    Woof I'm home but it was a very tiring ride .. of I left a little after 9:30 ..but got homenaboit 20 min ago.. had to stop Alfie pukes in the car next time no breakfast for him... and silly me it's a little cooler up there so I had a heavy sweatshirt on which made me sleepy. So took a 10 min rest at a rest area and got home..
    It was just what I needed and will download the pictures this afternoon..

    Carol - Max is an electronics geek too, but his mum rations him really closely. Here we try to focus on interaction, but we did watch some kids programmes on Utube. He 'helped' me with Duolingo Spanish this morning. (He was excellent as you would expect as he goes to a bilingual school) His computer time is the first thing to be confiscated if he is naughty. :o I'm sure he will end up doing something in that area as a job. He goes to coding classes on Saturdays.
    His favourite thing with DH is inventing board games. Today they made one called 'The Not Happy Holiday'. It had forfeits like, delayed flight, getting your wallet stolen, losing the keys to your villa. :D

    I did manage to do 400 calories of exercise this pm. Rowing and biking. Phew! Luckily I enjoyed the streamed tv programme I watched, so the time passed easily.
    The dinner I cooked tonight was gorgeous. A zucchini and tomato mix with a garlic prawn topping. I will do that again. Very garlicky and a bit of fresh chilli.

    Just squeaked under calories today.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    This.......my exact feeling & DH loves home made bread! He’s one of those long tall guys who never gains weight.I am sooo jealous!
    “Barbie I am so with you about bread, eating the whole thing with butter, it surely is one of my triggers. Also understand about not wanting to sour the joy your DH gets from his new hobby. Is there a nearby soup kitchen that would welcome his output? Is there room in their (or your) freezer to accumulate loaves 'til there are enough to share?”Barbara in Oregon

    I’m just starting this quest “again” on 4 Aug. my goal for August is to lose 8 pounds... wish me luck. I lost 3 pounds my first week.
    I really want to be a success story this time.

    Hello! When I read your post I had to add, "we are all success stories even before we lose the weight". Its giving yourself permission to put yourself first.💖👍

    Michele, the coconut milk is to add creaminess. The original recipe said you could leave it out. I’m sur a little almond milk would also be ok. I used food grade peppermint essential oil, but I would use mint extract if I didn’t have that. I rarely have the leaves. The recipe also said you could add a little vodka to keep it from icing up in the freezer. I only make enough for the one serving and eat it immediately, so I see no need for vodka. Barbara, I pour the leftover coconut milk in a mason jar with a lid and store it in the fridge. I use mine in other things like smoothies and more ice cream. It keeps for a while. I’m not sure how long. I use mine up pretty quick. For some reason, I think the canned coconut milk is creamier than the carton. Cacao nibs are 45 calories per tablespoon.

    You can also experiment with other flavors. I just think it has to have the frozen banana for a base. I’ve done a frozen banana, 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries and a little coconut milk, too. It is extremely yummy.
