Took me 50+ years to quit biting them and this stops me biting them! <div><br /></div><div>I'm also thankful for a washing machine to deal with all the piles of washing I did yesterday, and the weather being dry so I was able to hang it all out for the first time this year. That saved me at least £3 according to google :)</div><div><br /></div><div>My dinner was leftovers, I'd stripped the bits from the chicken we'd had last week and frozen it in the bit of gravy, the mash, stuffing and gravy was leftovers from our Sunday dinner - I just added peas and yorkshires and it was delicious.

A busy, enjoyable morning at the huddle, then I helped himself with the windows on the motorhome, he's had them tinted. Why? Well it's not a pose thing, b<span style="font-family: Poppins; font-size: 12pt;">y tinting the windows of our
motorhome we will enjoy benefits such as increased privacy, temperature
comfort, UV protection, and decreased glare.
Because our motorhome is aging it will also give it a fresh look. Replacing windows costs and fortune, I'm talking thousands of pounds and up to now because the windows are made from polycarbonate it's not been possible, I won't go into the science of it - BUT YES I UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE I'VE HAD TO WATCH LOTS OF UNINTERESTING YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH HIM :). Anyway we found a company that finally does it, but it was in Torquay, so I had the job of finding out where the cover stuff was sourced from. America, but they also had a distributor in the Netherlands. I contacted them for more information and it turned out a chap in Aldridge could help us. Tony has been doing similar for years </span><a href="https://www.shadessolarfilms.co.uk/">Shades Solar Films Walsall: House Window Tints Films Walsall</a> and he's now doing this too. He was so helpful in understanding our needs and urgency and got it done in time for him to go to work yesterday afternoon. He's done a great job too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSuh-wvbsqfe2IsycqLdo-NdukHjpx6h6FGDAO1rcmrQcgaehf3wXTEHl3h4nn6gH8jWpxFmj7K3m4rlHMGcMLEfYaXoJA3UBz5EnSZrJulljJd67yD6wAlaDEeeULfOu4lacVnHsOdcEFn_V9sjUPMs1RKBZ8YoPJ6QNBWlqnmMas9LHDbSpsbx7OjQ/s2048/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-03-15%20at%2010.24.59_b915b533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSuh-wvbsqfe2IsycqLdo-NdukHjpx6h6FGDAO1rcmrQcgaehf3wXTEHl3h4nn6gH8jWpxFmj7K3m4rlHMGcMLEfYaXoJA3UBz5EnSZrJulljJd67yD6wAlaDEeeULfOu4lacVnHsOdcEFn_V9sjUPMs1RKBZ8YoPJ6QNBWlqnmMas9LHDbSpsbx7OjQ/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-03-15%20at%2010.24.59_b915b533.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRsBxfBrbr8vBr8i6YZt4I6hNAJVC-1zdbUX7XLK_gHd2tRkSyi6ir2sOBnIwArTr019fzHV9lPgXjULwsfq5eaBp43peqK34qyuwg1BzVY8BHzrTIbldOJgIlih3OjQUeQNcXDj4hQg5uIW9S2r8_FybuJKB5RnvqR4QHS1FDwQXYm02IsiAbqP_Q0mc/s2048/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-03-17%20at%2013.28.59_96b0ae69.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRsBxfBrbr8vBr8i6YZt4I6hNAJVC-1zdbUX7XLK_gHd2tRkSyi6ir2sOBnIwArTr019fzHV9lPgXjULwsfq5eaBp43peqK34qyuwg1BzVY8BHzrTIbldOJgIlih3OjQUeQNcXDj4hQg5uIW9S2r8_FybuJKB5RnvqR4QHS1FDwQXYm02IsiAbqP_Q0mc/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202024-03-17%20at%2013.28.59_96b0ae69.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div>Before on the left, after on the right, you can't even see the curtains anymore and you can still see out from inside the van perfectly. <br /><p>Yeah, that was how exciting my weekend was. </p><p>He went at 2 and I'd planned a relaxation afternoon, manicure watching crap on tele and Aryn comes and plonks himself down on the sofa saying do you want to watch DUNE, erm not really no but because he rarely does it, I said "of course" :) </p><p>Anyway, it's Monday and I've got lots to get done but I'm not putting any pressure on myself as to what I manage to complete, I've got all week whilst he's away.</p><p>Have a great day, let's stay on track.