Frugaleers - August 21 onwards

New thread! Time to get our act together

Up a bit this morning too, as predicted with my carb fest of pizza. Well worth it though.
Body pump & a 20 min jog done before work, feeling my enthusiasm waning dramatically after weeks of slog. My happy scales has reset one of my goals as it's clearly taking me so long to lose, it's even moving the goalposts to cheer me up. Current weighloss is around .48-.49 a week. Lightening haha

Not it's progress all the same

Life I'd just have eaten them out of boredom or to avoid waste.

Have some bananas that either go in bin or into baking today. Thinking maybe this would make a nice Christmas dessert

That sounds nice if you like bananas and whisky

I like whiskey and caramel, bananas I can take or leave but I hate waste

I freeze bananas if I don't have something I want to put them in at that point. Can use them in baked oats, smoothie, or defrost and do cake stuff. Maybe an option?
Low calorie day just down to busyness although I could easily make it a high calorie one. Flossed/brushed my teeth to reduce the risk of that, filled in my journal so that's it, kitchen and guzzling gob shut.
Company over tomorrow so no harm to do a low day just in case I have cake or more likely wine

Urgh bananas

Gen that us wonderful news 😀👏👏👏
Been unable to get on to MN yesterday and today , finally on now of course ☺️

Hope everyone is ok l have been a good girl lol
Been busy took Mum to have bloods done Took Bobbo to have his will done poor Bobbo 😭
It's so sad what his family have done to him 😢

I don't know if you remember what happened with Bobbo but his DD had POA and stole every penny he had. About 70k
The other DD came back in the scene after many years . Saw off the first DD with POA and stole over 13k off him . Left him penniless 😭
How they could do that to him ln just don't know, he is such a sweetheart.

mrs that’s terrible! How awful

I am trying to keep busy, mostly successfully as work is quite hectic. Off to London tomorrow for dinner at a friend’s house for his birthday which will be nice, DH and I will stay the night and most of Sat and come back late on Sat as we can’t get anyone to look after DCat I’ve booked us tickets to an art exhibit on Saturday morning, and I think we will stay to dinner on Sat eve before heading back so that will all be a good distraction!

I don't know some people sleep at night mrs, shameful behaviour to do that.
Scales still up at 165.2, but might get a drop tomorrow if I keep on track today. That Tuesday pizza sure is sticking around! Was worth it though 😋

Poor Bobbo. Bloody kids. He won’t but i hope he does them for theft.
Tired today. Need to meal
Plan and food shop
And move some savings around

Feeling drained today and with it has come major food urges. I haven't gone mad, decent breakfast at 8am but second slice of toast smothered in butter at 10.30, my evening crisps were had at 11.30 and my dessert was had at 11.40 - I think I've sated the beast for a bit. Or I bloody hope so. At least my dessert was homemade carrot cake, that's practically health food surely...

Not just doing your day in reverse breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen dinner like a pauper!!!

I'm reverse bingeing 😂 That's a good way to look at it, although I think we all know King Not will make a heifer of herself later on! Joking aside, I've replanned my dinner to balance my calories out. I had my splurge meal on Tuesday, can't be party time all the time.

Carrot cake is at least 2 f&v portions

And there was orange juice in the cream cheese frosting... pure healthy I am

You totes are.

I’m so far from healthy it’s not funny, aiming for Zumba tonight but seem
To have a soatica pain from working from the sofa

You poor thing life, sciatica is hell on earth. Tennis balls helped me greatly, lying on it at the pain point - but in the end needed v strong painkillers & anti inflammatory plus a mild Valium. Hard going

It’s certainly ouchy

Spent £££ on gym shark sale stuff while sitting eating crack chocolate

MN playing me up still 😱
Have been ok food wise because I have been very busy again 🙄
Evening everyone 😊
Had the appt at the optitions, apparently I need glass for distance and close up and will probably end up with varifocals.
I don't want to wear glasses all the time though! I also have something called napping of the arteries / veins in my eye and l am probably going to have to go on statins and bp tablets! Before l went in there l was healthy and l come out and l am at risk . Bit of a shock because l don't have high BP when l do it at home. Also she did say it could be from when l had my Daughter and had bp then . Anyway the good thing
is we have been 🤗👏
This has put the willies up me so to speak 😂😂 She did reassure me that it's very mild and I have no complications and once I get the blood pressure tablets and behave myself it will be fine 😱
Life you have my sincere empathy sciatica is absolute hell that and plantar fasciitis 0mg 😱
I must get to bed thank you everyone for being so kind. It means a lot ❤️
Take care everyone speak tomorrow have a lovely night sleep all 🤗

mrs sorry to hear about the BP - hopefully the meds will sort you out and ease things for you 💕
I am way overdue a trip to opticians myself, must book that for end of term.
The IVF hormones are disrupting my sleep - I’m knackered most of the day, have to go to bed at 930 and then wide awake at 430/5! So I just got up today. DH was being a bit annoying saying stay in bed but I can’t lie there wide awake for hours.

Urgh disruption to sleep
Suck. Agree though I can’t lay there awake either.

Oh sorry to hear about the eye thing. Sounds scary but also easily treatable
