Evening!
Feel free to keep the rain Steve, we’ve had enough 😂
Dave- really well done with your loss, hopefully into the next stone next week?
Jean- hope you feel better soon & the painters work a bit harder!
Hemmy- are you working on getting the little extra off?
Nana- hope you’re okay 🤗
Jabba & Slider- it helps to keep coming on, gives a bit of accountability…
Had a liquid FD here today, was really hungry this morning but kept busy so this afternoon was a bit easier! We did shopping, voted, saw younger son, cleaned out the crockery cupboard (it was really dusty?!), & finally got round to cleaning up my old jewellery, very pleased with that…
We’re only going away for a couple of days next week but I’m getting the holiday feeling!

Good afternoon

I can categorically deny any responsibility for the rain that may have occurred in Manchester or any other areas of England in the last 24 hours as we have had enough of our own.

Nana

Well done on your loss this week 2lbs is a very respectable result.

I’m not sure what I’ll lose this week but anything other than a gain is a positive.

Lovely weather today, been bowling, it’s nice in the sun. Hemmy a good few days of sport. Will watch it tonight and tomorrow then the F1 on Sunday. I’ll have to cut back had to much last two days. I might try what you’re doing Nana. I’ve bought some pea pasta , one of the ladies was talking about it on Wednesday so I’ll give it a try.

Evening All..
I am feeling a lot better now more my self..
A walk with Natalie this morning on the riverbank.

The painters finished but coming back Sunday to see me , there are a few things I am not happy with. Workmen are a lazy lot never do things right. I am fussy I would rather do it myself.. but I can’t this!!

I can’t seem to get back into fasting I am finding it really hard.

Hedgehog…
Well done on cupboards and haircuts! Have a nice break.

Nana..
So sad for your daughter especially when you can’t really sort things out.. your friend too hope she’s ok.
Well done on 2lbs off..

Steve..
No rain here, a bit chilly but the sun did come out pm..

Hemmy..
Well done on moving your pound… I can’t get into the fasting zone…Steve loved his F1.. all be busy near you.
We have lots of helicopters flying and rescue boats, police, looks like someone gone in the Ouse River, it’s very fast flowing…sad.

Dave..
Pea pasta… you… 😂🤣 with cheese…

Have a good weekend everyone..
Jean x

Good evening all

Not been a bad day here weather wise but that could change very quickly.

HH

I do watch rugby more union than league but enjoy both, trying to enjoy the football but hasn’t been easy the way England have been playing. And it’s the Tour de France again so happy to watch that too.

Had spag bol with garlic bread for tea so definitely grated cheese on that was lucky to find a small container pot of grated cheese
in tesco.

Evening!
Steve- football very frustrating! I’ve never got into rugby…I do like the cycling but never get round to watching it …Hope you enjoyed your dinner!
Dave- hope the pea pasta is nice, is it an extra protein one? Hope the F1 is good tomorrow, I think it’s on C4 so might watch it.
Jean- very annoying with the painters, hope they put everything right…
Hemmy- have a good weekend, avoid the crowds!
A wet day here again, did some cleaning, trying to get through a book a friend lent me but I keep falling asleep! Have done a FD today, 600cals.

I’ve gained over 3lbs so I have recalculated my TDEE. Will see if that makes a difference. So glad they found the lost dog, it really gets to me if I hear any bad news about dogs. Denise said I should care more about humans but dogs are very close to my heart. Got the F1 on the telly so I’ll watch it all, got beef cooking in the pressure cooker then it will be going into pastry for a nice pie. Will do back to back fast days Monday and Tuesday.

Afternoon All..
A lazy day still not feeling 100%..

I am trying a fast day I feel the weight going on..

Chilly with rain here managed a dry walk… a bit of drizzle about.

Dave..
Did you enjoy your king fu chicken?
Enjoy your beef it sounds delicious.. ham salad for me.. it doesn’t have the same ring….

Steve..
I used to like Rugby Union, I haven’t seen any in ages.
Watched the footy, quite exciting at the later stages.

Hedgehog..
Just finished my book, lazy here… no sign of the painter yet.. I hope he comes.

Hemmy..
How lucky to find the dog such a worry. Hope he was fine. Yeast Vites tablets my Mum used to take them years ago 😂 you will be bouncing about!

Jean x

Good morning everyone the sun is out but according to Alexa it’s going to be showers all week. Will get a dry walk in with Chloe before it comes if I can wake her up. She must sleep 22 hours a day. When I take her out for a walk they all laugh at me, I have to drag her round she walks at about 1mph and that’s her top speed. Get some chews out and it goes to 100mph.I literally have to put my knee up her bum every time just to push her off the doorstep🤣

Afternoon!
Hemmy, I have never heard of yeast vite tablets, hope they help! I’ve tried some for helping the thyroid, will see.. brilliant that you were able to find the dog, such a worry otherwise…
Jean- I think you needed some lazy days, take it easy with the fasting while you recover! Naughty Charlie…
Dave- hope recalculating your TDEE works, you’ve done well, would be good to keep that up …poor Chloe, a shame she doesn’t enjoy her walks!
Had a baking day yesterday, made brookies for the firemen (& 1 each for us!) All packed now & leaving shortly for our couple of days away, hope there’ll be plenty of gaps in between the showers or it’ll be miserable! No fasting here but will try not to eat too much!
Have a good few days!

