Afternoon All..
A different walk and did some bramble picking on the way..quite a big bag full. I shall give them to Jacqui on Sunday. Walking with Natalie….

We have a narrow boat cafe, she comes occasionally so I went down for breakfast/ brunch..quite nice sitting on the canal side… she is here three days then comes back at the end of the month.

I lost 2lbs this week 😊

Charlie has had another seizure yesterday only a small one.. looks like it’s something we have to live with…I still think it’s to do with his flea tablets it will still be in his body..or maybe not???
He is fine today.

Hedgehog..
A different walk for you near the river.. would Xena be in the mud? Always nice when it’s early…ice cream sounds tasty ..

Hemmy..
You are more stable with your weight than me.. I have done well this week.. I shall try and be mindful again…
Lots of weeding in the garden always lots to be done.. I don’t like ivy it’s such a pain..

Nana..
You seem very in the wars with lots going on.. so sad for poppy at such a young age.. glad your aunt and friend are out of hospital.
Enjoy your meal..

Dave..
Good luck on your bowls today.. it’s very windy here but warm.

Have a good weekend..

Got hammered at bowls lost 21-4 but they’re was worst than me. I think we got a record low team score. But they slaughter every team when they play at home. Turned into a nice sunny day, my son’s home to Wolverhampton to watch wrestling, he’s staying over so just Denise and I and Chloe😁.

Good morning everyone a clamy day today. No sun out but humid. Off to hospital soon to take Denise to see the Doctor about her knee. Got to go miles away to an hospital I’ve never even seen. There are quite a few hospitals in Manchester. I’ve been a good boy so far this week and kept under my allowance for food. Chilli and rice for tea,I won’t have breakfast or dinner,lunch if you prefer.Football today the charity shield.I think United will win easily 😭😭City will probably play their reserves but it dosent count for much.

Not good news for Denise, she’s got to lose weight before they will consider operating on her knee. Not of a shambles really she only seen a nurse who didn’t weigh her or measure her hight. Told her to come back in 4 months. I can help her with the weight loss so see how it goes.

Good morning everyone, last day of the Olympics,I like watching the Olympics especially the athletics and cycling.My dad used to take me to watch cycling and they also had athletics on at the same time. The cycling track was outdoors with a cinder track for athletics at the bottom.Chicken for tea tonight I think I’ll do roast potatoes in duck fat 😋😋😋. Will stop doing it soon to help Denise out maybe then have jacket potato.Denise is really down because it’s almost impossible to lose enough weight for her operation and she’s inn a lot of pain and painkillers just don’t work for her.

A very hot day here, out early walking.. popped to Jacqui’s for lunch and chat.

I am now fasting into Monday hopefully..

Dave..
Sorry to hear Denise has to loose a lot of weight before the op. Hope you can give her some encouragement it is hard when you can’t move about. It’s getting her mind set you can’t do anything without getting focussed …

Very hot and boy wants to walk….

I’ll help her, she’s starting tomorrow. She was very good last time she had to lose weight too have her knee done. I think the doctor gave her some tablets to start her off, but don’t know if they still do it now. Better take Chloe out in sure she as a built in clock 😁.

Good afternoon everyone Xxxx

Its a hot one today and even hotter tomorrow…Hot for the dogs.

A lovely walk at 8am just a nice breeze.. I have not been doing much today having a day of rest.

I am not sure what to eat later ,, maybe jacket potato with cheese and tomatoes.

Dave.. I bet Denise is fed up .. its hard when you really are forced to diet..You can both do it together though. Do you eat the same things. I would ask about the tablets though as she need s to lose the weight for medical reasons they might help her.

Sym.. Lovely to have lunch at Jacqui’s ..does she live very far away from you. I hope your fasting goes well..

Happy Sunday everyone.. Xxxx

We normally have different food apart from Sunday. She can eat lots of things I can’t bare. She likes salads, and to be honest she dosent eat that much, she dosent like junk food ie burgers. Her salads are extremely colourful,a real work of art. I know when I went to see our GP she referred me to the weight loss program and also said that there is no weight loss pills for at least 12 months.

Good evening all

It’s Monday so it’s my usual fasting schedule today nil by mouth except for very low or zero calorie drinks.

I’m very happy with my new headphones which I did get to use at silly o’clock this morning as I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep.

Good luck to all those fasting today and remember it’s only for one day and tomorrow we can eat normally.

Evening All..
I have done a 26 hour fast, then very hungry didn’t want to nibble so ate…350 cals.

A funny day warm but very overcast, humid.

Just heard Singapour airlines are finishing my flight next year to Texas… it means Heathrow I don’t know if I can do that. It means a train, getting then across London on tube, and carrying my case then hotel over night.

Charlie is a bit off ish been in his bed all day… he had a do with a dog this morning and fell on his side.. I think he might be sore..more his fault.. they came round the corner and took him by surprise…

Dave..
Hope they may give Denise some tablets to kick start her…Benidorm sounds a good idea.. go for it..

