HH where Denise does her Spanish lessons is right on the reservoir. The room what she does it is about 5 yards from the reservoir.I opened my phone yesterday and a video of the resavoir cane up with Heidi walking about😭😭😭. Speedway was closed,a last heat decider. But the Aces won.Two days to my weigh-in, not at all confident this time. Denise is looking at cruise’s for next year so I better get saving up.
Day 5 – Rural Nebraska, USA – NFD
Did some packing and took a load down on Saturday, mostly relaxed yesterday, and today I’ve begun tackling two of our five bookshelves. I managed to make a good-sized pile of books to donate before I did something painful to my back when I was carrying too big a load of books up the stairs. Gah. So I took some ibuprofen and am resting now, waiting for it to kick in, and then I’ll be VERY behaved in what I attempt!
DH is more interested in furniture choices and arrangement than ever before in our marriage, so there’s been all sorts of discussion and compromising– another challenge of moving I hadn’t anticipated! 🤣
Two more Sundays. It’s getting hard.
Have a grand one, everyone!
Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx
Ohh its such a change in temp especially over the fields this morning.
I need my brass cleaning its my dreaded job I detest it but it so suits this old cottage, lol. Maybe just do a bit a day through the week.
Later lunch again .. cheese and onion toastie .. then the rest of the prawn stirfry this evening.
Its a very quiet weekend here but I have to say I am enjoying it lol. Just easy food,, a bit of gardening .. readng ..
A S .. Yes I think its a good idea to count cals to start then you soon get to know how to work on how many you need to lose.
I always say there is a trigger that makes us want to eat non stop .. mine is wine… it makes me crave sweet things. My friend is the same but craves savoury things.
Another friend is crisps once started she cant stop. Find your trigger. lol
Dave.. It sounds like a busy day of sport for you.. It feels like Sunday.
H H I hope you find a lovely holiday place soon.
Sym.. You can lose that 5lb no prob. Just go back to how you started.
Enjoy the afternoon everyone. “The mind is everything; what you think you become.”Xxxx

USA. Day 5. FD
Sorry I have been out of commission but I have been so terribly busy lately. I guess my age is kicking in because it takes me so long to do everything! 🤨. Anyway, I have lost 3 lbs., which I intend to keep off and add even more. Spring and Summer are so much more active, so losing becomes a little easier.
I am finding it a lot easier to get tired after even a little activity but I don’t know why. Maybe my age is catching up to me. :(. In any case, I do exercise and walk whenever I can, in addition to playing golf and playing with my grandchildren (a lot of exercise all by itself! LOL) If I am losing stamina, I can’t understand why. Anyway, I will keep on trying.

I thought I would join the gang today on the pocket list. Hope everyone has been having a great day!
I thought I would share a word of wisdom, although I don’t know who originally said it.
“Success has a thousand mothers. Failure is an orphan.”
second post. Finally a ‘proper’ FD ( a in 500 calories) completed and went well.
I did feel hungry later in the day but several glasses of water drowned the hunger dragons.
Some broccoli and a tiny piece of pumpkin sufficed for lunch.
Resorted to Vegemite in hot water in the afternoon.
I ate my teaspoon of sauerkraut and sliced egg for dinner VERY slowly and enjoyed it.
Managed to say ‘no’ to chocolate and swerved the apple pie. Kitchen closed and off to bed . Good luck to the other Monday fasters.
@unshipfreddie, oh the joy of good fish and chips…..😋😋And even better with the downward trend.
@northgeorgia, as you said, at least you recognised that you had over done it and that is half the battle, now for the second half which is to action it ! We will all be Mindfully Motivated this May. A FD is a very good start.👏
@Excelsior 12309 your 4 days off with some gardening sound lovely. Reformulating thinking for the garden could equally apply to 5:2 and our approach to it at times. I am concentrating first on health and then on weight loss this month but mostly resolving to have 2 FDs a week.
I hope all the other folk who normally post/lurk are doing well. It would be good to see some more people posting for accountability and just dropping in to say ‘hi’.
Night all
I had that for 12 months the paid version,changed to My Net Diary now. I always get the paid version generally better but I did use myfitnesspal for a few years the free version.I can scan a meal now and it uses AI to work out the calories and nutrients. Not sure it’s 100% though. Speedway was close Aces beat Sheffield in a last heat decider. They ride against each other again tonight in Sheffield but will be an easy win for Sheffield.My dog used to run at the same place😁
Downloaded ‘Nutcracheck’ and have uploaded all my details and calories per day.
Added the meal that I am having for lunch which is broccoli, lentils, hummus and homemade dumplings, with a banana. Seems easy enough. 😃
Thank you Jean and Brads27 for the advice.
I will start counting today as I haven’t eaten yet. I will see if I can download a free app that will help me.😊
Day 5 – USA/GA – FD
Weigh-in: 241 lbs. I knew I was overdoing it yesterday, which I guess is better than not realizing it. Time to get back to mindfulness for the week. I am a pound lighter over last Monday, though.

