Afternoon All…
Just been to my butchers and bought a load of meat…I am naughty wanted pork rib chops for Jacqui on Monday, so bought 4, then 2 bacon chops and sliced bacon for FD dinner tomorrow .. sausage roll now for lunch…Charlie came for the ride topped up petrol too.

I am suppose to be running freezer down, wanted shin beef but he didn’t have any, I have some portions cooked so it wasn’t a problem.

Hemmy…
The dog barks when they are out, she doesn’t like being on her own, it drives me crazy… I have been around but they are not talking to me now… I was very nice the first time and they were happy and said they would sort it then it went to 1am, I wasn’t happy at all!..!!.., it’s totally unacceptable.
Sounds as if you are fasting today.. planned meals bought.. I tend to batch freeze which is working well.

Cuppa now

Wow that’s low for petrol Dave. Diesel is still £1.72 litre round here.

Another day of sleeping. Must be what my body needs. Still alternating between sweating and shivering but my temperature has come down so hopefully this is on the way out. I wonder if I’ve had a mild dose of flu? My mum will be saying ‘I told you so’ as I didn’t have the flu jab nor the last covid jab! I wanted to get my immune system back to fighting by itself. Well I’ve stretched it now 😄

Luckily Neil is off all week, so we can delay going to my mums for a day or so if necessary although we do want to be home next weekend so that Neil has some time resting before going back to work.

Not fasting today, I’m just eating small amounts through the day, mainly if I fancy something or if I need something in my stomach to take tablets.

I have been fancying porridge, with all this porridge talk, but we haven’t got any milk in and porridge with water is not for me!

Going to have to make up some soups for the freezer and some batch cooking of meals.

Jean, that’s not good with the dog barking. It’s a shame for the dog too.
Our new neighbours in the corner of the Close are out a lot and if they have left the dog at home for a long time into the evening, it starts howling.

Neil is cooking us a light pasta meal, plenty of garlic!

Hello

It’s been a very nice dry day here so absolutely no complaints about the weather today.

Been enjoying the FA cup football over the weekend some very enjoyable games and surprises from the lower league teams.

The kitchen is now closed here and the first fast of the week has begun hopefully I will start to enjoy them again after a couple of weeks.

Evening All..
I have had a good fast day, swapped from Monday… I have my daughter coming for a meal tomorrow..
A couple of good walks, lovely this morning but very cold this afternoon walk.

Kay.,
Hope you feel better to visit your mum. I like milk in my porridge, sugar and a touch of jam.. I find it quite filling.

Dave ..
Enjoy your meal out tonight. Hoping Denise has had a good birthday.

Hemmy…
M&S meals sound just right I don’t have one locally.. although I desperately need some jeans so I will have to travel to one, nearest about 40 mins away.
Wellies out here on the river bank it’s quite muddy.

Steve..
Hope the footy has been good games for you..

Good morning, going bowling but it’s raining😒. hopefully just a shower. Fast day today so the bowling will help take my mind off food.

I’m currently watching My 600lb life about very overweight people in the USA who are put on a 1200 calorie diet for a few months in order to have stomach reduction surgery.

Normally watching them stuff their faces with fast food before they get help would make me cringe but today it’s only making me feel hungry. 😃😇

Hi Everyone. Xxxx

Its been an enjoyable day.. early walk and lunch out with Pam then a look around the charity shops.

I am trying to regain interest in things I did before losing Mum…I never realized what a big part she played in my life.
A new years resolution. ” Get on with it” what she would have said lol

An ok day so far with food.. will fast tomorrow. This evening having a bacon roll .. Tomorrow one of the M&s meals 300cals. .. I wont be bothering with them any more lol. I must start batch cooking.

Enjoy the football Xxxx

Evening All..
A lovely evening with my daughter and a lovely meal cooked.. it’s so different cooking for two we both enjoyed it.

Popped out to get some hair products from town a bit further away I can’t buy them locally.

Dave ..
Hope you played your bowls and the weather kind… heavy rain for us tomorrow boules I think will be off..well done on your fast day.

Steve..
Well done on your liquid fast.. I watch the 600 lb programme it’s so very sad..

Hemmy..
Batch cooking does work out much cheaper.. still I did slow roast pork ribs tonight, we ate one each I was freezing two… I then sent Jacqui home with one.. so frozen one!
She is on her own now everybody out working and one in Aussie .. so it’s another easy food night for her.

Night

Good morning

Yesterday’s fast went well though I did have very cold feet all day it doesn’t make a difference how many hot drinks I have.

I wouldn’t like to be the size of some of the people on that show that they have difficulties with the basic things like having a shower or just walking short distances.

I’m wondering if I have got things round the wrong way and should be doing the liquid fast on Thursday to get the maximum results for the weigh in.

Good luck to all those who are fasting today and remember to enjoy the experience.

Good afternoon, horrible day.I took Denise to Spanish lessons then took Chloe around the park. It’s never stopped raining all day so got soaked. Got to pick her up at 2 then I have an appointment at the dentist at 3, first one since COVID. They kept canceling them. So fingers crossed I’ll be ok.I think one of my front teeth is slightly lose so will see what happens.

Hi Everyone. xxxx

What a miserable day .. I did manage a relatively dry walk .. but its so dark and damp.

Having a fast day not counted the cals properly but should be ok.. Milky coffee .. lunch 4 crispbreads and a small piece of cheese 2 picked onions. then the last 300 cal meal this evening .. so should be within 800 cals.

