Minols..
Hope you had a nap and you feel better…

Hemmy..
Oh lots of deer I think Charlie thinks they are big dogs…I will be thinking of you on Saturday, have a quiet day…🤗

Kevin..
Birthday, holidays, sun, there is always something coming up…that why it’s a way of life and not a diet..you can change it around to suit….

Well gammon, egg and chips tonight (my own oven chips got them off to a tee)… now the boy to walk…a very lazy day caught up with myself, I was awake about 5.30 a bit early.

Evening, or good night! Just realised I didn’t get round to posting!
Lovely warm walk with Xena, then spent the morning in the garden- where it turned really chilly! Have got our new screen up- looks fine from a distance! Have a couple of gaps to fill with some new shrubs at some point…had to.sort out some techie stuff for a group I moderate- they want moderators of all their groups to join a mods group- more to keep up with! I think some of them don’t have a life! Done our asda order, tried a new recipe tonight- mujahara, lentils & onions with my low carb rice, quite nice & low cal, so I’ve had 600 cals today, pleased with that!
Sleep well everyone! ☺

Morning All..
I am not a happy bunny, I got up a 6 am in the shower and hair wash dashed out to take the boy at 6.45, to get back to go to a double appointment day at the dentist…just rang to say it’s cancelled she is ill….my daughter was going too so hers is cancelled too..

I am fasting today…had the munchies yesterday don’t know what’s the matter not been good with food at all it’s not like me….

Nana..
Glad the frame of the greenhouse is up can be quite tricky at times…nice catch-ups too..

Hedgehog.
Busy too outside, your screens gone up and it’s pleasing to the eye…I am getting used to my different coloured fence now, my bushes have grown about 4” , grass seed covering in nicely after a slow start.

Minols..
Sounds like a messy kitchen hope he left it tidy…keep out of the fridge!!….thinking of you while I had the munchies of custard creams 😂…I must stop buying biscuits, must write out 100 times!

Now the dentist is cancelled…I really should visit my sister….ummmm

Jean x

Jean – I hate it when a plan gets cancelled that I’ve built my routine round…find it really hard to settle to anything else.

Had all today’s cals at lunch, and not hungry…just bored! Have a meeting tonight that I ahve to be at, but I have no responsibility for – hope it will prove distracting! Might need to weigh and measure tomorrow…

Mx

Evening All..
A good fast day possibly 600/700 cals I am ok with that..

I decided on going to see my sister I haven’t seen her for a while…all was well…we went over lots of things she has already told me but went along with it…it was nice to see her…

Dave..
Good you got your jab too with Denise, a bit cheeky but it worked 😂

Minols..
I have felt upside down with plans being cancelled..sat here at 9am everything done dressed and ready to go…a good morning in the end.
Weigh in for me tomorrow not really a good week, so not expecting much.

Steve..
No news is good news..no one like hospitals, the food is usually bad…hope he’s ok, has he got a mobile phone?……..it would be fasting every day for me if I was in!

Jean x

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you. Xxxx

Well it quite feels like winter again this evening…. heating’s up.

Well what is going on with us all today on this Fast day lolol… I feel I really have lost the plot today..

I have eaten 2 Lidl’s pizzas .. 2 Portuguese custard tarts .. half a bag of soft dried apricots and just going to get my 2nd G n T not a good day at all. ,, Or a very good day whichever way you look at it lolol

It must be the weather I reckon with us all… spoilt with those lovely early spring days.

Just going to have some prawns in garlic lemon and parsley butter with crusty bread I had planned for tomorrow after weigh in. lolol

Well Lets all weigh tomorrow … draw a line next week… I m wondering if sometimes maybe we just get a bit wayward go against plan like a child lol

We have all done sooo well though .. Xx

Take care all and stay safe..

While we cannot undo what is done,
We can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. ( Never a truer word. ) Xxxx

PS Hey Nana Just seen your post . Sounds like you have been brilliant well done to you. Good luck with the scales. xx

Nana..
A hard day but we got through it, it’s so cold…….it’s been a hard week for me…

Hemmy..
What a lot of food blame Lidl, the tarts are so nice as well as the pizzas..I was like it yesterday really just stuffing my face!..it must be the cold weather..
Love your quote..

Dave..
Hope you are both ok after your jabs…

Jean x

So it looks like everyone has done well.Denises arm is sore after her second jab.Me apart from growing another head 👽feel ok.Going to take Heidi out then rejoin the bowling club followed by Sainsbury’s shopping.

