Thanks for setting us up for the new month S-G.
Verano, Soups and stews great for autumn and winter…I made a huge batch of soup with the last of my home grown courgette, onions and chicken stock… 28 portions now in the freezer! 😁

I do find the colder months more difficult to ‘be good’ with the diet, but will hope to keep on the optimistic straight and narrow!
K.xx

My favourite soup/hearty meal recipe is the one for Spanish chickpea and chorizo from the original BSD book. I will put it here for anyone who wants a spicy chunky soup.

Weight down again but doesnt it go slowly when measured in kgs. Yesterday I was 4.95lbs down, today 4.98. Onwards and downwards.

📽️📽️📽️ Really enjoyed the spur of the moment visit to the cinema. Great ‘relaxing, don’t have to think much’ film!

🐩🐩🐩 Put the deposit down on the new puppy yesterday…arrives on the 13th!!

🫛🫛🫛 Picked a serving of beans this morning, it will be the last…but great to have had so many through the summer!

Hope you all have some positives in your lives today.

Thank you for starting this post Verano – timely for me! I did well in September and reached my first goal in 3 weeks but I have been a little complacent this last week. Congrats S-G that is an excellent loss. When tempted, I like to imagine you folks reminding me to stay on track so..what are your virtual voices like? Is there a famous voice that would represent you? Lol

Not quite rid of the holiday gain as I have had 2 holidays in 10 weeks, was just over 72kg before the holiday and now 74kg.

Margaret, could it be the courses of antibiotics causing your tummy problems? It’s a recognised fact that antibiotics are really bad news for our gut biome. Fermented foods like live yoghurt, kefir and kimchi and pickles are good to re-grow gut flora alongside fibre rich vegetables, nuts (and fruit, although that’s something not much eaten on this way of life). Apparently, and interestingly, taking a probiotic, as opposed to the dietary option can delay the repopulation of the gut. I know your exercise compromised at the moment but movement also helps increase the gut biome as does contact with others – hugging and kissing, at least that’s an option now you don’t have c-diff. All gleaned from Dr Google.
I found the attached article from an American health web site: antibiotics can temporarily wipe out gut microbiome.

https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/antibiotics-can-temporarily-wipe-out-gut-microbiome

Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you enjoyed yourvinena visit Pootle. Genuinely have no idea the last time I went – best guess about 5yrs ago at least!
My positives for today are ….
🌼🌼 lunch with youngest DD today … lovely food and even better company
🌼🌼 treated myself to a new hairstyles and really pleased with it and the results
🌼🌼 very kind email from the funeral directors, to say they have collected Mum’s ashes and she’ll be safe with them until we can collect her

What have your positives been today?

Hi s-g good to see you and have some support along the way. Five pounds is brilliant so I’m guessing you’ve ditched your holiday gain.

I feel more positive just stating my intention on here. Sometimes the written word carries far more weight than just the ‘idea’ that you only keep to yourself!

Thanks s-g. I’m really determined to make October a ‘healthy’ month. Can’t wait to start making soups and stews again!

Hi V, I will pop in from time to time. So far I am in a success mode with a 5lb weight loss this week but might need some consoling this time next week as we have a night out to tackle on the Monday. Big hugs and good for you making an effort before a holiday.

A big welcome to anyone who wants to join us on this monthly health, fitness and weightloss journey. How quickly the months go by and we are now into October with Autumn well and truly upon us. Time of year when we crave comforting, warming foods but not to worry as soups and stews can still be healthy and hearty.

No matter whether you are an oldie or a newbie, everyone is welcome on this thread. Hope to see you all soon.

Hi all, firstly V, you didnt make a mistake by calling Margaret Wendy. Wendy 1947 is her site name. Just some of use got cheeky and started using her real name.

