Afternoon All..
Back safe and sound,.all unpacked and washer on…..going to collect Steve’s watch after his service, debating whether to put mine in, it’s well over due but keeping time??…have to go through to Hull to collect it, I am in shorts wouldn’t normally go in shorts bet I see people I know!..can’t be bothered to get changed.

Fish and chips were good, two baby wines drunk too, and chocolate…that’s it now…butter chicken curry tonight with brown rice, small portion for me…

Mel ..
Well done on your calories on a NFD…a nightmare with the deer…goodness they would of gone mad..

Hedgehog..
Happy Birthday to Xena…hope she enjoys her chicken….has she got to the beach, weathers great for her…..have you eaten the muffins yet?

Kay..
Hope all the planting went well, it keeps you busy…any veg this year?

Dave..
Enjoy your bowling today..you must be getting quite good.

Nana..
Our fetes on today, don’t think we will get to it..hope you enjoy if you go….good walk to the next village for you..

Have a good weekend all…

Jean x

Nana- good plan avoiding the fete! I think the royal engineers might be one of son’s options, he has to put 3 choices down. If he still wants to apply come Feb…well done on the walk too!
Mel- well done on your nonFD, & sounds like you’re doing well today too! Must’ve been scary with the deer! They look cute, but apparently their hooves are really sharp & can give dogs nasty injuries…don’t think they’d get in our garden thankfully.
Dave- I’m sure you’ll still play well tomorrow, would Denise like to play or are her knees too bad?
Jean- glad the fish & chips were good! Did you ever try cauliflower rice when you were low carb before? It’s okay with curry…
We had an eventful walk with Xena! She went bonkers when we first got there running around the dunes, & ran into me from behind, knocked me right over! Luckily no injuries! Hubby found the walk a bit far for him woth his bad back, so grumbled for quite a while! Lunch was lovely- just a halloumi salad starter portion for me- & apart from trying to dig a hole under the table Xena was good. But on the way home she ran through a gap in the hedge & fell into a filthy stagnant pond! First time she’s been swimming 😂 I had to pull her out as the bank was too steep & of course got soaked when she shook! We did 4 hours walking, & she still pulled on the lead the last bit to the car! And a lovely bath for her when we got home- well, buckets in the garden😂. I think she enjoyed it overall though! Doesn’t even seem that tired 😰…we are!

Well done Nana, some fast days are really hard! Good on the walking by the way. HH don’t you just love dogs, Jodie’s worst smelly bit was rolling in decayed seal.

Morning all!
Mel- rotten seal definitely trumps anything my last dog rolled in! 😂😂
Jean- curry sounds so good, must get round to doing something veggie for myself, not on Fast800 though!😂 Enjoy your DIY food today!
Nana- it’s strange that some FDs are harder than others, well done for staying strong! I did ADF for a while; I did find the weekend ones hard!
Dave- enjoy the sport today on TV & your own; hope you win!
Kay- think you’ve got the best of the weather today, are you working, or can you enjoy it?
Minols- guess you’re there now, enjoy!
Cakey, Lynne, Didan, have a restful Sunday!
Quiet day for us, taking a neighbour to Church, hopefully a longer walk with Xena later; all that exercise yesterday seems to have livened her up!!
Stricter day for me foodwise, yesterday was low but not 800cals, today will be!

Teeny lunch for me 😠, quite hungry…
Quiet here today, are you all watching sport?!

Afternoon All..
I am here too…Steve watching F1… my washing is drying so slowly collecting it in…cooked the boy some turkey mince and pork mince both low fat to go in the freezer…not sure if porks ok but he only has a tablespoon on his biscuits.

What a good boy this morning two horses came on the river bank….he is very frightened of them started barking as off lead, I shouted him but he wouldn’t come back…blew my whistle once he sat down immediately…I was very impressed and pleased with him…the lady on the horse has passed us before, so she made the horse stand still, her horse is bomb proof..fortunately..

I had a small chocolate brownie from Lidl…oops..very lovely…egg and bacon tonight so it will pull me back.

I am fasting tomorrow..

Hedgehog..
Well done on the eating…

Mel..
Looks like I joined you today..😬..we are taking the boy across the fields later, a bit remote for me if on my own…

Thinking of making the boy some bone shaped cheesy biscuits for training….can I be bothered??

Hello

I’m here as well. Non fast day for me – another one tomorrow despite husband just saying about another trip to the coast tomorrow which will involve fish & chips no doubt. Will be the last one for a while as he’s not to keen going during school holidays.
Another busy social week for us Tues evening a meal with my old work colleagues which we do every six weeks or so. Usual Weds meet up with friends for lunch, Thurs visiting a friend of 49 years who lost her husband recently again for lunch. Fri evenings we meet up again with Weds lunch friends for a drink and then get a take away.
This is why my fast days are usually a Sat and Mon 😉 Even if I only lose a pound per week i’m happy with that as we are lucky to be able to still go out and about.BBQ for our evening meal is planned.

