Walked to work three days this week, twice in rain, but at least my work shorts have come out and I actually need a belt to keep them from slipping down. Last week I got a bit too fast and loose with my eating and somehow we ended up with a bakewell pudding, chocolate cake and scones in the house over the weekend and it just got a bit ridiculous. Hence I've started tracking calories again on Monday even though I still had some of the pudding to finish.
It's quite difficult when you're trying to eat up to 30 plant foods a week and then your husband brings home a giant loaf of soft white bread and another pack of scones randomly in a week where he's not home for lunch much - so I feel I have to eat it because I hate to waste food. I need him to stop buying things that are on offer - it's not a good deal if it doesn't fit into my plan to stay healthy and eat good nourishing nutrient dense foods. He needs to mosey down the fruit and veg aisles for yellow stickers instead of down the bread and bakery ones!
On the plus side at one point we also had some wonderful sweet dark cherries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches and a honeydew melon so those were delicious!
Anyhoo, so my step-count for the week wasn't bad and I got to chat with friends at a pub on the bank holiday Monday and also potentially made a new friend visiting her shedquarters at the end of her garden. She's a jewellery maker who also moulds reclaimed metals like copper and bronze so it was fun to see her little kilns, all her tools and paraphernalia and her beautiful little garden with lots of birds visiting bird-feeders and her little jack russell occasionally wanting us to throw his favourite bit of rock to fetch.
I feel very grateful to have met her and another lovely women whom I've been out on a few walks with through the monthly creative networking thing I've been going to since December. I feel like I'm slowly coming out of my perimenopause cocoon and making some new local friends, which was very much needed. I still value all the lovely friends I've made here on FS so I hope to be more active here when I have some time. Hope you're all well and wishing you a fab weekend!
On Sunday we'll be going to a family fair type thing in a park close to our new house. Not sure if I mentioned that before, but we had an offer accepted in early April. I am still not quite believing that it's all happening until someone gives me a date when we'll get the keys (or perhaps when we sign the contracts). Until then it seems rather tentative and fragile and I'm almost preparing to start looking on Rightmove again, but silently holding fingers crossed that the sale goes through smoothly.
That was my Friday morning occasional ramble. I will try to be more regular and start to get some weight shifting in the right direction again next week. I've taken the odd photo of my food, but then just don't seem to find the time to post it so I need to engage more. It can and will be done and some Rock Stars on FS have spurred me on! Keep on Rock'in! x

Gaining 0.4 kg a Week
17 May 2024
This is after two weeks of experimenting with not counting calories. In the first week, I went over 68kg again and now it's come down again.
Averaging around 9k steps a day and trying to drink lots of water. Also having 2 tbsp ACV a day either in herbal tea or I prefer it in food (savoury or oats) and beetroot, which I love anyway. Re-introduced those along with trying to reduce stress to get my blood pressure down to normal. I've finally bought a kit to take readings at home after another spike while seeing the nurse at the end of April. Still not sure if they'll put me on meds, but time will tell.
Sorry I've been absent on here. Not sure when my headspace will allow me to come back and be present so I've just been dipping in very occasionally. And sometimes, like this morning, the app is so glitchy and just annoys me.
Hope you're all doing well and living the good life! Have a lovely weekend! xxx

Gaining 0.1 kg a Week
03 May 2024
Tracked reasonably well this week and step count has been good hence a long-awaited drop. Might inspire me to keep tracking calories through the weekend, but we'll see how it goes.
Hope you all are well! x

Losing 1.1 kg a Week
26 April 2024
Running out of steam and not tracking over the weekends. I am allowing my 3 hour evening cleaning job to be my only exercise right now, along with a 35m walk to there three times this week. Will hopefully average 10k daily steps again this week, but it might be lower.
Felt a bit off this week like some of the perimenopause symptoms I had last year were coming back. I'm trying to be mindful about it and stay positive so it doesn't take me down further.
The low temperatures have been rather annoying, so I'm hoping that the forecast for 16 degrees next week is true so I can start to really enjoy spring. It's just been a bit too friggin' freezing lately!
I hope you all have a great weekend! xxx

Gaining 0.1 kg a Week
19 April 2024
Slow going, but at least it's in the right direction. I stopped tracking calories last Saturday and Sunday and then started up on Monday again. Not been doing too well by going over targets, but I'm still trying. Will see how the weekend goes.
Eating out this morning and tomorrow for breakfast and brunch, but life goes on... I may or may not try to guestimate those.
This weekend, I'll be catching up on work and trying to fit in some downtime. I may need to draw up my next 12 week plan for getting back to strength training and toning up, but maybe that will start in May.
Hope you're all well! Have a great weekend! xxx
