You must all know by now that I am partial to a Smartie or ten. And if you know me well you'll know I love the orange ones! In 1976 (I was 7 years old) I wrote to Rowntrees (the then manufacturers of this confectionery) and suggested they sell tubes of just the orange ones - and over 40 years later they have finally done it. I think I need compensating for such a great idea. £5000 will be fine thank you. BTW in 1976 I would have been happy getting a tube of orange Smarties, but that's inflation!! And you know what? 40 years ago they didn't even bother to reply to my letter. I was devastated. So rude!
I had a check up with the hypertension clinic, after a month on my new meds. And yay, my blood pressure was down to 134/86! Not sure how good that is? But I know it's a lot better than it was. Nurse Ros was very happy. Whoop!
So you'll all be dying to know how I did last week 😉 well I maintained. Not great but I can live with it. PMT and all those good things! But I've decided to go back to not divulging my weekly weight progress. When I start blogging up a bit, down a bit, it seems to be up a bit more often than down. However I am going to tell you when I've lost my next stone. You'll just have to stick with me.
Of course it's that time of year again - weight gain summer! All the holidays (I refuse to mind my food intake on holiday), birthdays (18th and my own - I'm not 18 lol), anniversaries (Golden & my own - I've not been married 50 years lol), and weekends away. All the excuses to enjoy the prosecco and fine food. Ooh it's a tough life for a dieter!
A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands!
Don't tell anyone but I can't stop eating chocolate this week! I think I have a real problem. I'm a high functioning chocoholic. The Aztecs have a lot to answer for!!
