Good afternoon everyone Xxxx
Its a dull and windy day here.. I hope the sunshine is with you. .
We are having a easy weekend here .. it very quiet in the village no BBQ smells at all. Our local shop is open.
Enjoyed the G P race yesterday from Monaco .. I went there years ago ..a beautiful fairy tale place.
This evening its Bacon egg tomatoes and a few homemade chips. and some Tesco trifle.
A S.. Your garden sounds lovely ..is it a large plot..
Dave.. Any luck with the weather on getting the door finished.
H H .. Oh well done on getting to your goal weight.. After awhile it gets easy staying there as your stomach shrinks. I do notice now when I eat with friends they eat more than I do.
Sym.. What a good idea with the polish. Have you chosen the one for your holiday yet.
Enjoy the afternoon everyone. Treat every day like it is a special one. Xxxx
Good thinking HH. Back from speedway it started raining just as the speedway finished.Ipswitch are the top team this season, the Witches are riding well. It was cold at the speedway, glad to get home. I’ll spray the door hinges with paint stripper then try and take the doors off with my new tools. Feels cold in the house today might put the fire on. Must decide what to have for tea later.
Afternoon!
Tea break here, been doing some cleaning, forecast was for rain so we decided not to risk going out anywhere! I’m doing a FD, the fridge was looking a bit bare, suggested a few things to hubby for his dinner, nothing appealed so I said he should join me, he chose something quickly then 😂
Had a nice walk with Xena, we did some exploring again.
Hope everyone is having a good day!
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!
Day 26…… Florida……FD
Not much going on today just relaxing at home preparing for another week of work. It’s been a good weekend so far I don’t really want it to end but life must go on.
I plan on a FD today, not sure how difficult it will be but we’re gonna give it a chance
Yesterday, I watch this thing on you tube and the women on their video said……..”You need to show up today for the person you want to be tomorrow”.
That the only thing I really got out of the video but that saying really spoke to me.
So, my new goal in my journey is to show up today for the person I want to be tomorrow. I’m going to repeat this to myself every time something gets difficult or hard.
Hopefully just hopefully, my path gets an easier!

Morning All..
Chilly out but improving.
Nothing doing here.. maybe look at holiday things etc..
Dave..
Roast lamb is my favourite but always expensive…
Hedgehog..
We already had the decking when we bought the house , I do like it but I don’t think we would have put it in. Nails still looking good…hand nails do get a lot of hammer.
Really brilliantly well done to getting to goal, you have really worked hard. I think this is the hardest time to regulate and keep the same.
That makes three of us around goal.

Day 26 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD 71.7 kg
I had a very easy FD, & we had a lovely summery autumn day when it reached a toasty 26 C. Cool & windy today. My weight’s creeping up, despite the good FD, so I’m aiming to be very disciplined for the final week of Motivated May 💪
I guess there won’t be a lot of fasting going on today? Memorial Day in the USA & a bank holiday in the UK. A pocket list of one so far for Monday….
Pocket List – Day 26 🥦
@merry🍎
Hi everyone form a lovely and warm but windy Twizel. After a really really cold frosty week, it’s back to summer temps, sitting outside sipping my coffee with just a t-shirt and skort on. Crazy weather for the time of year Neil, I agree. So sorry to hear of your diagnosis, I do hope you’re feeling somewhat better soon. I’m sure your underlying good health and fitness will make the condition more tolerable for you. Sorry I haven’t got any photos of the house yet, as we have been Face timing with the builder so it’s all been in real time, hopefully soon.
Not going any further South Cinque as we are house sitting here in Twizel, another two weeks to go, then we head back home to Kaiteriteri. I shall miss these big skies. And the lake, I’ve attached an image I took on Saturday afternoon!

