Must try harder!

Oh no, I imagine the takeaway had lots of salt and it must be mostly water 😬

I borrowed Nancy's books from the library but didn't get to read them during the 3 weeks 🫣 and then had to return them as they were in demand.

@WinterWarrior it’s likely just water retention as the takeaway probably had a really high salt content. Make sure you drink plenty to help flush it out. 

Also worth knowing that in order to put on a pound, you have to eat 3,500 calories more than you burn - so it isn’t fat and will soon drop away!

@New_in_the_fens and @jokono thank you. I can live with water gain 😅
I definitely didn’t over eat 3500 calories. I guessed for my tracker using the takeaway category and thought I was about 400 more than my deficit target.

Hope the melon for breakfast works!!  I’ve had this week off and have done nothing but eat out and spend money so I feel your pain. I’m currently sat in the garden as it’s cooler than my house eating chocolate brownies for breakfast 😱 I never plan proper breakfast when I’m home xx

Oooh brownies 🤤

I always find fruit for breakfast helps a lot.  Brownies are more fun though!

Happy Saturday 🌞 the extra pound is still there…no clue! But we went out for lunch before food shopping so I doubt two thirds of a Mac n cheese and half a portion of chips will help matters 🙄. Now I’ll work on getting it back off, along with the remaining stone. 

It’s a bit cooler today, which is lovely for me and dog, but the sun is starting to get carried away with itself now. 

MrWW has just popped out for a few hours of his hobby and I will scroll mindlessly while listening to my audiobook. It’s the second in a series, the first was free with audible, but I enjoyed it so happily paid for book 2. It’s called Roseland (and now Roseland vol 2) by Eric Ugland. It’s long, very light easy listening about a call girl turned p.i. She has some phenomenal luck and there are rather a lot of ‘she said, he said’, but overall very enjoyable. If you have audible and it’s still on the free to listen then I’d recommend trying volume 1 if you want a nice no brainer. 

I hope you are all having a good day 🌞

Happy Sunday ☀️ I went down almost a pound this morning, but still half a pound over last weeks lowest. Hopefully that will drop tomorrow. Even though I know I’ve lost a great deal since Christmas I still feel fat! I most definitely need to shift this stone. I’m still 3lbs above my fattest weight (you know - the weight you say you will never allow yourself to exceed 🤭). 

My back tweaked yesterday so I was hobbling around in the afternoon. It’s still there, but better. I don’t feel quite so hobbly at the moment and am hoping it gets better over the day. A good excuse not to do any housework!
I might nip into L1dl later as we bought some Vimto ice pops yesterday and I ate 2 last night. They were so good that I think I need to bulk buy some more to last me the week 😬
My Nancy B books arrived yesterday so I will need to think about the ingredients I will need for green cleaning…there seems to be a lot of white vinegar, white spirit and baking soda involved!
I hope you all enjoy Father’s Day if you have plans for that. I was trying to write a post with a photo of my dad on fb (I know, I know…I always wondered why people do that when their dad isn’t even there to read it and now here I am being one of those foolish people 😖) and I was struggling so much to put into words all the feels. A bit like real life really, I don’t think I ever said what should have been said. It’s a good job introverts can’t explode isn’t it, all the big things bouncing around inside them and then..kaboom 🤯…what a mess the world would be….all the extroverts would have to do the clean up whilst voicing their displeasure very loudly 🤣😅 Anyway my post ended up being a lovely photo and a very lame one liner 😬
I hope you all have a good day ☕️🌞

A lot of my friends have put photos of their deceased dads on FB today. I suppose it shows they’re still your dad even though they’re not physically here. My dad left when I was 14 and I never heard from him again until he sent me a FB friend request a few years ago. I didn’t respond as there was no message with it and I felt there should’ve been. He passed away a couple of years ago and it was strange finding out, not sure how I felt really.

I don’t blame you, you’d expect something, even if it wasn’t an explanation or an apology 😢 Back then an adult put his feelings above his child’s and that’s so hard to understand.

I'm always envious of those who can write and speak eloquently about things.  I just can't!