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you Xxxx

More sun today but still chilly. I need to get all my plants out.lol

Well done Minois on losing your inches.. and Nana on your 2 lbs loss. Brilliant news.

Not a good week for me and a 1 lb gain. .. a bit disappointing as all was going so well for weeks.
This week though for some reason I seem to be craving carbs.
I am wondering if it was cutting them right down last week … who knows.

From today I am being very mindful .. and trying to get back on track.

Have a good week-end everyone Take care and stay safe.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again expecting a different result. Xxxx

I paid our subs today £12, not bad for a year. Was absolutely hopeless at bowling today,if I play like this on Monday it will be a whitewash. There are 3 of us driving to the away games, think we take it in turns to use our own car.

Morning all!
Hemmy- sending you a hug today & thinking of you xx
Not a good walk with Xena- eating bracken, praising her & giving her treats for leaving it wasn’t working so had to keep her on the lead, & then a battle to stop her pulling- kept stopping every time she did, so it took a long time!
Trying for a light day today, I think that’s harder for me than fadting, I’m a bit all or nothing!
Hope everyone has a good weekend ☺

Good afternoon again,am I alone😄.Another dull day and it’s just started raining☔Will get soaked the speed Heidi walks.Still off the bread,2 weeks now but I don’t think I am losing much weight. Not been on the scales though.

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you. Xxxx

Its been a lovely warm sunny day but just clouding over and not looking good tomorrow.

We met up with a beautiful pair of Grey hounds this morning .. Blue /grey they have just moved into the village . I never realised what lovely natures they have .. so very majestic and calm. Mr Pip really liked them. lol Oh the owner was lovely .. chatty too. lolol

I often remember the dogs names but not the owners. lolol

H H and Sym.. Yesterday went well .. spent a couple of hours with a good friend I think this the 9th year was not so bad… Softened .. Kristy felt the same. Thank you very much for your kind thoughts Xxxx

Enjoying my meals this weekend but being mindful.. I am finding that going back to my carbs for lunch and dinner work well for me… not hungry in the evening at all. so no rubbish .
Salmon steak this evening with a few small potatoes .. Broccoli and some garlic parsley and lemon mayo. Marked down strawberries from local shop.

Brads.. weather doesn’t look up to much for tomoz with your game. Hopefully you dont get rained off .

Hows everyone else doing this May bank holiday weekend. .. Are you being naughty or nice lolol Well done whatever. lol

Take care all and stay safe..
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a big difference. Xxxx

Evening!
Hemmy- glad that yesterday passed a little easier than others…sounds like you’re being mindful with the eating, nice to meet new people for dog walking ☺
Jean- glad you met a friend on your walk too! The beef sounded nice & enjoy the wine! Hard on your own at weekends…Xena’s ears are usually fine, she’s had a couple of infections, that’s all, Josie was the same. Must be awful for dogs to have constant problems 😞
Dave- hope you didn’t get too wet? Are you having a roast today?
Hope everyone’s okay?
This weekend seems to have flown by! Had a lovely walk with Xena this morning; found somewhere with a bit less bracken! We did some scent work in the garden after online Church too. Kept it light today food wise, but quite a struggle! Hopefully another light day tomorrow & see if there’s any ill effects!
Have a good evening ☺

Morning all – stuck at my desk trying to get ahead a bit as the noy is off on Thursday as well this week for the elections. Having a FD but my colleague is brinign in coffee soon, and half hoping she brings something yummy, too – it would be rude not to!

Mx

Morning All..
A park walk before the rain arrives later..

I am fasting today ..debating what to have to eat later….

Hedgehog..
A lie in for you…I seem to have a 6am alarm in my head every morning..I need to go to a garden centre to have a re think for the cemetery, this dry weather has been no good for plants/flowers…

Minols..
Hoping no cakes arrive..😱

Nana..
Good the greenhouse is up and you can get the plants cleared from inside..So chilly again CH needs a notch or two up…..

A bit of shopping and some flowers / card for my boules friends birthday. Nothing really planned as yet.

Jean x

Back from bowling,lost again but I did play well so not to concerned about losing.It was horrendous conditions, puddles all over green and it really slowed the bowls down.It was pouring down all the game and still is now. Don’t like playing with a coat on but had to. Stripped off now drying clothes.