That certainly was a lot of info there GDay, and what I took from that was that we all get to different stages of life at different times of our lives. Back in 2003 I got down to 64 kgs easily by lots of exercise and little food, living by the mantra, “I can’t eat till I’ve earned it”. I am sure I could accomplish something similar if I tried it again now, but I don’t have the desire to rush around like I did then, and I know that eating the way I did back then is probably not beneficial to my long term health. But most importantly I was just beginning my menopause journey, early, which doesn’t necessarily mean I finished any earlier, but I know now, at 61 yrs I am basically over it. Therefore my weight has been all over the place for the best part of 15 -22 years. I also believe that the curve balls life throws at us makes a hell of a difference as to how we react/process/sleep and inevitably ride the emotional rollercoaster that is life! I am glad you managed to do all the research and found the answers that shouted off the page at you, and look forward to hearing your results.
As of my three week weigh in this morning I’m 3.5 kgs down at 69.3, another two weeks to go before we begin our journey home.
Time to take the hound out again for his 2nd walk of the day, stay well everyone, Turn
Morning all
The weekend was good, it’s hard to believe that we’re almost into winter when we’re still getting sunny days in the high teens, usually at this time of year we’re getting frosts in the morning and temperatures around 9-13 degrees. It’s been a real Indian summer this year. Since I couldn’t ride, I went for a walk with my dad on Saturday, and spent Sunday doing some much needed weeding in the garden.
I don’t know if I mentioned it, but while I was in the Emergency room, there was a builder from work that I chat with quite often. I asked him next time I saw him if everything was ok, and he said that it was his wife that he was in there for. She went into labour at 26 weeks, but there was something wrong with the baby’s heart. They had been flown up to the Starship hospital on the air ambulance. That was what I was raising money for with my riding a couple of months ago, so I’m really happy that I could help out in some way.
I hope everyone had a good weekend, catch you all later.
Evening!
Dave- shame you’ve been held up with the decorating by rain & a tool shortage! Lucky Chloe with her chicken, hope you enjoyed the lamb …
Jean- definitely hard for you decorating & still having to walk Charlie! Last time we did some Xena went to doggy daycare…It does sound expensive for your decking but then we’ve never spent anything much on the garden, I’m not allowed 😂 You will get some funny looks with your different nail varnish!
AS- Good that you got your garden all done, sounds like they worked hard! Your food always sounds lovely, I love salads & olives…thanks for letting me know about that article, I’ll have a look! Games like Rummikub have got to help I’m sure…I make stuff for the retained fire station son’s at regularly, I do some of Jane’s patisserie recipes, Crunchie Tiffin is very popular, otherwise I bake blondies or brownies…
Hemmy- hope you’re enjoying your weekend, & Nana too!
The show was great last night, stayed up very late for us so we could spend some time with Xena, & gave her a walk, still woke at 7am though! Wouldn’t normally weigh on a Sunday but I fasted yesterday, the scales were good, at goal weight so need to work on the wiggle room now!
Have a good evening everyone 🥰
A good day sports wise. Got the results I wanted. Roast lamb for tea my favourite and because we have no peas I’ll have butter beans with it. Got these from Asda Hemmy.Raining here hope it’s dry tomorrow for speedway. Bought a chicken for Chloe and Peter too share, thought Peter was away this weekend but it was only yesterday. Chloe made short work of it.
Day 25…..Florida…..NFD
Another quiet day at home, we talked about going out for the day. I declined the opportunity, being the holiday weekend everything is going to be crazy busy and I just didn’t want to fight through the crowds.
Yesterday, I came in around 1500 calories for the day which for a NFD, not to shabby. Today, although a NFD, I don’t think it’s going to come in as good. I guess, I’m just gonna take the ups and downs, this is life.
Well, I’m off….. have a great Sunday!
Day 25 – Ireland 🇮🇪 – NFD

