Hope you get your other health issues sorted really quickly and life gets back to normal. So sorry that these health issues are so disruptive.Hi @PenguinMum and @SaskiaKC I am about, reading posts and giving ratings but not posting for a while. Attending to other health issues which I won't bore y'all with but they are quite disruptive so routine has somewhat gone by the board. Thanks for the tags and I really appreciate it. Also must give a special mention and huge thanks to @DJC3 who pm'd me - what a very special lady you are.
The very same. Nice guy - Canadian, very tall from what I can remember. Hung around with Reg Dwight who used Johns name when he changed it to Elton John.Would that be Long John Baldry? I had a copy of 'Let the heartaches begin'
Good morning everyone on this damp but optimistic pre-bin day.
The wonder wheel of too much yoghurt and berries last night rewarded me with a stern 6.1
All this talk of bands and special dance moves reminds me of the lyrics of a Manfred Mann number:
There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do"
She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine) ——
How? How does wailing nonsense while snapping fingers and shuffling along equate to looking good and fine? Unless of course she is a candidate for some experimental institution.
Have a great day if you can, big hugs for all who need them, glad to read that you are chugging along @ianpspurs - in our thoughts.
I'll take the coffee & dark chocolate gennepherAn interesting talk on You Tube about fruit:
And I watched the next one...
Thank you and your hope fir sunshine did the trick, pleanty of it.Yourday out today sounds great. Hope the sun shines.
Hi @DJC3
Yes I am eating all my food in a morning. I start eating about 9am. I usually finish eating about 12 (sometimes up to 1pm depends how my day pans out).
I usually eat within a 3 hour window (but sometimes within a 4 hour window, again depending on how my day pans out).
Consequently that means I am fasting 20 to 21 hours a day, every day.
Occasionally I may eat something early afternoon, but that is to suit meeting someone. And it really doesn’t agree with me and knocks me off kilter the rest of the day.
Thank you very much!
A bit more added at 13:55pm:
I have been losing weight doing this.
A few weeks ago I was just over 120kg.
This morning I was 113.9 kg.
I hope I am not banjaxing my lucky streak by sharing. I was going to keep it to myself. But I am a bit proud of myself.
Also I am trying to keep my carbs to under 25, or even 10. But it’s when I meet someone for a meal, it gets a bit tricky to keep to that, but on the whole I succeed.
That’s brilliant @gennepher it really seems to be doing the trick. Do you get hungry in the evenings?
No I don't feel hungry in the evenings @DJC3
But I think what also helps me, is that I live on my own, I don't have anyone to cook for, or to cook for me, and maybe the main thing is that I don't have a television (not had one for nearly 20 years now), and so I do not see adverts for food and consequently don't get triggers in the evening for something I might fancy. So, I think in that respect it might be easier for me than others who have partners and family living with them.
Interesting observation about the food triggers and TV I find Im quite susceptible to suggestion. I watched a prog this evening where the main characters were often filmed in bars and restaurants with glasses of white wine and I found myself really wanting one too. We didn’t have any in the house, so I couldn’t, but I think you’re right about the subconscious effect of watching people eating and drinking, even without advertisements.
