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!!
Hemmy..
We have had showers off and on today.. put my fleece and rain coat on for pm walk it was so warm…
Kicking my heels a bit now.. so much to do but too early.. start after the weekend… hygienist tomorrow…
Hedgehog..
I haven’t been to chippy for a while.. it was delicious as usual, price going up nearly £10
😬
Charlie has clocked up just under 15,000 miles in 5 years..I usually do 3/4 of what he does…
Shall you be going to his passing out parade?
Good luck on the house for your son…
Jean x
Afternoon!
Dave- that’s fantastic, really well done 👏 It’s brilliant how much you’ve lost… Shame about the bowling!
Jean- ooh, chips today instead, that’s nice! How many miles had Charlie clocked up?
Hope everyone else has had a good day…
Did our shopping today, had hoped to weed the drive but it’s been too showery. Shortened two pairs of trousers instead, I hate sewing anyway, but even worse when I’ve not eaten! Bacon & eggs soon… Exciting times for my boys- eldest has seen a house he likes, going for a 2nd viewing & taking his gf’s dad along to look as it needs work, as long as no offers in the mean time (very weird system nowadays, the estate agents seem to do all the viewings & it seems hard to get appointments?!) Youngest has had dress uniform fitting ready for passing out parade, I thought they were doing a demo so might not have got dressed up…
Have a good evening everyone 🥰
Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx
Its a better day today although the sun is iffy at times, no rain.
We had an earlier walk as I needed go to the Post Office in Brackley ..Parking is sometimes difficult in town if the Mercedes people are on their lunch time… but ok today.
I called in Tesco on the way back just for a sandwich.. brie and bacon.. I wish I hadn’t bothered lol .. the bread Soo very dry,, disappointing, At the moment I don’t feel like anything else to day .lol so that’s good at least lol.
Just got my watering instructions from my neighbour I am on watering duty from this Saturday for a week. Loads of fresh Lettuce and radish for me.
Dave.. Well done on your 4lb lost that’s wonderful. Where is your holiday booked.
H H … you are doing so very well you will be having loads of wiggle room lol.
Sym Its better to be well prepared with taking plenty of Euros .. Not long to wait now.
I hope every one is having a good day…. Beauty is everywhere. You only have to look to see it.. Xxxx.

Goodness time flies…7 stone is unbelievable ..that is really a lot…a very big well done…x
Jean I was 24st 11lb and now I’m 17st 13lbs so 2 more pounds and it will be 7 stone lost. Got slaughtered at bowls 21-3.Ib have had a very bad run of players that’s are numbered one for their team. If I get someone who’s average like me I win most of them. But I have no chance of beating three top players.I have beat a couple of them on a very bad green🤣. It does help when you lose weight , spurs you on and now I have a target that I thought was unreachable in sight. Mess to lose it preferably before I go on holiday.
Morning All..
Walked with Natalie it will be 6 weeks till we see her again, my holidays and hers..
Faffing with holiday things.. just decided I better take more euros out with me, it’s hard to judge. I will get that next week.
Chippy lunch.. take the boy with me he has a bit of mine..I shall eat it in the car…
Charlie’s fitbit isn’t working I think I will call a day on it… it’s been nice having it these last 5 years..monitoring his miles…
Dave..
It is really good seeing you goal in sight, last stone to loose.. you have done brilliantly.
Is it 4 or 5 stone you have lost…
I think you have lost the most in our little group. It must be very much healthier for you. 🤩
Jean x
Good morning everyone I’ve lost 4lbs this week so very happy with that. 13lbs to go to my target then I’ll think about setting another target.I will never get to what the NHS says is a healthy weight. If be going back to my school days to get to that. Bowling the next three days so I don’t mind a drop off rain too slow the greens down. All the experienced bowlers like fast greens but I like slow heavy ones. Jean soon be on holiday, bet you can’t wait I’ve still got 8 weeks to go. So no holiday feeling yet thankful… HH you have worked so hard to reach your target so really well done. The sun is trying to come out but if I put suncream on it will go in 🤣 see you all later.
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.