</p><p>Mwah, luv ya </p><p><br /></p><p>Love me </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p></div>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620285253303554738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382186088008559127.post-3083266478945302522024-03-16T07:24:00.001+01:002024-03-16T07:24:11.294+01:00Weekend ahead - I will survive!<p>Saturday 16th March 2024</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0y5FOtnpoNiwQ1VK59yKqlje9P9hxFnNeV_jjl-tRLsgjBr2Jv6NxKRwObflm-lhurEFEzPcJA0_o8nzGpjy1CBDUh43cF7Kb_1TX67HvwJablZH9h_v10O02gxSuKB8OSyYA3AOVnQwGi9ExoHrgPE_NgQdO9x8jkNYCi9YEdaCMjRyVJ0-PLhMrJXw/s392/7abce68b91f20a16b3039c4440d8ad17.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="392" data-original-width="280" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0y5FOtnpoNiwQ1VK59yKqlje9P9hxFnNeV_jjl-tRLsgjBr2Jv6NxKRwObflm-lhurEFEzPcJA0_o8nzGpjy1CBDUh43cF7Kb_1TX67HvwJablZH9h_v10O02gxSuKB8OSyYA3AOVnQwGi9ExoHrgPE_NgQdO9x8jkNYCi9YEdaCMjRyVJ0-PLhMrJXw/s320/7abce68b91f20a16b3039c4440d8ad17.jpg" width="229" /></a></div><br /><p>I'm back on track after my half a pound gain on Thursday, managed a day within my calories Friday enjoying my meals.

After a lovely huddle, I got home and made us breakfast, well it was 11 does that still count as breakfast, I guess not, so we had brunch and we had mushrooms because I needed to use them up, then I remembered there was 2 burgers in the freezer so we ended up with a burger and mushrooms sandwich and a slice of plastic cheese, it was must tastier than it sounds :)</p><p>Then we spend ages driving around trying to find barge flashing, yes I know what they are NOW! I also don't care if I ever hear those words again in my life because they're not easy to just find on the internet but now I know where to get them coated in grey if you ever need them lol! We get them YAY, then as we're driving back, he realises he'll also need screws (eyes to the sky and deep sigh!) We get them, that takes 2 stops, then we're driving back and he sees a graphics shop that he's passed many times but its usually shut, today it's open so we have to stop there, but they can't help, they do however give him a place to try so we drive there. This means we are out of the house for almost 3 hours in total I reckon. </p><p>Finally we're home, I make a cuppa when he states, I don't the adapter for the bit that goes in the drill. Can I point out, whatever it is he usually wants, he either doesn't know what they're called or the have a different name in Ireland, so finding them on google is fun - NOT! I work out what he wants and go to Screwfix to get it. I know you want to know, it was a pack of Erbauer Socket Hex Nut Drivers. </p><p>All the time he's doing his work outside, I'm having to remember to tell him what a wonderful job he's done of my lean-to because that's now going to be a daily occurrence so he feels appreciated and I get other jobs done. 🤣</p><p>Eventually I'm home, Aryn and I agree we'll do double at the gym Friday because it's too late to go now and I haven't started dinner. We had chicken and chips for tea, I made coleslaw to use up some red and white cabbage out of the fridge, added some onion, cheese and sultanas and it was lush. </p><p>Hands up, I didn't track at all yesterday, so I will take whatever the scales throws at me and start afresh. As the quote says, "you are the product of what you do everyday" and I'm happy with me. Yes I want to lose a few more pounds, I don't want to be skinny, just healthy, I also want to enjoy life, that for me includes delicious food and wine.</p><p>I'm not sure what we've got today, there's some veggies to go with something, I just found a pack of tuna steaks in the freezer that have been there a long time so I might use them although they would probably be better hidden in a fish pie or pasta dish. I'm just fed up of food shopping, it doesn't seem to last and it costs a bloody fortune. </p><p><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white;">Anyway, physio done, showered and ready for work, so I better get my ass moving!

