Frugaleers - let's finish out 2022 strong

[Happierwithouthim]

6 weeks to Christmas
I'm making a promise to you guys to record my journey here, who's with me?

I don't feel so bad swearing at them then life.
I need to trim my toe nails.. I ended up my run with bloody toes. Not helped by wearing my gym / road trainers instead of my fell shoes.

Focus on the interview Gen and best of luck. Us northerners are lovely

I cut my toenails too short last week & they hurt when I was walking in heels

Hopefully hrt will suit you life

Nails sound lovely gen

I took a walk with dog yesterday morning as it had been a week since I walked her,
I walked with friends on Thurs & today I'll walk with bf & dog.
Not weighing at the moment because my loss had kinda of plateaued, I can see the loss in my shape & figure it'll be nice to look at scales in a couple of weeks & see a nice drop

Been busy all week and have now got a very painful right upper arm it's either tendonitis or a partial biceps/triceps tear according to my GP who gave me CoCodamols and Voltarol gel. He suggested l did some exercises to help , he recommended DrJo on You tube . Looks excellent tbf.
Good luck Gen 😊
Hope everyone is ok 😊

mrs sorry about your arm, hope it feels better very soon x

happier I absolutely HATE the feeling of toe or fingernails cut too short, it gives me the willies just thinking about it 🙀

Had a lovely walk with DH across the fields and delicious lunch of roasted squash, quinoa salad with pecan nuts and feta. Now back to my desk for yet more prep!

Ouch both happier and Mrs

Thank you Gen and Life 😊
Good luck Gen 🍀❤️

gen that lunch sounds fabulous, I might steal that one although maybe not with quinoa, making a quinoa dessert years ago coincided with me getting a vomiting bug so the association prevents me from eating it!

Afternoon everyone 😊
Went back to the Drs today for more pain relief , Dr examined me again & l have a partial tear of my right rotator cuff and it's agony !
Hope everyone is ok, it's freezing here but no snow 😊

That just sounds painful mrs

im doing badly with eating but ok with well-being and fitness so will take that

Mrs hope you make a speedy recovery.

Need.. Sometimes a break is needed.

Go team Gen. I have all the fingers and toes crossed.

I am off injured too... A tight hamstring. Gym sessions are stretch based until I recover. I did a video based pilates class that was fun although I am not convinced my form was very good. Slowly getting to low 73s... I touched 72.8 at the weekend but I think I was dehydrated.

Thank you Unescorted & life
Feels less painful today the Tramadol is so good for pain relief. I only took 1 last night and slept so much better.
This Seraglutide sounds very Good, l am tempted but lets get the arm better soon. Good bgrrs crossed
☺️
Hope your hamstring is better soon and your weight is excellent 👍
Life sounds good to me lovely ☺️
Not bothered much about food ATM tbh with this arm but Spring is beckoning and needs addressing very soon ☺️
Snowing here but not sticking thankfully 🙂
Freezing cold though heating on and still not really warm , toes are cold 🙄

mrs how is your arm? Hope it is feeling a bit better.

My hamstring is much better.... But with it and the snow today was the first time all week I got to the gym. I have done some online yoga which was entertaining... I am not sure my form was any good.

One of my friends works for a sports team... She has asked one of their sports psychologists for ways to find motivation. Apparently I don't need motivation just commitment and that is a choice. I can now waste time working out what I want to commit to.

Sounds like I need commitment too. No idea what to
ate a bazillion crisps and malteasers last night but struggling to find the motivation for the gym as such a busy day today

mrs hope you are feeling better 💜

unescorted and life let me know if you find any commitment and chuck it my way!

interview was so awful, I went to pieces completely which is so not like me. I think it just all got on top of me at the last min, I’ll do better next time. Not expecting a call any time soon lol.

Afternoon everyone 😊
My arm is a little bit better thank you for asking Unescorted 😊
Glad your hamstring injury is much better . Great advice from the Sports Psychologist it makes sense ☺️
Life hope you find time to get to the gym lovely 😊 forget about the crisps and bloody Malteasers damn devil foods they are 🙄
Gen thankfully my shoulder is getting there thank you so much for asking 😊
Nevermind re the interview, if you don't get it then it was not meant to be Sweetheart ❤️
Been ok here , not done a lot just visiting Mum and my cousin in hospital. Food is ok ATM and l am just grateful that my arm is getting there l was despairing of being paid up for months tbh it was very worrying me 😊
Hope everyone is ok 😊
Have a lovely day everyone 😊

Gen sorry to hear about the interview. When I have been Interviewing I have been told to put people's nerves to one side.. they are the ones that really want the job.

life I can't have crisps in the house and have to walk the wrong way round Aldi to avoid the crisp aisle. They are the thing I really miss.

I have committed to the gym 2 days on one off. <grits teeth with determination > I will get to the sub 70's... I was going to phrase that differently but children may see 🤣😳.

Ah Gen, I hear you as it’s shit when the nerves take over, let’s hope it’s not as bad as you think

i didn’t go to the gym as too much to do today, there tomorrow.

you will get there with your arm mrs.

Thank you life 😊
l have been off Mumsnet / internet /shopping/ housework/ cooking to allow my arm to heal and it has worked it's so much better , so am back online and shopping but still being. Careful . I do not want that again!!
Hope everyone is ok 😊

Hey Mrs glad to hear the arm is getting better
I’m doing ok with weights but not food so my muscle mass is up as is my weights that’s ok

Hi everyone
I kind of forgot about mumsnet for a while there! It was a bank holiday weekend here. I ate dinner out Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon but with taking Ozempic I'm unable to finish a main course not to mind have dessert so it's all grand. Seemed to be a pattern of eating breakfast and dinner only.

I'm not weighing until next weekend so I'm not sure how that's going but some people have noticed my shape changing so I'll take that as a positive.

How are everyone's injuries recovering?
My friend in weight loss through Facebook, friends for about 12 years now, has managed to break her jaw while eating, I think she may suffer from osteoporosis, sounds awful.

I'm fairly nauseous this week and finding eating difficult and don't want to reach for handy things like biscuits or stuff so I'm trying to change my eating pattern.

Today I'd ds's sausage rolls in the car on my way to work, I didn't enjoy them so next time he doesn't want them the dog can have them.

At 10am I'd a pink lady apple with peanut butter and it was delicious and fresh and filling all at once.

I've a ham and cheese sandwich packed to toast for lunch and if I'm hungry at any other time I've eggs here and another slice of bread for toast. Hoping all this will help to entice me to be hungry for dinner which will be a salmon fillet probably with stirfry veg and rice.

Thank you Life & Happier
My shoulder/arm is much better still painful but nothing like it was 👏
Food has been dire dont ask 🙄
Life you sound very n a very good place and quite right to ignore your weight while doing weights !
Happier you are doing so well l am so pleased for you , great job!

I’m in a decent place yes, just need to nail my diet now

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Yes, have a great weekend everyone 😊
l think when the warmer weather comes it's going to be so much easier to eat salads and cold fruit and the need for warm comforting food is gone 🤗.
