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

All gone now though

Proper wintery looking there.
I’m pooped, in work from just after 7 but only for 5 hours. Awake from 5. Lots of running around this avo. Around 400 cals left

Only calories left for a brew. It's gonna be a long night. Trying to get to 10k steps by marching.
First day back tiredness here

Pushed myself to just over 14,000 steps and am banished to bed so I don’t eat my last 80 cals - that I probably already ate after underestimating cals, I’ve a feeling my breakfast sausages might have been more pricey than the cals I gave them. And I’ve just remembered I never logged the beans I had, yep that’s me over.

I got to 10k steps and 1600 calories today ish.
Done.

Hi all.
Wifi has been a bit pants.
Steps yesterday and today over 17,000 on both days.
Food has been good, really tired after first day back to work. Heading to bed in a bit.

I didn't track today but definitely over my calories, tomo will be better but will have pancakes for dinner

Got up at 5am and made a lot of pancakes, got 3,000 steps before I had to leave just after 6. Scales up by .2, irritating. I’m up to 163 at the moment, had hoped to see a drop but no joy. Might put it away until I’m back after my break, it’s only depressing me at the moment. I wish it didn’t rule me so much

Major flux this morning I'm just ignoring it!!

Had a pancake with dc

Ds is the one that's upset about house move now

Ahh poor kid - poor you trying to handle it.

Oh dear. It's a big change for all of you. Big hugs. X

107 over and 8g short of protein. Roses chocolates y this afternoon. Will get everything else though

Seriously if calories were money I’d be damn near bankrupt. The irony of being on a thread with the word frugal is not lost on me. I’m allowing 2000 today as I knew I’d never manage on 1700 and I reckon I’ll still be short. And it’s all been carbs, so I’ll probably be up 10lb tomorrow if I dare weigh!
My eldest was only a toddler when we moved so we didn’t have any upset, not sure how they’d react if we moved now - must be tough

At least it would be frugal if you can't afford to eat... And thin..

Consider it a carb refeed and move on. Don't weight tomorrow as you can get an average 5/7. Sew your mouth shut and all's well.

Deep breath not and reset.

I think I'm going to take life's advice too

Pancakes are life

Salmon in bag for dinner tomorrow so that'll be on track.
Freezer is tiny in rented house,

I'm an extra 126 over so 1833 today. Got a chocolate biccie craving and no amount of do something else and have a drink was working.

Hugs happier.

I'm not religious but always do lent. So this year I'm going to give up all unhealthy snacking, which will be tough, especially in the staff room!
But it will force me to plan better!

Tonight is the first slimming world meeting, so after that I'm going to pop to the shop and buy a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar! I figured if this was going to be the last day that I'm going to eat snacks, it will be a couple of my favourites!

Curvy I like your style

Leader I previously took over a unislim class from is starting there again thurs eve & I debated it for a moment but thurs is my night with dc & I'm making a little progress with weight loss this year & managed away for first six months of last year on my own so not doing it!

Ooh let us know how you get on curvy, I’m close to considering a slimming club or lifes suggestion of sewing my gob up😬
I had a fair few pancakes too happier, if I didn’t have to cook them I’d have them a lot more. It always feels like you cook for ages & they’re gone in seconds...which is pretty much what happens. I used to drop drink for lent, haven’t done that in a couple of years and won’t be doing it with a few days away coming up.

Nice one curvy. Giving it a go on SW after all?

Did you have much success with unislim happier? Seems ages since you did that.

Hi all, slimming world was ok and I met a friend, (well we used to chat when our eldest dc were at a playgroup and would stop and chat if we saw each other), from years ago, I haven't seen her in about 4 years so that was nice to re connect with her.
All the members seemed ok. It was mostly common sense really.
My consultant wasn't there because he was at the theatre, but the one that was there was his consultant.
My weight on their scales was 12s 4.5lb, which I guess is ok considering I wasn't naked and already eaten all the food.
Just finishing off my crisps, chocolate and coke .

Steps today 20321.
B- pancakes with sugar and lemon coffee and then another coffee when I got to work.
L- vegan tuna, (sesame and ginger flavour) sandwich, mixed berries and grapes, alpro chocolate dessert. Lots of water at work today.
Coffee at staff meeting.
D- tacos
S- crisps, choc and coke

Life I'd lost most of my weight with ww prior to becoming a unislim leader, I guess I just maintained while I was at it, couldn't lose weight after ds though. It's probably 4 years since I did it

Dd told me the pancake mix was ok but she likes my pancakes better
