales at home. I don't trust them at all!

Yep. My meals will be good so it's only exercise I need to tie in then!

Wreck

I know self praise is no praise but feeling proud of myself. Lots of free cakes with pots of cream in the canteen here, email sent telling people to fill their boots. I just completely ignored and kept away, all gone now so no temptation. I’m also aware of pride going before a fall but honestly I was tempted (be ready for a post this evening when I attack the remaining Easter eggs😉)

Honestly I was not tempted

Maybe time for some new scales wreck ?

Not well done on resisting temptation! My work is the same always giving out crisps sweets or cakes, and always make an effort with different cultural events throughout the year as well so there is always food going round! Ive learned to just ignore it now as well

I guess I'm blessed not to have a workplace with temptation like that, we do have some icecreams in the freezer but other than that zilch!

Well done not2

These days it’s not so bad but my previous job was terrible! Packets & packets of biscuits, cakes every other day, so so hard. I think I might have a nice hot cross bun as my evening treat tonight, that’s what’s appealing to me right now. Toasted with a little real butter....drool

Well done not!

Zebra I haven't had them long! Must change the batteries and see if that helps. Can you get home sales calibrated anywhere I wonder.

If they are consistent wreck - then the point is they’re out by a specific amount. Do you know what I mean? How about the doctors scales, was that out much? Your goal is very much physique based wasn’t it, so would it matter if the scales said a number but you felt you still had too much tummy? Definitely start measuring as well

I don't know what the DR's one was she didn't let me see I do know what you mean and I know it probably shouldn't bother me as much as it does. I need to lose fat though. I had fat hips and a fat belly and I'm well aware that you can't spot reduce fat so the only way I'll get rid of it is by losing weight

I'm not exercising today I'm really tired and just can't be bothered.

Not is right I think as long as you weight on the same scales you will be ok.
Defo take measurements too.
All macros hit, steps hit and fbw done. -boom

Well it’s safe to say the doms have arrived, I’ll need a crane to get me out of the bed tomorrow

Ouch.

I think totm has arrived. I'm a bit grouchy and hungry. The pan was bubbling in an irritating way earlier

Yeah, say you’re right life, when inanimate objects cause the rage - it’s likely the joy of totm is imminent!
I remembered something that pissed me off last Tuesday, I did a quick weigh in before I left and I was 166.6 - so the fact I’m 163.2 today is really good.
Hit my macros, just over 13,000 steps, may or may not get 15,000

It was just fucking bubbling with the wrong, annoying noise, bastard Bolognese.......

I was doing well. Then I binged. Ffs.

Two rice crispy cakes
A twirl
A mini chocolate roll.

🤦🏽‍♀️

I was irritated this evening when I find only one sausage left in my pack of loughnanes skinny sausages & discovered au pair fed then to dc, in reflection she didn't know there's loads of normal sausages in freezer for dc

I ate the remaining one in a slimster to find off my cals & it was unreal 😉
Sausage sandwich & loss weight 😂

That is irritating happier.

Today will be a challenge. Lunch out. Chicken gougons and a beef burger seen to be the least damaging

Weight up 0.2lb. Not surprised still annoyed with myself although before that binge I still had 400 cals left so shouldn't have been over that much?

Anyway today will be hard. Have to sit in training alllllllll day. Will take loads of healthy snacks, water and coffee. Will try to exercise once I'm home but might have to do it when everyone else is eating dinner 🤔

Down 1.2 this morning - hallelujah! 162 and very pleased. Shame about the sausages happier, my kids think my low fat sausages taste like rubber (from Aldi, think they’re similar? Around 47 cals each?) so they’d been safe here. I like them despite them being a bit chewy - but tell me about yours maybe they’re much nicer? Mine have decent protein too - over 6 grams
.2 is 90 grams wreck, it’s just a bit of food/fluid in your system. It’s the weight of a very small apple. Speaking of beige food I’m having a treat of beige dinner, sausage in batter with a small portion of oven chips & curry sauce. Around 400 cals 😋 I’ll have to get my nutrition in earlier

@not I bought the loughnanes ones first 80cals brilliant, then did the switch to aldi ones, and your dc are correct they're horrible. Loughnanes are €3 for 6 on offer but well worth it for almost 11g protein and one is enough for a sausage sandwich as they're jumbo. They also do a chicken, sundried tomato and mozz sausage it's nice for sausage stew type meal.

What sausage do you buy? I only have them every few weeks.

Ooh beige dinner! I'm having steak & chips & pepper sauce after a nice long run with a friend this evening.

Scales 156.3 - down from 157.2 last two days so average only dropped 0.1

wreck are you feeling better about your shape & your health? Don't get bogged down in the scales xx

Where's jam? @justanothermile

I miss jam too.

Not really happier all I can see in the mirror is my belly! My arms are looking good though 💪🏽

My belly is reducing but arms not so much & sleeveless top in a month first time ever my arms have gone soft.

Rowing machine is being included in every gym session for next 4 weeks
