    Thank you @Pixie_Cosmo and @Brambling, all that extra Vit. D makes me feel better, I tan easily and look like a local after 3/4 days... 

    Although I only put on a Qtr lb, I need to putt pants up and try to lose, at least 7 Lb by end of June, need to get back to portion control, no snacking and less booze.

    Used to regularly do beach walks, we went out for the first time in ages on Sunday and managed a good walk, the pain clinic are sending me to Yoga, hopefully this will also help... if I can get on the floor without help!   :D

    Brunch - 2 slices of black pudding, one egg, 2 tomatoes

    Tea - fried some PSB with bacon bits then baked with a bit of creme fraiche.

    In exciting news, my ferritin level is now 21. It hasn't been over 11 for 7 years! I'll carry on with the massive iron tablets but can probably not panic so much about eating lots of red meat.

    Good news re your iron levels Frith  :) looks like the tablets are working
     
    I hope you have recovered Brie every cloud has a silver lining  ;)

    I've not weigh in this week, have been feeling sorry for myself with a attack of gout which unusually seems to be disappearing as quickly as it arrived - I'm not complaining about that!  A family funeral on Saturday meant a visit to my eldest sister and there was too much of her lovely homemade cakes :#
