I'll be sure to message my weight loss friend, podiatrist and therapist later.........got to shift those kilos :eek:
Lol. All joking aside, I know from previous experience that it can get obsessive if you let it. :sad:

Oh absolutely and so very, very difficult to maintain which is why I've tried several times to explain it. Given up for now.

I do have a good friend who is qualified and very knowledgeable. The best tips she gave me were drink water, fuel the body correctly and enjoy treats.

The forecast gave 99% rain at 9.00. Bang on the nail guys. ๐Ÿ‘

I've flushed the bathroom drain with boiling water after putting down cleaner last night. The gurgling suggests the cleaner needs repeating.

Right, it's breakfast time. 0.75 litre of water, 40g (150 calories) porridge made only with water, desert spoon of honey (60 calories)......โ€ฆ......whoa........steady Paul, steady........:laugh:

Bore da. It rained heavily most of the night ( at least the bits when I was awake) and more is due during the day so I must take Molly out before the next shower comes. She is sitting by me at the moment, wondering when we are going. Of course, no ride today but that's ok as I don't do rides on two consecutive days anyway but the week end appears to be dry according to BBC weather forecast. I think it is going to be a quite boring day really, looking for something to pass the time away although we did buy some ceiling coving in B&Q yesterday, ready to put up when my wife pushes me enough. Stay safe everyone .

2% charged and charger knackered ... here goes with fast fingers ...

I apologise NHS, I have always loved you. The other day I was cynical and I was wrong.

My appt was for 9:20. I implied hours of thumb twiddling. Instead I arrived at 9:18; you had me admitted and prepped for safety by 9:19. I was seen before the clock said 9:20, and away on my way home in about 15 mins. This wasn't thanks to Branson or any other unnecessary privateer. This was you at your very best. Respect.

Good morning. It's grey and cool which I'll settle for. 97% chance of rain at 10.00 declining to 60% for the rest of the day.

Woke at 3.00 feeling very hot but managed to sleep from 5.00-7.30 so not too bad.

The calf feels much better but I will continue to rest it. No cycling. :sad:

I've gained 1kg in the last week. I've been bored, biscuit barrel by day and couple of whiskies in the evening. Not good. Should I:
  • Empty biscuit barrel in to dustbin and try not to climb in later?
  • Strengthen my resolve with the expectation this will crack around 3.00pm with a cuppa?
I must find something useful to do with the day.

Remove the temptation by eating all the biscuits now. ^_^

Morning all....Wow, what a night, enough rain to keep the flowers happy for a while. Very busy day yesterday, didn't have much time for the interweb.

Today we should have been flying out to Santi Terzi in San Gemini, Italy. Today would have been a bad day for โœˆ anyway! roll on next year.

Out for a wet walk with Alan๐Ÿถ shortly. ๐ŸŒˆ

Switch your drinks!
You do realise that there are more calories in whisky than there are in Guinness. 78 against 12.95 for the same 35ml measure.
