Arkers said:Good afternoon everyone,
9 please Cathy
Had the result of my first mammogram after BC it was satisfactory. Never been so pleased to have a "satisfactory" before!
Arkers xBrilliant news!ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.6 -
I had a planned drinking day yesterday, at a socially distanced BBQ in my friend's garden. We had a great time, the first almost normal thing I've done in 3 months.
Back on it today.
15/10 AFDs please Cathy.

AnnieG said:Hello
im on 17/15 now.... enforced rather than the result of extraordinary willpower, I was taken to hospital last week and had to have my gall bladder removed, and now I'm on 2 different sorts of antibiotics, so have no option but to stay on the wagon. I've lost 3lbs though, so it's not all bad!!

arsenalbarnie said:Morning all. 2 to report please. Would love to jet off somewhere especially as have a significant wedding anniversary in July. Have decided to leave until the Autumn. I have put on so much weight in this lockdown. None of my holiday clothes fit me 😬. Gone back to weighing myself daily. Must cut back on the wine, or liquid jam as now calling it. Hoping to get another under my belt tonight.
Me too! I'm calling them lock down pounds.....

maggiem said:Lots of folk doing really well, already at target, Cathybird, Maman, AnnieG (although an operation seems a bit of a rough way to achieve that, hope you are recovering well). I quite agree Arsenalbarnie on weight issues, I have really enjoyed doing lots of baking but am finding strangely enough that clothes are shrinking probably due to the heat. 😉
I'm declaring early for today, must get back into better habits so 12/18 for Monday.Yes I think it was all the home cooking early on in lock down - home made bread, pizza, Thai, pasta dishes,

cathybird said:Morning all, it's 21 years to the day I first arrived in this country, plus I have another happy family-related event to celebrate, which I basically can't describe without giving away too much detail about other people, so think I'll have a drink or two tonight to say "yay".

And.....all is good here...14/21Started (yet another) diet yesterday....Youngest DS and gf have found a flat about 15 minutes walk away (feeling lucky - both our sons are nearby which is a blessing these days)....Our garden is looking beautiful too!....Lots of new freedoms being giving to us but at 58 I intend to be ultra cautious, I'm just totally happy that I never caught cv (know a fair amount of people who did here in LDN - it's not nice once you get passed 45!)....Stay Safe!