As for my husband I am going to put his mistakes down to what V calls cloth ears. Canaries had been mentioned but in the negative but he probably just stopped listening and the thing with where we were going, I had to pick up a prescription for my December blood tests because the doctor forgot to give it to me. Hubby hears prescription and assumes we are going to the pharmacy. There are other instances but so minor as to be just annoying. So I can forget about it for now but be clear when I speak to him.

Today is my weigh in and I am pleased to say I have lost just a smidge under 5lbs (4.95) which is one of my best weeks. I stopped the Yerba mate tea for a few days and had no headaches but going back to it today without drinking right down to the dregs, so will see how it goes. However, 5lbs from a 14lb goal is a great start.

I will set up a new thread but don’t panic if it doesn’t appear until later this evening. I have a lot to do with researching Ex pat travel insurance companies so will get around to setting up the thread later. Still not come up with a name. Optmistic October is coming to mind.

Margaret (sorry for calling you Wendy!) maybe you should ring your doctor tell him you’ve seen your results and that you’d like to chat to him about other possibilities as they have ruled out c-diffficile. No point second guessing.

Thank you Verano & I am rather confused as where to go now & am wondering if I may have IBS because I had a much shorter time of something similar a few years ago which suddenly just stopped. I have a book about IBS so will re-read it & the low FODMP guidelines which unfortunately seems to recommend low fibre as well 🤔
Thank you S-G for setting up the October thread & my husband also often has cloth ears despite having some new hearing aids 😂
Margaret xx

Tuesday is my normal weight day but as I’m away until Wednesday I’ve decided to start my reboot tomorrow without weighing. It might seem odd to start when still tempted by hotel food etc. but I thought if I wait until next Tuesday’s weigh-in I’ll already have lost the best part of a week.

So, although I can’t weigh or measure I can be mindful. So starting tomorrow I’m going to be really mindful about my carbs, well in as much as I’ll do my very best, under the circumstances, to have as few as possible.

If anybody else is looking to reboot I’d love some company for support.

Wendy so glad you can put your mind at rest, well at least partially. I would recommend that anybody having tests look at the NHS app as it may just save days or even weeks of unnecessary anxiety.

S-g oh dear. Those cruises are very different but they may just have been close to each other date wise or something. Sometimes it’s easy to make mistakes. Benefit of the doubt may be what’s needed in this instance? My husband is ‘even’ older than yours and yes he has ‘blips’ but we all get a bit ‘dizzy’ as time goes on. Don’t panic at just one sign.

Thanks for the offer to set up an October thread… so we need a ‘title’ …. Organise yourself in October…….. Overcome your cravings….. Only x weeks to Christmas !!
Sorry just can’t come up with anything good but I’m sure somebody will.

I’m starting a ‘Week at a time reboot ’ thread for myself tomorrow but would really appreciate company.

I will set up the October thread tomorrow.

The best I can think about hubby is he doesn’t listen to me – ever. Me: where can we go as we have done the Med to death and there is only one cruise and its to the CANARIES on 11th APRIL. So that is what he heard. Cruise to the canaries on 11th April, but we also had a long discussion about going back to Norway because it was places we have not been to and right to the top to see the Northern lights, so maybe he has a problem. I said are you ready and he looked at me blankly, oh yes he said we are going to the farm shop and the pharmacy, which was wrong but he made something up which would be logical but he was wrong – again, it could be he just doesn’t listen to me. Fortunately, our doctor speaks almost fluent English. I will keep an eye on him and note down things to see if there is a pattern. His dad had problems but he was a good 8 years older before he started pouring boiling water into the sugar bowl because he couldn’t remember to make tea.

Don’t worry, I will just have to be more precise but patient.

