Frugaleers - August 21 onwards

[Not2bObvious]

New thread! Time to get our act together

Happier Gen put it so well , l so want to echo her sentiments to you.
DM me if there’s anything I can do in RL. I’m in Monmouthshire.

Gen l am praying to God this works for you both. I know we all are

Thanks mrs I’m already feeling very tired with the progesterone injections and pessaries and I’ll be on them until 26th at earliest 😵‍💫
Just keeping busy, trying to rest and not stress.

I feel tired just looking at what you have to do gen, use this time to be extra nice to yourself. I'm thinking if I was told no fasting, I'd read that as no dieting and go to generous maintenance and eat really yummy nutritious foods in non diet quantities. I've hit my calorie limit now, and I could just keep going. Awake since 4am so I'm hungry all day. I'll have to surf it out

Gen it won't matter if you get pregnant and if not then you will be one step closer. The odds are getting better every time❤️

Not great stuff resisting the call of the food 🤗

Thanks mrs, feeling in the zone so it's not too bad. But already thinking about breakfast!

I’m eating my feelings. Have a bad headache and don’t want want to do Zumba tonight. Will it make me feel
Better? Le sigh

Did my jog much later than normal and it was surprisingly ok.
I don't think I've ever madly regretted a workout life, if I haven't felt well I just haven't done it. Give yourself permission to skip it if you're well. Exercise shouldn't be a punishment - or at least that's what they say! Years of treating it as one is hard for me to break for sure

Should have said not well but you've probably gathered that. I wish I knew how to cure hungry feelings, feelings that need dampening by sugary/salty food. Funny how they never need broccoli to push them down...

Only if it’s broccoli in choc

I love broccoli and not bothered for chocolate. My downfall is crisps.

I had a shitty day yesterday and a long one today. My knee hurts so I am resting it. So no weigh in this morning..... Curiosity got the better of me this afternoon and I was only 86.1. fingers crossed for hitting 85s on Sunday.

Quick check in. Seem to be steady at 243 pounds so 21 down. Have a party weekend ahead so will do well to maintain, but will definitely enjoy!

Despite eating and drinking everything on site again this week I've cancelled Pilates tonight as I am exhausted and pissed off and just cannot be bothered. I need to give myself a good shake. Work has been horrid this week and I had a 12 hour day yesterday and need to work part of my day off tomorrow so I'm eating (and drinking) my feelings

wolf I’m with you - I’ve eaten a massive donut, two biscuits and a bowl of ritz crackers while waiting for DH to cook dinner 😱 I’m just raging and cold and hormonal.
Friday mornings are a real bastard for me now as I was forced to take an 8am remedial class so I now teach 8am-1245 rather than 9-1245 which is a big ask for me right now feeling so tired.

Gen that is a toughie bless you
I feel the cold tonight but l think like you it's tiredness.
Seems we are all feeling a bit MEH Wolf bless you !
Hope your knee is better soon Unescorted
Great stuff Not
Life hope you head is better now
North well done !
l am ok today , had eggs on toast about 1ish and they really filled me up , l must try this again

Seems like some of us have a case of the nibblies tonight - I'll see y'all & raise you with....white wine, nuts, crisps, red wine, chocolate. To be fair, 3 small glasses so half a bottle in total, 30gr of nuts, skinny crisps and a bit of a bar of choc. Hit 2,000 for the day. Not too bad considering what I fit in.
I swear by eggs on toast mrs, I add a few extras but eggs are the game changer - nature's fast food I heard someone call them before, love it

Yes Not l am surprised how good they were and how quick and easy to make you are right! They will be on the menu again!
Very good total cals for all that you had, great restraint!

I also had nibbles last night broke out a Lidl bar I'd got for the toy show, dc will be with their dad that night anyhow, shared a bottle of wine with dm & got taco fries from a takeaway.

The only thing I enjoyed was the chocolate.

Not that was quite restrained of you well done

Thanks for the kind words

I had a busy October and had planned a quiet November but I couldn't have imagined our last night out together on 30th would be our last night out together.
Your poor niece mrsmadevans
I'm in ROI guys xx

I went to the pub last night (2 pints & feel rough this morning..... ) Pizza for dinner. Not a good night - the damage is 86.4.

happier - it is a strange feeling where everyone's life rushes on, but you need to touch the last moments together. I find remembering the good times quite comforting, even when I know they aren't going to happen again. If you want to fix the memories feel free to tell us about the night out in detail.

gen just there you made me realise why I could not be a teacher.

wolf - hope you have a less stressful day.

Mrs eggs are amazing.

Morning everyone 😀
Have a blinking headache which is killing me ATM 🙄
Was it the eggs 🤣🤣
Happier l hope you are able to get some sleep lovely. 💐
Thank you re my neices DH such a shock that seems to have repercussions for a very long time 😔
Unescorted enjoy the weekend with your Dd 🤗
Feeling sick now God l hope it's not a megraine sorry to be so mememe 🙄
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

mrs hope you feel better soon

happier thinking of you 💕

I just decided to let one class go 5 mins early and have a break, I can’t teach 4 lessons in a row with not even a loo stop!

That's so unfair unescorted, 2 pints is hardly going mad. My threshold for hangovers has drastically reduced, I could easily have been hanging after my half bottle of wine last night but my 3 pints of squash seemed to help swerve it. Bloody hell though, went to bed sloshing!
Still hanging onto the 165's by the skin of my teeth, the 163.6 of last week is a distant memory. I think I lose weight one week a month, the rest I fluctuate. Any who moany bugger me. Got my body pump done so on track.
Oh no mrs, I hope you're ok? You're the least me me person, you're always about everyone else. I hope you can take it easy today.
I hope you're ok happier, as much as you can be, if you don't mind me asking have they had any services yet for your bf? (We do all this within a couple of days in Ireland for the most part - I know UK it's a couple/few weeks) I always found that side of life very tough, but somewhat of a hurdle to get beyond. You must still be in such shock

Thank you so much Gen & Not l am much better now , it's been bad all day though l think it's stress tbh
Hope everyone is doing ok and am thinking of you too Happier

I am so cheered to have DD back. She looks like a stick she has lost so much weight. There is going to be lots of cake and crap in this house for the next week. The priority is to get her fit again. She ate without throwing up for the first time in 2 weeks.... She thinks it is down to stress. Poor mite.