Chloe is mad, if I say are we going she goes banana’s. Then once we are out she just walks behind me. She likes all the sniffing just not other people or dogs. She’s fast asleep on my sofa with her legs dangling over my thigh.

Good morning all

From an overcast morning here so wouldn’t be surprised if we get some rain some time during the day.

I weighed myself this morning and nothing has changed so on the positive side I haven’t gained anything which is a bonus.

I had some Tunnock’s teacakes over the weekend so that probably hasn’t helped the weight.

Hemmy plenty of sport still and the speedway world cup is on Tuesday Wednesday Friday and Saturday all close by. I can hear the engine’s from our house.I normally go bit it’s £200 if I went to them all.I have recalculated my TDEE so knocked a couple of hundred off it.

Good afternoon friends.. Xxxx

Its the best day here today for a while.. Dull morning but sunny now and blue sky and NO RAIN> lol

A good walk then was going to my neighbours for a natter .. but decided to come back and do a line full of hand washing.. Then I made a pan of chicken.. bacon and odd bits of veg soup.. I am making it the old way on the top of the cooker. It smells and tastes absolutely delicious .. I swear it is much tastier than the croc pot.

So that’s easy dinner this evening. Its England FOOTBALL Yay.

I think this week I am writing off ..putting myself on holiday with Nana and H H lolol Start next Monday again.

TBH I am soo glad to have my appetite back I know Kristy was worried about it. I think I had been a bit down missing those that have gone. Life goes on though.

Time to book some lovely outings I think ..I will look at Blenheim Palace see what s on there.

Dave… Are you making the curry? Come on England. A few wines and treats tonight.. lolol …

Sym.. How are you feeling today.. These Yeast Vite seem to really be bucking me up thank goodness.

Steve .. what are you up to today. Step away from those teacakes please lolol

Have a good day everyone..

Happiness is in the small things. Xxxx

Had a really lazy day today just reading a good book with some music on in the background.

Hemmy

I have no choice but to stay away from the teacakes as I have none left but not something I would recommend doing too often if trying to lose the pounds.

England are playing tonight so will see what happens and if Sunday will be another day of nerves waiting to see if we can end the 58 years of hurt. Unfortunately I missed the world cup win as I wasn’t born until the December of that year.

Hemmy it definitely won’t be curry🤮 I’m having Korean chilli chicken and rice, might throw a few chips in with it.Steve I went to the world cup in 1966 ,I attended 3 games at Old Trafford.I went with my dad and uncle. I’m trying to stick to 1500 calories each day and see where that takes me.

Evening!
Hemmy- hugs to you, hope you’re feeling better!🤗 Have a nice day out tomorrow…
Jean- hugs to you as well, you & Steve were so close, of course you miss him 🤗 Good to have a proper dinner & glass of wine…
Nana- have a nice break in Norwich! Well done losing a bit more…
Dave- how hot was the chilli chicken?! Hope you lose with the 1500 cals, you should do 🤞
Steve- what sort of books & music do you like? The footie was a bit nerve wracking! Sunday will be more so…
We had a nice break, sunny when we got there so enjoyed time outside, a lovely space & view. Xena was so happy, all very secure so we just let her out the car to explore while we unpacked, she played for ages with her ball. It was bigger than most huts so had a sofa & she slept on there at night, a very good girl Wednesday was really wet, got out in the brief dry spells, lazy the rest of the day. We were left lots of goodies so not eating too much didn’t quite happen! We didn’t have big meals though. Have done a liquid FD today, did well as me met youngest in a café & I resisted the cakes. Rang my HomeStart families & caught up on the washing.
Meeting my friend & her dog for a walk tomorrow, we’ve not met up for a few weeks…

Evening All…
We walked at our local big park, Charlie does like it I really must go more. A bit damp so not many people about, so nice.

Faffing opening a new on line bank account, I did very well. I can transfer money from my main Santander to Skipton building society.

A good fd about 500 cals.

Typhoo..
Like you this awful weather reading a good book which I have now finished tonight. A new one to start.

Hemmy..
I don’t cook big dinners now more snacks or jackets with something. Just can’t be bothered.
Good homemade soup is tasty did you have bread too?
Enjoy your ‘ holiday’

Nana..
Enjoy your break away.

Hedgehog..
Your trip away sounded lovely and with tasty treats . Nice Xena could roam freely.

Dave..
Hope your new recipe was enjoyable and didn’t go in the bin!

