Low-fat Scotch eggs?
DO TELL!
Reminds me of a Peter Wilde song.4 -

Then I noticed all the other disagrees with everyone else. I feel sorry for people who rain on others' parades, if that's the case.
Anyways!! I came down with a touch of the plague (I'm exaggerating - but I was very miserable!), but it's cleared up quickly and although I am not ready to resume my workout routine, I have an appetite and energy to go grocery shopping. I made some great choices at the stores today! And I weighed myself this morning and was down a whole bunch. I know it's totally not real (just from not eating hardly anything for three days) but seeing that temporarily-deflated number motivated me a lot. I know I can get there. This sickness was sort of like a 'detox' and I feel actually kind of refreshed and ready to make good progress now! I still need another day or two to completely rest my body but I feel in a healthy mindset and in a great place to resume control.
I read on here somewhere that on some devices it is really easy to hit the dislike button with a random thumb - one person noted that this had happened to them a couple of times. I choose to assume that this is the reason for some of the very strange 'dislikes' one sees on here Congrats on your speedy return to health and great shopping choices12 -
This weekend I went to a family wedding where I saw people that I haven't seen for 20 years. I was told that I had turned the clock back years and that I looked younger than when they last saw me, in spite of me taking the decision to stop colouring my hair and to go au naturelle! Of course it is an exaggeration but it did make me feel great30

35 minute 5k. Could have run the whole thing. People walking on the left and my son’s asthma slowed the time down.23

I know it doesn't seem like much but I had spinach today. I also had enough water and I'm proud of both of those things40

I have to buy new bras. The ones I was wearing are too loose in the band!24

I did 10 chin ups in a row for the 1st time today. This time last year I was 95 lbs heavier and could barely walk up one flight of stairs without being out of breath. Not bad for an "old man" of 55... Now on to 20 in 2020!

My pup and I went hiking today and I had enough energy to go the whole time!22

I ran up and down the stairs a bunch of times yesterday (I'm having house issues that required frequent basement checks) and I didn't feel tired at all. Those stairs used to get my breathing going.30

A good friend asked me last night when I was going to start competing in physique or powerlifting (she’s a power lifter). I was flattered, but demurred bc of my crappy hip and sub par squat. She insisted on knowing my lifts and was confident I’d do well for my age/size on the state level if I just competed in bench and deadlift...so...maybe I’ll join her team for a few sessions and see what the coach says 😬 def a confidence boost just to have someone ask me about competing!27

A lady I haven't worked with for almost a year turned up today and after a while said: 'you've lost quite a bit of weight since I last saw you'. Not even a question. Anyway I just replied, 'yes quite a bit,' and left it there.20

I was able to sweep and steam-mop the downstairs vinyl flooring in one go. Before this I had to sweep laundry room and back hall and sit for 20 minutes while my back recovered...sweep kitchen...sit...steam mop laundry and back hallway and sit....steam mop kitchen, and sit....and that was all I could do that morning, I hurt too much.
Today I did all that in fifteen minutes. I'm going to sit while the floor dries, but then I'll pick things up and run the vaccuum cleaner. This is great! I can handle the scale not moving much if I keep having things like this happen.26 -
Today one colleague said my clothes looked baggy because I'm so petite.
Another colleague today said my pants are falling off and she was going to buy me a belt. I agreed my pants don't fit me anymore. She's petite like me 4'11" but always was a good bmi.
I went home thinking the pants I was wearing was a size 6 - it was the size 4 that I had saved hopping I'd fit in them again since 2007. But now I don't fit because I'm 8.5 lbs from my doctor's goal for me. I never thought that would ever happen. I started as obese in the Asian American bmi chart and now I'm in the normal range of the same chart.

I had to use a belt on a dress that was too baggy. I bought the belt last year after I'd experienced some major weight loss. I noticed that I've moved 4 belt holes smaller from when I first got it. 😊

This week’s NSV: I’ve never had so many guys rush to open doors for me. I’m loving it. Doors are very difficult to open.29

I PR’d my shoulder press yesterday and today o signed up for fitness competition- my first ever. It is ok if I’m last place - I just hope to finish.18

My cheek bones are still indistinguishable from the fleshy part below them, but now I have like... valleys in the parts of my cheeks that run along my teeth-line. Wow, it's kind of hard to phrase this so that it makes sense, and I'm not sure I succeeded.20

Thank you!
Today I walked twice as far with the dogs. I used to be exhausted after this particular round and needed to lay down for a bit, but this time when I came back I just sat down behind my laptop to do some work. I'm so happy I'm feeling better already while I just started. Now I'm only hoping to stay motivated and working on keeping going. Have been on a weightloss journey in the past only to be stopped by health... Praying and hoping it won't happen again 🙌16