Working in the garden reminds me of the wonderful hours we spent out there, I completely changed the living room after she died so there's no memories in the visual of that room but the garden, well, she's everywhere. Silly things like looking at the summerhouse and thinking of the time she denied breaking the glass whilst throwing her bricks lol. Even the flowers I'm planning have memories of where they were in the garden when she was here. Oh I need to stop because my eyes are starting to water. </p><p>Time to get ready for work, here's to a great day, lots of giggles both at work and at home.

We were one piece of feather edge short when he had finished the side and the shop was closed by then. It'll all get finished by the weekend so it's all good. It looks fab and I love it, I can't wait to sit up a table to eat, the house isn't big enough to have one indoors. I hope it stops raining today so I can clear up the rest of the garden, it didn't stop yesterday! </p><p>The rest of the weekend went by in a blur if I'm honest and for the first time this year, I didn't track yesterday, time to get back on it this morning but I have enjoyed everything I've eaten this weekend. I went and got myself a Bounty Easter egg on the way home and I then proceeded to eat it over the weekend, Aryn kept hinting that he couldn't resist the charity ones so in the end I used that as an excuse to give them their Easter eggs that I'd hidden and for me to eat mine. 1008 calories in it and it's out of my system now.</p><p>Meal wise, we had chicken and pizza Saturday for tea, I only had 2 quarters of the pizza, which was 422 calories and a couple of chicken drumsticks, managed some salad with that too. Then yesterday we had a roast beef dinner which was perfect after the day he'd had outside in the rain, thankfully undercover though because he'd do the lean to he was just putting the side up.</p><p>I've got the day to myself YAY, he's gone to work, Aryn will be off to school in a bit, yeah I've got stuff to get done, actually a lot of stuff but I'm still gonna find an hour to do a bit of chilling start a new jigsaw maybe, finally finished the Wasjig one which I didn't enjoy, too many bloody santas and I'm all done with Christmas for the rest of the year now! </p><p>I didn't track yesterday but I didn't go mad either, if I'm good the rest of the week, maybe I can get a maintain. Either way, I'll take it, I had me a few glasses of fizz yesterday for mothers day, she may not be here but she's remembered and missed, I was okay till I'd seem my siblings had posted photos of her, that tipped me over the edge. </p><p>And how easy is it to overindulge if you take your eye off the ball! Just the odd bit of cheese when you're making a sandwich or a slice of beef as you're dishing up the dinner! So easy, not to mention a bigger glass of fizz than you would usually have!</p><p>Back on it though as the weight loss is making me feel healthier, although my pain was bad Saturday night Sunday, on a positive though I had managed to stand all the way through our huddle chat, that's the first time in a very long time! I'd done a lot of steps Saturday over 10k which for me is a lot these days so no wonder I was in pain by the end of it, then standing a lot in the garden being a gofer so pain was to be expected.