Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss - 2020 part 2

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to continue our chat

I forwent the chocolate brownie and ice team for 2 rich tea and ginger biscuits. Still got 76 to play with. Oooo

Haha! Thanks guys, I didn’t get the takeaway but I did have a taste. Yeah week and a half sounds about right😂

Seriously though, my mfp looks like some sort of eating competition

I'm not weighing until tomorrow and even then I might not record it

Anyway today I'm doing a roast chicken and I'll have mine with salad as it's that kind of weather 😎

I'm up today by .5 but had lots of salt yesterday and only 9800 steps

I've done it not. I've put on the pod a softer version of my real thoughts. chickened out a bit

Well f’it, you’re entitled to be honest as a customer! But my gosh, there’s a lot of emperors new clothes chatter about it for sure.
Just back from a bit of a jog and walk, trying to reintroduce a bit of jogging. That’s my second time this week. Barely more than a walk but it makes me feel a bit fitter. Off to shower & weigh, totally cheating but is trying to sweat off bloat earned from wine/crisps and chocolate a bad thing????
😉

I've also said I don't like it on the public page. Waits for the boom.

I'm getting into the habit of doing aerobics before the day dates. Gets my 5-6 k steps in the bag.

And no. I often do a bloat pummel via fitness. Just remember to bring more more water so you don't make the cycle worse.

Bring = drink

Just weighed lost 1lb! Very happy as haven't been recording my food this week. No really bad food but not great either. Will catch up once I've made my tea!

Hurrah nocuts! That’s excellent
Up .4 this week using 4 weigh ins as the basis for this. It’s totally fair enough, with great luck I might be able to pull it back this week.
First week in 5 I haven’t had to do a family help thing so I’m going to relax today. Tomorrow might be a big spike but I’ll take the advice life and up the water. Need to start doing that regardless, I’m a disaster with water

Well done nocuts

I’m really struggling with motivation this week. Eating gone a bit wrong and still struggling to find the will to exercise! I have a feeling it will catch up with me tomorrow

Hi guys!

You are all smashing it!
I on the other hand, am not. I've still been exercising everyday, but my eating has been immense! Lots of snacks, which really needs to stop, I've got shopping coming later, so I'm going to meal plan and then plan some more!

My weight has been bouncing between 11s10 and 11s12, so not great, need to just sort it out really.

I've put all of my food into MFP for the day. I find that it really helps to have it set out in black and white.

You’re still the right side of 12 stone curvy, so you’re not doing too much damage. Totally agree about meal planning to help. Been listening to a podcast where they talk about 3 plates, 2 snacks a day as an alternative to calorie counting - not necessarily all the time either. You can eat like that a few days a week. I was wondering if that’d work for me Monday-Thursday, but I dunno.
Sunday’s seem to be my sit back & ponder my dieting mishaps! And think of something new to try for the following week. Ultimately looking for something that’ll help me eat less
Motivation is tough these days lane, I have none. All I have is moments of “get the f’up eedjit” from time to time and that sometimes helps. Having minimum step goals means I push to get out for a walk - if I’m walking I’m not eating for a change. Of course I’m lucky enough to be able to do that, I know not everyone else is.
Just saw you say you’re doing your aerobics early life, that’s a great idea

Motivation is difficult. Don't think I have to do exercise think I shall go for a walk. Start with any movement and it shall build from there lane. I get a lot of mine from family walks. Two birds one stone.

You will get it back curvy. Add wreck says plan plan plan.

Well done not. Get drinking water.
No come back on my posts.

I had an early lunch as was hungry. Tuna salad with 0% total yogurt and berries. Plus more coffee

You must have hit the acceptable level of critique, bravo 😉

Thanks guys!
Dd and I met my friend and her son at the park for a socially distant catch up while the kids had a kick about, so got my steps in! 12839, not too shabby!

Yes I think if I put all of my food in mfp it will help, really liking the idea of the plates as well!

That sounds like a great day, I’ve a social distance kids meeting planned for tomorrow. Girls are really looking forward to it. Fabulous day here, drinks in the garden - lush

Made crumble and custard so 171 over. Just short of 13k steps

Good day here. Just have to stay good for the next three hours.... might have a chocolate rice cake?

I want to eat the world today. Will have another drink of squash

Wow wreck, that looks so beautiful! I’m craving chips...
