Frugaleers - into 2022

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

That's me turned off spinning😂 Wouldn't take much tbh.
Are you having a do at your house mrs? Hope the birthday girl has a great day. It's all ahead of me later this year & I haven't a clue what to do. Between family awkwardness and thoughts of trying to arrange it, I'm already stressing.
Dinner done, bit of a hungry day today so might get closer to my 1750 budget. Very little exercise today, just a 20 min walk earlier and 20 mins walking on the spot in the vain effort of getting the blood moving

Ah a 90th birthday sounds brilliant
I want to eat the world, then go back for pudding

I hear ya life, but I'm riding it out. Kitchen closed. I'd murder a biscuit! It'll pass

I caved and it’s caught up with me.

I am feeling a bit better after the capsule and cream but AF has arrived in force so now have cramps! Ffs!

I weighed in at 135 today, well pleased with that. Have told friend I won't be drinking this eve and that's that. I had a late night last night with the evening event at work and tonight will be late again, so I am taking today as a rest day from working out and hoping just to get a walk in on my lunch break.
AF is defo making me hungrier than normal, I had a decent proteiny breakfast and am already hungry!

I'm so proud of you gen, you just needed the force of AF to take no crap and by heck you bossed it😉 Hurrah for the 135 as well, you'll protect that with no drinks

Bit of progress (at last!) on the scales, 164.4 - thrilled to see a new number. Now only 1.6 to pre Christmas weight.
Did a 30 min bodypump and 40 min brisk walk before work. Held off breakfast so getting v hungry for my lunch. That'll be 18 hours since I last ate.

I need to do pump but cba. 10800 steps tho

I came v close to cba on the bodypump but I'm also very close to getting doms again if I left it any longer - last Friday is a while away. The thoughts of the doms propelled me out of bed!

I need a shake to wake up then just do it

Baked potato for tea. Very macro friendly

Haven't had a baked potato in forever! You e taken over from mrs as the baked potato queen life? Saw someone doing one in the airfryer so might give that a go for lunch tomorrow 🤔
Just under 1400 and the kitchen is closed since 7pm. I wish I could make this buzz I'm on last, it's not going too badly avoiding as much processed stuff & sugars as I can. Day 3 of no choc/crisps, managed 5 days last week. Ok, nuts & cheese are featuring heavily, that could become a problem if not kept in check

It took a bit if scale manoeuvring but still in the 164's so all is right with my world today. Never accept the first offer, in life or in weigh ins, or the second for that matter! Thirds the charm😉
How'd the birthday go mrs? You're probably exhausted after it.
Slept for nearly 9 hours, and I feel kind of hungover from it which is mad, bit of a headache. Hopefully the restorative power of tea will help. Think I'll hold off until lunch to eat, not particularly hungry and have a busy morning so might take advantage. EP night tonight so wine will be on the menu, no point pretending otherwise.
How was the night out gen?

Hideous headache this morning. Been clenching my teeth again.
Nothing but tea and I ibuprofen so far. No fitness today

Great going not. Wine with or after EP? I suspect after

Still steady at 135 here.

With, they're here for the night. We offer dinner, B&B plus morning coffee & biscuits. It's a full service.
Sorry you're suffering, that sounds nasty. Plenty of fluids and no stress - as if that's possible!

Ooo book me in

Ibuprofen is helping

And it's a 2 course dinner with freshly brewed bean to cup coffee to accompany the dessert I bake. Feck sake, I'll be lucky to get a slice of stale bread thrown my way when I'm an EP knowing my pair😂

Skip the coffee please

life hope you feel better soon

not lucky EPs! I’m still 135 despite night out - didn’t drink at all and had the starter (beetroot slices with dabs of cheese on a puff pastry circle about the size of a digestive) and main (lamb leg with green veg, a baby carrot (yes just one lol) and a spoon of potatoes. For pudding I just had some strawberries and a little biscuit that came with the coffee - the others had crème brûlée which I really dislike. Then afterwards one Ferrero Rocher. I estimated it at 800 cals total which had me at 1600 for the day, not too bad!

No coffee, got it😉
Very well managed night out gen, good for you!
Just had a wheat berry salad thing from Lidl, over 16gr of fibre 😱 Obviously I'm hopeful🤞😬

That’s great going gen. Did you dodge the friend before?
Feeling better now. Done pump and will do Zumba later. Stress related so been doing stuff that’s causing me Stress outside of work

Thanks not. Caffeine after lunch keeps me awake

Hope you get your ahem whoosh not

If I don't get a whoosh, there'll definitely be a bad wind! Knowing my guts it'll be the wind

life no I just said I couldn’t drink for medical reasons!

Can’t really argue with medical reasons
Ha ha , hope it’s not windy then

My headache is still niggling gonna stay in Tonight