Pocket List – Day 28 🥕
@anicecupoftea
Afternoon all
My weight was up 1.5 kilos this week, I was kind of expecting it after the stress of the last week. I wonder if my lung issue is partially responsible for my struggle to drop the fat, Lungs are pretty vital to the burning of fat. The chemical equation for fat is C55 H104 O6, when you’re burning fat, when you take in 78xO2 through your lungs, the body converts the fat and oxygen to 55xCO2 and 55xH2O which you then breathe, sweat and pee out.
Walking is going fine, I don’t have any issue with walking on the flat and downhill. At the moment I’m walking in to work, then catching the bus home. If I’m still feeling good by Friday, I might try taking the bus halfway home and then walking the rest of the way to see how I manage with that. This weekend I’m hoping to get out for a short bike ride on the flat around the harbour to see how I cope with that.
Turn, great to see you again. I love the area. We’ve stayed at the motor camp down by the lake at Twizel a couple of times, we always visit the salmon farm there too, some of their flavoured cured salmon fillets are delicious. There’s an annual frisbee golf tournament there every year too, called “Moonbase”
Well, I guess I’ll just keep on keeping on and slowly work my way back to fitness as my body clears these clots and I start being able to do more. I have a follow-up CT-scan in 6 months, my goal is to slowly build back up my fitness so that if I get the all-clear on that scan, I celebrate with an away bike trip.
Have a great day everyone.
Hemmy..
We have had rain on and off but we had two dry walks..
I went local shopping change of plan..so no chippy…
Hedgehog..
Spiders!!! OMG couldn’t be coping with them…good luck on trying to loose a bit more.. I feel as if I am free wheeling ..trying but not to hard!
Dave..
You sound very upside down.. that’s the only trouble when decorating and doing jobs..
Jean x
They didn’t say anything about a different prescription or even the existing one. The stuff I ordered as just arrived, pretty quick that only ordered it this afternoon. May need some rawl plugs the screws look a little smaller.Hope the screw extractor works. Will try it tomorrow afternoon. Lots of rain today so no painting done outside. The house is in turmoil boxes everywhere can’t move for them.
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.
Evening!
Dave- fingers crossed for the scales tomorrow! Did Denise get any suggestions about where she might be able to get her prescription, or do they not know about that? Hope you can get the doors off tomorrow…we keep Amazon in business too.
Jean- did you resist the chippy? We used to go to Asda most of the time but ours have only 2 tills open so massive queues, I’m not going to put a whole trolley load through self service!
Hemmy- did it dry up at all for you? Is it this week you’re watering for your neighbours?
Nana- shame about hubby’s bug on your holiday! I’ll eat most things but hate parsley sauce, hope you enjoyed the fish cakes with it!
AS- shame about the little bit back on, but if you’ve had company it’s not surprising! Enjoy having your niece & nephew…Your garden sounds great, I’d love a bigger one, we grow a few veggies, would grow more if I could…
Went out early with my friend & her dog, got quite a bit of cleaning done, although a fair bit of that time seemed to be rescuing spiders & taking them outside! Very wet here this afternoon, the farmers will be pleased…Another extended FD here to get into the wiggle room, a few days away the week after next, so don’t want too much to go back on…
Have a good evening 🥰
Got soaked twice already today plus when I picked Denise up from clinic and then soaked again shopping 🤬🤬🤬. One good thing the bowling will be better for me if the greens are wet or heavy . That have been that quick with all the sunshine I had a job keeping them on the green. Tried to get the for off it’s hinges not only managed to remove 3 screws the others are solid so had to buy a screw extractor, told you I’m keeping Amazon going. They say it will be delivered today but I won’t hold my breath.Salad for tea tonight and I’ll get weighed tomorrow.If I lose a pound I’ll be extremely happy if not then it’s back to the drawing board.
Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx
It s a grey wet day here we got soaked on the mornings walk.
I cant get motivated today with the weather.
A S.. Gardening is time consuming especially when you are working. .Maybe pots are a good idea and easy maintenance.
Nana ..What are you doing today.
Dave.. The bowling clubs are very social ..Your trip to the Rose and Bowl sounds lovely.
H H …Well done on doing an FD on a holiday weekend… Its oh so easy to overeat in holiday mode.
Sym… Did you manage a dry walk. .and resist the chippy lol.
Enjoy your afternoon everyone .“Give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.” Xxxx
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……. 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 – 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 UK f800
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
Pocket List Day 27 🤩
Good morning everyone, it poured down most of yesterday so not for done yet. The team won at bowls yesterday and that takes us to 2nd from top on the league on Monday’s.Wednesday is a much tougher league,were just about hanging on in that one. The same one Thursday but it’s a weaker team and Friday we’re half way. We have organised a trip in June at a pub/restaurant called the Rose and Bowl. They have a large bowling green at the back, we get there and have tea and biscuits then do a draw for bowling then they come round with mountains of bread and chips. We then play bowls on and off for a few hours then at night we have a carvery and dessert, soup first of you like that diet of thing😝. Then a coach home about 9pm. We did it 2 years ago and had a great time. I was drawn with an old lady who could just about lift her bowls as my partner. But it’s all good fun. I did stop a few pints from going sour 🤣.