Fast Day today. Had lovely 4 days in a row not working at the office, it was like a mini-vacation. Haven’t had a regular out and out vacation in quite a while. Got some gardening and clean up done around the house and yard. My plan to leave tiny flowering weeds as ground cover is working well. It is all in reformulating the thinking!

AS I think calorie counting is a must at least to start of with. You will get to know what calories are in your food that way then maybe stop counting after you have got used to it. I wouldn’t have lost any weight without counting them.I use an app and book it all down. Then when you go back to it you can see where your going wrong. It’s cool today and I’m going out to the speedway so definitely a woolly hat on. Better take Chloe out now then get ready to go. See you all later have a good bank holiday.
Morning All…
A lovely walk but a bit chilly..
Going to Jacqui’s for a couple of hours and lunch just a catch up before school starts, a busy last term before finish for summer.
I am making a big effort, mind set, 5 lbs to loose..in 5 weeks.. holidays ..
I fasted Friday and Sunday, next one Tuesday and Thursday…
No chocolate or biscuits in the house…no alcohol too.
Working well with being out today..
Hemmy..
Sorry to hear Kirsty has lost her buyer such a stressful time. Nice she can come Thursday and talk it out it will do her good. Enjoy the garden.
Autumn..
It’s getting into the mind set.. after a couple of months it does get easier..it’s a good idea to calorie count at the beginning it really helps..’MyFitnessPal’ app is really good.. the basic non pay is good enough.. it gives you an idea on size of what you are eating.. good luck keep positive..
Well I better get changed and move..

Day 5 – South Africa 🇿🇦 – NFD 71.4 kg
Monday morning PFDS! 😇 And the scales have actually moved down a little
@lilymartin – the fish & chips were amazing! 😋 and the weather wasn’t as grim as we’d expected. I like the cooler days too, if it’s sunny & not windy. It always feels cooler at the coast though. The colder nights can be a bit grim 🥶 Sending you RESOLVE to reach your target of under 80 kg this month – you can do it! 🎯

