Petals diary

You did very well at lunch, Petal. This Wednesday will be a test for me. The golfing women are very good cooks. I might see if I can buy some cherries tomorrow on my way home as I go past the cherry farm.

I sure miss the fresh cherries we get here. We planted a cherry tree a couple of years ago, got 3 cherries last year, are hoping for more this year. We are however surrounded by cherry orchards, almost as many as peach. But right now all look dead. At your suggestion I froze a bunch and have them from time to time, not as good as fresh though.
 
Oh, well done! on not having the potatoes or the stuffing! :hurray: I find those both really tempting, and steamed veg - especially if it's over-steamed, like in a hotel bain-marie - just doesn't compare in my greedy eyes-are-bigger-than-my-stomach gaze. Anyway, great start to dealing with festive feasting!

(Lucky you, @Cate , having the cherry farms next door! Cherries are so good for Christmas!)
 
You did great with the Christmas lunch. The boxes of Celebrations have taken over in my office, I’m really struggling to resist.
 
Cate I hope your lunch is not too much of a test and you enjoy it . I’m out for lunch tomorrow but as I will be getting weighed tomorrow eve it will be a salad for me .
LaMa it was pretty nice meal on Sunday . thanks Amy . I steam all my veg mostly and like it with a bit of a bite .
Rob that is so nice of you thank you .
Em what can I say they are bloody well everywhere we go . So far I have had none .
we are having a coffee morn on Thursday with some raffles and goodies . I have decided that I need to be able to exist in a world of festivities so I will partake in a mince pie . But that’s it . I am looking forward to it . Hope you keep resisting but it’s so hard . I adore celebrations . Just not the galaxy ones .
 
I meant to add I got caught out today and had no lunch prepped . I went to a sandwich shop and I’m sure the server thought there was something wrong with me . I was staring at the menu and just couldn’t decide. I ended up choosing a brown bread sandwich with chicken tomato and a scraping of mayo and a Diet Coke . I went to the plaza to eat it . I took about 4 bites from each half . I didn’t enjoy it , the bread was not great the chicken obviously processed to a degree . I was very let down .
 
Sounds like every time I even just look at a Subway's :p
I love that you bought yourself satin pajamas to feel good in!
 
And that's such a healthy sign you're really wanting to take care of yourself now. That's where long-term success comes from!
 
Satin PJ's sound nice, Petal. I can't find anything in Subway to tempt me. I have tried when it's the easiest option, but just can't. Perfectly normal I say. It's too boring & way over-processed.
I don't feel fazed this morning about lunch today. Would you believe I forgot about the cherries? I didn't have them on my list!

Subway

I like Subway, a few years ago I even tried Jared's Subway diet. Don't know if you saw him in Europe or Australia, in the US he, Jared Fogle, was Subway's advertising spokesman for a long time. He claimed to have lost 250 lbs eating nothing but 2 Subway veggie sandwiches a day. That all ended when he was found out to be a pedophile, not what Subway wanted. I looked him up and he's still in prison, and will be for a while. Apparently he has not regained the weight, so the US prison system seems to be a good place for maintenance.
 
Hee hee Rob I hope we don’t need to go to prison to maintain !
I have never been a fan of subway . I think I might have had it once maybe twice in my life . My son likes it though . My mum god rest her used to always say “ you can’t beat the bit you make yourself at home “ .
so true .

It makes you wonder, doesn't it? How hard can it be to make a good-tasting sandwich? Your mother's saying is right on the money! I'm sorry you had that waste of time/money/appetite/eating.
I used to like Subway - the Veggie Delite - with added jalapenos, all for the same price - $4:50, I think it was, but it's been a while, and I think it's gone up. Anyway, it was cheap enough, and it was vego and it was healthy enough. :)

But... satin pyjamas!! where is this story? I must've been reading too quickly; I can't see where you've revealed buying them. Absolutely wonderful, anyway! Like something out of a 1930s glamour movie - slinky and sensuous and very femme fatale! Go, you!
 
Lol thanks Amy and Rob.

I'm not sleeping great again. It's been good for the past 5 months or so but now I'm waking anytime from half 3 or 4 onwards. And generally can't sleep again. I am either listening to a podcast or audio book. Sometimes I doze . Starting to feel very headachy and tired.
 
No I feel good( but I know If this gets in on me it will change that ) ,I am looking forward to Christmas . If anything I’m in a better place than ever . Work is pretty stressful and full on right now is the only thing but I don’t tend to overthink that once I’m not at my desk. Maybe hormones. I’m 50 and definitely in peri/menopause.
maybe it’s time to bite the bullet and start getting my walks back in .
 
Went to weigh in an hour early today because the weather is is so wild here and I didmt want to go out again . I lost the 0.5 I put on last week plus another 1 on top . That means a total of 32lb to date . I have set my next target of 11 lb to lose . That I think might be my final target but I will reassess then.