Verano thank you for suggesting I look for my test results on the NHS ap & both tests are showing as normal so I don’t have C Difficile, thank goodness but I’m no further forward knowing what is causing my continuing gut upset & still waiting to hear from my GP.
Oh gosh S-G I find it concerning hearing that your husband is making mistakes now because my Mother had Dementia & it was confirmed with GP assessment. However I am guessing that might be difficult with a French doctor if your husband doesn’t understand French fluently. I hope you can cancel the incorrect cruise & get booked into the one you want & that your husbands forgetfulness is a temporary thing 🤞🤞
Margaret xx

Oh S-G,
I would also be worried about the forgetfulness. Norway to Canary Islands is a bit extreme! I really hope it is just a blip…

I hope you are able to get to the bottom of the BG readings. 🤞

Yes please to setting up the October thread…I don’t seem to have much spare time at the moment…life has become hectic again…I really must learn to say “NO” instead of “Yes, of course I will do that to help” !!!
Besides which I will have my hands full, if we go for the puppy we are viewing tomorrow!

I cannot believe that another month has passed. I slipped badly last night…for the second time…and ate quite a lot of Galaxy chocolate! It was delicious…but my fasting BG was up this morning. so I am being ultra careful today!

K.xx

I will ask doctor for a new machine when I go for my December checkup but my BG was down to 114 this morning. I got hubby to check his non diabetic fasting glucose this morning and it was 94 so it seems the machine is working. However, I have been reading about a thing called brittle diabetes – although not a term medics use these days – it is just when you have unusually high bg for no reason. Besides the machine I was thinking my body is not used to doing tre so might be having the dawn phenonomen, also I have lost a bit of weight and my body and bg might not have caught up with each other yet. My weight results are for tomorrow.

Pootle, would you like me to set up the October thread. You have had a bit of a hard time lately so might want a break.

We spent the weekend discussing our next cruise, we are feeling a bit in limbo with the house being up for sale. All was decided and hubby did the booking online. This morning I thought I would glance through the folder he has set up (paper print out) and was shocked to see he had booked the wrong ship, dates and even the wrong country. I know none of you know him so I can say I am getting a bit worried about him, he forgets things so quickly. We had to go out this afternoon after the plumber fixed the boiler – yeah – and he couldnt remember where we were going and made something up where he thought we might go, i.e. farm shop and pharmacy but we were actually going to the doctors and the mairie (mayors office) to get some documents signed. He is 80 years old so has some excuse but to book us to the Canary Islands which is somewhere neither of us want to go, instead of 14 nights to the top of Norway to see the northern lights is a bit of a stretch. Lets hope it is just a glitch.

I will report back with my weigh in tomorrow.

Margaret do you check the NHS app for your results? I find my test results often show far quicker than results through the post etc. in fact I had a dexa scan a few months ago. The next day my results were posted. Fortunately all was fine. Still waiting for results either by post or via doctor!

S-g I guess you have to wonder about the accuracy of your machine. Is there anywhere you can go to have a test? Then use your own machine to cross check?

Can’t believe we are almost at the end of September! We have a really busy couple of months coming up. We get home Wednesday then drive to the Midlands Friday for a wedding on Saturday then home Sunday. The washing and ironing for our next, and possibly last trip, again the end of October …. just three weeks after our wedding trip. Starting to feel a bit ‘dizzy’! Anyway, I’ll join in an October thread if somebody sets one up.

Hi Lucy,
So sorry to hear you are suffering from vertigo. I really hope it eases ready for Tuesday. You deserve a holiday.

Really good that you have managed to fit into more clothes for your holiday. Enjoy your break!
Xx

Hi Pootle and everyone.
Still here. Diet has been up and down but weight consistent. Still walking every morning. 2.3 miles very quickly. Down to about half hour now.
Unfortunately I suffer on and off with vertigo and get very bad bouts. Last bad one was 2 years ago and was practically bed bound for 8 weeks and last few days have been suffering typical when off on my rebooked holiday tuesday. Only positive is meds seem to be helping this time . They dont always. Spent most of the morning in tears due to what I perceive as rhe unfairness of it all . After everything the last few years. Determined not to cancel holiday. Have cancelled 2 due to vertigo previously and 1 this year due to my dad’s death. Feeling pretty low tbh but I feel better than I did this morning.
Fingers crossed it will all be OK.
Hope you’re all doing well. Plus point got into a lot more clothes for holiday this time! Xx

😄😄😄Just decided on the spur of the moment to go to the cinema in an hour’s time… first time in about 8 years!!! Going to see the Downton Abbey film!
😄😄😄
See you later!