TBH I always did 800 if I do 500 I want to eat more the next day lol.

Sym .. I think i must use the croc pot more. .. Lovely having time with your daughter … you must miss the family in the States.

H H .. I love the M&S meals.. but not mad on this count on us low cal range. I think its true better to have less of something good .. then more of low cal which doesnt hit the spot Not the flavour lolol.
Well done on your pound loss.

Enjoy the rest of your day every one. Xxxx

1164 calories so a low day. The dentist took an x-ray and said no infection but a slight loss of bone. I’m ok so go back in 6 months.

Still no more food just a cuppa.If I go bowling tomorrow I’ll eat less but if it’s too wet I’ll eat 3 meals instead of 2.Ninjas are great Hemmy, I’ve got 2 and use them every day.Much healthier, no oil needed.

Afternoon all

Not the best day weather wise but at the moment it is dry though it does look like it could rain at anytime.

Had my porridge per usual with some syrup and definitely enjoying it more than with the sugar I was having.

Got my warmer socks ready for the fast tomorrow though it shouldn’t be too bad as I will at least be eating something.

Hi everyone… hope you are having a good day. xxxx

A decent early walk but went down hill with the weather at noon.

Lucky we got a dry walk in. .. just went out to play but it s raining too much .. silly getting soaked.

So fed up with the constant rain. No inclination to do any spring cleaning… others seem the same. Its that after Christmas New Year slump.

Its a good day calorie wise so far .. not decided on dinner yet.

Keep going anyone fasting .. you can do it.

Tomorrow is another day Xxxx

Evening!
Jean- so pleased for you that your sister’s settled & not desperate to get home, a big relief I’m sure!
Dave- hope you get a dry day soon! You’ve been doing so well with your FDs & low days, hope that the scales are good to you on Friday 😀
Hemmy- does make you feel so gloomy with the rain, I just feel like curling up with a book!
Eaten more today, feeling a bit on edge as we’re collecting mum tomorrow, she’s been away 2 weeks so will probably find it hard getting back to being on her own, her phone’s not working either so will have that to sort out! Got ours & her shopping today, made dinner ready for tomorrow in case we’re late, & one for mum. Xena is going to my sister’s, hope she behaves! My sister’s old dog who died last year hated other dogs so she couldn’t go before…

Good morning everyone.Wet again but it’s stopped at the moment.Bowling AGM this afternoon,off to the park now for linedancing,not me though. It’s 10°C here at the moment but feels much cooler. Hope your all having a good day. Steve I’ve just put the thickest pair of socks on I bet I take a size bigger in shoes now. Jean good your sister is doing better in hospital.

Yes feet nice and warm but got soaked twice taking the dog out. My last dog a German Shepherd loved meeting other dogs but my greyhound is totally the opposite she is scared stiff of all dogs, so I have to keep an eye out for other dogs. Fast day going ok,I feel hungry so I brushed my teeth again, that stops me feeling hungry.I used to do that when I was quitting smoking.

Jean I don’t think she will ever make friends, she’s 5 now and set in her ways.A shame really but she as got us.And she’s seems happy. She’s a very loving dog, quiet often she puts her head on my neck.

Hi Everyone. xxxx

Its been a rainy day here again.. so fed up with it now..but I tell myself it could be worse and deep snow. lol.

It s been a good day today being a fast day .. see what happens tomoz lol

Oh Sym that barking must be driving you mad .. its not fair on you or the dogs. Are there any more neighbours you can discuss it with.

H H.. When you talk about your Mum .. I can soo relate to it… wondering how she would be when I picked her up on a Saturday. I miss her soo much.

Brads .. Chloe obviously found herself a loving home. So good for you all.

Typhoo .. Dry warm feet and you can walk for miles. lol

Enjoy your evening all .. whatever you are doing Xxxx

Evening!
Sounds like you’re all doing well with the fasting 👏 hope it shows on the scales…having a couple of days off here.
We picked mum up okay, hopefully her phone just needs charging, she forgot her charger- she forgot lots of stuff actually, I wish she’d accept some help. Xena was good at my sister’s though 😀
Youngest came for a haircut tonight too.
Eldest is away this weekend, we’ll be alone 😉

I’m very happy with my weigh in, I’ve lost 11lbs, I’ve stopped eating anything after 6pm so I’ve done some 24hour fasts without trying. Well done Steve a great loss. Hope it’s good news for the rest of you all.

Well done Hemmy,a pound is a good amount,I must admit I was shocked when I got on the scales,I got weighed again to make sure it was correct.I will keep doing what I’ve been doing and see what happens.

Well done Dave on your weight loss this week 11lbs is an amazing amount to lose I would have been getting on and off the scales for a while just to make sure.

Hemmy

1lb is a good steady loss do that every week and you’ll soon be at your weight goal.

I still want to lose another 20lbs but it’s a good start towards that.

Evening All…
A late start this morning, Charlie was up in the night so a lie in…
A bit of snow falling blue skies I think moisture falling changing to snow.. it was strange.

Stayed the same this week a few ounces lost but not enough.

Hemmy..
Well done on loosing a pound.. good you got the washing blowing on the line..we are very muddy here if we go on the river bank.. snow next week..
High flood alerts too.

Steve..
A good 3 lbs off well done… our bodies are strange…

Dave..
Brilliant over the month 11 pounds is really good going… I don’t know if I could do a full fast…

Kay.,
You have been unwell and away do not too bad ..