Hemmy…
Jacqui lives 35/49 mins away so not too bad, we have had road works on the bridge for 4 years so it slows us down. She is coming here on Thursday.
I need to cut the grass tomorrow..

Steve.,
Good the ear phones are working well..

Keep going faster..

At the speedway writing this while they have an interval. Were winning by 8 points but don’t think it will be enough to get the bonus point. Denise was on the phone to the doctor asking about some pills to help her, I overheard her while I was in bed She’s not said anything about it so don’t know what was said.Hungry now not had any food today.

Good morning people,a dullish day here and rain expected this afternoon, it always rains when we go shopping.Chloe met a big dog in the park she’s seen it before so she didn’t try to get away. it’s about the same size as her but very gentle. Going fishing tomorrow waiting for my maggots and worms to be delivered in the post.

Hopefully we miss the storms .. at the moment nothing on our local BBC weather chart.

Not sure what to have for meals today… I have lots of veg to use up… Maybe a soup.

Sym.. How is Charlie today .. its very hot for them ..Pips in and out not settling.. I have put water in a spray bottle and keep spraying him .. Yes the grass is growing very quickly at the moment mines due for a cut Thursday .

Enjoy your day everyone. You have to let go of the life you have to blossom in a new way. Xxxx

Afternoon All..
Charlie seems to be back to normal they do worry you.. he goes strange before a seizure but it has passed. He did have a bad somersault do with another dog in the morning maybe he was sore or in shock…

Cut the grass and I have been shopping… just sat outside in the shade having a cuppa..

I really don’t know about these long fasts, just the 5.2 works for me….. I lost the 2lb then put it back on over 2 days when eating, this long last fast lost 1 lb..
Although the not eating is quite easy to do better than I thought.

Dave..
Have you asked Denise if doc gave her tablets? Hope they did to help her start.

Hemmy…
Charlie likes it very hot outside, I wish he drank more water…..strange I like soup in hot weather. I have done bacon open so might have a butty tonight.
Nice to have Kirsty coming up for a few days.

Nana..
Good your friend is improving 🤞🏻

Don’t the shopping, Chloe met a dog that’s her own size, she’s seen it before it made a beeline fire her once it seen her but did stop when it got close to her, she was ok with it. I asked Denise about pills but she didn’t say one way or the other so not pushing it. Going to look now if I can find a nice hotel in Benidorm only everyone seen Benidorm on TV and I dint mean the show.My maggots arrived in the post cost £6 postage 🤪 the maggots are cheaper. Got dinner worms as well from Willy Worms😁. Lots to do if we’re going away in a month.

Jean- glad that Charlie is okay today, they are such a worry! Well done with the fasting, the liquid ones do seem to be all that work for me now…

Hemmy- nice Kristy is coming again!
Nana- good that your friend is improving. Hugs to you all, you must be missing Poppy 🤗
Steve- good you’re making use of your headphones! Well done with your fast…
Just been enjoying the hot weather the last few days, Mum came for a BBQ one night, we’ve been out to the beach & lunch out at a riverside pub…not fasted, we decided to have a nice week before I start back on keto as eating out can be hard for me …there’ll be time for fasting next week!

I have done keto for quite a while before, it is difficult, but I don’t feel very good when I eat too many carbs so hope I’ll feel better with it…
Another hot day here, did our shopping, a big pile of ironing I’ve been putting off, & made some cheese bread again we had with salad tonight (while I can still eat it 😂).
Hope everyone is okay…

Evening everyone, a quick check in. I managed to lose a pound this week despite having a Chinese takeaway last Friday and a lunch out on Wednesday with my OH, sister and brother in law to celebrate my late mums birthday at her favourite place to go which was a local garden centre, however, I was so full that I didn’t eat anything else that day.
Dave a nice holiday to look forward.
Hemmy hope you’re enjoying time with your daughter.
Just back from visiting my friend who had the stroke and she’s incredible you wouldn’t know that anything had happened to her.
A very nice chicken tikka biryani this evening only going to eat half of it. A nice couple of glasses of white wine also.
Hope everyone else is keeping alright.
Have a good weekend everyone.

We had a lovely evening out with son & gf, all felt quite grown up & made me feel really old! I had a lovely paneer butter masala but some of the others’ food was only mediocre! They were looking after gf’s family’s dog Pixie, she’s blind & nervous of new people, I took lots of treats so she did keep coming to me! Had a late walk with Xena & we met lots of different dogs, Xena was really good with them all. Just a lazy day after that. A FD for me tomorrow & then starting keto.

Good luck with the Keto, don’t think I could do it myself.I think Denise as gone to get weighed so will see how she’s done soon. I’ll get weighed on Wednesday. The only trouble with holiday is I gain a stone every time I go, but can’t be dieting on holiday.Bowling Mon,Tue, Thursday and Friday this week. I found a great app for airport it tells you everything but it cost£30+ per year so forget that I only go once this year.