Thank you for your kind words, Pootle.
Sounds like you had a mammoth gardening session! Hope your puppy viewing goes well.

As part of my getting back to normality, I thought I’d drop in with some positives ….
🌻🌻 gradually getting through a ridiculously large pile of laundry, decided not to pressure myself to get everything sorted at once, so slowly does it
🌻🌻 slept well last night for the first time weeks
🌻🌻 OH successfully repaired youngest DD’s car, which has saved her a garage fee … and we all know how crazy they can be!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone and look out for those positives.

Hi Lucy,
You have been in my thoughts over the last month. I hope all is going ok for you after all the stresses of the past year. Are you a grandmother yet?
I slipped last night…had the ‘sod it’ attitude and ate 2 pieces of toast, a chocolate biscuit and a chocolate brownie! Luckily it didn’t affect my fasting sugars this morning. I will be extra careful today to keep to the diet and exercise a bit more 🤞 it doesn’t set me back too much!

Take care of yourself.

Hi all, not sure if the Yerba is doing any good but I have not had any snacks for the 3 times I have used it. One thing though is that I have been getting a headache in the afternoon. Not sure if I am drinking some of the powdery waste, maybe it should be strained.

I now have the problem of very high blood glucose. My last 4 readings have been 158, 153, 147 and today 144 (8.5, 8.2, 7.9 and 7.8). No apparent reason and not the Yerba as the first high was when hubby forgot and made me a coffee. No infection, not particularly stressed even with the house up for sale. Only reason I can think of is my machine is not working properly and needed replacing 2 years ago. Will see how it goes. I haven’t been having anything I shouldn’t, so not that. Any thoughts.

Thank you S-G & I have read up on C.Difficile & know how infectious it is but have not yet had it confirmed & I am taking precautions. My husband is fortunately feeling fine with no symptoms throughout the past three weeks that I have been feeling like this presuming it was still the after effects of taking antibiotics. I hope that my lab results will be back early next week with a definitive diagnosis.
Thank you for your concern.

Just echoing DCT. Wishing you all the very best CATHY. I hope you feel better soon, and they find out what is troubling you. x

Reported

Cathy good to hear from you. I’ve been wondering how you are doing. So sorry you are feeling unwell. I hope that your GP and hospital appointments can identify what the problem is and the most effective way to deal with it.
We’re all thinking of you and wishing you well, and I really hope that you start to feel a bit better even before the appointments. Sending love and prayers X

Hello everyone
I’ve been off the grid for a little while whilst not feeling well and am just coming on to let you know that I have an appt with a Head & Neck Surgeon at Manchester Royal on 7th October. The dental hospital declined the urgent referral and suggested it be sent on the fast track pathway to Max Fax. I have an appt to see my GP on Wednesday to inform him of my referral and to ask him to check my bloods as I don’t feel at all well. I think a two pronged approach might be a good idea. Yesterday I even lost my appetite!! A sure sign of being unwell- it never happens! Anyway, thank you for your kind thoughts everyone and let’s hope it’s something simple and treatable.
Yowser, I hope you soon start to feel better. Hopefully your blood tests will enlighten the doctor as to what is going on. This cruise hasn’t been too kind to many of us. I think we will all be needing a good holiday when we dock in December.
Hope everyone is doing what they can.
Dawn, any news on your surgery date?
Lots of love to you all. I know you will have been wondering what’s going on. I’ll keep you posted after my appt on 7th

Hi everyone, so much going on right now on the site.

Margaret, unfortunately C diff is very contagious and I dont know why you have not been given advice. You should not be cooking for your husband. Neither should you be sharing things like towels or sheets, which makes bedtime very difficult. Hopefully, you are both wearing long trouser pyjamas in bed or sleeping separately. Sorry you are still going through all this and I hope you are back to normal soon.