@funshipfreddie
Morning All…
Very blowy out on our walk but bright.
I have sorted my nail polishes out, thrown out some and put them organised in a box. I am going to try and give it a go myself again, my toes cost me £34 for a pedicure and gell polish. I wondered if I can see better now my cataracts have been sorted and save money.
You will laugh…I am doing a trial, I have a different colour on each finger of my left hand, all different makes of polish..let’s see which lasts the longest!
Dave..
All my decorating has finished I will think again in September … it’s hard doing it all on your own and taking Charlie out too. Let’s hope the rain stops and you can finish the door.
AutumnSky..
Your garden sounds all good now.. I need new decking or paving slabs putting down.. first quote on decking £4,000 for next year. It’s so small 8’ x 10’ seems expensive . I have seen another land scape gardening company I shall ask them for a quote back end of year.
Debating what to do.. nothing planned…

Day 25-No. VA USA-NFD
Fast Day tomorrow. Having a long weekend, doing lazy things around the house. Going to a tapas restaurant for lunch today with DH and DD. She lives north of us, near Washington.
Healthwise, weight is stable, but I am not losing this month. Perhaps a motivated fast day tomorrow will kick start things!
AS I have breakfast about 4 times per year apart from being away on holiday.I fund if I have breakfast it’s very restrictive on what’s I can have the rest of the day. I am a very poor eater,olives are the worst thing on earth followed be cheese and soup. Salmon is close as well. I am very limited in weekday I eat. If I could have the things most people have I would lose weight easily. I’m not even a big fan of vegetables but do like fruit and nuts. The sun is out but there is rain about so no front door painting.Waiting for Amazon to deliver the tools I want them I can get on with the painting.F1 today and football so I’ll take Chloe out soon.
Morning all,
Bright start and I am here looking through the French doors to the garden to see the stark colours of the paving stones (finally) adorning the best garden on the street. Mine!😁
Jean – The gardener came and did a great job! They arrived round 10:00 and didn’t finish until around 16:00. It was a hard one for them I could tell. They even cleaned our bottom windows and the neighbours side fence where there were lots of bushes. We did pay them an extra £60 for the extra touches.
Hedgehogs – You son is almost at the end of his course, and I am sending all my best wishes his way to do well. What cakes does he want you to make for his first shift? Or what will you be making for him? Sorry to read about your mum and her dementia. Never played Rummikub, so looked it up and found a wonderful article about Rummikub and dementia (I’m not sure if you are allowed to include links on this website but the article is called: ‘Matching tiles: how Rummikub links my childhood to Alzheimer’s disease’. It was an interesting short read.
Brads27 – I have definitely been overdoing it and have my meals planned out for today (brekkie – omelette with olive salad, lunch – rice, salmon with mixed veg, supper – salmon wraps with olive salad). I am trying to stay within my calories and I have training to do today, along with my target of 8,000 steps. I have next week off for half term. However, I have a lot to do and will be popping into school over the half term.
Hope you all manage to rest well today.

