Just 'bumping' this for @Patchworkperson as I think she'd fit right in with us!

Knock, knock, here I am. I'm 57 but don't mind being the young whipper snapper. I'll make the tea too.

Ah, we do have some young whipper snappers, here, Geri. One is even as young as mid 50's @rawkaren.

Tea maker is always welcome, but don't let everyone put upon you!

Hi patchwork person and welcome to this mad bunch, enjoy everything here and good luck,

I think I joined right at the beginning and I'm only 50, but I forgot to keep popping in. Oops, naughty me.

Hi patchwork, I am hanging out for a cuppa right now

For the last month or so I've been dipping my toes into home-based exercises - push-ups, squats, that sort of thing. There are quite a few websites out there which extol the virtues of intermittent fasting and exercise, more specifically, weight-training. Leangains and Mark's Daily Apple are two of these.

In the light of this, I asked for a 3kg kettlebell for Christmas, and, for the first time in my life, I've begun lifting weights!

I'll report back on how it goes.

On a different note I made my first split pea soup in about 5 years - can't believe just how tasty it is. I'll be having this weekly from now on:

Hi Patchwork from me. These guys are great which is why I pop in from time to time . Good luck

Hi all SSS members I'm willingly fasting today yesterday ended up a total disaster/bingeing day my first real one in 8months!!!!! So in for a good one today, my OH will be around which makes it harder because he wants lunch so will probably make it 16:8. Family visited yesterday so got rid of most of the remaining quiche+pork pie + a box of chocks.
I will have to insist on no chock prezzies in the future because the temptation is far to much but I'm rationing them for know
just having 2 at night ( excluding last night).
My walking was supposed to be restarted today but it's very wet+windy and I'm not bothering now
For those of you trying a fast today best of luck and remember there's no such thing as a failed fast just a postponed one.

Hi dear Sassy friends,

My Fast day is nearly over, and I managed quite well with just coffee, tea and an apple until the evening meal tonight of BBQ steak and mixed salad so I am very pleased with myself.

Welcome Patchwork!

Forget yesterday Sue and it's great that you got rid of all the 'naughty' food, that is what I have been doing, into the bin or into my OH!! Have a great day, you can do it Sue.

We are having friends over tomorrow evening for a NYE - meal at this stage Prawn and cheese Log for entre, Pork and Roast Vegetables and Strawberry Flan for dessert.

I will definitely be doing 16/8 until I fast again on Thursday.

Happy Fasting everybody - one day at a time.

cheers Maggie

That sounds fab,@Maggiee what time do you want me?

8pm will be fine - you can bring the bubbly please?

Thanks @Maggiee yes we all have days like that so put it behind me + forget is best.