</p><p>Well I better get my 'to do' list started, huddle chat to put together, garden to tidy, bit of shopping to get done, think I need to go to B&Q AGAIN! I want to get some plants too but I think it's still a bit early in the season, I'll put that on my 'to do another day' list. I love the normality of my life right now, it's not boring, we laugh lots and enjoy our days, can't ask for no more - well other than a lottery win! </p><p>Here's to a good day, getting stuff done quickly so I can enjoy doing nice stuff! </p><p>Mwah, luv ya </p><p>Love me xx</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620285253303554738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382186088008559127.post-80764602583623684422024-03-09T07:48:00.002+01:002024-03-09T07:48:14.419+01:00What's made you Sm;)e this week?<p> Saturday 9th March 2024</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXW6MYMjHQGthPnPrV6Z1ytGllSRvQU8WDmzBch5rGDSh-sZ4cex3YgYhaChZCFanrJqrcU5zoYuc18YluLIb1uRsCeugLkoByLpQs8sKqkorLgS2xP3cd9XM5NVNIF5dLHGBHbiyrOG-9N2q7jt3D1CBiJgrYLZP8Am1U1x3aOl7DgVNxLrsJS01HH8/s564/abb260da71128de9b342726043d84098.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="564" data-original-width="564" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXW6MYMjHQGthPnPrV6Z1ytGllSRvQU8WDmzBch5rGDSh-sZ4cex3YgYhaChZCFanrJqrcU5zoYuc18YluLIb1uRsCeugLkoByLpQs8sKqkorLgS2xP3cd9XM5NVNIF5dLHGBHbiyrOG-9N2q7jt3D1CBiJgrYLZP8Am1U1x3aOl7DgVNxLrsJS01HH8/s320/abb260da71128de9b342726043d84098.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>No blog from me yesterday but I did have a lovely day. We had a lie in till 9, never do that but it was so good, that was the reason I didn't blog or do my physio but I've done it this morning instead. Once up we had eggs on toast for breakfast before continuing with the 'lean to' in the garden which is now complete and very pleased with it I am. Can't wait to sit outside and eat my lunch.</p><p>Speaking of food, Thursday night we had pie they had curly fries, I had butternut squash cooked in my Ninja, I forgot how much I like it. We also had posh rice pudding with clotted cream and I did laugh when Aryn asked, 'Why have they put pepper on this", I pointed out it was nutmeg :) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyMjcqEHW_Iz9iiHIT92NMYlkB9q3B9W8badT_tJt6IGqO4YwmXx9vNcTM7-QNOHmwz_RLILEm9JJApN3llc3B48RRx7TjWdpoyuCpG5zQu1JofRiwY8SZL6FTxzLRrJsJyv7PZvyKE0sVpiuy8VtqWCCNDACtWrp1708hHske1WfvxlG0hd44VJNpLOE/s3525/430140299_395167866481753_5852705751433568060_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3525" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyMjcqEHW_Iz9iiHIT92NMYlkB9q3B9W8badT_tJt6IGqO4YwmXx9vNcTM7-QNOHmwz_RLILEm9JJApN3llc3B48RRx7TjWdpoyuCpG5zQu1JofRiwY8SZL6FTxzLRrJsJyv7PZvyKE0sVpiuy8VtqWCCNDACtWrp1708hHske1WfvxlG0hd44VJNpLOE/s320/430140299_395167866481753_5852705751433568060_n.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last night was fakeaway Friday and that went down well too.

