Thanks alt and SH - Sunday's sound like the future to me !! nearly there!

Wow - that has been a busy 10 days - family visit x2, then busy week at work, then  family visits x2 at the seaside back where I grew up - which was nice.  I'm not sure if I was surprised that I remembered so much, or that I had forgotten so much

Despite a lot of travel and eating out I was careful with what I ate, and I am now another kilo lighter - 11 kilos in 7 months - slow but sure.

Steps have been dreadful - I'm just not getting out there, but will be a focus again when I Go part time - was thinking of doing one gym session and then the next morning go for a long walk

Money OK - not keeping a tight eye on it so there is some wastage but not overly so, and I can nip that in the bud when I get through the summer.

Planning a long weekend in France to celebrate my part time ness, and then may be something at XMAS - probably UK seasonal market Sunday/Monday

Hi @mark55man, great update.  Having visitors is wonderful, but I must admit to enjoying the peace and settling back into my simple routine when they leave.  Congratulations on the weight loss.  Love that you are planning a trip away to celebrate your part time ness, after all it is an important milestone.

Thank you Humboldt

Family visiting has quietened down and nice to have a weekend to ourselves.  

Last full week of being super busy and its all gone well except was not helped by a tummy upset - don't think it was stress related as busy but not stressful. I actually enjoy working at full tilt (just not for too long)

in related news I seem to have lost another kilo over the last two weeks.  SO I will take that as a bonus - I think being a little uncertain of your digestion helps wonderfully in moderating your food choices

Just chilling at the moment with a large sp0rtsd1rect mug of tea - starting my hydration early

I love how a sp0rtsd1rect mug has become a form of measure … a bit like blue whales or elephants 😊

or double decker buses, swimming pools, and football pitches

Thank you KK and FH for making me laugh and thank you g00gl3 ai for telling me that just under 4000000 sp0rtsd1rect mugs are needed to fill an Olympic swimming pool or 2 blue whales  (side by side but not fully submerged)

another week over - big project finished as far as I am involved - there will be follow up but ironically although the follow up is bigger I will be less involved so that's good

I am still feeling a bit queasy and out of sorts - lucky its been a quiet few days.  Will try and get out today - a bit stir crazy - thank goodness fr trashy literature and my kindle

In related news I have lost another kilo so I am now nearly half way to my next target of 200lbs

Not much to say really so will leave it there wishing everyone happy rest of summer holidays and hello Autumn
