Frugaleers - into 2022

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

Don't mind a half pound happier, by the sounds of it it's truly just a bit of bloat/waste. I hope you're ok, you've done so well not to go to food for comfort - proud of you. I've made the GP appointment so here's hoping it's not the battle I've imagined. After my last visit being told to go low fat as I'm overweight, I'm not feeling very well disposed to them. Obviously I am overweight but the advice and the tone just raised my hackles. I'm not seeing that doctor at least.
Jog & bodypump done, didn't eat until lunchtime and didn't go mad over the afternoon so looking forward to dinner. Happy Friday all!

this week happier that’s brillnt

aerobis and pump !9 dog walk so not

Sorry phone went screwy

Gen they were very nice but l am getting fed up with them now tbh 🤣
It's not fair on you to give you 3 more students , l get your annoyance but it seems the same everywhere you go 🙄
Nice for you to have a meal cooked by your friend even if you did go over your Cal's , nevermind you are doing brilliantly 🤗👏
Not l am so pleased for you that you made the appt, l have everything crossed for a good outcome for you . I am sure they will help you out 💐
Happier that's excellent re not comfort eating this week, it's so difficult to keep off it when You feel meh 💐
Life you sound in a good place well done 👍✅🤗
Been ok had boiled ham , kale and potatoes , very nice after all the baked pots 🤣

We had the rest of the cauliflower rice “paella” it is really tasty and filling. I did a big side of buttered spinach.
happier Fulfill Protein bars are really good - the chocolate brownie ones almost taste like a chocolate bar and they’ve 20g protein. They are £££ in shops but tesco has them on offer this week here and you can often get it cheaper on Amazon too.
I found the protein powder bloated me for 4-6 days then it passed and I had a big loss on weigh day. It definitely made me constipated too. Sorry for TMI 😬
not I hope GP visit goes ok. I remember standing on scales for one when I went for my first fertility appointment and he was so scathing about my weight which was about 150 pounds, he said well you need to lose 20 pounds as a start. I felt humiliated.

mrs force him onto some other food 😂

I just did our meal plan - we are having haggis tomorrow! Having a friend over for lunch on Sunday, luckily he’s on a health drive too so I’m making us all a baked salmon fillet with a salad of grilled asparagus, blood orange, walnut and rocket.

I would bloody love to be 150, I'd have wanted to head butt him! They have some bloody neck being so judgy- there's a way of doing things without shaming people

Up out and early for a walk, bloody chilly & damp out, can't get the heat into me since. Have the hobbies taxi'ing and shopping to do before brunch around 12. That makes 2 days of holding off food until lunch. Which might help me from taking in too many cals. Listened to a couple of chapters of the obesity code while out, hard not to feel a bit hopeless at this stage, I sincerely hopes it turns a corner & tells me how to shift this 2 stone!

not I think the message of Jason Fung and Andrew Jenkinson et al is that you can lose weight but that it’s more complex than calories in cals out and they think that you have to re-train your body by eating non processed foods etc, and it takes time to reset the set point weight so they say patience and doing it in stages is helpful. Don’t despair!
I got up at 630 to mark exams as my masters essay is due on Monday, all my exams are due then too and I have marking and prep for the week also. No way I can get it all done but I’m hoping to get the exams done today and the essay tomorrow then prep as I go this week, I hate doing it but it can be done in a pinch!
I’m 137 today! So chuffed - hoping to be 136 by my weigh in 😄 on Wednesday

Haven't got to that stage yet but I can see the logic, hurrah for 137! That's my dream goal weight, enjoy it for me😉

No exercise today t just taken the dog for a long walk, done the supermarket too but that never tracks 8700 steps

Jason Fung is brilliant he makes such sense of everything .
I followed him to lose the 12 stone 2013 and l have put about 5 stone of it back on but l do control myself and trynot to binge like l used to .

Have a lovely day everyone 😊
Bloody jacket potato again tonight 😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣

Bah. Chicken was off so takeaway for tonight. I didn’t meet my goal of 3 days on plan. Lucky not too far over as hardly eaten today,
Unless I watch them eat Chinese and do a baked potato or something

mrs ok it’s time to stage an intervention 😂 your DH is the first ever baked potato addict I have come across. It’s looking serious 🤣

life are you joining the baked potato addiction? 😱
Gen it's not good is it and now life has caught the baked potato bug 🤣🤣

No mrs . I resisted the draw of baked potato and had Chinese

@lifelongfrugaleer

No mrs . I resisted the draw of baked potato and had Chinese

Excellent well done Life resistance is futile here l am afraid lol

This is making me want a baked potato again 🤣 DH is making haggis with a root veg mash instead of potato, he’s doing parsnip, carrot and swede. Plus greens. I am very much looking forward to it!
Have agreed to take some students on a trip, 6 days in March in their hols, it’s a case of bread and cheese for lunch and students and staff take turns to make food for dinner so I think I might have to take quite a lot of my own food as I don’t really fancy the students’ idea of cooking - pasta and sauce every night, probably!!

I hear baked potatoes are easy to do in bulk….

@lifelongfrugaleer

@ life Your meals for the trip then Gen bag of potatoes and you are sorted! Btw your food sounds delicious ! Well done your Dh

Omg mrs, He must be talking some sense to help you lose that amount - that's incredible. And good for you keeping so much off. I'll listen more attentively now😉
Having a relaxed evening, lovely dinner, trying not to snack too much...ehhh

Not it took a leap of faith l can tell you but l had tried everything else, imho give him a good go he is brilliant honestly

That is an amazing loss mrs eve with the regain that’s fab

Chinese spike this morning . Lots of water today and a class

Is that where you starting the fasting side of things mrs? Will start listening to more of it tomorrow, family outing with lunch today. Scales same as yesterday so I've lost .1 of a pound off my average weight. 165.4 today, my lowest this round of dieting is 165. I'll be seeing a bloat tomorrow no doubt.
Love the Chinese, hate the bloat, hopefully it goes by tomorrow life. Plenty of water today will help for sure. Enjoy your class. I had been trying to do a 4th workout but just haven't managed it. After the awful fatigue last Thursday I'm not going to overdo it. Walking around the city today will be enough exercise

I toyed with weights today but I want to knaw my arm off today. Making Cookies to use up baking stuff is not helping
