Hi Switzerland ๐
My eyebrows look a lot nicer but there is a sore bit below the right eyebrow like she pulled a bit of skin off? I’m guessing a bit of wax might have gone on there by accident. Still I know it was just an error we all make errors. The beautician was very nice and the rest of it went well, so it won’t put me off having it done again sometime and the skin will heal soon enough.
As for fasting because I’m up early on workdays I can’t really fast too long on those days as I do like to have breakfast and the only time to eat it is before 0700. Usually on most days we have our main meal before 2000 so at least 11 hours between then and breakfast. Days like today are easier as I didn’t have my breakfast until I was home from getting eyebrows done but we did have a late dinner last night too. It would have been 14-15 hours between last nights dinner and this mornings breakfast. So sometimes it happens naturally anyway.
I’m not too worried about the plateau, I really see this as a life change now, the weight will sort itself out at it’s own pace.
I realised when I was cooking the chickpeas that I ran out of olive oil, so I used the low calorie spray oil and it worked well they’ve come out crispier. I guess they will be a bit lower calorie as well and lower fat – I know low fat isn’t good but the protein in the chick peas will give the filling power without the fat I think.
It seems I am likely to go over calories today but that is ok as I will be sticking to BSD principles and still within my own unofficial plan of following 800 most of the time with up to a few days off each week. I had a lot of cauli pizza lol.
Happy it’s interesting you saying that about the gluten, it could certainly be true! as for my little crafts I’ve also started a hand sewing project I’ve had in mind for a while. My daughter loves mermaids and I’ve seen a lot of these little mermaid tail blankets (like mini sleeping bags) online, either crocheted or made with fabrics. I had thought of knitting one but not got around to it so I’ve decided to make her one. I have a blue skirt I never wear that has some ruffles on it so I’ve cut it to shape and lengthened it a little with the cut off pieces. I’ve chosen some other garments that are in the pile for the charity shop that are nice colours and fabrics, I’m going to cut these up into scales and sew them all over the skirt to make a multicoloured tail, then once it’s all finished I have a blue fleece blanket that I will use to create a cosy lining for it. I thought it was something I could have downstairs and work on when my son is around. I won’t use pins I’ll just sew as I go freehand, then I might add some nice trimmings at the very end. I have some seashell buttons etc.
I’ve also bought her a large art kit, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000Y1204Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
She has been talking about wanting water colours for a while and I like to encourage reading, art and any out to play type activity, and I decided that to get it for her now at the beginning of her school holidays might give her something to stop the boredom over the next 6 weeks!