Pootle, a puppy or cat would be the last thing I would want due to the ties they cause. Since our local cattery closed down in France there are very few places to take them when we go away. If you can leave them for holidays either with a trusted someone or in kennels then okay. We use Trustedhousesitters and they are brilliant but it is such a pain, advertising, interviewing, welcoming, trusting strangers in our home. After 22 sits we are getting a bit fed up and there is still nowhere new opened to leave our cats. Just think about the freedoms you need and how you will continue with that.

Yerba Mate tea – it comes in 2 forms, tea leaves which you strain or as a powder (I measure 5ml into a mug). It doesnt quite dissolve completely so there is sludge in the bottom of the mug which I avoid but add some more hot water to make a second drink. As for the taste, it is quite bitter but I add a little stevia, just a touch on the end of a teaspoon. I just have the one per day after lunch and it is certainly not as nice as my usual coffee. Is it working, I dont know but last night I didnt have any snacks (cold meats) late evening and didn’t even think about it. I also dont think I had an afternoon snack which I sometimes do when my BG goes low and I get a bit shaky. Obviously one day is not enough to judge but I have told hubby no coffee from now on – he makes my coffees and teas.

I will continue with the collagen powder and decide whether to continue when I finish my current supply. New reseach is now showing that creatinine is good for older ladies. All tests were about men and going to the gym and building muscle but they have switched their research to women in general but mainly post menopause women. Not recommending but worth doing some reading as it is also supposed to be good for bone health. Going to find out more.

Well that was a lot of stuff. Still catching up with washing as the weather has been hit and miss and we dont have a drying machine. Last thing. Our boiler has gone on the blink and we have no heating (not needed yet) or hot water until the engineer comes on Monday.

Have a good weekend.

Ooh Pootle a new puppy! That will get you active! When I get back in November we will be looking to get another dog too ( we lost ours a few weeks ago) . As our lab got older the walks got slower and shorter so it will be nice to get out and about in the countryside again. My husband really needs a dog I think, gets him out walking as well.
Silly me, I only just realised there is a MM keto book! So I shall be taking that away with me. My keto is going well, I’m managing ok , weight loss isn’t evident but I have been forgetting to drink enough water so maybe that will help. The only carbs I have are from veg that’s in things so minimal. I don’t feel I’m in keto but must be…more fasting methinks. Have great weekend everyone x

Very well done Pootle & all your forward planning really paid off 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️
I think getting a puppy of even a cat is a good idea because they are so enchanting & amusing when young but of course you do have to house train them 😀 When we had to put to sleep our last cat I approached Cats Protection because we wanted to adopt two kittens a brother & sister but they inspected where we now live & said our village street which is really the high street was too busy with a bus route & cars using it as a rat run. Our neighbours have cats but we weren’t allowed to have them although of course we could have bought a kitten privately! I still miss having them although we have got used to not having a pet now & it’s of course cheaper not paying vet fees, buying food & pet care when we are on holiday.
Well my latest news is that my GP is now suspecting I have C.Difficile because of taking antibiotics for four weeks with my continuing gut problems so I am waiting for my lab results which may mean taking more antibiotics!! It never rains but it pours & I am very fed up & I am self restricting my outside activities in case I am infectious to others. My husband fortunately is unaffected even though I am back in the kitchen preparing meals. Oh well it may help me lose some weight but my poor inner biome is totally rotted up at the moment & I can’t tolerate Kefir or the pre & probiotics I am taking or any dairy!
Keep on posting everyone I do enjoy reading your updates & news 😀
Margaret xx

Good to hear all your positives.
Sunny, you have been in my thoughts and I am glad that you are getting some ‘normality’.
Verano, I hope your BBQ went well and you enjoyed your R&R.
S-G, I completely agree with ‘own bed syndrome’.
Heidi, you are right, friends are solid gold!
Arctic Fox, brilliant that you have found some positives to post!
So to today:
🪻🪻🪻We planted 20 allium bulbs and 40 narcissi this afternoon.
🌳🌳🌳 Also a Mahonia to replace a 30 year old one that had become too big.
🐾🐾🐾 Best of all, found a litter of KC registered puppies and we are going to see them on Tuesday! 🥳

I hope you all have some positives in your lives!
K xx

SG, so glad you had a wonderful visit with family. V, very happy birthday to your GD, Hooe she had a lively day.