Now I'm not gonna lie, I've gone over the last two days as well but it's all tracked and under control. He's back at work on Monday so I can get back into a routine. This isn't a race for me, I want to be able to lose the weight but have a little blowout when I fancy one. I want an Easter egg, I never bother about chocolate but for some reason it's on my mind.

Anyway, a few hours spent doing that then taking the roots to the tip and clearing up along the way and I was finally allowed to go and write our huddle chat. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN0lKiWbJ9CE035QDiJtjGz5ocUKnvhm_a4FNkfsKcBQELNiaAsbBRSmRm7CZViRp5gnr1mo5-tieuQyv3MMe_-LDPDwxytZe6ULLt29ok0z1lfX3tYyQFewTDnKFbIYRpO-fxZN7XWYYBDURqWbsHXas6aIlw8tRqcfULBuLega0ufqrOkW9ZwRS02mE/s4032/428957121_394709133257140_4919566785438088663_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN0lKiWbJ9CE035QDiJtjGz5ocUKnvhm_a4FNkfsKcBQELNiaAsbBRSmRm7CZViRp5gnr1mo5-tieuQyv3MMe_-LDPDwxytZe6ULLt29ok0z1lfX3tYyQFewTDnKFbIYRpO-fxZN7XWYYBDURqWbsHXas6aIlw8tRqcfULBuLega0ufqrOkW9ZwRS02mE/s320/428957121_394709133257140_4919566785438088663_n.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETHYfj0ANSPlcXVPlP-tum78xihx6Xmsh9FV6eN_Z_akrAsx-1JAXcw1VG0K2eN8fbDExHe53gD6q5SolwbgFxVdst5rTd8RGgmsfHZX1ENgZX1KhWOChqVPf4suCG3k3qaEfCGJJG1sPUTEhVSo4BerbPSfFnoipwva64QI_rh-2JzBXlUsMwjv-t-g/s4032/429779395_3580114752235374_2310001454342663529_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETHYfj0ANSPlcXVPlP-tum78xihx6Xmsh9FV6eN_Z_akrAsx-1JAXcw1VG0K2eN8fbDExHe53gD6q5SolwbgFxVdst5rTd8RGgmsfHZX1ENgZX1KhWOChqVPf4suCG3k3qaEfCGJJG1sPUTEhVSo4BerbPSfFnoipwva64QI_rh-2JzBXlUsMwjv-t-g/s320/429779395_3580114752235374_2310001454342663529_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK98evtsURcAZVvuV5w137OQSNx5sLmDh4M-sKbFuhyvKsi4dcQYw2c6KYM9q9EBxCcny92zhjmJaPsz-WgDI9h1exuKj0mVqbvtm_5I3BGv0IT9cOeZSZ9dp-0DsoxvBNQyB6rA0pmz31ov5MBj1PUskiaGRRtZgAQ9uwVJUVRmfgDG12c2kMsg2i19A/s4032/430216310_7163003420403941_3628404416990389042_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK98evtsURcAZVvuV5w137OQSNx5sLmDh4M-sKbFuhyvKsi4dcQYw2c6KYM9q9EBxCcny92zhjmJaPsz-WgDI9h1exuKj0mVqbvtm_5I3BGv0IT9cOeZSZ9dp-0DsoxvBNQyB6rA0pmz31ov5MBj1PUskiaGRRtZgAQ9uwVJUVRmfgDG12c2kMsg2i19A/s320/430216310_7163003420403941_3628404416990389042_n.jpg" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkjE_Zcci7JGSHxexxqZlxyusrOg7Ia5m2kcd03NQIVuhsbJd7RZ3SXumRnFaCMw70L8dUQBHhWmOlLEd0yY5r-f9-aXbJKji1M4_-6P3AksampDZ6mZuqDUhom6Y8WkNLxWiwv8eFtzObjjNXo358oTPqNGl9P7NqoS6RlYGrRVeDrN0WauWEd_S1pUU/s4032/430700501_1371606026868916_6965730540499165167_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkjE_Zcci7JGSHxexxqZlxyusrOg7Ia5m2kcd03NQIVuhsbJd7RZ3SXumRnFaCMw70L8dUQBHhWmOlLEd0yY5r-f9-aXbJKji1M4_-6P3AksampDZ6mZuqDUhom6Y8WkNLxWiwv8eFtzObjjNXo358oTPqNGl9P7NqoS6RlYGrRVeDrN0WauWEd_S1pUU/s320/430700501_1371606026868916_6965730540499165167_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>What impressed me most was I was able to do it, even a few months ago I wouldn't have been able to stand for that long, let alone lift and sweep and shovel stuff.