Thanks Hemmy,
Not sure if the lost post it will randomly pop up, but I am re-posting it, just in case.
Jean – Not a problem!😀
hemmy – Had a great time. I didn’t buy the ice-cream in the end as it was too expensive. It was nearly £15 for four ice-cream cones with blue syrup and an ice-lolly. Ended up going to Tesco express and buying what they needed for about about £5. I didn’t buy any for myself, but I did eat the 4 eggs left over from the picnic when I got home.
Unfortunately, after weighing myself this morning I gained 3lbs. I do know that I am overeating as I am doing between 8-10k steps each day, which is an improvement from 900-1,000, I have greatly reduced the sugar, and I am doing between 30 minutes and 1 hour of exercise a day.
I will persevere and look at how much I am eating. I have never calorie counted before, and really don’t want to now, but I know this is my biggest most challenging issue right now.
Hi A S
I can see this last comment 8.28am but not a 7am one. X
Morning all,
I left a comment his morning at around 7am, but it doesn’t seem to have been submitted?
I think other threads are experiencing the same thing.
Not sure if this will go through either!
Day 5 country west Australia 84.5 kgs 185.9 lbs !!🙄😱😱 FD
I cannot find the 2 posts I posted about the brain fog and putting up the incorrect spreadsheet in my haste to start Motivated May. ??? They seem to have disappeared into the ether!!
@jaifaim, What a great title for this month and yes I am motivated.
Well Cruella de scales showed me what happens when you overeat mindlessly as I have done for the past week …..
I think I will have to go right back to the beginning, 2017 for me, and do 5:2 quite sensibly. Looks like it is back to MFP and crunching numbers….😬
@stitchincarol, I was like you were on the 1st, however I did NOT eat sensibly. Went to morning tea and ate 6 sandwiches 😲😲. I usually don’t even have morning tea.
Then ate a full lunch, chicken and veggies AND dessert AND half a block of chocolate and yada, yada, yada…Needless to say, today is a FD and I’ m crunching the numbers….
@at thank you or setting up the spreadsheet. I am unable to post my goal in there but I am RESOLVED to get under 80 kgs, for the first time in 5 years.
@northgeorgia, your reflux journey sounds a bit hectic but glad you are getting it sorted. Shame about the eggs. They really are as expensive( though not quite as rare )as hens’ teeth!
@daffodil2010 well done on the 5 lbs loss and maintaining.
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.
@funshipfreddie, I really enjoy these cold autumn mornings. Hope the fish and chips were delicious.
Have a good day everyone.😀
Cali hope all goes well with your recovery. Mr GDay suffered a detached retina and like you, he was rushed to Adelaide for emergency surgery. He said when it happened everything in his vision for that eye turned green – did that happen for you?
Happy birthday Thin, we are celebrating a birthday in our household today, our beautiful Koolie turns 2 so Miss GDay made cupcakes last night and left 2 un-iced so each of the dogs have a cupcake to celebrate. I’m very strict on only feeding the dogs healthy foods but a once a year birthday cupcake I will allow.
Neil this forum (the IT not the people) has more gremlins than the movie at times. Enjoy your time off I hope you get to relax in between chores and bike rides.
I’m a Royalist but have no time for the Californians. They wanted out and they wanted privacy but they still want the spotlight and the $$ that comes from being a celebrity of sorts. And Cali I’m with you, I don’t buy the ‘I didn’t know what I was getting into when I married into the royal family’ rhetoric. If she didn’t know then she walked in with her eyes closed and the other thing is why didn’t he make her fully aware from the start, after all he lived his entire life within the family so in my opinion that are both 100% to blame, no one else.
Out of interest I borrowed the book Spare (Harry’s book) from the library last year and it was absolute twoffle- I skipped more pages that I read as it was nothing more than a winge diary. As for the other working Royals – Charles, Carmilla, William, Kate and Anne, I think they do an amazing job in their roles and are a credit to the Monarchy- the late Queen would surely be very proud.
Coffee and cupcake time, Miss GDay has a few party hats on the bench so I guess we will be singing happy birthday and possibly a few candles as well 🤣🤣
Ummm, what’s happening? Cali’s last post has only shown up once, but I’ve received 10 email notifications that it has been posted. Something screwy is going on.
Sorry to hear about your eye surgery, although lucky that they managed to fit you in. A detached retina was one of the things the emergency doctor was checking for when I went in with vision issues a few years ago. I had my vision split in half in one eye with a lightning bolt shape through the middle of it. They eventually worked out that I had a vision migraine. A type of migraine where I don’t get the headaches that people usually get with migraines, just crazy stuff happening with my vision. I’m incredibly grateful that I don’t get the headache that you usually associate with a migraine.
I’m on holiday this week, and for once the weather is great. I spent the morning doing some gardening work. I’m hoping to get out and go for a couple or rides, and just generally relax.
Hedgehog..
My paint is quick drying, I like it, it keeps white too. It’s 5 years since I last did it and not much change in colour..Charlie just lays and sulks he doesn’t like me busy!
Nice to get away again, you find some lovely gems, hope you find something which you both like…
AutumnSky…..
I must apologise to you, l have just realised I have mixed you up with Steve another new person. So I keep calling you Steve… so sorry…
Night from me..

