Frugaleers - into 2022

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

Yep, you do get sick of being sick, it'll pass but its fair enough to be in a grump Take it easy once on the antibiotics, your body might be telling you to slow down

You are of course right

Been so busy with MUmbob haven't eaten much at all , hope you are feeling ok life just take it easy
Am so tired tonight . l am off to bed after the Apprentice
Doing well Not & Gen well done!
Hope everyone is ok

The good, in my experience at least, is you can get a massive improvement the first full day of antibiotics. So maybe by tomorrow evening you'll feel much better 🤞
Hoping for a decent sleep, tired now

Sorry forget to say Hello mrs, hope you get a lovely rest after a days hard work no doubt, hope you're fueling yourself enough - how's the blood pressure btw?

life fingers crossed you’re feeling better today. Can you just sleep in and take it easy?
For some reason despite eating loads of veg and drinking more water than usual I’m constipated on my new diet!! I’m thinking it’s because I’ve doubled my protein but maybe I’m wrong. Argh.
It’s not helping me track my weight loss that’s for sure!!
mrs hope you have a less busy day today

Hope they start to work too. Felt really lightheaded last night so went to bed early.
No fitness today but will take doggo on a long walk

Are you on a heavy dose life? I had some spacey times on high doses for strep. If you think of it maybe get some actimel - I really believe they help protect your system while Anti-b's work their magic.
I'm the same gen with the bunged up, I'm trying to avoid using stuff to help as I think my body is getting too lazy and I need to get back into some sort of rhythm. Would a strong coffee (or 3) help? Sometimes works for me, not as much as I'd like of course!
Holding off for lunchtime to eat today, work & workout planned for this morning. Then weigh in & shower & lunch. Fun times 😉

It’s probably the increase in fibre adjustment. Just think of the whoosh when it quite literally passes
Yes 500mg x 3 a day

No wonder you were woozy, hopefully they help soon.
Workout done, few more bits of work before I get to shower & weigh. Hitting 16 hours food free, and not feeling too bad tbh. Busyness is my friend as always!

Happy scales believes I've lost 1.2 in 7 days so at last my stats are coming back around. Was down .8 on yesterday. It's progress 👍

That’s great not

Sorry forget to say Hello mrs, hope you get a lovely rest after a days hard work no doubt, hope you're fueling yourself enough - how's the blood pressure btw?

My B/P is amazing Not 118/67 since l changed the tablets l have felt so much better too. I am so pleased l decided to try another drug Don't worry about me fuelling myself enough lol ! Gen it's back to baked potatoes , cheese and beans again tonight still busy , carpet shampooer there again today , after the fertilizer spreading there from Bobbo yesterday [he had retention of urine due to his chronic constipation, he took medication and exploded all over the house] , 6 loads of washing yesterday ! Done the ironing today ! (MumBobs) Not Your weight loss is brilliant well done lovely so pleased for you Life so hope you’re feeling better today lovely Constipation seems to be the mood of the moment Bob takes a Laxido sachet every two days but l am not sure l recommend them tbh, judging by the carnage yesterday

I think the antibiotics are working as I feel better.
Still going to rest until Monday
Actually I have an long walk planned tomorrow

Forgive me I went to the Aldi chocolate aisle yesterday

Glad you're feeling better life, as long as you're able for the walk it'll do you good. Not like you have to power walk I'm sure.
I'm confused, if ones goes to Aldi does one not always partake of the choccie aisle ?
Asking for a friend...who will be in Aldi perusing all the snacks later.
Holding off scales and eating until after morning work. Don't normally eat until 12'ish on Saturday so nothing new here. Ended yesterday on 1700 which is higher than I'd like due to, ahem, chocolate but better than a normal Friday. The work to reduce processed high sugar limps on! Out for dinner tonight with bestie, can't wait

There are times in Aldi when I endeavour to resist. I’m clearly delusional with illness

Glad you feel better Life
Have a lovely evening Not
Tree and decs down yay! Looks bare though , l have noticedit's getting lighter at night thank God!
Food ok ish , guess what we are having tonight ?
Go on have a guess [grin
l don't buy much chocolate tbh because it is so bad l wouldn't be able to stop !

Have a good time with your bestie not

We are having a roasted cauliflower, tofu and spinach curry. It is actually quite tasty as the tofu is crispy. We are having our neighbours over for coffee and cake so I’ve baked a polenta and lemon cake and made some cookies too. Cals today 1,150 as banking some for cake tomorrow.
Have some smoked trout which was yellow stickered for lunch tomorrow, with eggs and watercress.
STS today, 63.6kg/140.2 - hoping I might break into the 62s tomorrow/130s but cake is not going to help that is it. Sigh!

Thanks guys, having a great night, ate well. Enjoying drinks drinks, chat and just lovely company💕

Sounds lovely not
Must try tofu gen. Need lots of iron rich foods for dd

Cancelled my walk today as raining and It’s just not fun

How are you feeling life are the anti biotics working now?
Hope you had a great time, not

mrs I was very sick with my tummy in 2013 when I had a botched appendectomy done on New Year’s Eve by a surgeon who wasn’t a specialist and had a LOT of laxido before I was put right, I can’t stand even the smell of it now or the look of the orange packets 😂
STS again, listened to a super interesting podcast on why it’s so hard to lose fat, with a doctor who has been researching this. Made me feel better about struggling.

Yes they are, I’m feeling much better. As the gp said my immune system needed a helping hand to get me right again. Long may it continue

Aldi chocolate aisle has been erased from my mind, please do not speak of this fabulous place again.
Today's Aldi purchases included Gold Standard Double Chocolate Protein Powder, with veggies, berries & meat

happier sounds a lot like my shopping lists these days!
We had turkey meatballs with root veg mash and greens today, 45g protein and 450 cals a plate. Yum!
I also made a venison and mushroom lasagne for tomorrow - it’s all made up in the tray and just needs to be popped in oven, 460 cals and 39g protein per slice.
Spent a large part of today marking exams. Very depressing as it’s my own students and they seem to have absorbed little of what I was attempting to teach them