WELL, turns out it was blooming delicious, so I gave him a bit to try and he said "yeah I'll I have a glass of that", so we were drinking that as it was too good for the food, I opened the other one which was almost as good but I did put a glass of that in the dinner. </p><p>The dinner was great, 9/10 from Aryn, he said it lost a point because it had vegetables in it and vegetables taste of sad :), himself went back for seconds which is a very, good sign and said he'd have it again for sure. I've just put the leftovers in two of the larger takeaway tubs. I've put that it served 6 but it might feed 8 normal people! </p><p>I have to say I used Organic Beef, it was on offer a couple of weeks ago and thankfully still was when I ordered it this week because you really can tell the difference when you cook it. I want to make burgers with it next time.</p><p>Anyway we drank that bottle, then of course there was the open bottle which we started on, then he said do you wanna come over the put but I was too cozy in my scruffs, so I said you go I'll finish this glass of wine. Then I knocked it over! So when he'd gone, I drank the last bit of the port instead, it was lush then I fell asleep watching my movie on the sofa and he came back at half eight and woke me up. He suggested more wine, thankfully I resisted, I didn't need more wine, I needed my bed.</p><p>That was my day, well apart from the housework stuff, I steamed the new velvet curtains to get all the creases out, that's a great gadget I paid about £35 for it I think but it does get creases out well, you can iron things hanging up! This ones not available anymore but there are lots like it.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZBPZWSrnNnjEu2o6VzSPPYWWpHA4Byrkc4JoQBxPjscSsTdA-D-OTnvXwemsBJ9OGqFSbz8Q-oFJojIJPEtNvV0eNg8k0priBgc_wUdRy8NC98g-rhALr49wHiG13swBdWB0W5d-XVp3tAtEOBpmjyQOaAvUrEKwhsUM2gjCDEpZY3B5GNDA3Lk6nN04" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1178" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZBPZWSrnNnjEu2o6VzSPPYWWpHA4Byrkc4JoQBxPjscSsTdA-D-OTnvXwemsBJ9OGqFSbz8Q-oFJojIJPEtNvV0eNg8k0priBgc_wUdRy8NC98g-rhALr49wHiG13swBdWB0W5d-XVp3tAtEOBpmjyQOaAvUrEKwhsUM2gjCDEpZY3B5GNDA3Lk6nN04" width="188" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>Here's to enjoying another day and tracking regardless! </p><p>Mwah, luv u</p><p><br /></p><p>Love me x</p><p><br /></p>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620285253303554738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382186088008559127.post-35669782955160795502024-03-01T09:47:00.002+01:002024-03-01T09:47:19.735+01:00If I can do it, anyone can!Friday 1st March 2024 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvO8IIM4sGdDrf5gGcy-EF1b74Jt_4xqqBtrqpUHQB_qUC4pNGeaUSt_aQUh70vFPy-5dWrxbfTtyX-rKpvpx70QRRe3Vub71GZi13XJukf55bjRhezSaHYpfYRM8SOJHBGyruOEEKH_rH1zOg6ak4QiDywKqC2d6gyJBKDq-F7rbnyYEghj_XPzLjXiE/s566/week%208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="566" data-original-width="564" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvO8IIM4sGdDrf5gGcy-EF1b74Jt_4xqqBtrqpUHQB_qUC4pNGeaUSt_aQUh70vFPy-5dWrxbfTtyX-rKpvpx70QRRe3Vub71GZi13XJukf55bjRhezSaHYpfYRM8SOJHBGyruOEEKH_rH1zOg6ak4QiDywKqC2d6gyJBKDq-F7rbnyYEghj_XPzLjXiE/s320/week%208.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><br /><div>Another pound gone, that's 13.5lb this year and I'm chuffed to bits with that!

