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?

Life** allow yourself an extra 200/300 calories so a controlled binge rather than scoffing & regretting it

Yes o think I will , then it’s all gone

Perfect situation

It all went and now reflects on asod but that will be gone tomorrow

Wave to gen

Life sometimes only ice cream will do. I am finding that if I hold onto the regret of things that can't be changed I will be thinking of the ice cream all the time and will have the temptation of a second lapse front and centre until I can let the regret and guilt go. So now it is a case of saying hey ho and moving on with the programme. As a result I am now weighing up the short term pleasure against the time in the gym before I eat the treat... Sometimes the decision is not to eat the treat, sometimes the ice cream wins either way it is a conscious decision and it tastes all the better for being guilt free.

That was a long way around saying eat the ice cream & don't feel bad about it. Happier is more succinct... Controlled binge is a good term for it.

I would be like that too unescorted it would become bigger in my head.
I had bread & butter pudding for dessert sat night, gave away the icecream because my teeth wouldn't be able to handle the hot and cold. So may not see a loss on scales tomo or maybe the bloat will be gone by then either way I enjoyed it and moved on.

Woke up with plantar fascists as Not used to say in my foot. My reward for being lazy for months then working out like mad lol.
it should ease off so ill work out later.
life don’t beat yourself up.

Ouch gen

Ouch gen can you do something that isnt load bearing while it gets better...swimming or cycling?

I quite fancy having a go at roller derby.... Not that I can skate. I could borrow DDs skates and learn.

Do it but wear padding

sts this week but I think there's a loss coming next week as I've gone in a notch on my belt. 4lbs to be into next stone bracket.

I did make lemon curd muffins yesterday and eat a Reeses nutrageous

Down a pound. I know it’s just water but it makes me feel better 😄
lemon curd muffins sound incredible happier
foot is slightly less sore today.
Am away for work and staying with a friend so hoping he makes something healthy for dinner. He doesn’t drink as he is in AA long term so won’t have to worry about booze.

I have set up some rewards for myself if I hit wedding weight and then ultimate goal weight, hoping that helps to motivate me.

They were bbc good food recipe but I didn't have self raising flour, I used baking powder with plain flour but they were queen cake height and texture not muffin.

My reward for getting to 12st will be to go back running, I've the runners bought but will buy new running tights and a top when I get there.

I've bought earrings with Christmas money but one set has stars on it, I'll hold off wearing them until I hit my first stone off.

Enjoy time with your friend gen

Same lb up and down and back to starting weight, last copy of days have been hard keeping track as feelings sucky. Today is another day

I'm on my week off pill so was feeling very snacky last night, luckily there was only the scrapings of a jar of Nutoka at home. I had to go to a mass then so that took me out of the house and away from snacks!

Scales showed 1.25lbs loss this morning so 11lbs lost since I started ozempic 2 months ago. 15% of what I've got to lose.

January blues are very real life I feel like I'm drowning in clutter at home and yet I'll sit in the midst of it and watch tv in front of the fire

Think I need to jump on here after all my PT talk over on the other board.

I gained 2.5 over Christmas which I was very pleased with, could’ve been a lot worse. I’ve drunk loads more water this week. And done my first PT session ever.

@Gensola sorry to hear about your plantar fasciitis, it’s a horrible thing to have. Make sure you do lots of stretching of the foot. If you’re not doing anything, just sat down, just practice bringing your toes towards your shin. I still do this especially before I get out of bed in the morning. Hope it goes soon.

My pf symptoms are as a result of tight calves so stretch them too

I had physio for plantar fascilitis in 2014, I then purchased the most expensive asics kayano recommended by physio at the time and haven't looked back.

curls that was a very reasonable gain for Christmas, and will be gone very soon with the new PT regime

Have fallen off the thread due to being busy with Mum meetings with Social workers and MDT regarding Mum going home .
Gen Plantar Fascitis is so painful 💐
Happier wow that is an amazing loss well done 👏
Curls that's nowt in reality well done!
Life keep going it will shift 😊
Am starting to get my act together re food just need to rid myself of this terrible stress and anxiety l am feeling at the moment. I don't know why but it's just awful ATM . I think l need a holiday tbh to recharge my battery or it could be the bloody January post Christmas blues 😱🙄

Mrs eat to nourish for now, the rest will come back

my tum feels trimmer so something is happening, might do measurements today

happier well done. That has happened so fast. And over Christmas.

mrs with all the stress of your mum it is no wonder that we haven't seen you in a while. It is lovely to see you back mind.

gen ouch. I have a big toe that has been painful for years ( since I was pregnant with DS). My Dr at the time dismissed me with ah well you must have stubbed it or it is something we can't treat. I have left it so long I don't feel I can raise it as an issue now.... If anyone has a cure for sore big toes can you let me know.

curls the people with pt at my gym make huge progress. It is like they install a PT mindset chip in their heads that makes them super motivated.

I have got back into work / gym rhythm. Down to the 76s after a bit of a post Christmas plateau in the 78s. I am (this morning) 14.3 kg down from starting weight, 2.6kg from a healthy BMI. My waist to height and waist to hip ratios are back under the oh my god you are falling apart and must seek immediate medical assistance levels.

My initial target had been healthy BMI by Easter (74.9 kg) but I am going to revise it to a round 70kg by 7th April. With a small interim celebration when I get to 74.9.

I'd to google the kg conversion to see where you are at unescorted I think you're taller than me, you are in my head anyhow so this is a great weight loss for you.

life isn't it great to start feeling trim again. I'm feeling like I've a bit of shape coming back even though I'm still very overweight. NHS BMI calculator says 36.4 obese category. Obese in my mind is those american tv shows where they need a hoist to move
mrs it's a probably a combination of all of the above, get back into the habit of meals and routine and go from there. Oh and water.

My colleague was sick recently and her bf's mother told her to 'drink more water than you want to' I thought that was solid advice.

I didn't feel like the chicken korma with brocolli that was in my fridge yesterday and had two birds eye breaded chicken burgers in a burger bun & then retired to the sitting room, I don't eat in there so no danger of snacking.

It was a wet eve so we didn't go for our usual 70 min water, I vegged out instead.

Great going unescorted.
my rough maths is 2lb to the kg. Happier.

My thighs are for the first time holding fat. Lots of leg work in order,

Thank you so much everyone for the support it's much appreciated.💐
Happier you are doing so well, your mindset is excellent 😊
Unescorted that's an inspiring & achievable target for you by April . You are on it! 👏
Life glad you are feeling trimmer , good luck with the measurements 😊
I am going to try and look after myself better , l have to , after years of neglect it's really important l do this . I can't rely on being busy therefore l am not scoffing any more .l need more control than that .
So more water , going to try meditation for the stress too.
Stress is so bad for us l hate it .
Have a good day everyone 😊
