Day 52. I had this screenshot I was going to post as I thought it was funny and true. But after 3 busy day shifts I completely forgot to post it! So it’s in retrospect from yesterday. Social media generally annoys me. I hate and don’t have snapshite. Don’t like Twitter. Tolerate Facebook only for messaging but I do obviously like Instagram!

Lovely day to restart. Sun is shining as I sat and wrote my menu for the week. This will be Mike and I doing round 2 of the fast 800 seriously. We both have never quite stopped it for meal times but have ventured far enough away that the weight is creeping back on. Today is day 1 of our second round of 12 weeks. We both lost 2 stone last time though mike has less to loose I would love another 2 stone off to bring me bang in the middle of my healthy weight for my height. As before we will be following the fast 800 diet and are planning the first week to be 800 calories a day as a kick start. After that we will go to more a 5:2 diet where we only do 800 calories twice a week while following a healthy Mediterranean diet other days. Because I have more to loose I will try to do more 800 days. I am strangely looking forward to the restart. Using the original book for week 1. #52dieting #52diet #fast800diet #fast800 #timerestrictedeating #intermittenfasting

Day 41 of my pic a day challenge. I feel so much better when I drink plenty and i only normally drink coffee. However I can drink plenty of water or squash if I have it in a fancy water bottle. I do drink about 2-3 of these on a working shift but at home I fail so today sees me aim for 2 of water. I love my Aladdin bottles @aladdineurope

Day 40 of my pic a day challenge. This is a view I won’t be seeing for over a week as I am on holiday. It’s the long corridor down in the dungeons of the hospital that leads to the locker room. I only ever find it freaky in the middle of the night when you know you are the only one down there...... or are you?

Day 36 of my pic a day challenge. Fancied soup but I could not decide what to make so I made 2. In the soup maker on the left is lentil and bacon, Traditional warming and hearty.

Day 34 of my pic a day challenge. New work shoes. This is my 3rd pair of these Fitflop gogh pro shoes. I find them the best for ward work. They are leather and seem to be perfect for me. They are pricey but I always like decent shoes and for wearing 35+ hours a week I think my feet deserve it.

Day 33 of my pic a day challenge. Came home after a busy day to find one of my daffodils 🌼 had opened. Such a cheery wee flower that brings all the joy or spring. One daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, then one is too few. ... William Wordsworth