Evening!
Jean- well done cracking on with the decorating! How do you keep Charlie (& his hairs!) away? We need to do some of the paintwork but a pain with Xena, we did put her in doggy daycare when we did the lounge but I don’t think she really enjoys it…
Hemmy- oh no, poor Kristy, such a stressful business moving house. Hope they find a new buyer soon.
Dave- maybe you could get Denise out for a picnic again, somewhere she doesn’t have to walk far, could you drive to the reservoir you used to take Heidi to? It might cheer her up to get out?
AS- hope you enjoyed your picnic, hope you resisted the ice cream van! Shame about the birthday party, things like that are really hard…Have you got children at home?
Nana- hope you’ve had a good weekend!
We went out yesterday for a bit, it turned chilly though so not warm enough to sit on the beach. Picked up son’s washing, & got my veggie plants in. A lazy day today, we’ve been looking at holiday places but hubby keeps finding something wrong with everywhere I’ve found! Just had one meal yesterday, a bit more today, back to fasting tomorrow.
Thin, I think most people here are tired of listening to their complaining and being offered Netflix specials about them too. In the beginning she had a fairytale opportunity. She had to know, from Harry, and from the many women who wanted no part of that kind of life, what being part of the royal family entailed. Living in castles, wearing beautiful clothes and being waited on hand and foot doesn’t come without a price. The traveling and meeting people on behalf of the monarchy is a job, a privilege. That’s what you do for a living if you’re part of the family. Criticizing them and that way of life is like saying you want to be the pope but you don’t like praying or being around a lot of people.
Day 4 UK NFD
Ooh these long bank holiday weekends are tough , aim for a better day tomorrow
I love picnics, went on one last year and really enjoyed it. Not done it for ages. We used to have them regularly at my dad’s allotment when I was a kid. Just put my roast potatoes on fine in duck fat😱. But they are tasty.I did then at Christmas and ended up getting the job for life. And the Yorkshire pudding too. Not been a bad day here, better turn my spuds.
Day 4 – USA/GA – NFD

Happy Sunday everyone. Xxxx
It s a bit of a change in the weather today .. quite a chilly wind.
I am loving the pretty walk at the moment soo much blossom. I will miss it.
when over.
Its a quiet weekend in the village lots taking advantage of the extra day.
Poor Kristy has lost her buyer ..the chain has collapsed so back on the market and hoping they don’t lose the place they want in Dorset.
Hopefully she will still be able to come on Thursday for weekend..
I am enjoying a lazy weekend… a bit of gardening and reading. .. Prawn stir fry this evening and tomorrow. Tasty and easy.
A S … Your picnic sounds lovely hopefully the weather stays good for you.
Dave.. That cruise will be something to look forward to next year. Hoping Denise soon feels better.
H H.. Well done on the loss that was a good amount and you deserve it. Did you go somewhere nice yesterday.
Sym… You have done so well with the painting… You will soon get back to losing.. just focus on your holiday now.
Nana .. hope all is well with you.
Enjoy the afternoon everyone. “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” Xxxx
Afternoon All…
Finished my painting… 2 hours.. more than I expected I didn’t count properly..6 door frames radiator and loft hatch…
Then laid on the floor I have missed a bit of wall under the radiator… so that’s another days job as everything is wet paint!
Charlie is sulking as he likes me to sit with him, now I have got a cuppa tea asleep!
Fasting again today.. prawn salad for me..
Steve..
Enjoy your picnic it’s cold here, I got caught in a shower when walking Charlie, I ended up with a poop bag on my head (empty of course)! Very damp when I got back home. Once all the celebrations stop the weight will move.
I went on a cruise in February and struggling to get back on track and all my family birthdays..
I had 33lbs to loose when I started.. I usually stay around goal..
Dave..
Roast beef sounds tasty.. hard making it for one.
Hoping you both get on your cruise next year..

Wow, Brads27! Nearly 50 years is absolutely incredible. You are still celebrating together this year, and have somewhere to look forward to going with each other, which is still wonderful. Sorry to read her lymphoedema may impact her knee surgery, and is influencing her well-being at the moment. I would imagine she is in a lot of pain. I have no doubt that your actions demonstrate your commitment to making her feel as comfortable as possible each day.🙂
We are heading out to the park at around 12:30 today. I have already started getting the picnic lunch ready: chicken and pasta, hard boiled eggs, salad, crisps, grapes, apple juice and lots of water. I will not eat until around 4pm, so will go for a walk while they eat. If there’s an ice cream van then the family usually get something.
Good morning everyone,AS Denise is my wife of almost 50 years, we was going to go on a cruise to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary but had to get a new roof so can’t afford it now. She as had a knee replacement and as been waiting for over 2 years to have the other knee done. Now she as lymphoedema in her legs so I think that might stop her from getting her other knee done. So a week in Haworth is our holiday this year. We normally go to Lanzarote or Cyprus. Will try and go on a cruise next year, it all depends how Denise is, she’s struggling to walk very far at the moment and it makes me feel so helpless.Roast beef tonight,I made the batter for the Yorkshire pudding yesterday so that’s will be good. Chloe my greyhound likes Yorkshire pudding and as the same as us on Sundays including all the veg. Will try not to eat any under 5pm tonight. The sun is out again so will have to find some more shorts.
Thanks fastdiet for helping in this…

