Old Style Weight Loss 2020 - Part 4

Morning All,
Well done for losses and STSs and commiserations for any gains.
I finally decided to brave the scales and I really don't know how on earth I've managed it but it was a STS. I've been in a bit of a grump but, fortunately, some days that led to me not bothering to eat much because there was nothing I particularly fancied and I guess they balanced out the days where I wandered round eating everything in sight until I found what I was looking for
Best of luck and stay safe everyone xx

Trying to get back into some kind of eating (and other) routine.
Breakfast - Just had coffee which is really bad. Should have eaten something.
Lunch - Toasted chicken sandwich using some of yesterday's leftovers.
Dinner - Lentil soup which I made this morning.
I'm trying to cut down on alcohol so I'm sitting here drinking sparkling water with a dash of lime cordial.
Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.2 -
Afternoon all x

Now that the clocks have gone back and I'm back to just me and the cat I'm trying hard to resist the urge to eat as well the scales tomorrow will show if I've been successful or not, my sister is a bad influence on the evening naughties
I cooked a gammon at the weekend so lots of LOs this week. Lunch was a gammon sandwich and dinner was a gammon and mushroom risotto (no Parmesan or butter so I'll apologise now to any Italians)
have a good week and hopefully the winter evenings wouldn't invite the munchies

A 1/2lb gain for me which puts me back to 0 🙄 as my sister gained 2lbs I suppose I shouldn't complain too much
We lost my uncle today, he was 96 so a good age, although his dementia started 2 or 3 years ago I've really good memories of him he had a fantastic dry sense of humour and a wicked twinkle in his eye and all through my childhood he smoked a pipe and I loved watching him faffing with it he seen to spend more time doing that than smoking it 🙂 Not a easy time for my aunt as they had been married for over 72 years.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin5 -

Brambling, your uncle sounds delightful. He has obviously been part of your life for ever, so really hard to lose him. Your poor aunt. It's doubly hard to lose a lifetime partner and to have to learn to be alone in your nineties. So sorry.I believe that friends are quiet angels

Brambling, so sorry to hear about your uncle. Best of wishes to you and yours xx2
