Licking the Lid of Life....my esoteric diary

[lickthelid]

It's the Apple Watch. I wish it did tell me when not to eat!! It syncs with mfp though so I can see steps and kcal left and so on so that's a bonus. I'm doing a hybrid of SW and MFP now. Mainly to keep a lid on portions now that little one is weaning!! I need a less jazzy strap though!!

Very swish watch! I'm banned from anymore Apple products in the house, we have 2 iPhones and 3 iPads not all mine I hasten to add!
Hope your having a good week, I'm babysitting my poorly puss cat today, he had some very sensitive items removed yesterday and is feeling a bit sorry for himself, I am currently typing this with him draped round my neck! xx

 

[lickthelid]

Haha we are in the apple trap too. 2 iPads, 4 iPhones and now the watch. Terrible.

I hope your cat doesn't miss his essentials too much for too long! Poor mog

Vlog reveal of my first Abel & Cole veg box

 

[Cavegirl21]

@lickthelid Did you make anything interesting with the veg?

 

[lickthelid]

Not yet but I had a couple of the mushrooms at breakfast and our main meal was lunch today so we had the new potatoes and carrots. Both were lovely and you can really taste the difference, even compared to fresh from the supermarket. I know why people grow their own!!

Veg box sounds good @lickthelid hope it helps keep you on track!
I like the idea of it- I imagine it pushes you to make new/interesting things and eat fruits you wouldn't normally pick.
I'm in the process of growing my own tomatoes and totally agree that you can taste the difference!

 

[Cavegirl21]

You can't beat fresh veg straight from the garden. I've got some tomatoes and courgettes growing this year. Just to see how I get on with it.I'm going to plan over Winter what to grow in pots next year.

 

[lickthelid]

Ahh I'm the odd one out. Nothing growing here...apart from the kids haha.

I made something different from the box. Here you go.....

 

[lickthelid]

Oooh and I lost 5lb this week!!!

I'm so happy!

 

[Poppet12]

What a brilliant loss! Very well deserved too Well done Sam!
Poached eggs for lunch for me- that looked yum!

Thanks @RosiePops i won't pretend it wasn't hard but I found MFP helped distract me a bit and kept me more accountable. It's the one downside to slimming world. The concept of unlimited free food. I try to practise the sensible eat until satisfied not bursting but sometimes I slip and I couldn't even remember what a portion actually looked like!!!

 

[lickthelid]

I treated myself to this today as a "well done me"
I love the hairy bikers and their diet books are really good and can be adapted really easily for slimming world.

 

[Happy Holidays]

Wow 5lbs is amazing, well done. And love you're treated yourself to a cook book!

 

[lickthelid]

Thanks @Happy Holidays I love a good cook book. It's like food porn. When it's a low fat one so much the better as I feel less bad for dribbling.

Hi just catching up what mfp? How much did your box cost you with delivery? 5lb off that's great

 

[lickthelid]

Thanks @Sexyshell135

MFP is t'lingo for my fitness pal. It's a food and exercise tracking app

The first box was around £10 I think with delivery but that's half price. Next weeks is £20! but the 4th is half price again I don't think I'll carry it on forever. Not unless I want to take out a loan!

 

[Trefoil]

Well done on the 5lbs off!
That's wonderful!!!!

Hope that you're having a fab day!
