We’ve woken up to whiteness and one of the heaviest frosts so far. The temperature is minus 2 C with a real feel of minus 6, so I don’t feel like sticking my nose out of the front door just yet. I’ve been up since about 8 and have seen one of the residents go out for his daily run. Easily in his 70s, he runs five miles every day as well as walking Poppy at least twice. She is such a sweetheart.
As expected, the scales were not exactly kind, and have added a sock to my weight.
As you know, the week did not get off to a good start being sat in the A&E car park for the majority of the day on Monday, despite my efforts of a ‘healthy snack’ and being over generous when calculating my syns. I had my double syn day to try and keep on track, but when I think I’ve also had 2 (small) slices of our neighbour’s marmalade cake, and we cracked open the smarties over two days (I weighed my portion of 9 syns for day one and the second worked out at about 6 as I only had 25g compared to 38g giving Hubby the lion’s share), I feel lucky to have got away with just half a pound gain.
It’s a new week, and I can start afresh, so hopefully will lose that and maybe a little more.
I don’t quite know what to do with myself today. No good having a baking session as that defeats the above object and I have enough cards for the time being, so I might write the letter cards to our friends and also prepare the birthday cards for those due the first week in February. I will need to go to the Post Office tomorrow to check for fatness in case they need the extra postage. I’ll put some credit on my phone at the same time.
Lunch today is jacket potatoes with ham and mushrooms in a cheese sauce. I’ll do extra veggies to pack out the plate. It will work out as a free meal as the cheese will be my second A option, the ham and potato are free foods, and the veggies will be of the speed variety. All good. I started the day with porridge, one of my allowed B options. Sigh, and it’s not even ten o’clock yet.
Hope you day has started on a positive note.
Keep safe and warm.

I agree with your quote: it’s time to be proud of who you are and what you have done!
Thanks Pam.
Half a pound isnt much Di, You’ll lose it next week, I’m sure of it! We’ve got a heavy frost here also! right now though its 4 Degrees here! Stay safe! Xx
Hopefully I will. Still cold and although the roads as no longer white, the pavements are.
We had quite a bit of snow overnight but it looks like it’s melting now.
Just frost here, but it’s so cold.
You will get there x
I know. Thanks Gary.
The sun is shining but it is a cold 23F/-25C. The wind chill factor makes it felt colder. I had a good fast of peach jello with mana muffins they mandarin oranges and cherries along with Bob Miles GF muffins the flavors go together. The 1/2pound could influence by water intake. Stay safe inside and play some darts and stay safe.
Bless you. Keep safe Bettylouise
