    Sorry for going AWOL guys I fell off the wagon and have stuck my head in the sand, I've not faced the scales 🫣 I fear it won't be pretty when I do 😔

    I'm hoping my annual blood test will show my thyroid meds need upping as well a gaining weight I'm falling asleep in the chair, not a quick nap but 2 / 2.5 hours. Either that or I'm eating a lot more carp than I thought which as I'm not cooking in the heat is a possibility.

    Any way enough moaning from me. Well done forthe losses and condolences for the gains and well done for those getting to target already this quarter.

    pleased to say I'm holding steady.

    OH bought me some trousers for going away in a couple of weeks and they are much too big so need to be returned. Shame as the fabric feels nice. Then again they are also about 6 inches too long….
