FFF #44

 Been running to catch up with the FFF train this week. Well not really, more like crawling like a sloth. LOL! Only accomplished my steps and have done a bit of decluttering.

I need help though please?  I had a medical appointment for some test results this week. Lucky me has managed to add another autoimmune disease to my box of tricks. Anyway the doctor told me I need to lose weight and eat healthily.  

Bear was in the surgery with me and we both tried telling the doctor we already do eat a healthy diet. So this is where I need help...….I am still doing the 16/8 fasting as I find it works for me.
My daily diet Monday to Saturday consists of brunch which is rice porridge, yoghurt with fruit. Then for dinner we alternate between red meat and chicken grilled with either steamed or roast vegetables. I very rarely eat between meals, so I can't cut anything out like biscuits, cake or lollies. 

Yes ok I do cheat on the odd occasion eating cake but not as often as I would like.

Sundays my brunch is usually either waffles, pancakes or scones which Bear makes for me. Also we have a roast for dinner. Apart from skipping my Sunday treat I can't see how I can eat any more healthier than what I already am.

What would you all suggest to do please?
Also I am unable to exercise properly at the moment due to this new ailment. Oh the joys of growing old!

Hope you have all had a good week.

Ladies and Gentlemen of THE LAND lend me your ears.

Today in our Herald/Sun newspaper is an interesting article where a husband is asking if his wife is cheating on him.

Question:  My wife and I have been married for 12 years. Recently she has been wanting to try new things, such as sex toys and new positions. I've heard this can be a sign someone is having an affair - should I be worried?

The so called sexpert answered that this could be correct. LOL! That because you ask your partner to experiment you must be cheating. Pffft! I will try copying this article but not sure if you can read it properly.

So does this make all of us guilty of cheating on our partners because we went to our husbands/wives to ask for a bit of  kink to spice up our marriage. Bear and I had a good laugh about this article and couldn't believe that a bit of spice in the bedroom would make someone think you were cheating on them.

Maybe she was tired of the missionary position, or had just read FSoG like a lot of us did. Or you might just bore her buster. 

Then the sexpert goes on to say its perfectly normal to want to experiment. Make up your mind woman, which side are you taking!

What do you all think about this bit of rot?

FFF #43

Another week come and gone with nothing significant to report from down under.  We have been out and about most days, so I managed my steps, also did a bit of decluttering.

Would you believe on Monday it was 38c/110.4f in my part of the woods. We had to dust off our summer clothes.  Since then it has only topped 14c/57.2f with snow in parts of Victoria.  

10cm snow overnight at Falls Creek, Victoria

Snow today in Tasmania

Mother nature is so hormonal as its seven days to the start of summer here. Where, oh where is the nice weather?????? Back to winter clothes again, how silly! Maybe we might have a white Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends who celebrate it in the USA. Hope you all had a lovely day with family and friends.

Have  a wonderful weekend.

LOVE OUR LURKERS DAY 2

Still waiting for all my silent readers to come out and play. I saw a fabulous idea on The Continued Journey asking for everyone to say what part of the world you come from. You don't need to say your actual address, just a rough locality. I know most of my blogger friends are from the USA, a few from Canada, a  bunch from England and one from New Zealand. Where are you from? 

I'm from Victoria, Australia and would really love to hear from other Aussies. You never know we might be neighbours or live close enough to meet for a chat over a cup of tea.

So come on time to fess up that you have been lurking, I'm not going to judge you by your beliefs. Drop me a comment about anything, or just say G'day mate!

LOVE OUR LURKERS DAYS 13

Welcome!  Whether you are a regular reader, leaving comments on my posts or an occasional visitor, thank you for dropping by.

I was a lurker many years ago, too shy to  visit regularly, never dreamt about leaving a comment.

Then one year I  hopped around visiting everyone's posts on LOL day, leaving comments here and there. Still didn't feel comfortable though as I thought no one would want to hear from me.  A few actually said to me I should start my own blog to which I replied Bear would never let me. Yet here we are down the road, I've  joined the team. They are all a fabulous bunch of like minded people, everyone is so nice, giving great advice if you need it, encouraging you with kind words when you are down.