Good morning everyone,
I hope all your twists and turns are going well, or the locks and tunnels.
Are you well south now Thin?
I had a lovely time with Ellie, thankyou Thin and Anzac. But have since had a bad time with an infection that started up in my gum, just when I thought it had healed well from a tooth extraction. Hoping the antibiotics kick in soon (2 days in).
Neil, it sounds like your excellent underlying health will give you the best chance to recover from the blood clots. Enjoy the walking. Best wishes still flowing.
Gday, I love your new philosophy and I hope your new regime falls into place nicely.
Anzac, hooray for a better week at work, may it continue.
And best wishes to Mr A too.
Cold but sunny here, I have some yummy black bean soup for lunch.
Cheers all
Jean I painted indoors, couldn’t do the front door because it was raining. Looks like rain for the next few days. Once I get the kitchen done it will give me motivation to do the next room, the living room then the bedrooms and bathroom. It’s just the thought of doing it all and Denise not feeling great.
Evening All..
A walk with Natalie’s mum and Oreo as she’s flying.. Jacqui came at 11am we went to a shopping outlet, picked up some nail polish and a new macrame bag for the summer. Lunch at the cafe.. nice day.
Dave..
Hope you got some decorating started.. is the front door finished now. Expensive decorating you seem to be buying all the time.
AutumnSky..
Did you manage to start the garden or do they have to come back? So annoying the weather change.
Hedgehog..
Nice to see the end of the course for son, then passes out. He has done really well. Poor mum, it is hard to understand it.
Hemmy..
Hope your ‘holiday’ is going well.
Nana..
What are you up too?
Jean x
I had a salad for tea, unusual for me to have that on a Saturday but trying to cut down on calories.It also meant I could have lunch and still calories too spare.i bought some strawberries and will put them in greek yogurt. Roast lamb tomorrow Painted the door surrounds in the kitchen, will do the doors tomorrow, Denise as now said she wants a different colour for the doors👀😱😝.I think I’ll take the doors off too paint them, should be easier to do. Ordered some screwdriver bits to fit in the drill so I can use that to get the for off and some paint stripper because the screws holding the door on are covered in paint. So hopefully they will come tomorrow. Think I’m keeping Amazon going.
Afternoon! Page has turned so I might forget something…
Jean- hope you have a nice day out with Jacqui!
Dave- shame about the bowling but while you’re enjoying it that’s good, & it seems to be keeping you fit! Great that you’ve been able to stay off the pain medication…
Hemmy- enjoy your prawns! I do love prawns in mayo, just have them with salad & I usually make enough for Mum as well. Hope the weather’s okay for gardening today…
AS- did you get the garden done? Hope the weather cheered up…nice you have half term off! Shame about the weight staying the same but you do well working long hours & resisting goodies…
Nana- did you meet up with your friends last night?
Don’t know where yesterday went, we had to go into town, got son’s uniform all ironed & saw Mum. Just had one meal yesterday, we’re out tonight & had planned to have fish and chips by the sea before the show but it’s been grotty here, hubby will eat early before we go & I’ve decided to do an extra FD! Dropped son’s washing off- he has lectures & drills next week, final exam on the following Monday & then they’re done! A few days to practice for their passing out parade on 5th June, & then will hear at last where he’ll be stationed. He’s asked if I can do cakes for his first shift, hopefully I can but he won’t know his shift pattern, we might be away…Saw Mum this afternoon, she’d got 10 pence coins out & was asking what they were & if she can use them, but then she played Rummikub really well, such a strange disease!
Have a good evening everyone 🥰