Jean x

Good morning all

Dave

Definitely envious of you going to see England during the 66 world cup I’ve never seen them win anything but hopefully that’s going to change on Sunday.

HH

I like to listen to rock,metal and very much a blues fan though I do like some pop too. I read horror, thrillers and alot of autobiographical books I’m currently reading My effin life by Geddy Lee from Rush.

It’s another cloudy morning here so not looking too promising for the rest of the day.

Evening!
Jean- well done sorting bank accounts…good job you got plenty of books from the charity shop a while back!
Steve- I like thrillers too…not so keen on autobiographies, I did enjoy John McCarthy’s story though.
Dave- shame about the bowls, good you liked the chilli chicken!
Put on 1.5lbs this week, not too bad with being away…
Had a good long walk with my friend & Juno, he was quite naughty…but Xena’s a pain pestering for treats! Saw Mum this afternoon, am taking her to get her ears syringed next week but it was such a palava booking the appointment online!
It’s Xena’s 6th birthday tomorrow, hoping the weather is nicer so we can take her to the beach!

Good morning Friends. Xxxx

Ohh tired again this morning .. a long day out yesterday .. out to lunch and shopping 12–5pm .. tack on to that 1 1/2 hours walking Pip before hand .. then straight out in the garden for an hours play after. Soo a long day on my feet.

I am now 4lbs up on my best weight .. I haven’t been weighing every day as I have got complacent being the lowest weight.

Wellll after the footie tomorrow .. things will change.. Back to eating 3 small meals a day no rubbish .. Wine e no no.

It made me think yesterday and brought it home to me about this weight as my friend has really gained pounds..she has a sweet tooth and hasn’t been well.
She is struggling to get in her clothes .. its such a shame as she loves fashion

I reckon lololol this ole weight lark for me is either not eating enough and weight going low.. or eating too too much and spiralling lolol

Right A line drawn under .. from Monday a fresh start …

My favourite music.. is Barbara Streisand .Motown .. Classical . I love it all not mad on Jazz though.

Dave .. what is the Chicken chilli receipe?

Steve.. Have you got any treats in for the footie ..

H H you did well with the scales this week after being away.

Nana .. Well done losing this week.

Sym.. I think the most important thing is to feel A1 again.. .. When low its easy to revert to treating ourselves….Thing is when we have the extra lbs it makes you feel more sluggish .. Be kind to yourself and rest up get your book out feet up. Xx.

Enjoy your day everyone..

NOTHING FEELS SO GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS> xxxx

Hemmy the chilli chicken recipe is go to Sainsbury’s and buy it in a box😁.I will be getting out again though only takes 25 minutes to make. When I had my hearing aids done at the hospital they said they never use an ear syringe. That said it’s a thing of the past and they said absolutely no water should be put in the ear. They said it is bad for your hearing. They used a machine to suck out any wax. When I’ve been to my own GP they did the same. Just been out with Chloe and it’s trying to rain. It’s spoiled the speedway and it’s the main event tonight so hope it stays away. Chloe will be 7 this year, I’ll get her a nice meal when it’s her birthday.I never liked Motown but quiet like it now, still prefer rock though.

Steve in 1966 I went to 3 games at old Trafford, unfortunately England played at Wembley.I did see Eusabio play though and he was the top scorer in 1966 world cup finals.It was the first time I went to old Trafford.I started watching Man City in 1962 and typically they got relegated.My dad used to go to watch City one week and United the next. When I was born he stopped going to watch United.We won what is the equivalent of the speedway world cup last night so come on England tonight at the football. I’ve ordered a smart ring and a new phone which comes with a smart watch and ear buds. So I will be able to track all heath things.

Not finding it easy to watch the football🥺
Had a lovely day yesterday with Xena, stayed dry for our beach walk & breakfast at the cafe, we went to a village show & car boot near us, got some plants & a few bargain toys for great-nephew. Got the plants in, washed the toys & popped them round to sis. I did some scent work with Xena in the garden which she loves, then hubby took her to the park where she had a play with one of her boyfriends! She was shattered in the evening! Not done so much today, Church & have done pulled pork as youngest came for dinner. He had to go home to be on call so will watch the football at home…
Re syringing ears, the ‘hoover’ thing some places use now just isn’t strong enough suction to clear ears out, that’s why alot of places use water still…our GP practice don’t do it anymore so have to pay, a nurse has set up a clinic nearby & charges half the price of the private one who tout for business at our GPs!

Good afternoon everyone.. Xxxx

It started off a lovely day this morning its now drizzle and quiet chilly.

What a disappointing end to the game for England yesterday.. so sad and not meant to be .

Well thats the end of a week. of treats,, Back on the straight and narrow today..

Just a big milky coffee and a satsuma for breakfast .. cheese and cucumber sandwich lunch and eggs on toast this evening..

Tomorrow its the monthly meet up for lunch with Chris at the Garden Centre.

Enjoy the afternoon everyone..

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Xxxx