Good morning everyone, weather still bad but dry at the moment, very windy though. Bowls match again tomorrow then a friendly match on Friday, the Friday team is mixed. Men and women.Still not sure which bowls I like the best. All different weights🥴. Think I will go back on the bread😋😋😋.

Typh00 LOL the chocolate is gone now I gave some to my daughter Sabella and her mummy Nicky had some and the rest I gave to some friend of ours, sorry 🙂

hedgehogs yes I have undone some of the damage that I caused last week. I have lost what I put on plus an extra pound of loss as well, so, all good.

The weighing scales are really good. They made a loud cheer when I had lost some weight, I don’t know technology, where would we be without it.

I’m happy to see people really doing well with the weight loss and every bit counts. 🙂

I am trying something different out where I have soup with 3 breads per day on a Mon, Tues, Thurs and Friday, so, basically it comes to 460 calories and then for the Wed, Sat and Sun I will eat as normal and see how I have done next week. Then the following week change from soup to maybe salad going to the max of 460 calories or just over. It was difficult going yesterday but I scraped through LOL.

Good luck everyone and stay safe

Hi FBBs hope all is well with you. Xxxx

Awful weather again .. just managed to get back from walking before the rain..

Brads .. good luck with your games .. they are keeping you busy.. I cant leave bread out or I just seem to want rubbish carbs to compensate.

Minois.. If you are cold .. maybe go home a hot cuppa and that end of sausage roll .lol

Kev .. you are doing so well. .. its good to shake things up a bit try different things ,, see what suits best.. Its not just one way for all thats the beauty of it.

I have been thinking of trying alternate day fasting on 800 cals. Maybe next week.. Lucky I dont have much to lose now…

Hope everyone is doing well .. Take care and stay safe

Being ok if it happens and okay if it doesn’t is a very powerful place to be. Xxxx

I got weighed after cutting the bread out for a couple of weeks and have lost 6lbs.

I like gnomes they make me smile. It’s raining here now so will be a short walk with Heidi out I will get soaked like I did yesterday bowling.

Evening all!
Dave- that’s good, losing 6lbs, giving up the bread does work for you even if you find it hard!
Kev- well done with your loss too, you’re getting off to a good start!! Hope your new plan works…
Steve- & May the fourth be with you too…spring would be welcome to come back here as well! Hope things go okay with your dad, not easy if they don’t do as they’re told 😬
Minols- hope you warmed up & enjoyed the sausage roll!
Nana- would love a green house to potter in but no room here…hope your hubby enjoys his! The dwarf painting will keep you busy!
Jean- shame about the weather for your boules, is the gate all done now? Hope it keeps the neighbour out!
Hemmy- hope you had a good book to read today, filthy weather! Might be good to do ADF to get the last couple of pounds off! I’m doing a few light days rather than the 800cals, trying to get to the bottom of my iffy tummy- pardon the pun 😂
Hope everyone else is okay…
Too wild & windy here to walk in the forest, decided to take Xena to the park instead, but she was so awful pulling, even keep stopping & making her sit every time wouldn’t work, gave up & went to the little park, so she didn’t have much of a run- then she did exactly the same with hubby this afternoon, so she is in disgrace! She knows how to heel, just gets far too excited to do it 😣 Did haircuts & then floor wash today, Mum had a friend over so spent the afternoon baking- made choc chip shortbread (& gave some to the neighbours), & tarte tatin- gave some of that to mum! & I didn’t eat any 😇 Managed to dodge showers to do a little bit in the garden too.
Have a good evening!

Morning all!
Jean- Xena is pulling really badly- she knows how to heel & does sometimes, but awful walking to the park! I lost the gencon halter thing we had on holiday- she still pulled with that but not as badly- so we decided not to replace it & be really consistent with the lead walking, she’s nearly 3 now so should calm down a little?! Not working though! I’ll take her to the forest today, couldn’t go yesterday as it was so windy, she’s better off lead!
Funny Charlie barking, it could be he’s feeling protective…they are funny!
Hope everyone has a good day, we have to go to the bank today, a few bits of shopping. Hoping for an 800 cal day, tummy seems better!

I had a halti harnes for Heidi when she was younger. But didn’t use it much,she hates it.It was so embarrassing,she rolled on her back and tried to kick it off in the middle of a busy road,on the pavement but lots of people watching her😲. Bowling again today, the sun is out but rain predicted for midday.
