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

[Not2bObvious]

Starting thread 3 early

Rubbish sleep, haven’t weighed yet but hopeful a bit of bloat might have disappeared. Slept funny and my face looks like a crumpled paper bag! Need to drink more water

Down 1.4, 1.8 to get to prebreak weight (161.2) 4 to get back to last Saturday (159)
I’ll up the water today, keep simple carbs low like I did yesterday. 3 days on, 3 weeks off probably!

Well done!

I’m not weighing till tomorrow. I’ve measured my waist, thigh and arm (after a bingo wing discussion with a friend :o) so I can start measuring those too.

I definitely feel less huge and I had a very happy NSV yesterday! I really struggle with some arm exercises but suddenly found I could do a new one for a full minute without any struggle at all! Woohoo!

I need to meal plan for frugality as well as health! Today’s fast is harder than usual. 1h25 to go.

That's great lane! I remember being so happy when I could do the harder exercise rather than the easier moves. Back to easy ones at the moment.

Great loss not you'll get back in no time.

I just did this one it's my favourite one

Well done lane on the nsv & especially feeling more positive, go you!
Thanks wreck, trying not to catastrophes the gain - logically I know it’s just temporary. If I can continue to stick to 1668 today & tomorrow it’ll help get me back to 159, if I’m honest I want to see 158 by next Friday😉

Hi all!
Wreck any sign of your period yet?
I've done the beginner one of that exercise, actually need to get back to it!

Well done Lane on the NSV, I think we need to remember those too.
I had one yesterday too, I got a cardie in a medium from primark but it's too big. Arms are really baggy on it and it doesn't do anything for me really.
Now I know that a lot of it is vanity sizing so I try not to get too excited about it!
I do have a couple of items in my wardrobe that are a true 16 and 18, so I sometimes dig those out and compare new items to those, so I know I'm losing weight but sometimes it can be so demoralising, can't it?

Not, glad you enjoyed your time away and you will see those 150's in no time!

Off track last 3 days. CBA frankly.

Nope! It'll come when I go away with dh for the night won't it? Or when I go to get a bikini wax? Apparently I have to wait three months before I see a GP.

I find primark pretty true to size.

I had a nap! Got into bed and everything

Life, I'm trying hard to stick to things, always find it hard when I'm not at work, but really appreciate the break!

Wreck, of course it will! But I hope it doesn't turn up when you and Dh are away.

I just wish I could curvy. I need to dedicate some head space to this and jfdi..

Ahh Life, I feel you, it's so hard!

Tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow back on it

You can do it life!

I'm on 1100. I want to eat another low carb brownie but I've already had three (they're small!).

Yep, will be joining you life.

We can’t mess this up if we don’t give up. Bad days are just that, they pass

Slightly off track here. Have eaten two packs of colon caterpillar sweeties. Two cupcakes that Dm made and a huge portion of curry. And two g&ts.

No chocolate though....

But hey ho. Back on it tomorrow. I am still at the 75kg mark. So at least nothings going up. My goal is to continue losing and get to 70kg. I want to reach 65 as I was pre pregnancy with ds. But that’ll
Take time. So small goals. If I can his 73 kg by September I’ll be happy.

Also wreck sorry no period yet. Frustrating!

This has probably been said but you’re absolutely 100% sure you can’t be pregnant?

I’ve also just remembered we’re having bacon rolls tomorrow for breakfast. Must go for a walk/run of something in the morning.

Went for a ride today and have got my 12k steps

It's been a couple of months em I think. At least one period since maybe two (god poor dh, I must make more of an effort!) had a spare test and BFN

Fair enough wreck (same here too actually.....time wise....maybe more like 4....)

At least that’s ruled out!!!

The munchies hit me last night, flip sake! It’s done now, but it’s annoying when you’re feeling in the zone and next minute you’ve inhaled and extra 1,000 cals
Anyway, back to the plan. I’ll go for a long walk soon, plenty of water, high protein, not too much in the way of junk.

I'm not weighing today. Aching from fbw yesterday but will do Pilates later.

Weight today but wish I hadn't. Out at a NY place today. Pic nic tracked. Girding myself to do 30 mind aerobics now

Feck it, did a long post & lost it. Long and short, back to 161.2 which was pre break away weight. Very pleased, have nearly 12,000 steps as well. Enjoy the mind aerobics life😉 Have a lovely day out
I think it was a good idea to leave the scales today wreck, weights can make you retain water. The Pilates with help with the aches for sure

I'm in a horrendous mood. My sugar levels are high for no reason and it's making me feel (mentally) shit. Why bother eating well if that happens? It's like you guys sticking to 500 cals every day and waking up a stone heavier. That's how I feel. So now I just want to sit and eat crap because what's the point?

It’s horrible to feel like that wreck, clearly I can’t relate on the blood sugar but I get your weight analogy.
But if you go ahead and eat crap what happens to your blood levels? Is it the equivalent of me getting a gain and eating a ton of food, like having a flat tire & slashing the other 3. Maybe saying how you felt might go a way towards feeling better. Or maybe your totm is fast approaching & you’re suffering some pms that’s making it all feel worse.