Appointment at the gym at 7.30, physio at 11, then we went out for lunch as a treat as we didn't go out at the weekend. Both appointments were useful, I still need to work on my cholesterol, hoped it would've come down a little since my last one but hey ho, we shall continue with what I'm doing and improve along the way. Physio massaged my butt which has loosened up that muscle thankfully and gave me different exercises which I've done this morning, they were harder but I managed them so that shows I'm making progress. </div><div><br /></div><div>When I got back and he suggested eating out, I was all for that but I didn't want to go crazy with the calories and I have to say I totally enjoyed both of these meals. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZo84eghtuUkcJwPrtqaj8iy6sLpjybtHTA3gFPJh0GyfRw3UVHcYF02ei-ssdLTvSbNukJ-jjwtcnHdaYp4g4eDYaa5XPAdFiHCGIdh4eM-qjXbi5lDQNSsxsFnmMSpXA1giv-WCvZy_Bgj_cOP6TkjSyIi7nJgJ7ea0yt6T0OyUlkyl3PqYJXe-4x7s/s4032/428927139_2224586131206437_5219394604333509743_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZo84eghtuUkcJwPrtqaj8iy6sLpjybtHTA3gFPJh0GyfRw3UVHcYF02ei-ssdLTvSbNukJ-jjwtcnHdaYp4g4eDYaa5XPAdFiHCGIdh4eM-qjXbi5lDQNSsxsFnmMSpXA1giv-WCvZy_Bgj_cOP6TkjSyIi7nJgJ7ea0yt6T0OyUlkyl3PqYJXe-4x7s/s320/428927139_2224586131206437_5219394604333509743_n.jpg" width="320" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy4jfujNl-mIw9YTPqgXkItgAePLdHvvlyQmJmySCE-QrmVKw7sWnSDbXBMeKWR22y0zdUWBDEa2p58gM5vvsFwV6gtLY26g7IJGW8x6S7aqkVOtDeGhxAFVUqRvwW-9biDT1KH-baHXBe7iSmn1iA_rsw0gJKyBrFdMutUXDe8qdnkAQom5b6GpeAM_Y/s4032/429593755_1555543221684891_1212088410575183638_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy4jfujNl-mIw9YTPqgXkItgAePLdHvvlyQmJmySCE-QrmVKw7sWnSDbXBMeKWR22y0zdUWBDEa2p58gM5vvsFwV6gtLY26g7IJGW8x6S7aqkVOtDeGhxAFVUqRvwW-9biDT1KH-baHXBe7iSmn1iA_rsw0gJKyBrFdMutUXDe8qdnkAQom5b6GpeAM_Y/s320/429593755_1555543221684891_1212088410575183638_n.jpg" width="240" /></a> </div></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEI5owoaVUkElyiuLlUk2Vn8JSNgPv2H5J2oXCsQFoPJFd-s6mPEIGizwNK2XhtO1sQR5GxV1SSZ9ON3vK3GHOj7_ZRrctSvdcx9tqj0JZCwIQ62tWxOjPWBuXMSpU85PA3gaoe_FzAHV9wVQAJrm8M8DhGyNtxdS_f2QBQTDvKIBbxVnuh6WK5FhVH8/s1242/422197745_207906399046063_7377563603941195916_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="1242" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEI5owoaVUkElyiuLlUk2Vn8JSNgPv2H5J2oXCsQFoPJFd-s6mPEIGizwNK2XhtO1sQR5GxV1SSZ9ON3vK3GHOj7_ZRrctSvdcx9tqj0JZCwIQ62tWxOjPWBuXMSpU85PA3gaoe_FzAHV9wVQAJrm8M8DhGyNtxdS_f2QBQTDvKIBbxVnuh6WK5FhVH8/s320/422197745_207906399046063_7377563603941195916_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I fancied a burger but the beef one wasn't on the fixed menu so I decided to try the plant-based burger and I wasn't disappointed at all it was tasty, looking at the menu it says smashed avocado was on the burger, it can't have been a lot if any as I don't remember seeing or tasting any! Calamari isn't usually a starter of choice but I really enjoyed it, he had 3 of the pieces as it got a bit greasy the more I had, I'm not a massive batter fan but he loved it and asked me to buy some to eat at home.

It was really painful to do this morning, I'm truly hoping this and the weight loss and the little bit of gym work will all help long term. That's my WHY, that's what's keeping me going and stopping me from falling off track. I pulled back some calories yesterday, I can do the same today, I've got some leftover potatoes, I only ate 2 of those on the plate, I also have chicken so could do a bit of a dinner, make a little gravy. </div><div><br /></div><div>We're eating out the freezer this week, use up some of what we have, I'm feeling a simple week in the kitchen and maybe I can use some of my energy to sort the spare room, not a job I'm looking forward too but every time I look in there my heart sinks so it needs to be done!</div><div><br /></div><div>But first I have a huddle chat to write and a couple of other things to to, I've woke with a headache so I might have some breakfast see if that helps to shift it, I'm feeling eggs on toast, he had soft boiled eggs yesterday, they did look lovely so I might have them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's to a week of tracking and taking care of ourselves!</div><div><br /></div><div>Mwah, luv ya </div><div><br /></div><div>Love me x<br /> </div>Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08620285253303554738noreply@blogger.com0