@northgeorgia, have a nice trip to Florida.
@brightonbelle, every bit counts. I keep going up and down. Frustrating.
@bert1802, I am spending the holiday the same way. Most of my family is out of town, so I, too, am spending a quiet weekend. I am also spending it babysitting my daughter’s dog, who is good company, even if I have to get up extra early to take her out.
For all Americans on board, Happy Memorial Day!
Day 24…….Florida……NFD
Good day my fine friends!
Today, was my one month weigh in and I’m happy to report a 4.6 loss on the scales! I will take it!
I had a good FD yesterday, today is an NFD but going to try and control the intake of foods.
It’s the holiday weekend, so not much is going on in my world just relaxing and enjoying my mini vacation from work and working on my little side hustle. something I really enjoy!
@northgeorgia…….. safe travels into Florida. Not sure where your headed but its been stupid hot down here lately and the humidity is a killer so please drink enough water.
Well, I’m off
Enjoy your weekend
Day 24 UK NFD
So pleased to see a very modest loss this week , my challenge is now to remain static over the weekend
Have a good Saturday all
Day 24 – USA/GA – NFD
Weigh-in: 242 lbs. Fake weigh-in lol because it was late night eating perishables in the refrigerator and little sleep before the 8 hour drive down to Florida this morning/afternoon.
I’ll join you all again in June! @stitchincarol Hoping your back gets back to normal soon!
AS I have more loses than wins sadly but I enjoy it so that’s the main thing. I used to get upset when I lost but now I just move on to the next game.I used to win more when I could bend down but I have severe arthritis in both knees. On the plus side with all bowling I have not taken my co-codamol for a few months. Very dull here today and we have had a few drops of rain. Still struggling for motivation to do the decorating, will wash the woodwork down today then maybe paint it tonight. Wallpaper tomorrow all being well. Jean holiday mode is difficult to shake but you know you can move the weight once you return from holiday.HH what are you up to today any planting ? Hemmy the speedway is against Oxford on Monday but I think it may well be called off due to the weather. I’ve not been to Oxford for a long time, that race at Sandy lane, I remember the car park because they put one line of cars facing north to south and the next line east to west, so nobody could move until one line had gone. I used to go all over the country to watch speedway then I took up bowls and that put a stop to it. Can’t decide what to have for tea, either chilli or a salad.
Morning all,
Got up early to prep for the gardener and it’s raining. Not good.😔
Brads27 – When you’re active and keep learning (anything new) it helps later in life. I really need to take my own advice as I need to move more. I enjoy reading about your bowling wins or losses. However, that was a harsh loss yesterday: 21-13.😮 Well done for getting in 9,000 steps. I am slacking and need to get on track.
Jean – Understand about getting into the holiday mode and relaxing a little bit. I will be fasting until 14:00 today. It’s slightly later, as I ate until late last night.
Will jump later!
I played John last week he’s 92, played quiet a few in their 90s,I always say to them it must be doing us good. I’ve done 9000 steps today so that’s good. The lady I played Brenda was doing the pegging with me, (That’s when you have to measure the bowls distance from the jack when it’s close) They kept asking if they’re was something going on with us two🤣I said a gentleman never tells. Told Denise😃😄.
AutumnSky..
I abandoned my fast day, a bit in a holiday mode, 2 weeks to go .. I stayed the same…
Our chippy is about £9 haddock and chips like Dave I travel to mine as it’s really good, about 20 mins away.
Good luck on your gardener tomorrow hope it’s successful and looks nice.
Enjoy your half term, seeing my daughter Jacqui tomorrow…shopping and lunch out.
Dave..
I like these old timers who have played over the years, Don is 92 he used to play for a league, he helps and gives you tips..

Stitchincarol, sounds like you are getting down to the nitty gritting with your move. Sorry about your back, though! When you get your furniture in there then you will feel like you finally have arrived!
I hope everyone is having a lovely day!
I got absolutely battered at bowls by a lady called Brenda.I would say she was in her late 70s early 80s I was 9-0 down in no time at all. Managed to win a few ends but lost 21-13. They told me after she played for my team for years and knows the green much better than I do. She also played for Lancashire at county level. She was a lovely lady and we had a good laugh.
Hello everyone!
I escaped early. Now I’m ready for the half term break!
Weighed in this morning and was exactly the same no movement. I know I was a little indulgent last night, but not too indulgent, enough to go over by about 450 calories. I also did not train as much this week and only managed between 4,000- 6,000 steps per day, if at all. It was a busy week with lots of late nights.
Jean – I hope your fasting went well yesterday. I have eaten a bit today (last day, lots of junk around). I only had a few crisps and a gluten free blueberry muffin (very nice).
Brads27 – I do love chip shop chips, nothing beats it. Hope you enjoy your meal. The one near our home gives very large portions. We share one between two and still have some left over. Cod is the family favourite. A little pricey here at around £16+ for cod and large chips. But a treat every now and then is great.
Hemmy – Today was a little like that for me. But I hope to get back on track tomorrow.
We have the gardener coming tomorrow. Hopefully, our home will no longer look as if we’re growing corn.
I’m ready for a relaxing afternoon.😃
Afternoon All..
I have stayed the same this week.. still 2lbs from goal. Getting in holiday mode.. abandoned my fast day 😬
Dave..
I could have been tempted with a chippy but I forgot and I have chicken out of the freezer…
Hemmy..
I think we all could do with a bit of rain.. I have washed my car housemartins are lovely but mucky things..
Latte, chocolate mousse sort of cake and a Guinness.. sat outside it was lovely.
Just made some Australian crunchie Jacqui is coming up tomorrow she always bakes something so I did that.. we are going out shopping ish just looking and lunch, sandwich and coffee.
Have a nice few days off, it’s nice when we are hovering we don’t have to be so strict..
Jean x
Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx
Its another beautiful day… hoping for a sunny weekend for all those that have worked all week.
I am still a pound up this week but I did have two lovely meals out and i don’t count calls I just have what I fancy.
This evening its my favourite.. Prawns on Jacket prawns and broccoli… I went to village Coop for the prawns i forgot yesterday lol.
Next week I will be hoping for rain as my neighbours are off for a week to Scotland on a fishing holiday. Its a very big plot with green houses… last year it was soo dry and needed a lot of watering as they grow a lot of veg.
I only have some tomato plants this year..
I have just picked a big bunch of orange blossom which smells glorious and pink peonies my favourite flower..
Dave.. Losing a pound a week sounds a good idea .. nice and steady and will stay off easier.
Cod and chips for tea wonderful .. perfect for Friday especially if done well. Enjoy.
H H Hopefully a good result for hubby s eye its good they don’t think its urgent if it isn’t bothering him.
Are you having any company this weekend for meals.
Sym.. Coffee and cake lovely .. what cake did you have lol .. nothing like a nice piece of cake. I haven’t made cake since Mum went.
I expect in the hot weather its a job keeping flowers alive at the cemetery or do you just do plants.
Enjoy your afternoon everyone. Xxxx .
Friday .. time to relax and enjoy. the weekend