Mel a new day tomorrow for your fast – that’s the beauty of the 5:2 way of life.

Jean I’m drooling at the sound of those biscuits.

Hedgehogs a busy day for sport but motorsport is the top priority here. Good result for the F1.

Hope everyone else is doing well today.

Nanax

Nana..
What a busy life you lead and what a lot of friends…loads of lunches and dinners, we never really see anyone…could be quite jealous…go for it while you can….I can see it’s hard to fast ..

You do realise my biscuits were for Charlie…although there’s nothing in them what we can’t eat…they smelt delicious while cooking…

Dave..
How lovely to be asked to join the bowling team…you must be doing quite well….

We have just taken Charlie across the fields for a hours walk, he ended up in a ditch and we had to hose him down when back…absolutely black with mud all up his legs just short of his belly thank goodness …..he throughly enjoyed his self.

Dinner calls..

Hello again
Jean yes we are very lucky to have a good group of friends and have been friends with all of them between 49 & 50 years. I think the reason we are going out a lot is due to the fact that when my husband was diagnosed with cancer our lives were put on hold for eighteen months from diagnosis to completion of treatment – we still saw our friends but not as frequently because he was wiped out from the treatment.

Hedgehogs think it’s going to be sunny hunny if we go tomorrow.

Dave way to go on the bowls.

Nanax

I always say to Denise,we should go on as many holidays as we can while we can still get about.I was going to go fishing tomorrow but better go to gym instead because I will miss it on Wednesday when I am bowling.watching F1 now, recorded cricket and watch that, Denise watched tennis.

Jean- forgot to say- hope you get Steve’s biopsy appt sorted, have you got any other hospital trips this week?

Hi Xatie, you’re welcome to join us! Really helps coming on here on FDs especially, lots of encouragement!
Don’t think Xena & I will be popular, we were accidentally very noisy this morning, Xena ran upstairs & barged into son’s bedroom. A 2hr walk has worn her out- briefly!

Morning All..
A beautiful day and for fasting too..

A few jobs in town, just a bit of shopping..checking the circus has left so Charlie can start his park walks again…call in for a coffee might sit outside in the sun…call at the opticians for Steve an eye test….

Jet washing our front wall and paving stones at the back ready for our garden to be sorted…pile of ironing for me….keep me busy and out of mischief….

Hedgehog..
What an early start!!….Glad your favourite trousers are more comfy..I have a few snug ones..it gives you a boost..keep strong with the lead training you will get there..they seem to be good then back to square one…enjoy your HS family today ..hope to hear something today for Steve, apparently they have a morning meeting or we will have to chase it up.
Long very early walk….2 hours she must be shattered ..you too…

Nana..
A long journey with your hubby…..good everything is ok now and you can get on with your life…make every day count!…sunny hunny??where?

Dave..
Definitely do what you can now…we have had to slow down now…still we have pushed a lot in, in the past, we have been to most of the places we wanted…another India trip to finish would have been nice. Cricket amazing!!

Xatie..
Welcome come and join us..we are a friendly lot…

Have a good fasting day…is there a few of us??

Jean x

Jean we’re going to Hunstanton often referred to as sunny hunny and is in Norfolk and faces West across the wash making it one of the few places on the east coast where the sun can be seen setting over the sea.Hope you hear news about Steve soon.
Nanax

Jean or should I say Barbara Woodhouse 😁,walkies 😀.Very sunny today here.Welcome Xatie you will like it on here,very friendly.I will take Heidi out before it gets too hot and all the kids are at school.She gets nervous around humans 😆 unless they have a dog then she is happy to stay.There are lots of eastern Europeans close by,and there children are all scared stiff of Heidi,now after a year of running away they have got brave and suround her to stroke her,she is not too sure so tries to escape 😄.

Fast day today,had two cups of tea, nothing else.I forget to say I won the first prize in the raffle at the bowling club😄, nothing special in the prizes,there was three bottles of wine, male and female smellies, I chose a big box of PG tips 😄, I won another prize but told them to re-draw it.

The gym was a killer today,only four people including myself,so no hiding place today,Ruby did every exercise with us🥵🥵🥵. Still got to take Heidi out again yet, just having a cuppa first.Salad for tea so a good fast day today.

Evening everyone,
Just got back from our trip to the coast and it was very warm and sunny so had to have an ice cream 🍦 as well as my fish & a handful of chips didn’t have any breakfast and won’t be having anything else today as I’m still full.I have counted the calories to be 1025 for the day and according to my fitness app I’ve walked 6.5 miles because we decided to park at the small seaside village of Heacham and walk into and back to Hunstanton along by the sea and boy does my knee hurt now but if I don’t continue to walk I’ll end up housebound and that’s not an option.

