    ‘Starting packing’! Gosh s-g you made me think. We have 18 days before we are due to leave. I need to make a start on packing NOW!

    I have to say it’s so difficult not actually knowing if we will make it or not. OH has an appointment on Tuesday so hoping that will be more conclusive. In the meantime just getting stuff together!

    Delighted March is almost over because for me it’s been more ‘Mindless’ than ‘Mindful’. April ? Well we’re only here for the first half of April and I’m just concentrating on ‘healthy’ eating at the moment and hope to carry with that whilst we are away.

    Hope March has been a good month for you but if not April is just around the corner and we can make that better!

    Oh V, really hope your OH will be well enough recovered in time for your trip. It must be really stressful not knowing if you will get away or not.

    I too am packing, firstly for this weekend as we’re visiting my folks and secondly for our Turkiye road trip. It’s almost a military operation getting it all sorted!

    Pleased to report I’ve managed to slip back in to the right stone bracket again … like SG, I’m hoping to improve on that before we leave in April.

    Am starting to give some thought to a title for the April thread … so far the adjectives I’m mulling are “accountable” and “awesome”, but if anyone would like to offer up some ideas, please let me know.

    Hi all, well I certainly wont be accountable in April, what with eating in restaurants 2 nights before cruise, then cruise for 2 weeks and then daughters for a week when she wants to take up for a meal for hubbys 80th plus he asked for an afternoon tea – even though he can have one every day on the ship – and its free.

    Definitely it will be awesome just to be relaxing. That’s my choice.

    An exciting time preparing for going on holiday S-G, Sunny B & Verano👍🌝
    I had an ECG this morning which was an interesting experience never having had one before but apparently because of possible high BP. Fortunately all was normal & I know from having looked at my blood tests results that I am not pre-diabetic but probably have raised cholesterol which is rather weird when mostly eating a BS diet & following TRE each day. I will have a phone call from the GP next week. I have no news regarding a surgery date so cannot book going away until I know this. I lost weight last week but doubt I have this week which is frustrating but will find out tomorrow.
    I hope everyone is staying well & has had a good week?
    Margaret xx

    Well I’ve regained 1.25lbs that I lost two weeks ago so I’m rather surprised & disappointed!

    Hi all, V, not actually started packing but there is a pile of stuff in the spare bedroom that I keep throwing in so I don’t forget it – little things like a new emery board, a particular pair of earrings etc. I have been sorting and washing all my dresses that I have probably had on once and stuck back in the wardrobe. Hubby goes away on Tuesday and back on Thursday so that will be my time to get on with the packing and also clean the house. We are having a rug cleaned with a hire machine on Monday so that will be his job while I tackle the rest of the house.

    Weight is doing well but will announce any losses on Tuesday 1st April. Have a great weekend.

    slight blip up on weight, just 0.025kg but I was up at 6.30 having to eat as BG was very low – slice of ham, 2 chunks of fresh pineapple and a Werthers Original to get me back to normal and back to bed.

    Started on personal holiday care and trying on all my clothes. The blue dress my friend lent me is beautiful but needs a belt, so will be looking for one, just a slim belt in either blue or silver (silver shoes). Hopefully, weight will be back down by Tuesday and I can count up my March loss (es).

    Oh so glad March is almost at an end. This month has been anything but mindful for me. In fact I would say, for me, March had been a month of mad, mindless, munchies.
    So no weighing tomorrow just starting April as I mean to go on with a mind reset and a return to healthy eating. No more and no less.
    Hope March has been a successful month for everyone else and your goals have been reached.
