Onwards & Downwards: June 2020

Hi all,

Here is last month's thread.

Usually the hot weather brings a lack of appetite, however with the lovely weather we experienced in May has anyone slipped into a bucket of ice cream?

[Old_Geezer]

Oh I didn't bother listening to the details much these days. I assume so if they later find one person infected they can contact and demand all others at the pub isolate for a fortnight, or whatever.

So, having put on a stone since lockdown (the stone I lost from beg Jan to mid March) I started logging all my food on myfitnesspal from Sunday. Going to stick to around 1100 cals this week then move to 1200 next week and then 1250 the week after and stick to between 1250-300 thereafter.

I was feeling so good and fitting into all my old size 12s, now back in my 14s. Even some of those don't fit me now :o(

We can moan together Tigger but at least it’s brought you back to us. That’s a positive!

[tiggerblue10]

Indeed Xstitcher :o)

Tigger did you know that we lost our lovely Wendilla in the beginning of Feb. I met her on here but we went private and had the greatest friendship with several mails a day. Now I keep up with her Daughter.

[tiggerblue10]

Yes I think I recall seeing a post announcing she'd passed away. Always sad when we lose an ABer x

Hope her daughter is well.

[xstitcher]

Yes she is. She’s starting up a home business making the most beautiful cupcakes that I’ve ever seen. Much too beautiful to eat. She has real talent.

[tiggerblue10]

Lovely. I love making cupcakes but I'm useless at decorating. My hand isn't steady enough to make them look decent. Just end up with a blob of icing in the middle! lol

[jennyjoan]

don't worry about that tigger, sure it ends up as a blob in your stomach.

[tiggerblue10]

I know Jenny but I would love to make them look at least half decent.

Hi, starting to get a bit of control back, five of the 21 I put back on down, so my h easier on my own, I don't have unhealthy food in the flat, I can cook whatever I fancy,

[xstitcher]

Well done you Rowan. You’re mind set is in the right place.
I’ve just discovered how delicious dry fried spring greens are with pork, with dabs of sambol olek......don’t need potatoes.

[xstitcher]

Good evening all,
Oh boy am I out of sync. Nothing good to report any way. Hmmmmm

Good morning all, oh dear, it’s about 15+ years since I’ve been in the UK so my heart started beat double time when I saw that my favourite and only type of crisps were now made here. My helpful self disabling did a walk about. They arrived yesterday and I ate the whole bag and guess what, they didn’t taste nearly as good as I remembered them to, so that temptation no longer exists. Whew, narrow escape!
