The Retirement Thread

I am just about to tuck into porridge with blueberries and honey.

I blamed the menopause, but presumably you don’t have that problem.

Pleasant wander round the riverside trail done and just finished a bowl of strawberries and greek yoghurt. I’m really enjoying berries and yoghurt for brekkie at the moment. Nice mix of protein and carbs too so it seems to fill me up ok. I was finding with porridge, I got hungry again quite quickly. Maybe raises the blood sugar too much then crashes again?

Porridge is a slow release carb, there shouldn't be any peaks and crashes.

Did you?
And if you did, were it good.

I did indeed.
I said, a few says ago, I find the packets of Quaker oats so simple to prepare ie empty the sachet into a container (I use a jugl) .....fill the sachet up to the line with milk, add, stir and micro for 2 minutes.
No guess work.
I add eg blueberries and honey.

And very little cleaning up afterwards.
Just heat and eat...

Yes just a jug and a dish which clean easily.

Morning all . You all seem to have good blood pressure readings to me .
I’ve been on an increasing amount of medication for it since I was in my mid 40s.
My readings today are 129/78 with a pulse of 64 and that’s me on ramiprill 7.5mg and felodipine 10mg and I still get the odd spike in readings on the top figure.
Have a good day. 😀

I recently read an article in one of the sciency forums / websites I frequent that was discussing the male " mid life crisis " effect andlinking it to hormonal changes. I believenthe term " Manopause " was used 🤔

And there was me thinking’ male mid life crisis ‘ just involved getting a large supply of blue pills and trying to find a partner half your age. 😂😂😂😂😂

Well, it started early as a sheet day and will probably now go downhill. I cant say why, but I'm not happy.

Yes, I find it an excellent breakfast for winter rides.
