    Good luck for tonight @beanielou . It was only the one meal so you might be lucky.🫰🏻

    I didn't think the cake was likely to go stale or be wasted with Joe around😉 @joedenise so well done on freezing it.👍🏻

    DD1 brought me some mango yesterday which I've been enjoying. It's lovely with some lime juice squeezed over it. Shame it's not a Speed fruit.☹️

    I'd forgotten that you tried drinking water instead of your usual @bubbs. Id have thought water would be the better option but if the Pepsi works for you, don't knock it.

    So refreshing to see 🌞 on the weather forecast rather than a big fat 🌧️. We'll all have super clean beds this week!😁

    Today's plan-
    B- HEB toast, eggs, bacon (P), baked beans (S), HEA milk for tea
    L- cold meat (P), LO veg and pickles (S,F)
    D- fishcake, SW chips (f), stir fry veg (S)
    Swips- fishcake 2

    Very happy to report a 0.6kg loss - the full holiday gain - this week. The practice scales have been calibrated over the last week too so it’s defo correct.
    Tonight we are having jacket potatoes with beans,tuna and HE cheese. Will have salad and beetroot on the side.

    Sorry it’s short and sweet but I’ll catch up on the posts later.

    I forgot to say i went online to get an appointment with the DOCTOR because my shoulder /arm is getting worse, i also have a problem with 2 toes 🙄🙄 Got a double appointment for Thursday as you can only discuss 1 thing at an appointment 🙄 looked later it's with bloody physio, so i will still end up going doctors as they won't have a clue with the problem i have with my feet which has been ongoing for a few yrs, hence the injections i have in them. Just annoys me if i wanted Physio appointment i would ask for a physio appointment! Rant over

    Food today

    Lunch part fibre

    Tea. I used 5%pork mince to make "cottage " pie, added onions, tin baked beans, tin of chopped tomatoes and stock cubes, got 3x meals i usually do for 2 people and was delicious, couple of sv for gravy

    Fantastic loss Beanie.
    Sorry to hear about your mum LW. Be kind to yourself and do whatever takes to get through.

    Again I’ve been doing what I can foodwise and have stayed the same. I think my head is just all over the place whilst trying to sort the house in readiness for getting a valuation then we know what sort of property we can look at for the move. There are so many if and buts atm but I want to be ready for when the time is right. I think I will go back to group once we actually move as it’ll be a good way to meet people and I do stick to plan more when I stay to group. But for now I’m doing what I can. I have been out several times for lunches with friends I’ve had for years. I don’t want to move without having said bye to them and I know I could well still be here in a years time but things might just all fall into place.
    Well done on the losses everyone

    Oh and happy belated birthday Maman
