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

[Not2bObvious]

Starting thread 3 early

Oh no it's three weeks. That should work well. The summer holidays are going too quickly already...

Is it wrong to cheer a period arrival. Yeah anyway.

New day today you two. Come on.
It will be too hot to eat anything other than ice cream. Track the tub full now and that's your day.

Clearly not serious advice.

Oh and 1/2 down. Can't see my average as Garmin app is still down

Wahoooo wreck 🔴🔴🔴🔴

I’m taking the kiddos for a “breakfast picnic” in the park and for a play date with friends. Mini mini mini croissants grapes and juice boxes. Maybe an ice cream if they’re good.

Ds couldn’t wait though so we’re having toast and apples now. 😂

I’ve paid for my chips and extra calories with a gain of 1.4 on yesterday. Isn’t that just f**king dandy? I know I know....

I think I might be slipping into a bad weekend - haven’t eaten yet but also have barely taken a step as chained to laptop. Might make a mini fry to get some comforting protein into me. Could stave over madness 🤷‍♀️

Have the mini fry up as healthy as possible. Least damage if it's slipping away. Lots of water for the bloat and combat the heat.

I actually managed to hold off eating til after a walk to the shops. Have nearly 8,500 and had a high fibre roll with Linda sausage & a rasher. So only 280 cals in so far. Steak & prawns planned for dinner. Going to drag my ass back on the wagon, I was dangling for a sec! Did a sneaky re-weigh after my walk even though I’d had 2 cups of tea this morning, back to 161 like yesterday so a very temp gain. Thanks for the hand holds life, this threads a diet saver😉

Missed your update about losing a half pound life, woohoo! Nice one.
Glad totm eventually arrived wreck, don’t give in go to maintenance worst, we can do it!

I just need my own advice now.
Mini magnum, Pringle and Aldi chocolate today. Ah well. 11 k steps

Any time not

Was it the almond chocolate by any chance, i absolutely love that one 😋
I discovered the skinny whip/skinny crunch bars, really nice for between 70-95 cals, they have a fair bit of fibre. They’re not a patch on the real deal but they do the job when I’m being good

It sure was. That's what happens when shopping while hungry..
I've heard of those but not tried them not.

Surprisingly nice life, the whipped ones are nougaty which I love

I won't tell you my steps or what I've eaten today but ds has done 23569 steps

Good for him! He’ll sleep tonight for sure. My girls have pals over having a (hugely noisy) whale of a time, ending soon. I am on on 🍷

Piggy day today. That's my holiday blow out and I don't care

Good, own it and enjoy it, absolutely no guilt needed.
Kids overtired and emotional, phones confiscated, murder. Fml

12002 steps today. Not as many as I’d hoped for but hit my target.

Fruit for breakfast
Mini mini pastries for breakfast picnic in the park.
Chicken nuggets and salad at dms for lunch with the kids
Pizza for dinner
Ice lolly
Glass of wine

Not brilliant. Not weighed as am on period and it’s too depressing

Have decided though I’m giving up booze until my birthday. From tomorrow until October. I’m drinking too frequently again so need to cut back. Empty calories innit.

We have events between now and October but I can drive to them so I can just have nice soft drinks.

That step count wreck 😱🏆

I think the hanger may actually win out this evening. I’ve managed 19 fasts in a row (most 16h but a few less) and I’m going to try and sleep I think as if I eat now it’s going to be rubbish 😳

Dreadful night sleep between the heat and too full. .
Aerobic class and walk so on 8500 so far. Camping tonight so BBQ but will take decent stuff

How many times a week are you fasting sing?

You got 12k thought em.

2lb spike today for me. Not unexpected

That's a lotta steps wreck ds

A spike of a pound here too, very normal for me. Bit the bullet & inputted the last 2 Friday weights (only putting Fridays in the Fitbit app) so I’m down 3.4 on last week post holiday weigh in. Up 2lb from lowest.
Got up and did a walk so just over 9,000 done, slept funny so my backs bothering me. Going to lie down & rest, aka YouTube/Mumsnet/Netflix 😂
Out to dinner tonight. Tomorrow’s weigh in will be...interesting

That I did! 3942 already this morning. Not bad for a lazy Saturday. I’ve taken the dc out for a walk and we stopped for a coffee.

Phewwww I managed to sleep and not break the fast, and slept in till nearly 10 😱 cagletini does not sleep well so this is rare.

Life atm I’m just trying to do it every day, but not managed 16h for a few days now because period hanger 😳 if I want a day “off” I’m setting the timer for 12h instead as I think if I ignore it altogether I’ll give up. I’m not sure what I’ll aim for long term! I’ll carry on as much as I can for now and see how the weight goes.

Ordered a resistance band yesterday and next month I’m getting an aerobics step. What is happening to me 🤣

Impressed by all the step counts. I am really not active in day to day life TBH. Trying to plan some activities for the holidays now just to get us out and about!

11601 steps so far now.
