Frugaleers - into 2022

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

I’m stuck at 60.1-60.4kg (132-133 lbs) for days now, I think my body is really resisting dropping below 60kg/132. Hopefully I’ll start losing again but admittedly having people over for boozy dinner not exactly going to help is it lol.
Did 40 min core and legs body pump and about to jump on the bike for a quick spin class before my lunch meeting.
Steps bad as scared to leave the house haha!

Wow gen, you're really putting amazing effort in. I'm tired reading that!
Got out for a jog/walk before EP got up for breakfast so 7,000 steps done - that's my base for the day. Think I'll buy a basic pedometer I can have in my pocket as I like having a normal watch

Finally hit half a stone today after starting on 3rd Jan. So progress but happy with my total so far

Gen that food sounds delicious !
Well done on keeping the exercise up am sure the scales will drop very soon
Darbs well done
Not Dh uses his phone on an app for a pedometer
Happier well done with the workouts and loss
Life excellent stuff well done!
Have been good , busy with Mumbobs so no time to scoff
Hope everyone is safe and sound after storm Eunice

Im annoyed with myself - had G&T, 2 Prosecco and 2 large white wine and have a nice hangover to show for it. I never seem to learn!! I’m much better off not drinking at all. And I’m supposed to be taking MIL out for lunch 😖😭

Oh not. You need a bacon roll and tea. Or salt and vinegar crisps and a full fat coke
Sausage and cider festival today . No idea how to track that’s and will no doubt blow the calories

That was meant to be oh no! You need… for gen.
Though I’m sure not would too

Soo I have 1000 for today. 1/2 cider is about 180, low alch less than 100. I will drink 2 maybe 3 so 4-500 for sausages which are usually loads of calories so maintain I think today

Scales found it's way back to 194.2 finally

Gen was it a good night?
I'm also taking MIL out today, well we weren't married, but still same

happier hope you have a nice time. My MIL is basically evil 😂
We had such a fun evening. I did a 40 min strength class online and had a hot shower and coffee. Hangover has dissipated to just feeling a bit tired and more hungry than usual.
Work event on Tues which has wine on offer but will just go alcohol free I think as once I’ve had one or two I think it’s a great idea to have three or four 😂

Oh crap, too late I've had the bacon roll & tea...only joking, I'll be having a brunch mini fry shortly. Did my body pump and 45 mins on the treadmill, jogged for 35 mins of that so I've worked up a good sweat. Shower and food 😋
Cider & Sausages sound lush, enjoy as it's hardly something you'd do often. Hope the semi-mil is as ok as someone can be after that loss, nice you're still in contact. Hope it's a comfort for you both.
Now gen listen to me, you have the fear, let it go - plenty of carbs and water and don't let that aul bag get to you. No guilt, it was just a few jars not a night out joyriding. I, very strangely think we'll all agree, did not drink last night. No, not sick just giving my liver a rest before I'm away for a few days. Won't be going mad but will be socially drinking with meals in the evenings. Pity it's only to another rainy city but it'll be a change for the kids & family

Came in at 1400 yesterday including a cheese and ham toastie which definitely made me feel better!
Had a great night’s sleep so feel like a new woman today. Have a lot of desk work to do today but will also do body pump, spin and walk, luckily no cooking to do as we are on freezer fossils til pay day 🤣 tonight is tagine (i think it’s lamb but might be squash and chickpea) and couscous with salad.

Oh no gen evil MIL when i was married my actual MIL had passed away, and my bf's mother is a sweetheart.

We had a lovely day, she browsed, I bought new bras & shapewear, dc got clothes & toys, we had lunch out & spent from 11-4 together. She's actually doing very well not and I feel myself coming out of the intense grief too at least for a bit.

I spent 3 hours on the phone to BIL fri night, and 2 hours to another friend.
Yesterday spent the day with MIL then ds had a play date & then I had a couple visiting, my voicebox needs a break today

happier yes she is very strange - she speaks another language to DH when I’m there so I can’t join in and then complains when I sit on my phone! She’s a narcissist basically - never asks about him or us - we have been together 4 years and I don’t think she knows what I do for a living, she’s never asked about my family. She isn’t coming to our wedding party/reception which we are finally having this summer after having a lockdown wedding with no guests. DH says it is because she won’t be centre of attention and she can’t cope with that!

Glad you had such a nice day 😊

I had a great day with friends and was doing well until I got home and had dirty fires, chic and crisps. Hey ho

Sounds like a great day happier and good to hear the intensity is lifting a little

Gen , you can’t do right for wrong in my opinion fwiw so channel your inner penguin, smile and wave

(Penguins of Madagascar)

I got a takeaway last night & had two glasses of wine. But I ate only a few of the chips so I think I didn't do too badly with my quarter pounder.
If I'd ordered loaded fries I'd have eaten them all

Hope everyone is safe and sound
Storm Franklin now !
We didn't have electric for 8 hours yesterday , it was back on this morning , we weren't too bad because we have a gas cooker and a gas fire so we just cranked out the candles and watched dvd's on our laptops until they ran out of charge , thankfully it wasn't too bad
I'm afraid l have scoffed and been into Morrisons for Profiteroles for tonight , l reasoned the profiteroles have a lot of air in them
Gen do you really have to go and see her so often, only it seems to me you may as well do what you want and let her go to hell. She's so horrible to you
Happier l am so glad you had a lovely day with your Mil it sounds as of it did you both good
Life l had a bad day too and who on earth can resist dirty fries !
Not have a lovely time away so pleased for you all , it will do you good

The weather is truly shocking isn't it? Bitter cold where we are, horizontal rain at times, huge gusts of wind that made the drive interesting. Hotel really cute and comfy, v boutique style. Had a late lunch of hefty gourmet sambos and bits of cake the kids would let me rob. Probably pizza tonight. I'll have to steer clear of the scales. My check in yesterday showed 165'ish, it's fine, just going to focus on good habits. But not for the next couple of days, the focus will be fun & family and probably lots of food!

Have fun not and never mind the scales
Managed 10k steps both days
Food ok today but there is time yet

not have the best time! Sounds heavenly.

mrs I’m letting DH go alone next time and then I’ll go the time after that. He’s going to go when I’m on my work trip with the students for their reading week.

Slightly in denial that it is Monday tomorrow 😬 need to get my work head on!

Urgh Monday but bizzarly down today to 133.3 . Dodge scales I think

I didn’t weigh as (TMI alert) I didn’t do a poo til after I was already dressed for work and had had a large coffee. Will have to get up early tomorrow and have a very small strong coffee 😂

Not have a wonderful time with your beloveds lovely it sounds an absolutely fantastic hotel
Gen well done on thinking about yourself sweetheart , nothing you do will ever make a difference with that evil old woman
I lol at your TMI revelation
Life that is excellent well done ! Doesn't matter how bizzare it is take it and run with it
Been ok so far today but if DH suggests bloody baked potatoes tonight then nothing will be off limits !

Well I know the 2 bran combos that upset my tum. Now just need to try them separate

132.7 again. Sigh. I’m stuck in a proper plateau! Just have to try and be patient.
