EA, I think you hit the nail on the head with the low carb aspect of your diet. People have been telling me this for years and I just didn’t believe them. During my second long plateau, I decided I had to change something and found that cutting out the white carbs made a huge difference. Good luck with your resumption of 5:2 on Monday. You sound slim already. Are you taking the whole family back to blighty – toddler and teen too?
Welcome StayPositive (SP). I treated myself to a variety of Twinings herbal teas for taste treats on FDs. I like peppermint and orange & cinnamon the best. I concur with EA, you’re tough living in a caravan at Ora Banda. I’m also from the UK – south coast. I’d loved to have heard Dr M. speak. He’s given me a new life with the 5:2. Not sure about the health benefits of alcohol though – more and more studies are debunking this as a myth. I find with my advancing years, I’ve lost the taste for alcohol fortunately; I certainly had my share when younger. The calories alone is enough to make me think twice.
Thanks VDO. I’ve never been to Scandinavia, I bet that was lovely. Our Africa trip is at the end of June. I’ve booked some self-catering accommodation so I can maintain control over some of the food. Yes, it would be fun if we could all get together for a long coffee. I haven’t met SueJen in Margaret River but I do have her email address. The people I’ve met from this thread are CharliesMum and FreyaT, both in Fremantle. Neither have posted for many months. You and EA are the furthest out so let us know when you’re likely to be up/down this way and we can fit in with you.
Have a great time in Brisbane Intesha. Hi to Merry and chat tomorrow Cinque.