Day 23 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD
My painful back has returned. Just too much lifting and carrying? Hopefully, because that will mean an end to the pain is in sight.
My weight is up half a pound this morning, but I’m going to weigh again in awhile and see if it has dropped. Dinner last night was actually a goodbye party with our circuit pastors and their wives, but I ate exactly what I’d planned (half a burrito, some chips and salsa, and a margarita, and two eggs for lunch), and my fitbit says I burned just shy of 2200 calories, so I’m not worried I did any actual damage. Tonight will be the bigger challenge because of the restaurant involved…
But first, it’s time to do more sorting and packing and head down to the new house to unload and put it away. We’re getting VERY impatient to get furniture down there!
This is my limit for posting on my phone. Have a grand one, everyone!

Day 23……Florida….FD
Got on here this morning and realized I never hit the post bottom yesterday….. lol is this a sign of me losing the last few marbles I have.
Today is going to be a FD or at least try my hardest.
Yesterday I had small bout of the illness that effected me last week. I had no illness sickness except I couldn’t keep my eyes open and super lethargic. So, while I being a bump on a log, I did some research and reviewed my food log.
Months ago, I found out that I have a gluten intolerance not celiac, so I’ve gone gluten free and started to feel a whole lot better but the doctor did say that once we removed gluten from my diet other intolerances could pop up and to keep a food diary. So I could spot any changes and make necessary changes to avoid feeling as horrible as I did which made me seek out medical advice.
The days leading up to my sleep for day’s episode, my food take while healthy, they were very heavy meals, items such as stuffed peppers, a large salad, etc.
then yesterday, I had a large breakfast which included eggs, hash and gluten free bread. Then the symptoms came back.
I didn’t actually start feeling better with the original illness until eating was too much work and ate very little. Yesterday was a NFD day and symptoms started again.
Conclusion, I have reached is that even on NFD, I have to watch my quantity consumption and eat smaller meals perhaps more frequently. Well that’s the plan anyways
So for the foreseeable future, I’m going to watch and track my food intake and see if my changes are effective.
Today is a FD and let’s see how this goes….
I hope everyone is doing well!

