Possibly part of the pound problem, but the best biscuit I have eaten in years 🤭

And another pound up this morning! That’s 2 now. I swear I’m eating less than I burn, so it must be the weight of the food or something 😭 I’m hoping it will drop back off when things are back to normal on Monday. I did over 12k steps yesterday by squeezing in a solitary walk while everyone else was relaxing.We went to a couple of beautiful harbours yesterday, but mum had a day to herself, recovering from the excitement in her room. At night we all went out and mum didn’t make it to the food coming out before feeling ready to go home. We had her meal made to go and MrWW drove her back while the restaurant staff held back our main meals. They were so good and got a big tip for their kindness. I had a fancy salad, no starter, but a fabulous brownie sundae (maybe that was the pound culprit 🤭)
i have no idea what the last day plans are for today! I will add some pictures….the weather was amazing yesterday, so very sunny and hot.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

You aren't going to put a pound on in a day from just eating, so it will be natural variation, hormones or water retention.
Sorry your Mum wasn't feeling great, but sounds like you had a nice day anyway."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney1 -
I was going to say fluid retention as well. I find I tend to carry quite a bit in hot weather, especially as I get older … 🤷♀️🙄😉

It’s been very hot today, but clouded over and has been quite grey. We went for lunch at an American burger place and took mum a takeaway as she wasn’t for going out. I paid for lunch…£82 including tip..crikey! I’m used to lunch prices for 2 not 5 😖 Then we went to the beach and my sister enforced the compulsory paddle tradition 😅
It will be the final meal out tonight. Mum is hoping to join in!
I am on a 38 day streak on Duolingo. I’m enjoying the French learning.
