Frump to Fab 2021

MrsPorridge

I started the day with a lovely brisk 20 minute walk.  Came home and had a pancake brunch.  This afternoon DS is cooking pasties.  I plan to try and walk even if only for 20 minutes most days.

I lost weight (and have kept it off for 10 years 😇) with Slimming World. I can't do links on my phone but we started a new thread on this board called New Year, New Start?. It explains how it works if you're interested. LL has done well with WW. Others have done things like 5:2 and similar. It depends what suits you. Good luck. 😊

I did more walking than I could have hoped for in 2020 and will again Mrs Porridge . I'm a bit of a wimp though and it's freezing here today. 😉

I am a bit of a fair weather walker too - I don’t mind if it is sunny and cold but today is grey, damp and freezing so I am staying in the warm and have a nice glass of Merlot on the go🍷- my healthy eating regime starts again on Monday 4th 😉.

Maman - the skincare products I use the most are either Decleor or Espa - they are not cheap but I find you don’t need very much and, as I am not spending much on clothes or going out at the moment, I feel I can treat myself to some nice skincare products.

Please could you post a link to the thread you mentioned? I can't seem to find it!

Hi, I'd like to join in if you don't mind.  I always read along but very very rarely post.

I joined ww in July this year and lost a stone and a half, however, I pretty much ate my way through December so some has definitely gone back on.  I'm going to start afresh tomorrow and will weigh myself in the morning to see what the damage is.

I've dyed my hair today and tidied up my eyebrows.  I'm not allowed to wear polish on my fingernails due to work but have used a nail buffer which has made them look more shiny and I've painted my toenails red.

Hi,
After joining this thread, on NYE I decided before joining friends on a zoom call to take my fleece off and replace with a nicer but still cosy top and cardigan and put dangly earrings on. Can't believe how much better I felt. My daughter asked if I'd put make up on (I hadn't but must have looked more confident). My main focus is on RL chores, decluttering, work, and supporting daughters (one at uni after recovering from mental health problems) and the other doing GCSEs so I've got in a muddle and neglected myself. Love reading what people are doing, and I'm going to try and build in more self care routines etc.

Good morning lovely ladies. 

I've just woken up from an incredible 9 hours straight sleep.  I must have needed it.  Feel tons better,.  Tooth has settled down nicely, ear pain gone.  Will need further treatment of course but I'm waiting until I have had my covid  jab, no point taking unnecessary risks on non urgent matters.  

TC77  Well done. Earrings can really lift the face, so even without make up we look better for photos and zoom calls.  

One more day off today, seeing family and then my decluttering and deep cleaning will begin. 

Misstara.  Well done on the weight loss.  I will be joining you on WW shortly.  

Very cold here, currently nice bright sunshine but possible snow later.  

Well ....it is January. 😂

I have done some vacuuming, tidied the kitchen cupboards and some decluttering too. I went through my bags and boots and I found a dark cherry red pair of Chelsea boots that I have worn about twice. I looked on Amazon and I bought them last January! I need to start wearing them.

I have also been doing some batch cooking of soup for the next few days.

I did a hair treatment, used a pore strip and then used a hydrating cream followed by usual moisturiser on my face. I'm about to defuzz my legs in a hot bath.
