Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss - 2020 part 3

[Not2bObvious]

Starting thread 3 early

Dragged my ass out of bed and did an hours walk before hotel brekkie. I think my plans to return to 1668 was a bit ambitious, diner lunch put paid to that! But nearly 13,000 so that’s something. I’m wrecked

My steps are low. I did Pilates this morning and yesterday though.

You've got good steps not, hotel breakfasts are the best!

Oh they are, not as much opportunity for gluttony with CV19 changes but still managed to fill my boots 😋

Ending on 1205 (hopefully!) was less but dropped dd at a friends and stayed for a glass of wine, dh knew as soon as I got home, my cheeks go red after one sip

10800 steps but my back is knackered from lifting boxes

Anniversary today. 9 years married.

Dh and I went for dinner. Chilli beef woth noodles, steak and chippies, lemon tart, two g&t and a bottle of red shared.

I’m not even going to bother mfp today! 😂

Happy anniversary em, sounds delicious.
Nearly wasn’t going to weigh, hold off til tomorrow but since I wasn’t going to record it why not. Up from 161.2 on Tuesday to 164.4, around 1lb a day on. I’ve had my fun so now back to normal. Should have to back down by next Friday.

Happy anniversary em that meal sounds delicious

Pleased you're having a good time not

0.2 down. Today is food shop day aka treat day. Lidl bakery here I come

I’m like a weirdo at the lidl bakery, I sort of hover and salivate😂 The fact they publish their nutritional information is brilliant, can be v hard to calorie count baked goods.
Working on planning my shopping as the cupboards are practically bare, working as well today so that’ll make for a busy day and have to ferry kids to/from activity. It’ll be good for keeping my mind off eating

Been on plan all week even though I made chocolate and rolo cookies and hm bread and 3 different types of jam. I tried a corner of a cookie just to know (new recipe) but then stopped. This dieting is hard but I have a lot to lose, Covid doesn’t like fatties and I have so many nice too-small clothes, I am feeling fairly motivated. Making the most of it while it lasts!

Weigh day tomorrow. I’m hoping today’s haircut will help

Garmin is down so can't see my average. Or input steps

Are you still following the plan from your gym life?
Great work on resisting the nibbles sea, a nice wardrobe and avoiding potentially deadly disease great incentives😉

In theory yes not I am. In practice no I'm not

Fair enough, you’re getting results whatever you’re doing.
Just finished a protein shake, hopefully it’ll keep me going til dinner

My treat day turned into a binge day. Ah well. It's just reminded me that it's not worth the biscuits, they tempt me when I see them in the shop but really I don't enjoy them enough to justify eating them.

Just track it wreck, it’s probably not as bad as you think - it evens out over the week I sometimes find.
In shite form, got a knock back for a job application. Maybe it was a good thing, bloody application form took me hours to complete. Just disappointed

Sorry to hear that not.
It's working in a fashion though as Garmin apparently had a cyber attack need another tracker site

IKWYM wreck. So tantalising but so not worth it

I have 49 calories left😩

I'm just writing off today and starting again tomorrow. Tracking will just depress me and isn't worth it. Onwards and upwards (plus I had a really good week so I don't feel too bad about it). I'm going to do a full ok work out tomorrow too so I'll feel better about it after that I'm sure.

Me too wreck. Multiple crisps, chocolate bicycles, m&m chocolate, chipper tea.

Tomorrow

Ponders if this is life

Haha no it's not me but I wish... Mmmm chocolate

Reasonable day today. But no exercise. Tested as much as I could as exhausted. Haven’t tracked anything yet. Nowhere near my12000 steps.

Reasonable here too but only 9,000 steps, oh well could have been worse. 2 days out of 5 within calorie limit
Be interesting to see if there’s any drop tomorrow in weight 🤔

I'm not weighing today I know it'll only annoy me. I'm going to do a fbw today and eat well plus plenty of water.
