Way to go Saskia! I know you will do it, you are made of tough stuff. Here is a photo of us at the end. I’m the one in the middle (being propped up!)

Fantastic, well done!

The muddy look is something I am very familiar with, Mrs MC won't let me in the house when I return like that I have to hose myself down when cleaning my bike. Good for the complexion though :)

Thanks very much @Debandez for the subtitles on what Dr Zoe said. That was interesting she was very much promoting low calories, I hadn’t realised it was to that extent.

I did read some posts on this thread that said what what she was emphasising a great deal (toeing the party line so to speak). As opposed to you who was LCHF, you gave me verbatim what you said.

Thanks, I have a full picture of this interview now.
Thanks for taking the time to find this.

Good morning, I am greeted with a 5.8, probably the two glasses of red wine to ease the pain after all the gardening yesterday.

Dull with lots of rain promised, such a contrast to yesterday and still far to dark to get out on my Mountain bike to try and beat it. So a day of oil painting and music making for me, unless Mrs MC gets other ideas.

I am still feeling bits of grit in my mouth and ears. But now you come to mention it my skin does feel smooth!

5.7 this morning. Nice to be back in the 5s - mud must be good for fbg.
Woken early today by the pouring rain, so glad it wasn’t like this yesterday.

Hope you’ve taken a travel mug of coffee with you. Fingers crossed that your car sails through with no problems - it’s almost as nerve wracking as waiting for the results of a blood test.

@DJC3 great image of some tired but elated ladies with one very tough and inspirational cookie front and centre. @Muddy Cyclist enjoy your day being creative. We have some very creative members on here - a side I could never love or develop but I do appreciate it in others. There is some evidence that I may have been 5.3 this morning but who really knows? Definitely a slight familial rebel alliance making mutterings around the impact of LC on my wellness of late. Hard to rebut since from Easter every one of the side effects I know about have dominated. Bit like Macbeth, I am in blood/Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,/Returning were as tedious as go o'er style of thing. 4.30 waking lately isn't helping my case - may just need to have a tin ear when Julie asks. Charles Fuge Lowder to remember today.

Great pic @DJC3 ,looks like you had a memorable time.

5.3 on the dice today, off to pick up the WAV and set off to Poole for a week of fun in the sun maybe.

It is nerve racking DJC...the garage has coffee on tap so I expect I'll be digging deep into their reserves of the 'precious liquid' while I'm waiting.:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Starting the week with a 5.7

Today will be a real-world rendition of Much Ado About Nothing as I listen to the shenanigans of patrons whilst dining in the café. I'm sure it will be the highlight of the day as the only other thing going on is a delivery of new bed linen, my life is such an indulgence of the senses that I am fairly beside myself with joy :)

Morning All. Wow @DJC3 you are amazing. To be able to do such a physical thing with all that slimy mud (equal challenges imo) is to be applauded. Congrats to you and your girls. @SaskiaKC thanks for the International Cats Day poster might give mine a treat today to mark it! @ianpspurs sorry you are still struggling and early rising. Hope things get better for you.
I had a 5.2 this morning. Have a good Monday everyone. Stay well, stay safe.

If my memory serves me well wasn't this speech given at a banquet? A more than appropriate quote to explain your challenges, I sympathies with your dilemma and admire your tenacity, hope you eventually find a path through this.
LC certainly comes with it's challenges.

@trick60 good reading to start the week and, having googled WAV, once again fantastic thing you are doing. Hope the British weather doesn't sabotage things. (too much?)@PenguinMum you slipped that great reading in very subtly - well done young lady. @HarrisonK enjoy your time at the cafe and new bed linen. @Muddy Cyclist thanks for the tag. I'm not sure my challenges are unusual. Maybe I am less starry eyed about this WOE than some but if it is to be for life the very rough edges need knocking off pronto or at least give better results as a trade off.
