Frugaleers - into 2022

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

I listened to that on audiobook mrs, it was done so well. The next one is even better.

DH and I actually listened to both of those Richard Osman books on audio - really enjoyed them!

Hangover didn’t really lift though I did feel better after a very carby brunch 😄 having an early night now to try and recover. Dry week ahead as the trip leader so that’s one good thing anyway.

Oh I will try that book,
Rubbish day yesterday drawing a line

I went wayyyy over my calories yesterday, I count Friday as my start of the week since it's my official weigh in so I think that helped me with the fluff it mentality. Not to worry, it's just a lost diet day & can probably assume today will be the same as have a birthday party tonight to go to. No drinking will at least reduce the damage.
Told them all I'm working out soon so taking over the living room - now I have to do it. Another stunning day here, walk or jog after workout for sure

I did the most begrudged workout ever for 40 mins before a 20 min jog to the shops and the a walk around/walk home just about hitting my 10,000 steps. Relaxing for a couple of hours before getting ready for party. Designated driver, I don't miss the drink but I could do without the drinkers😂

Long dog walks and gardening mean I got my 15k
Drunk people are a pain

Oh Life that sounded blooming gorgeous , well done on the steps and the gardening hasn't it been absolutely gorgeous today, l loved the book it's very easy reading
Gen glad you are feeling better than you were take it easy , sit out in the garden and have Dh wait on you
Not am just going to start the second book , he has a new one out in September well done to you on dragging your body to exercise and have a smashing time at the party tonight
Busy today , did Mumbobs on my own as DH gone to the rugger so was there much longer , have been shopping to Morrisons after so not been too bad here because l have been out
Beautiful day here it's really cheered me up

I can't wait for the new one, if you have the library audio app mrs, I'd highly recommend listening to the audio versions. Leslie Manville reads them and she's absolutely perfect! She just captures the characters fantastically.
Wasn't it an utterly gorgeous day, I bought myself a pair of jeans and they're lovely on. Now to find something to pair them with 🤔

Life l do have the library app , l will try them on audio thank you for the heads up . l always listen to radio plays or wind blowing or audio books in the night
It's been absolutely gorgeous , it makes everything so different , l am filled with exhilaration at the very simplest of things because life is so much nicer with a bit of sun and warmth , it's the little things , Le Sigh

Home from the party, went v well - still going strong, I had to bring kids home and I was wrecked. Maintenance cals today but it could have been much worse so I'll take it as a positive. Might take a drive to a park in the morning for a run nice & early.

Not so glad it went well lovely 😊 well done on the maintenance Cals that's brilliant 👍 beautiful day here 😊
Have a lovely day everyone 😚
Doing ok having a roast chicken dinner via DH so that will be lovely and not too calorific 😊

Got a long local walk done, 11,500 steps so that's decent. Roast dinner sounds lush mrs, enjoy. Getting a healthy takeaway here

Got all my steps and more gardening but all
The sweet stuff

Another maintenance day yesterday, pretty much been maintenance cals since Thursday. Haven't done a post weekend weight check as no doubt higher carbs will show a higher number & not in the mood to be irritated. I'll do better the next 4 days.

And reset. 4 weeks to holiday, time to get back in the game

Two sleeps into the student trip - it’s all going well. Managed a body pump class (brought weights with me!) and 10000 steps yesterday with a pre breakfast walk plus a lunch walk. Today should be more steps as doing a longer walk with the students. Unfortunately food is quite carby at dinner so trying my best to have very healthy breakfasts and lunches as those are more in my control. The spot we are staying is beautiful - right on the beach!

That's dedication gen, fair play. I got a pre-work walk done and banked 4,000 steps. Nice start to the day. Have to do a work related walk soon - should have my 10,000 min by lunchtime

That was my lunch one of the days gen carb overload

You took your weights wow gen
Ooo carb central therr

Omg, I'm salivating here! That looks delicious happier
Dumbbell workout done, just over 11,500 steps so all good for a Monday.

183 over darn those pesky bunnies, 18500 steps . Intended doing pump but puppy was being a pain

I'm a fair bit under my cals, trying to claw back some of the overspend from the 4 day weekend.
Best avoid them bunnies with the holiday coming up life, I've under 3 weeks to go and going to try very hard to get a pound or two off. I reckon I need 10,000-12,000 steps daily and 1700 to lose .5 a week. That's just about liveable. And then a week away will earn me half a stone don't you know! Oh well

Well done everyone
Been busy as per so not too bad, had beans on toast tonight because we just didn't know what to have
Happier that looks delicious
Gen the trip sounds gorgeous enjoy!
You can do that Not & Life
Beautiful day here supposed to be lovely all week

I didn't know what to have at lunch/brunch today so I had a fried egg in the middle of a toasted ham & cheese sandwich croque Madame type endeavour

That sounds delicious happier
Lying in bed contemplating breakfast and my tummy is proper rumbling. Probably linked to low cal Monday. Looks like it's going to be another nice day so hopefully get my steps in around work