Dave well done on the bowls and the gym impressive on a fast day.

Jean what a good boy Charlie is he deserves one of the biscuits that you baked for him. Glad things are gathering pace for Steve.

Mel yes good friends are hard to find we’re very lucky as all of ours live locally.

Minols sounds like you’re having a good holiday 5:2 will be waiting for you when you get back. I’ve been known to look forward to a fast day after being away on holiday.

Xatie welcome to this forum I’ve only been here a short time myself but everyone on here is so friendly.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

Nanax

Evening!
Minols- have a lovely trip, don’t spend too much in the jewellers!
Jean- Friday will be a long day for yiu then…thinking of you. Great that you were complimented on Charlie!! Don’t think that will happen with Xena right now! Enjoy your park walks again!
Dave- well done winning tea bags! 😂 you will hurt tomorrow, I always used to hide at the back doing aerobics! Poor Heidi getting surrounded by children!
Nana- sounds like you had a good day out! Was it sunny? Been cloudy here all day! 🍦🍦🍦🍦your poor hubby had a long old spell of treatment; thought a year was bad enough for Dad when he haf bowel cancer…glad you’re making the most of your time now ☺
Mel- enjoy your nonFD…nice to have a holiday with friends to look forward to, must admit we prefe to have time just the 2 of us, but then we still have the ‘boys’ at home…
Kay, Lynne, Cakey- hope you’re all okay…
Eldest home safely from holiday, had a good trip. Homestart visit was very long- mum asked if I’d go with her to a photography session- it was an hour & a half round trip, it took 2 hours for the photos, so was very late back! There’ll be some gorgeous photis, but it was exhausting! Then had to do shopping…Xena had another vet visit for a poorly ear. Had a boring walk working on lead training later & then a mad game in the garden as she’d not had a run!
Fasted okay but not eaten healthily!😱

Hedgehog..
What a long visit to the home family and going to get the photos done, when you was not expecting it…….poor Xena in the wars hope the vet sorted her ear out…I think Friday will be half a day unless he starts his bleeding!..a very early start.

Cakey…
Always so busy…well done on your 5 k run tonight you must be so proud of yourself. A big pat on your back…good keeping you weight stable…I think it’s nice to maintain for a bit…good news that your skin is feeling better a big balancing act for you…

Jean x

Hi all – just heading out for a run… Could see this far enough!
So proud of you CW – you’re inspiring me! Today I do the first of the week 8 runs but could cheerfully go back to bed! Still, if it means I can have brunch out later… Happy days!

Mx

Morning All..
A lovely day…soon be hitting August and the dark nights coming in…a new one for me walking through winter….

Power washing today a job what has to be done…and I love it 💕I will get wet through…still wood work to be painted in kitchen and lounge I just don’t seem to have any time….

Hedgehog..
Well done on the pound off..hope you get all sorted and packed for tomorrow….get the boys sorted…..where are you going?..we seem to be waking at 6am every morning a bit early…

Cakey..
A month before you go to Scotland..we were going in September but that’s off now maybe somewhere closer if we can.
I always have a pocket full of treats, biscuits, sausage, my baked biscuits..whatever I have about….he sometimes comes and cries and asks for them when at home..a little tinker 😂..goodness did the hound hurt you when you went over?

Jean x

Well done CW and HH great run and loosing more weight.I don’t feel too bad today,must be getting used to it 😁. Very dull here and my phone just put a message on screen saying light rain in 10 minutes 😖.Got to do the shopping and bowling also today,last practice before tomorrow 😦😮.I am not expecting to win tomorrow,I will be happy to get within 8 points.Dont know if it’s going to be another fast day at the moment.

Afternoon All..
Wall all blasted in the front garden and tidy Both sides and the 4 pillars…all clean of moss and green…

Funny you start to do things we have been here 17 years, then disputes about boundaries start…one side is totally right a iron fence wants moving 1 foot to our side…then the other side new neighbours are stating this side front fence belongs to them and they going to change it, they own all three sides of fences at the back, quite bolshy..I thought it was shared, the back fence we bought..I have painted the iron fence at the front for 17 years…her father arrived and was talking and pointing out the window…it’s all fun…they are all party fences and shared it’s on the deeds, and I gain 6” too..if we are are all going to be bolshy!

Nana..
Fancy your grand puppy falling asleep at the vets…bless him(her)…a bit more weight movement in the right direction..good news..

Dave..
Enjoy your bowling today…

Mel..
Good luck on your B2B today, hard going…we used to go away to Spain with a crowd when younger, we decided each day what we were doing between us, then everyone decided what they wanted to do, beach, walking, markets or drinking..even couples and children split up from family’s to do want they wanted…it worked well…

Jean x
