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

I remember having to wear suits, I remember my first job the “girls” were expected to wear skirts. As one of v few “girls” in a predominantly male environment I bloody hated it

Oh not how awful

Well done Happier. I tried some work trousers on tonight which haven't fitted for ages and I could definitely wear them now although I'm going to wait until they are more comfortable
life you definitely have to make the most of a hotel brekkie funded by work.

So after eating all the calories for everyone up 3lb today.
Back on track except for a piece of carrots cake later

It’ll be gone in a couple of days life
Finding it hard not having access to my own scales(s) Jeans this morning are grand & comfy, didn’t have time to do my waist measurement or try on goal shorts - maybe tomorrow morning I’ll have a spare 10 mins. Under cals & over steps for 2 days, 4 weeks to my next trip away.

It's a great feeling isn't it north worth so much more than any number on the scales.

Scales sts this morning

life you're in a happy place now with your weight so I hope it doesn't impact you as much when you see a flux like that.

not I find it hard when I go to my parents and haven't got my scales, and they have one I can use but it's not the same as mine

I can see me breaking into his car to free the scales(s) Sodding Lent! I have this fear that when I do weigh in, it’ll be a flux day and I’ll have seen no progress.
Of course the fact that my actual body should show progress is wasted on me, hoping to accept that soon. And how will I know if I’m in good or bad mood without the sad step🤣

Or buying a new one in secret

Us weighing daily probably doesn't help you, maybe tape measurement of your waist each day?

Have contemplated a trip to stand on the Boots scales but sadly they don’t open at 6am or would they welcome a naked woman hopping on it!
I’ll defo do the waist measurements but not daily. I’m more thinking daily tracking how clothing feels. Gosh how addicted am I though?

All the calories eaten again. So much going on this week. Will go for lest damage until Monday

Steps and. Fbw done though

Ive 200 left
Having a can of monster saves me from myself some Thursdays

That’s great happier, money in the bank!
I’m overdrawn. Had the first moment of scales freedom when I wasn’t worried how the salt would affect the weight. Of course it didn’t stop me before

Hurrah for Friday! Its felt like a long weekend despite only working 4 days. Trying to plan my food for the next 3 days, increased fibre a fair bit & so far it’s been v good (although not without challenges...the dreaded wind) Would like to stick to cals fairly tightly, that’s always a challenge over the weekend.
Anyone doing anything nice?

Down a bit on yesterday bit but still bloated. More water and fibre here today.
Usual rock and roll life here this weekend. Running round after DC and food shopping.

Actually no. Pub lunch Sunday for fil 80th and I'm making the cake.
Nigella carrot walnut and ginger. Mmmmm

Did my waist measurement and up around .75 of an inch from before my few days away. Goal shorts fasten fine but I’d have to stand! Work to be done

Sts here

No plans for weekend- cancelled going out with the girls because was sick with sinus infection

Bf sick again too

Sick back in hospital or at home. Sorry to hear that.

All the calories again here but steps and fbw done too

Sorry to hear that Happier.
Resisted a Friday chippy tea here as have been good today. Powerwave class this morning, circuits yesterday. May have wine later.

At home currently the question is now is it the original infection or recurrent infections?
He got ill at work before I arrived & when I got there my boss just said go & do what you need to do with him, so I did. He's being referred to a respiratory consultant and I'll go to that appointment with him whenever it comes up.

Sausage sandwich on seeded bread, sausages in airfryer.
Goats cheese salad & garlic bread for lunch.
King prawns with chorizo, brown rice and sliced green beans for dinner

Walking dog now and lindor egg & small tub of indulgent ice cream in front of tv when I get home.

Hope he’s ok happier
Just over 17,000 steps, bit over on cals. Might end up a bit more but not worried

Aargh I need to find my Fitbit charger tomorrow!

40 min walk with dog, now down watching the waves while listening to some instastories

Up 1.5 this morning
