So, alas, there has been no weight loss this week. My own fault. Started with an Indian takeaway, that lasted for 3 meals! Delicious. More chocolate than usual - I'm blaming PMT. Drinking too much (see below).
Whoop! Finished the bathroom. I probably could have done it in a couple of days but it was much more fun stretching it over about 5 weeks! But I'm happy it's finished and I'm happy with result. And, of course, I'm loving having a bath again!
Lockdown differences continued...
9. I saw my mum just before lockdown started and before I left I showed her how to video call on what's app. I have since spoken to her via video every single day. So that's about 105 calls. This is twice as many telephone calls we would normally exchange in a whole year! The funny thing is we have nothing new to say each day. We mostly talk about the weather, grocery shopping and daily exercise! It's groundhog day lol.
10. In spite of losing weight I'm drinking more. And not just a glass of wine (which is often a bottle) or a g&t. Wednesday night out was Sloe Gin Fizz - sloe gin, gin, sugar syrup, lemon juice, soda water or prosecco (obvs we picked prosecco). It was delicious but very alcoholic. Then Thursday night it was White Russians - vodka, kahlua/Tia Maria, double cream. This is so good but not only very alcoholic it's full of calories. Sometimes I'm just so naughty!
11. Watching box sets. I normally just watch stuff on the telly but there's been a lot of repeats on recently so I've been on the downloads. The best I've seen - Staged with David Tennant and Michael Sheen on iPlayer. Only 15 mins x6 but so so funny! Filmed in their own homes with their wives. Also on iPlayer is all 4 series of Cardinal. This is a Canadian murder/cop drama. I binged all 4 series in less than a week. Brilliant!! Loved it. And if you have Amazon Prime try Upload. Dead people are sent to a virtual reality to live like they are still alive. It's weird but good, and clever.
12. Hair. I've cut my fringe a few times, which was ok but dying the grey is something else. I have too much hair to colour it all so I just do the roots, but they always end up a different colour to the rest. I'm multi tonal lol.
13. Cleaning. Say no more.
Things that are the same during lockdown -
Grass still grows, dog needs walking, bills still need paying, PMT giving me cramps and making me grumpy, we still love and lose, we still smile and cry, and we still don't win the lottery!
The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot.
