  • Day 26 – Rural Nebraska, USA – Nfd

    On my phone, so a short post. My back got so bad I had to go to the dr on Saturday morning. After an x-ray to ensure there was no cancer or other ugly cause, and a test for a UTI, I’m on all sorts of strong meds to deal with the pain, and have a 5-10 lb limit. Perhaps it was the hour of picking up sticks on Thursday so DH could mow? Who knows.

    I made some excellent choices for brunch yesterday, and lost the plot yesterday evening. Today, I’ll focus on non-negotiable and showing up today for the person I want to be tomorrow– nice quote, @bert1802.

    Some friends came by on Saturday and packed our antique china with incredible skill and care; it’s a relief to have that done. And yesterday morning DH didn’t preach/lead a service, and I didn’t play organ. The first of many, and was fun to be in the pew, side by side. 🥰 We’ll both start missing it soon, but for now, we’re content.

    Okay, time to get at it, a slow job given my weight limitations.

    Have a grand one, everyone!

    Surely I’m not the first , any way putting that long weekend behind me aiming to get at least a couple of good days in , travelling up north very early Thursday

    Oh dear @stitchincarol Hope it improves soon

    Day 27 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD

    Wow, you’re right, @brightonbelle, where is everyone?

    My back is getting better, but I’m thankful to have pills to help. The aggravating thing is that my weight is shooting up despite eating reasonably, but I’m guessing that’s the prednisone, and I’ll drop just as quickly after I take my last pair tomorrow. 🤞

    Has someone volunteered for June?

    I’ll keep an eye out for further posts!

    Day 27……. Florida…….CD

    Yesterday was an FD but a bit disappointed because I ended up at about 750 calories. I know that I at least stayed under the 800 calories. Its not what I wanted.
    Today although a NFD, I am going to try to control it a bit. Well, at least try!

    Well, this is short and sweet as I am a bit behind today because I just have no motivation but it I don’t do something, I’ll be working until the cows come home.

    Have a great day!

    Day 27 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD

    Quick check-in for accountability!

    @bert1802 – don’t be so tough on yourself; 750 cals – that’s a win! 🎯

    @stitchincarol – just what you didn’t need; back pain in the middle of your move?! But, good to hear it’s getting better 🤗

    Weather for ducks here, cold & wet. But another hot day on its way. No wonder everyone is coughing & sneezing 🤧

    Day 27 NE England IF 16:8

    Finally, a couple of successful days of intermittent fasting. Still weighing more than the start of the month, but still a few days to go!🤔

    Cold and wet here too today, but the gardens need some rain. My chilli plants are looking good so I’m hopeful of a good crop this year.

    Day 28 country west Australia NFD
    A few unexpected days away and now days with my DH going round and round the paddock with the airseeder and me making food to keep the man moving !!
    A quick trip to the city ( Perth) tomorrow and then the ling weekend looking after some grandchildren .
    As with many here – life is busy !!
    Not making the best food choices when always on the run but planning for FD tomorrow with much resolve. And resolved to eat as well as possible tonight- going out to dinner and the menu at the local restaurant is pretty limited….. truckies love it because there is a lot of fried food in their front Bain Maries.
    Although to be fair they are making a lot more takeaway salads, healthy wraps, fruit etc.
    Will I have the fish and chips (Fried) or the chicken parmi…..??
    @stitchincarol, I am sorry to hear about your back. Does a heat or cold pack help? Stretches?
    I conduct a pilates class every week and often have to tweak it due to the various injuries people turn up with. 😊
    @iona72, well done on the successful fasting days.😇 I m still amazed at how little 500 calories is. I can’t quite come at black tea or coffee so have to limit these drinks on a FD.🥲
    @funshipfreddie, how are the coasters progressing ? Apologies if you have already told us but I have not been on my computer for a few days due to seeding on the farm.
    I was feeling unbelievably proud of myself for solving Wordle in 2 attempts for 2 days in a row, but then today it took me the full 6 tries!!😲
    And shame on you ,whoever mentioned Waffle!!!!! 😱😱
    I have become quite addicted to the game and have spent far too long in the morning before I get out of bed trying to solve it !!! Have had to stop and limit myself to a few games ONLY at the weekend.
    @bert1802, 750 calories is still. very good result as @funshipfreddie said. Well done.
    Off to walk the dog before it gets completely dark.
    Happy Humpyay.