@funshipfreddie
CalifD, so sorry to read your news. What an ordeal. Hope you’re soon back to normal. That’s good that you have hired a second carer for your OH.
Thanks – yes, I try to avoid celebrations involving cake. Day after FD for me and a pleasing 900g drop. I had to put a FD in the bank as we have plans for an outdoor pub with Thai food and an Abba tribute band this evening (Sunday). The temp has dropped 12C though so slightly less appealing than when planned.
Can you please keep Whinge and Ginge under lock and key in California. Everyone is sick to death of the whining ‘victims’ slagging off the working royals in the media while supposedly seeking reconciliation. No one cares, stay away!
Oh Cali, I am so sorry this has happened to you and on top of such a scary operation you have the worry about your poor OH. I am so glad you were able to hire a carer to help you and your DS at night. I sincerely hope your recovery is quick and uneventful
I agree Quacka, our seemingly endless summer ended with a bang this week. We are still in short sleeves during the day but morning and night we need a jumper now. I hate winter and the cold and now I will need to commute twice a week to the city which will be difficult but hey, I am so relieved to have a job I won’t complain
Morning all,
Brads27 – I don’t know too much about Denise but I know she is a close loved one and has not been very well. Understand comfort eating at worrying times.
hedgehog – well done for losing nearly 2lbs this week.
hemmy – great news that you are at your lowest weight.
Jean – congratulations from being close to your goal weight with 5lbs to go. Have just finished painting two bedrooms over the last two weeks, including the ceiling. Waiting on the garden to be finished later in may.
From my last weigh in, a while ago, I was 35lbs away from my target weight. However, I do have a few pairs of trousers that I would love to get back into as a goal.
Not a good day yesterday. Had a birthday celebration for a family member and was very good at the beginning. However, I managed to significantly overeat while there. I then continued to eat when I got home. I was going to weigh myself this morning, but decided not to. I know what the psychological effect can do to me if I’m suddenly 5lbs up from the last weigh in because I ate a lot of carbohydrates, and I suspect, a very high amount of salt.
Today I am fasting until 16:00. Slightly later, as I ate until just after 11pm last night, and I am still feeling very full this morning.
Hope you have a restful day.
Morning All..
Chilly morning possibly coat back on.
Later painting is on my list, 4 door frames, radiator and a loft hatch, a good hour should do it.
Trying very hard to get back on board fasting, I have been doing it in an iffy way. Holidays are looming in 5 weeks. No biscuits or chocolates in the house, it was getting back in a habit again.
Dave..
I managed my river walk yesterday, as I got to the first gate, the cows were all fast asleep..so walked a mile to the next gate and got on the riverbank.. I must admit I was watching behind me. They all stay together so I least I knew where they were.
Thinking where to go today..
Have a lovely Bank Holiday everyone..

Thin, belated birthday wishes. I remember you always tried to escape the birthday cake!
So many posts here to read again. Sorry I’ve been missing. On the 7th of April I I was diagnosed with a detached retina in my left eye and by 1:00 the following day I was on the operating table for emergency surgery to fix it. My ophthalmologist referred me to a specialty practice with about a dozen surgeons who do only retinal surgery. Luckily they were able to get me in. I had very little information about it beforehand since most of my time was spent trying to to find someone to drive me there and someone to stay with DS and OH to take care of him. My blood pressure was sky high before the surgery and they didn’t give me anything to lower it until right before, so I was pretty scared. I had to remain awake during the surgery because a person’s eyes can move while asleep. It was only about an hour long. It was an outpatient procedure and afterward I had to remain face down for 5 days. Lots of eye drops of different types.
I can see pretty well now but have high pressure in that eye, so I have 2 different drops for glaucoma to try and prevent it from turning into that. I have an appointment in a couple weeks to have it checked again. Scary stuff.
We hired a second caregiver to help get OH changed and into bed at night because no heavy lifting for a while and DS has arthritis in one knee that makes it difficult for her to lift him if necessary. It’s always something! I just wanted to let you all know why I haven’t been around again for a while. I’ll post again soon.

