Autumn forage

 

The weather has turned to autumn for sure. A lovely walk through the trees at Aden Country Park with cool sunshine and not a breathe of wind. Picking a (poo) bag full of blackberries with a dog running around reminding me how good this season is. I had enough for 4 breakfasts with natural yogurt and granola. I tried Bella with one but she spat it out in disgust.

My tummy can definitely fit more in that it used to. Not that I'm eating a lot mind you but just a bit more. However, my weight has never been so stable. 10 stone 10lbs is absolutely my natural set point. It's remained this for so many months now, I'd even guess at most of this year. Only holidays adjusting it a little, but then going back again very quickly. Just like a normal person, in my opinion. I ain't going to try to fight it. If I now deliberately tried to lose weight that would be going 'on a diet'. Trying to restrict how much I eat (and what I eat) only for my body to rebel and fight to return to my set/natural weight. Then we have the yo-yo followed by my set weight getting confused and weight gain will commence. If I stay at this weight, eating what I eat, I will be eternally happy. I'm not skinny (never, ever been my goal) and perhaps not slim but I'm thin for me and more importantly I'm ecstatic. 

This week I made some Viennese biscuits, they were eaten by Mark and Isaac before I could count them. I made a tarragon chicken recipe for the first time ever, which was good. And with the rest of the chicken and creme fraiche I also made a chicken and mushroom stroganoff. It was so delicious! Though Isaac turned his nose up lol. 

On top of a busy week at work that's me! I hope you've all had a lovely week. Enjoy this weekend and I'll see you soon. Thank you for continuing to read my witterings. If you didn't read, I wouldn't write. 

I read this on Facebook this week, me and Mark to a tee -

Partner 1 - That's the boarding cards, passports and rental car details. 

Partner 2 - Where are we going again? 

I shall let you guess who is who (like that would be hard to figure out lol).