    Day 29 NZ FD 68.8kg🔻 🌋🏃🏼‍♀️

    I’ve been so busy entertaining and wining and dining…
    My cousin and family have been in Auckland for their daughter’s graduation as an art therapist. She stayed with me during the MA programme which took a bit of stress off studying. She has a BFA but the process of learning about the therapy side of the equation was huge… I used to say to her all you need is P for Pass and she received a First class Honours with Distinction!!! I told her that she had worked too hard!! I’m so proud of her of her!!
    @funshipfreddie I’m sure you’ve noticed the sheet!!
    I have people for dinner tonight and tomorrow night as well…
    I won a raffle at the dog park so have a basket of doggie treats to share out… I’m thinking of putting poached eggs on a slice of dog roll on the the menu tonight… Just kidding!!
    Have to keep going… but will read everything and catch up in the weekend…
    Cheers!!
    Onward and Downward!!

    Day 29 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – FD

    @merryapple – yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on the sheet 👀 You’ve been yoyoing a bit; but I’m sure I would too if I weighed myself every day. Looks like you’re definitely on track to end the month with a loss though. I was planning on B2B FDs for today & tomorrow, but just remembered I’ve got a lunch date tomorrow. So I’ll have to make Friday a good CD. Congrats to your cousin’s daughter! 🎓

    @lilymartin – I’m drowning in coasters. I think I’ve made about 17 sets already. They’re all stunning, though I say so myself. I just hope they sell. Even if they do, I won’t be making a profit. I’ll be happy to recoup what I’ve paid for the supplies. Many of my neighbours are, well, frugal, to put it politely. I heard our complex manager had to start charging R20 per head for the Friday afternoon ‘coffee & cake’ gatherings, because the donations box wasn’t exactly filling up 😅 I got the Wordle in 4 today; but earlier in the week I got it on the last attempt twice in a row. DRONE & GRIFT.

    I guess I could get the ball rolling for the June Challenge, if no-one else wants to do it? I think it’s about my turn now anyway.

    Day 29 UK NFD

    On a train , busy couple of days ahead and I find it challenging to make sensible choices but I’ll give it a go

    Thanks for volunteering for June @funshipfreddie I’ll only be around for the first 5 days then off on my summer hols to Sicily so important I get a few good days in

    Hopefully I’ll be able to log in tomorrow , have a good one all

    Day 29….. Florida…… cd

    Just a quick pop in as I e got a busy day ahead of me.
    CD day as yesterday was a FD, I keep going over by 100-160 calories on my FD So, if that is going to continue to happen, I’m going to focus on CD rather than full NFD.

    Hubby also said he’s going get my treadmill dusted and oiled so I can get back on that as well.

    Well I am off

    Day 29…..UK…..NFD

    Back from my long weekend in France, where the patisseries did not disappoint….. looking to get back to my lower carb eating and a few FDs – feeling the bloat…

    Good to have a break and get away, the weather was kind, we walked miles and miles so all good. Met with a friend which was lovely and feel energised from the change of scenery 🙂

    Haven’t’ dared to see what number the scales will throw at me yet, will wait a few more days I think 😉

    Hope you’re all doing well and finishing the month as you had hoped.

    Take care

    USA. Day 29 FD

    Merryapple, that is wonderful about your daughter! 👍🏻. Also, that’s fun that you won the dog raffle and, no doubt, your dog will appreciate that, too! 🙂

    FUNSHIPFREDDIE, thanks for volunteering for June. I will be there right with you!

    BrightonBelle, I am sure you will enjoy your holidays in Sicily. Sicily sounds lovely.

    Bert1802, sounds like you have a plan, with your husband right behind you.

    ANiceCupOfTea,I wouldn’t be able to stay away from any treats in France, either. I went to school in Paris and loved everything. I even enjoyed learning to eat brains (calves brains, I think)! In any case, their pastries are to die for. I was young then, though, and eating everything did not put any weight on me. I wouldn’t want to try that now!

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day. The rain finally stopped here, at least until tomorrow! 🤗