Good morning everyone. I’m going to the chippy tonight, cod or maybe haddock and I’m going to have potato scallops with it.I know which Jean would have but the cod is every bit as good as the haddock in this chip shop. They come from all over to get fish and chips,I drive a mile and a half even though they’re is a chippy about 500 yards away. They are that popular they have 5 serving you and two or three cooking so you get served very quickly. The sun is out so the cream will be going on especially my head as I have just shaved it. I’ve run out of all my pills so no aspirin today. I have ordered them online so should come soon. Hemmy I’m not saying butter beans are the best beans just different.I prefer baked beans but I do like all beans.
As can you work outside? On a laptop maybe, nice to get some fresh air.
Jean enjoy your coffee and cake nice to go out, HH be brave and get on the scales I bet you have lost. Nana are you homeward bound today?
Steve if you are lurking come back on and say hello.

@ccco – arthritic hands? Must be very irritating. Aren’t there any remedies for that? All the amazing advances in medicine; maybe AI will help to discover cures for some of these common ailments soon 🤔
@lilymartin – yesterday’s Wordle was tricky! I went from POLIO to FOLIO, on my 6th attempt. I did a little better today though. Sending you & @anicecupoftea RESOLVE for your Friday FD 💪
Happy Fri-yay! 🍹

Morning all..
Very chilly early looks like the sun is coming out now..
Meeting Christine for coffee and cake at a 11, I shall pop my flower trough to the cemetery as I am passing.
Two weeks to go to holidays, I will be up early then..😂
Hemmy..
I often decide on a meal then I forget and do something different it must be our ages!!!
Enjoy your ‘holiday’ get in the garden..
Dave..
Good idea to loose a pound a week more realistic , steady and slow. Shame on the glasses.
Hedgehog..

Hope hubby eye can get sorted.
Nana..
Safe journey home..
AutumnSky..

Day 23 NFD 69.4kg🔺🌋🏃🏼♀️
It’s Friyay so this is a quick one!!
How nice to have haircuts @daffodil2010 and @brightonbelle!! I have “hat hair” today…
Enjoy your remembrance day for Missy. When I see a rainbow in the sky I think of Billy handing out treats to our gang – Macintosh, Lola, Conor Bear, Badger, Oprah and Cocoa Bean. That’s three Westies and three Scotties. It’s oddly comforting!!!
@iona72 Post holiday blues must be a thing. I hope your parents are comfortable and cared for. Think of us shivering down here in the depths of the Southern Ocean and you might just feel brighter!!
@anicecupoftea You are so lucky popping over to France. All we can do is pop over to Oz with snakes and cane toads😬🤣 Oh and lovely people like @lilymartin and @penz and cuddly Koalas and Wombats😁 and Tasmanian Devils.
@ccco You are going to have so much fun in the garden with your grandchildren. You have done incredibly well post surgery with all you have achieved. BRAVO TO YOU!!
@stitchincarol Sending 💪 for all those boxes!! I don’t think there is any easy way to shift. But like @funshipfreddie says it will be over soon…
Hiya all those like @jaifaim. Look forward to hearing from you when you’re back in action!
Cheers!!
Evening!
Dave- well done on the bowls win! If you can stick to eating a bit more & losing slower hopefully that’ll keep things steadier…
Jean- the nails sound lovely & summery! I have to keep my feet & legs covered, better for everyone 😂
Hemmy- oh dear, forgetting your prawns! I do a meal plan for the week & a list, I do still forget things though! I did think of you & the butter beans yesterday, none in our Tesco’s either! I wouldn’t worry, you’re not missing anything, despite what Dave says 😂
AS- good you love your job! Salted peanuts I could eat a whole packet of, not so much the dry roasted, although I do like them…
Hubby’s appointment was okay- they do want whatever is in/on his eye, sort of like a scratch, checked out, but not urgent. He wanted a treat tonight, so we’ve had a takeaway & he had wine, so won’t weigh tomorrow!
Day 22 NE England
I can’t seem to get back to normal after our trip away. Feeling generally a bit down, thinking about family members who have passed away lately, and worrying about elderly parents. I don’t seem to have much energy for anything.
Rain certainly needed here not had any for weeks, very unusual.
Lovely to see your photos @stitchincarol and @merry🍎
