At the beginning of this month, our youngest daughter was married, after the longest engagement in history. We were all thrilled to celebrate her special day AND of course there was CAKE. The groom made me my very own gluten free wedding cake which was so delicious. Also the weekend we were visiting our family it was Bears birthday, so more CAKE of course.
I decided once we returned home, especially after I went down Down DOWN with my back, I had to do something to get rid of the rest of this weight. Its so embarrassing when something happens and my sweet Bear tries to help pick me up. He is a very light weight guy, so lifting up an elephant like me is impossible, to say the least.
Therefore I am rejoining all you lovely friends on your FFF challenge, as I need the motivation and a swift kick up the tush if I fall off the wagon again.
I am pleased to report though that I have managed to return to my water exercises, which I missed so much. Not only the exercising but the socialising, I turned into a hermit during my recovery. My muscles seemed to weaken also.
During the past week I have managed two sessions at the pool and 5 days out of 7 bike rides on my trainer.
I must admit I feel a whole lot better in myself exercising once again and not being a couch potato. Also there has not been one crumb of CAKE pass my lips this week. YAY!
Another thing, I have to start decluttering again as the house is like a pigsty at the moment. Is there something else as I can't remember? Please jog my memory if there happens to be another thing I am supposed to be doing.
Happy FFF #39

I’m so glad you’re feeling up to resuming your exercises, Lindy. The social activity is a boost to your wellbeing too.
ReplyDeleteI’ve enjoyed following the wedding photos on Fb; you all looked as though you were having a whale of a time.

Thanks Rosie, I agree the social side helps heaps.
DeleteOh yes we all thoroughly enjoyed the wedding. It was a perfect day in every way.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy, it's so wonderful to see you post and I'm so happy you are feeling better and up to exercising and joining us again! Sounds like you have had a great week and are off to a good start :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter and her new husband and wishing Bear a belated Happy Birthday:)

Thank you so much Roz, I will pass on your good wishes to everyone concerned.
DeleteI am feeling better in myself exercising again. I really missed it and this little group.
Hugs Lindy xx
It seems I can always come up with a reason to skip my exercising, Lindy. But I know how good I feel when I am doing it regularly. Keep up the good work. And discourage your Bear from baking too much!

Pity we don't live closer Ella as we could exercise together. Once I get going I really enjoy it and keep it up for as long as I can.
DeleteYes I am only having one treat a week on Sundays from now on. NO MORE CAKES!

Welcome back Lindy,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear that you are recovered enough to begin FFF again and no I don't think you have forgotten anything. All I ever aspired to was losing the spare tyre around my middle and with some hard work and a sensible diet I seem to be going in the right direction.
As for the longest engagement in history; Mumski and I were engaged for 27 years before we finally tied the knot much to the relief of my parents who had very strong feelings about "living in sin"
Wow Don you take the prize then for the longest engagement. We thought our daughters was long at 12 years.
DeleteI'm with you wanting to lose the spare tyre but its so hard to budge. Seems to be the last place to go.
Hugs Lindy xx
Good for you! I think the older we get the more difficult it is to shed those pounds- and older happens too damn quick if you ask me! I was doing well ( not part of FFF) until my social season started in Sept. I am hoping I can wrap my head around it by Nov 1st to attempt again.
ReplyDeleteAs for a pigsty? We are still between seasons, though I have to admit seems like winter is fast approaching, so I stand around and look at clothes I have no place for ( Should they go into storage? Oh here's a summer dress I missed for storage? Which storage should they go into- easy access in case we get an early warm up --pfft yeah right! Or the one for the heat of the summer!). I love my little house but sometimes it does feel like a shoebox. One thing out of place and BOOM it looks like a disaster!
Keep at it Lindy!

Tell me about it Willie, time flies and we age so fast. Remember when I was little I always looked forward to being another year older. Now I wish it would reverse. LOL!
DeleteI usually go through my clothes at the end of the season and send most to the op shop. Fashions change and nicer things hit the shops. A bit of retail therapy is wonderful for the soul.
You'll get there one day with everything sorted and back on track. Good luck!
Hugs Lindy xx
WELCOME BACK!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fondles, its so good to be back.
DeleteHugs Lindy xx
Way to go Lindy! Glad you are back in the swim of things and staying away from all that CAKE! LOL I've got to get off my tush as well. Let's push each other along and maybe we can get Fondles to start over with FFF1. :)
ReplyDeleteAmy
Hahaha maybe we'll do a FFF-second edition come January.
DeleteGood idea Amy, we can do this. You go girl!
DeleteA continuation would be good next year.
Hugs Lindy xx
Hi Lindy! So glad that you are feeling better! Sounds like you are doing great with the FFF! I should join you all. My activities all include sitting- ie. While weaving, knitting, etc. I need to get more regular exercise in!! Working on that!
ReplyDeleteI too have enjoyed seeing your wedding photos! Family is awesome! Keep up the great work! Many hugs,
❤️Katie xoxo
