Yes, lucky you @Sue.Q, could do with some of that sun over here today. Glad you're enjoying your holiday and don't forget to treat yourself to some nice little Greek number!

@callyanna Don't think hubby would like it if I too a little Greek number. Lol seen a few though
Thanks for popping in to keep the duo company our unique fivesome has been reduced to the duo because I'm not fasting at all this week with an open 10-12hr window.
Returned early from our walk to next resort for lunch its so very hot!! Will catch you all soon

@Sue.Q your award must have gone to Grete with you. Think I need a talking too, have not managed a fluid fast this week. Still holding but will have to schedule one soon. Our Mothers Day here is Oz tomorrow so think might have to pass for another day

Nite all

Hi all, @sue.q, @daydreamer21, @gillymary and @jo05

Back last night from Singapore, what a trip! I hadn't really been OS ( if you don't count 4 days in Auckland for a conference!) in 4 years, and how amazing travelling is! Learnt heaps both about myself and my psychology studies and Anaesthetics, as well as cultures and last but not least, food! Still managed to fast reasonably frequently, but omg, 3 words only, Singaporean chilli crab!! And a fair bit of exercise, mostly from walking. Haven't weighed myself yet, but feeling pretty positive, we'll see. Off for a bike ride today, sooooo looking forward to it! Cool fresh outdoors, yum!!

Hope you're enjoying your holiday, Sue! And a great day for gardening, gillymary, can't wait to get into mine!

Oh @jools7 so lovely to have you back, you will have to tell us more. @Sue.Q is now travelling over on Crete right now, @daydreamer21 and I were keeping home fires burning.

Sound wonderful your trip jools, think I will have to get myself travelling again soon getting itchy feet.

Hi buddies @gillymary@daydreamer21
Welcome back @Jools7 @Jo05
Glad all went well for you Jools sounds as if everything was very exciting for you with all your learning etc
On my last 2 days here in the hot Greek sunshine gillymary and eating + drinking far to much will be fasting willingly on my return were just looking for today's walk but its very hot again and well need a little shelter.
Will catch up when I can if not will be back home Wednesday
OH gillymary my awards went missing before I left moogie is on the case along with @juliannamissing lovely photos

@TML13 I was trying to go lowish carbs before I came here
The lovely Cretan desserts are carb free aren't they?. Lol

@Sue.QI am with you no real fasting accomplished the past week. I will get back on track with you on your return, fasting buddie

Am doing book work so must dash

Sue, there is a Greek saying that goes "a person who is unwell and a person who is on the road has no sin".
Years ago I paraphrased it and it goes "a person who is unwell and a person who is on the road has no calories". I know it doesn't make sense in English but in Greek it means that if you eat away from home, the food will have no calories. So there!

Hi @Sue.Q make the most of your last two precious days of yr hollybobs x
Was sorry to hear over on today's fast that your little bud Dreamy is laid up with a bad back but still pushing on with a fast day.. @daydreamer21 take those tablets if you need to even if it means having to eat something small with them.Better than being in pain.
Sue i just finished a 4:3 - mon/ thurs / sun ..and fasting today so its my first back to back! x
Ps i agree with@TML13 about no calories..also no cals in food you pinch from someone else's plate! xx

I really hope that one day that whole carb-hunt will be proved an urban myth. I hate it to see people not eating pasta daily, LOL!

I must admit @TML13i hope that too ..i do love my carbs so much! X

So do I! My mum confessed the other day that when she expects me to visit she sends my dad to the super market to get extra grated cheese because she knows that she will ask me what I want for dinner and I will say "pasta". And when I eat pasta, it looks like mount Everest. There's a mountain of pasta and then lots of snow on it (cheese).

Makes perfect sense to me .@TML13 last night meal I enjoyed pasta + rice + potatoes. Lol
but have kept off bread + cereal
And just about to have our first + last lunch been out walking every day with a stop for a beer + gyros
and these Cretan desserts are wonderful thankfully just about to leave behind
Holidays are for enjoying and that we've done deffo
Payback time tomorrow with a lie in + fastday.
Bye for now all catch you tomorrow thanks for the visitors and hope you're OK Sammy
@Silverdarling I'm Fflyying back tonight. Lol x

f-f-f-fly well @Sue.Q

@daydreamer21 hope you back improves fast, what a nuisance for you ouch! Take good care there

@jools7 hope no significant jet lag and you enjoyed your ride and the scales are kind

@TML13 lovely to see you, pasta oh dear I have substituted shaved zucchini instead of pasta with my spaghetti Bolognese though still lots of cheese and it is so yummy.

Oh dear, courgettes instead of pasta... sounds like punishment to me!

Yesterday, my friends and I came up with the best revenge food: Cauliflower gratin with okra and sour milk. Eeeeeek...

Have a safe flight back home, Sue! Greece was proud to have you and will certainly miss you. Come back soon!!!
