Morning all. NanKate I do tell as many as I can about the Pears as it's a lovely thread. I even talk about in real life along with other threads but never mention any names.
Some have mentioned fasting tried that in my 20's it was horrible. No 64 no way would I try it. I know it works for some people but our bodies need certain amount of calories to function and definitely all the nutrients it needs . If you don't eat our bodies are very clever and hold on to the energy stored in our fat cells instead of using it. Fasting can kick start a weight loss but shouldn't be maintained for more than a few days. We need food to keep our sorry to mention it but our bowels working properly. If you don't eat or eat enough calories your body needs can lead to constipation.
Even if you drink to much water for days that can lead to diluting your sodium and folic acid levels to much. I know I did that when I had months of UTIs and kidney infections. Got told off by my GP as I had upped my usual 8-10 drinks a day to 12-14 and had to have 3 month course of folic acid tablets. I thought if I drank more it would flush the infection out 🤦 caused me other problems.
But everyone is different and has their own way of losing weight I am not saying whatever way you choose is wrong just be careful and make sure you have all the nutrients your body needs to function.
I do take a daily calcium,vit D and vit K tablet,cod liver oil,vit B12 as I don't eat red meat,folic acid and vit C. No idea if they help but trying to make sure I cover all bases. May be over kill but that's me.
Sarahmob maintaining all that time is brilliant and gives me hope I can do it once I reach my goal even if it takes me another year to get there.
Well I totally expected to have put on pounds this week but much to my amazement stayed the same as last week. I expected the scales yesterday to say one at a time 🤣.
Had emergency phone call from my daughter Wednesday morning she was very ill so was her eldest. Her husband had to go too London for work could I come over. Gladly did it. She did look very poorly . There are different viruses making the rounds at the moment unfortunately they got the sickness one. The little one is very good and when his brother lay on the sofa with his head on my lap he brought toys close by so I could still play with him and look after his brother. Snack was biscuits and because of time it would take had jam sandwich instead of soup for lunch. My thinking was it was my jam and lower cals than cheese. Ok I wanted a jam sandwich but only I slice of bread. More biscuits. Luckily the boys both eat a healthy lunch as I know what they have. My poor daughter couldn't even keep water down until after lunch.
My son in law was worried I had been there from early morning so sent in the support team in the shape of his parents at 5.30. And his dad took me home. As I always have portions of my dinner in the fridge always means I have a healthy meal waiting.
Thursday over indulgence on the biscuits at craft group. Then Friday had been invited to one of my old exercise class friends home for cheese and wine lunch one was ill so there where 4 if us. It was lovely there where 6 different cheeses and had plenty of all of them plus bread,crackers ,butter, lemon mousse and cake. As I don't drink just had tea. Had a wonderful time . I had been shopping before hand and it had hailed but got dry and warm . By the time we left it was dark and raining again. Got to the bus stop and saw the bus to get me home was only 15 mins wait. Another bus I could have caught which would have dropped me on the main road came at 5 but thought only 11 mins for the bus that drops me off at the end of my road so I waited. Normally I would have caught the other bus and walked up. Anyway by half past my bus still hadn't come but one that dropped me on the main road did so got on that one as by then I was so cold I couldn't feel my hands and feet and was wet. If only I had caught the other bus I would have been home earlier 🤦🤦🤦. I was so wet I put my PJs on and hooded oversized blanket then put my dinner in the oven to reheat while I had hot drinks. After a hour went to get my dinner guess who didn't switch on the oven. Luckily I have an induction hob so dinner quickly heated.
You will ask why I didn't do that in the first place but I have to have my heart tablet a hour before eating so that's why I reheat in the oven after taking it.
Saturday I made chocolate brownies ready for my craft group secret Santa on Thursday as I am at a funeral on Wednesday . I licked the bowl which I don't normally do plus eat the bit of left over chocolate. Didn't cut the brownie just put it into the freezer while.
Hence my surprise I hadn't put weight on. As per usual I have rambled on but as I have said before that's me in real life.
NanKate,Four,May ,Allsorts , Shinamae and all the rest of your have a good week Christmas is fast approaching.
