Frugaleers - August 21 onwards

[Not2bObvious]

New thread! Time to get our act together

Well the flux was real this morning 200.6lbs!!
And weirdly I wasn't hungry, nothing until lunchtime when I'd a chicken salad sandwich, in a zoom meeting now & I've been picking. Feeling a bit sinusy.

How are you now not?
Missing mon & wed's HIIT classes because of meetings, must walk instead, not today though

Bloody Monday flux will be the death of many a scale😡
Hopefully it's nothing lasting with the sinuses happier, I'm a leaky mess - cannot stop sneezing or wanting to sneeze, half my face seems in weird spasm - bloody odd dose. Really hope to sleep & feel a bit more human tomorrow. Ended the day just under 1600 but very dubious on the nutrition or fluids. The novelty of sickness has worn off. Not many offers of fluids this afternoon! Must be time for me to fend for myself, have overstayed my sick leave

not I am sorry to hear you’ve been unwell - DH had a really terrible cold which I mercifully escaped.
I managed a spin class today as well as my steps, feeling good!

Lucky on the cold dodging gen, that's excellent that you got spin & steps done. I'm on the mend for sure, not to the point where I can exercise, might cough up a lung if I tried. But I'm sure I'll get another walk in. I'll need to clear my head enough to do some work stuff - I'm very fuzzy

I think I’m coming down with the cold too. Not going to chance fitness today

Take it easy life, plenty of fluids. Down to 166.2 today which is nice to see, next milestone in Happy Scale is 164 - looking forward to seeing that in October. Need to
eat better today

I have made a Cauliflower , bacon and Camembert soup , it tastes lovely but it is awfully rich. A little goes a very long way
I couldn't face eating the soup so we had fish & chips instead !
I again made a huge restraint and only had a fish
Not & Life l hope you are feeling much better very soon
Waves at everyone

Hope everyone's feeling better today, I went swimming last night so chlorine cleared every orifice so I'm hoping sinuses will stay clear today.

Made flatbread pizzas for last nights supper after we came back from swimming so naturally there's a flux up.
M 200.6, T 199.7, W 201.3

Those pizzas look delicious happier, I think that's my dinner sorted for tonight.
Down .6 this morning, pleased to see the 165's again, but probably won't be for long if I have pizza for dinner! Although trying to get out of that mindset.
Thanks for the well wishes mrs, definitely on the mend - just a cough & a few aches left. This bout will put my c25k and weights back a few days but needs must. Really emphasises the need to get the calories levels right rather than worry too much about exercise burn. No longer having the Fitbit really helped me not to obsess or worry about my inability to move much.

I’m not doing great. Physiotherapist yesterday and I have tight calves and achillea not planted fascist feet.
Need more yoga Pilates based stuff
Feeling grott and got poorly child

Got an appointment for 13 Oct to review AD (more needed I think)
I’m toying with a kegal8 too

As In getting one

Oh dear that sounds painful, hope the child isn't too poorly. You're not having a great time at all, you poor pet. That's a bit of a wait for the doctor, I suppose it's the norm these days. Take it easy if you can

Great article on the Express about maintenance of weight loss l read earlier
www.express.co.uk/life-style/diets/1495148/weight-loss-real-life-diet-plan-secret-Slimming-world

I'm toying with the idea of some therapy life currently, hope you get the desired effect from increase in AD's this time of year is woeful for the mind. Yikes that's a long wait for the doctor, surely for mental health appointments it should be faster than that

Not hope pizza was good.

Had meal out tonight, monthly meeting of a voluntary role, found a piece of a plate in my curry, curry was delicious & venue is good, they handled it well.

That woman looks great mrs, I'd love a group thing although I'd be barred from
in around 5 minutes for being too sceptical about syns or points.
You still doing the Unislim thing happier or did I imagine that? The brain fuzz is strong with me. The pizza was excellent, bought based & added toppings, really tasty. Slightly higher cal day, a little over 1900. No chocolate for 3 days, but crisps are still a challenge. Scales up 1.2, but average is coming down

Just had to re-read that, you found a piece of plate in your food??? My gosh, that could have done some damage

Oh dear a plate in your food isn’t good
I did press the appointment as the whole waiting room was listening, just asked for a review
Wanna chat happier? I no therapist but you know where I am
No attempts at anything weight loss related here or fitness
In survival mode

Yes a piece of ceramic plate in my food

I actually cancelled my subscription to Unislim, I never even read the plan

I will listen to last weeks & this weeks talks.

I'm ok life just a couple of weeks ago you couldn't look at me without tears coming & in august when ex came into my workplace shouting the odds I just felt maybe I haven't come very far emotionally, like I know what I want & am happy with life but probably need to process all the things.

Sounds like your ex hasn't come very far, not you happier, what a pr*ck😡
I hope you're feeling better, being ok is a start

He's a narcissist he's never going to change but I was shaking afterwards, I never shook in all the time we were together, so I asked for a referral for counselling.

Evening everyone
I have been so busy , l can't keep up good for my diet though l hear you cry
Happier bless you lovely , yes definitely go for counselling if you can, it's very cathartic at least l found it was
A piece of crockery on your food , that's awful , l know accidents happened though but still & l suppose they dealt with it to your satisfaction , thankfully no harm done .....
Not l know she was amazing she reminded me of you because you never give up and are so determined

Awww thank you mrs, feeling on a bit of a roll albeit slow. I just calculated if I keep going at my rate, I'd be 2+ stone down by this time next year. The time will pass anyway so what's the rush, trying to sped it up hasn't worked, maybe slowing it down might work. I hope you're minding yourself though no matter how busy, no burn out or ruined back allowed
Oh happier, I totally get the fear, you get whatever help you can. I don't know where these narcissistic bastards are crawling out from but my god, there's a plethora of them.

Thank you Not 😊 l don't like to say too much but my back seems to be healing 🤗
I am almost too scared today anything but l have managed much better walking today 🤞😊
Re Narcs , have dealt with a couple recently. They are just the most awful people who you cannot believe a word they say .

Sorry to hear that happier and absolutely refer yourself. Ducking twat

Great to hear the back is healing.
Whatever physio did to me has really helped my feets

Slow and steady not. You sound more +ve anyway