Morning All..
Walking shortly with Natalie and Oreo.. give the boys a good run..
Bright at the moment rain is expected so it will be no boules… I have food shopping to do, might have a drive to a large Asda there is a nice chippy nearby.. could be tempted…
AutumnSky..
That sounds a large garden to keep tidy.. when Steve was with me, we made changes to make it easy. Getting to old now for border digging, it’s lovely if you love it like Hemmy. I like it tidy but easy.
Take the weight as it comes, it’s a way of life not a diet, you can soon put your head into it again. Life has busy times you have to fall into peoples plans. When back at work it will fall into place again.
I know I will put a lot on when on holiday, still it will come off again…a lot of wine and chatting with Katie, a years catch up takes its toll but well worth it.
Shower time.. have a good day with the family sounds busy 😂.
Jean x
Morning all,
Hope you all are doing well.
Jeans – I hope you’re enjoying your book. I have a kindle, but I always seem to go back to books. I love the smell of a new book. Wow! £4,000 is a lot for those changes to your garden. Definitely look around.
Hedgehogs – You are most welcome!😊
Brads27 – It sounds like it was cosy in your house last night with the fire on. It was a little nippy here, lots of rain, and I had to get my steps in, so I was out in the rain. I have family around, so we ended up at the local park in the afternoon. Hope Denise is going well.
Hemmy – It’s a 100 foot by 80 foot with a very large shed at the bottom of the garden. There’s a patio section with table and chairs at the other end. It’s mainly grass in the centre with paving on either side to walk down to the shed. There are flower beds running along the paving. There used to be spring onions, herbs, potatoes and all sorts growing. But we dug it up and opted for something simple to maintain, as we never managed to get tend to the garden properly, and it would become overgrown all too often. Lots of regrets now.
Things are busy here – in a good way. My niece and nephew are spending a few days with us during their term break. A few trips planned for them (Horniman museum today (more family to visit in SE London) and then bowling tomorrow). A short trip to wales is planned for the latter part of the week. Then back to school on Monday.
However, I did peek at my weight this morning and I am 2lbs heavier.😞 Unfortunately, I am now back to being 30lbs away from my goal. Not feeling good about it, and I can tell from the way that my clothes are fitting a little tighter, that I have slipped.
I know it could be a combination of water weight, as I did eat a lot of carbohydrates over the few days, but it was mainly me over indulging. I am keeping positive that today is another day to do better.😀
Have a great one every one!
Evening All..
A bit of a flat day here, everyone seems busy over bank holidays, dog walkers go out at different times..a couple of long days with no chatting..
I am walking with Natalie in the morning.
Dave..
Hope you managed your doors with your new bits and pieces.
Hemmy..
My toes are a sort of shocking pink, so I have bought a colour about the same, so I will do my fingers the same. I am just seeing how the different colours wear and chip.
To cold for bbq’s here.
Nana..
Glad the holiday went well and you had a good time. Shame on hubby being unwell.
It’s about 10 days to my holiday, Friday 6th..
Jean x
Afternoon everyone, back after a lovely time away last week. Only drawback was OH had a nasty 24hr tummy bug one day but other than this a lovely relaxing time with nice sunshine but a cold sea breeze. Autumn Sky I took my kindle with me and did a bit of reading, enjoy your break and try not to work every day. For us retirees every day is a holiday, but I can remember when I worked how I used to enjoy my holiday time.
Hemmy very quite in our village also on our walk this morning.
Hedgehogs well done on achieving your goal weight it must feel good to have reached there.
Dave have fun with your new tools.
Jean not long until your next holiday be nice to have some time with your family.
Waitrose cod fishcake with parsley sauce filling for tea tonight, OH wanted chips with them but I’m doing horseradish mash.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.
Nana xxx
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!

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.

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….

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!
https://imgur.com/a/K2QN6DN
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
Near the end of May alreadY. Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday. I am relaxing and thinking positive thoughts ☺️
USA. Day 25 FD
My waterfast went well and I my weight is down a little today. Today will be a regular DASH FD hopefully coming in at around 800 calories. I can’t believe that May is almost over already, too!

Pocket List – Day 25 🥚
@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.

Pocket List – Day 25 🥚
@funshipfreddie
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