Hello , where is everyone? Hopefully all having a nice Saturday
Nice and refreshed after an early night , expecting guests shortly , check in tomorrow 👋
Good morning everyone a lot cooler today. Not decided what to have for tea, and trying to avoid anything before then. Eating to much just lately don’t know if I’m comfort eating because I’m worried about Denise. Got to pull my socks up. No bowling until Thursday next week,both teams have cancelled the game on Wednesday to attend a funeral of one of our bowlers. I’m very jealous of you lot, you all seem to live close to a river, I love walking down rivers and especially canals.Denise will be going to the Spanish lessons maybe in a couple of weeks she’s at the doctor’s this coming Tuesday.I am not sure about her being in a wheelchair, would have to hire one, Wouldn’t trust her in an electric scooter. She would run me over😄.
Morning All..
Weather temperature dropping a bit today..
Nothing really planned maybe odd bits at the shops…over my birthday eating another pound up.. that’s 5lbs to loose from goal..
Still a bit of gloss painting to do and filling in the lounge maybe Sunday it’s much cooler.
Dave ..
Sorry to hear Denise isn’t improving .. it’s hard to get away if she can’t walk.
Would she use a wheelchair to help her get out? Steve did at times
Hemmy..
I sometimes have those sort of walks.. thinking and going passed my normal route.. I think just relaxing and taking in the surroundings it does you good.
I am looking forward to all the fruit coming through, I would like getting some in the future for the freezer for crumbles.. I love rhubarb..
Steve..
I live in Yorkshire near Goole/Selby in a small village, lovely walks. I love this area I was from Hull.
My hubby passed 4 years ago and I am now just feeling more myself. So hard on your own and doing things, going places.
I keep busy reading, doing craft things for my daughters school fete, faffing in general.
Hedgehog..
Well done on 2lbs off.. the new walk around the water sounds good, Xena will love it. She might get more used to going in the car..
Nana..
What are you up to this weekend?
Have a good weekend.

Day 3 NZ NFD 69.7kg 🏃🏼♀️
Quick check in for accountability! Will post properly…
The Auckland Art Fair is on. It’s extra busy!!
Being a WEW… Weekend Warrior!!💪
Evening!
Hemmy- oops, a longer walk than you planned missing the car! I don’t expect Pips minded! Good idea to keep the insurance for him, we had a £3,000 vets bill with Josie & that was back around 10 years ago! Really well done with another pound off!
Dave- hope that Denise’s legs do improve, it sounds really miserable…BIL’s dad has it, & foot infections which won’t clear up because of diabetes, he’s in too much pain to go out at all…is Denise okay to go to her Spanish lessons still?
Jean- well done doing a FD today, usually your day off, I’m sure you’ll get back to losing soon for your holiday!
Nana- are you out tonight?
Autumn sky- enjoy your books, not ever read anything by those authors…I love reading but only if I have time to get stuck in! Hopefully your clothes will be looser soon!
I lost nearly 2lbs this week, worth the hard work! Just had one meal today. We went out to do a river walk not that far away, a friend had mentioned walking there & I’d not heard of it! It was a beautiful day, & a lovely walk…Now I’ve sussed it out I might take Xena although it’s further than I usually take her in the car. Sis is seeing Mum tomorrow, so will be nice to do something with hubby…
Evening everyone!
One of my books arrived today. Got a few things to do before I settle down and crack it open.
Brads27- Charlie Parker series by John Connolly (I’m on book 19) and Orphan X series by Greg Hurwitz (I’m on book 9) are my favourites at the moment. Two completely different genres but I do enjoy them.
hemmy – I may weigh myself tomorrow. I try not to weigh myself too often and focus on how the clothes fit and how I feel. Probably once a week, if that.
Fasted until 13:30 today. Was not too hungry with the hot weather. I am drinking at least a few litres from the time I get up in the morning to the time I go to bed. Work was good today. Only a few tasks left on the ‘to-do-list’ before I left.
Got to enjoy the wins when you can.
Have a great evening.
DAY 2 – UK – CD
Another perfect summer’s day 😎
Spent the day with my DD – dog walking on the coast then a light lunch by a lakeshore ❤️
Now back home enjoying the evening sunshine in the garden and promising myself to stay in control 🤞as this week has been a very controlled one so far and I would hate to undo all that hard work!!!
My goal this month is to lose at least 2kg therefore setting me back one that downward trend I have so longing for…..
So I am reminding myself “If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. and when I started, I was desperately wishing to be where I am now”
Good afternoon everyone.. another beautiful day. Xxxx
I am making the most of it as its going to be all change in the next few days… seasonal I expect.
