Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weigh t loss - 2020 part 1

[Not2bObvious]

New thread for 2020 since we didn’t finish the old one by year end

379 cals over yesterday - a Lindor egg & a Jameson & Pepsi Max entirely necessary after a 'discussion' re division of proceeds of house & maintenance, actually the lindor didn't help like I thought it would. Jameson did though

Sts this morning probably flux tomo.

Grocery shopping this evening. Freezer food to the minimum because going from 8 drawers to 3 in two weeks. Want to continue using 3 Dunnes vouchers so will stock up on washing capsules if I'm under the money. I know wrong thread but kind of related!

You can do without sleep if you've enough food but you can't do without both at the same time. Is there any kind of alarm like a bed wetting one that your dd could wear curvy

Life one day at a time sweet Jesus (music emoticon)

No wonder you’re not sleeping well curvy, and tiredness coupled with worry make dieting v difficult. Staying in a kind of maintenance mode would be ideal until you’re in a stronger place. Hope your dd is doing ok.
I have an msg hangover, woke at 3am and then couldn’t get properly back asleep and was up at 6. Scales up as predicted and after entering all my food into mfp it’s not surprising. Anyway it’s out of my system now, just need to keep well hydrated & stick to my calories. It’s simple, just not always easy. It is going to be a lonnnnngggggg day

Happier and in equal measure. Is it going to be as tough as you thought this last step?

Not, it's as you say msg. Lots of water to flush it through.

Down today but we will see. There will be home made cheesecake in my life on Friday....mmmm

Extremely tough life sure that's who I'm dealing with, bf has been a great sounding board, plus I talked to my mother too.

Stay strong my lovely. One last step then it's done. X

That's exactly it - I was talking to bf last night about a thing to stop draft coming down chimney and he says to me 'would you rather listen to the chimney howl or your man howl' he just has the knack for making me smile!

Wise words from bf

I've gone 200 over today as I felt really unwell and hungry.
Me average calories for the last 4 days is 1759 R3. I've done 15k steps each day and lost about 1lb. I know it's meant to be week on week but in going to stick to between 16-1800 and be ok with that. Then see

200 over is feck all, and as you said you’re still within your cals on average. I think you have to go with the flow some data/weeks, nothing is carved in stone.
Highest amount of steps today, over 13,500. Blooming starving now though, around 250 left so not all is lost. Pity all I want is crisps & chocolate, will have to find something a bit more filling

I've been sniffing the biscuits at work. Much to the amusement of my team

That reminds me of a weight loss patch thing I bought, kid you not it was a scratch & sniff thing that was meant to help with cravings. And here we are...so I guess it wasn’t much cop!

And I’m around 500 over, ouf, will have to turn this week around tomorrow.

139 left stuffed after dinner so might not use them, I did go way over last night after all.

Not have you ever bought fresh fish from Dunnes? Today was my first time, lemon pepper salmon darnes in a cook in the bag bag, steams the fish, famous & 2 lovely sized fillets for €6. Think I'm going to make shopping day fish day for dinner because it can be cooking while I'm doing shop & scan.

No I haven’t but that sounds lovely happier, I reckon having a fish day once a week is a great way of getting decent protein & low cals. I find salmon super filling. Great to bank a few cals too.
Had to put myself to bed, I’m so much safer out of the kitchen vicinity.

That should have said fabulous not famous

I'd fish twice yesterday just thinking tuna for lunch & salmon for dinner

-0.9lbs this morning

Down a bit more this morning. Raining here so going to get a lift to work but will do pump at lunch and walk back.
Won't get 15k as Zumba tonight is looking doubtful due to DH work

That’s great happier & life. Been for a walk before my shower so 8,000 steps done, takes a bit of pressure off the rest of the day. I’ll weigh in a few minutes, hoping it’s better news than yesterday, which didn’t make it into the Fitbit app

Down a bit but still up in the overall average by .9 - decided to add in yesterday’s high as well, on track for a gain.

I can’t subtract, it’s 1.9 up - jasus

Everyone down a bit, that's positive - wish my lifestyle was as exercise filled as yers, maybe I should get a bike for coming to work when I move to bought house. It's 3.9 miles, I don't like cycling though.

I wouldn’t get a bike if you don’t like cycling. Can be dangerous too. I wish I could do more than walk, I suppose I should be thankful I can do that at least.

There's zero traffic on the road when I go to work but still I hate cycling, it would be exercise incorporated into my daily routine though.

I suppose you could get a second hand bike and sell it on if it wasn’t for you. Save on fuel/wear & tear on car etc. Be taking your life in your hands where I am to cycle.