My positives right now are …
🌸🌸 Mum’s funeral went well yesterday, was a lovely farewell and our talented DiL did a wonderful job of creating a beautiful floral tribute
🌸🌸 Dad has decided he wants to start his new chapter next week, so I am back home with no set date to return to his home at present
🌸🌸 looking forward to some ‘normality’ in the coming days.

Hope you are all enjoying some positives too.

Evening all,
It has taken me the last few days to recover from my hectic week. All went brilliantly. I managed all the physical stuff and my step counter says I walked over 50 miles in 5 days!! 12- hour days except one that was 5.30am to 9.30pm! 😴💤
I was able to keep on track with low carb (with only 2 slips) all week. I ate the cooked breakfast (bacon, sausage, egg and mushrooms) and prepared my own packed lunch in the hotel room until Friday. A friend refroze the numerous cold blocks that I had with me, so I was able to keep the basics fresh. Using tinned fish, fresh avocado, broccoli bread, mayonnaise, cheese and Greek yoghurt along with nuts as a snack!
Most evenings I managed to find a salad with either fish or steak.
So to results… my weight has stayed the same 😄😄
Fasting BG was 5.2 or 5.3 all week! 😄😄
When I got home I had a very upsetting arrival… no 4 legged greeting… etc… Fasting BG the next day was 5.8 🤔 (and I did keep to the diet)
It has settled again and the good news is;- OH and I had the discussion on Tuesday.. “what do we do about a dog”. After the “it will probably outlive me” “should we go for a rescue” “do we want a smaller breed” etc. We are going to see a Kennel Club registered puppy next week! 😉 😄
The house is just too empty without one!
So trying to remember all the puppy stuff.. 😂
I have read most of your posts whilst I have been away… good to hear from you all. Verano, Sunshine-girl, Antigone, Tulip, Arctic Fox, Shetland Lace and Margaret. Thinking positive thoughts to you all. K xx

So my positives …..

👧🎂🍨 Granddaughter’s birthday today …. time flies!
🍗🥗🍤 BBQ dinner tonight … hopefully low carb!
☀️🧘🏻‍♀️🏖️ Lots of rest and relaxation!

Hope you have some positives too.

S-g I’ll be interested to see how the Yerba mate helps. What does it taste like?
I’ve been taking a collagen supplement for the last 6 or 8 weeks and I think it’s helped my skin. It could just be wishful thinking though! I do have good skin for my age. I keep my face out of this sun and use moisturisers but I think it’s probably due to genetics more than anything else!

Really enjoying the weather here which is probably around mid 20’s which is lovely but have to say my ‘diet’ has been anything but ‘Mediterranean’! Anyway, in a strange way, I’m looking forward to being home and eating my ‘normal’ diet again.

Hope everyone is well.

Back on Yerba Mate tea to see if it really can reduce night time cravings or hunger. Hubby forgot yesterday and made me a coffee after lunch. So that will be one Yerba after lunch – although there is always a lot of powder in the bottom of the cup so I add another half a cup of water to use it up. Will let you know how it makes me feel. I bought mine on line and it was quite expensive including the postage so if it seems to be working I will try to buy in the UK when we are next over.

I also take collagen powder in my green tea in the mornings but have doubts that it does any good. Does anyone have any information.

Back from a lovely visit with family, my positives are:-

Love my family
Nice to be back in my own bed and on my own time
Thank you Verano for trying to keep the site scam free – they come thick and fast