Through blogging I have made so many lovely friends, we also communicate via email or face book.

Just wish the world was smaller so we could visit each other, would be so nice to chat over a cup of tea and cake. 

So if you too are shy just remember we were all in your shoes at one stage. Today is your chance to say HELLO to us all. We will make you very welcome and hope you will also find the courage to join us with your own blog one day. No one is going to judge you by your beliefs or the way you and your partner practice TTWD/DD or what ever name you call yours. There are no rules to this way of living, we all do it our own way.

Please do leave a comment or ask me a question if you like. I'll try my best to answer it. If you prefer to make contact via email rather than here, let me know we can soon arrange that. what are you waiting for, there is nothing to lose and you never know you might make a bunch of friends if you step out of the shadows. You can remain anonymous, use a pseudonym or whatever you feel comfortable doing.

If you have read this far, thank you once again for visiting. Hermione has  added a list of participants  so you can go blog hopping. I tried to copy and paste to the bottom here but it didn't work.

FFF #42

Oh dear this week has been a huge fail for me which I thought it would with all the functions I have attended. Things have gone down, Down, DOWN.  No exercising what.... so.... ever...….oh except for heaps of walking, well that's exercise right!

Heaps of functions equals heaps of food.  One in particular was a cooking demonstration where we were divided into groups to actually do the cooking. This was so much fun as I learnt a few new things. after this we all sampled everyone's cooking. YUM!

So all in all my FFF this week is fail fail fail!

LOVE OUR LURKERS DAY 13

Reposting to see if this shows up as a few friends have told me it didn't.

FFF #41

As Willy said  last week  with reading everyone's FFF reports it makes the time go by so fast and I have to agree totally.  We have a few routines in our house which we stick to like washing the towels on Thursday nights. (Yes I know boring)  My point is I turned to Bear this Thursday night and said I can't believe its towel night again, only feels like we did them.  Even our 16 year old granddaughter is saying time is flying, so its not just us oldies.

This week I only managed one water exercise due to it being a public holiday on the other one. I did manage to fit heaps of steps in though walking around the markets and going to the street parade. Also I made up for the day off the water exercises by fitting in an extra bike ride. So 6/7 days on the bike.  I am feeling so much better with  including riding again, as my legs have regained the strength I lost when I wasn't allowed to exercise.

As far as sticking to a healthy eating plan this week, its out the window. Bear stayed home whilst I went to the market, so I bought him a surprise of a bucket of honey. 

Then as I was leaving I noticed a caravan selling fairy floss. Oh my goodness, I am a big kid at heart,  so  can never go past anywhere they sell fairy floss. As Bear said when I showed him my bucket its a fair compromise. LOL!

Wednesday I went out with my photography group to celebrate a friends special -0 birthday.  We met in a nice café for lunch which was really delicious, then went to our botanical gardens for a walk to take photos.  The downfall was, after this we went to another café to have afternoon tea. Oops! I had the best lemon meringue pie I have had in ages. Yum!

So two failures this week with my fairy floss and cake. This coming week I also have a few functions to attend, so not holding my breath on eating healthy again. Never mind a slip up every now and again is alright in my books.

Hope everyone else did well on their FFF for the week. See you again next week for both FFF and LOL days.

Have a good weekend. 

Hugs Lindy xx

Are you ready for LOL days?

Love our lurkers day is coming up shortly. We all have so much fun during these two days and hope to draw our  lurkers out to say hello.  I am still hoping to meet some Aussies, so come on get ready to visit all the bloggers on these designated days to say hello, don't be shy. We love to meet our readers.

Hermione will have further  details when the day is closer.

FFF #40

 For all those who have stuck with FFF for the past 40 weeks, CONGRATULATIONS! You must all be feeling so much better in yourselves.

This week has gone so fast, I feel like I blinked and its Friday again. I managed to do my bike ride 5/7 days. 

Only made it to water exercises for half  a session though, as I had to leave the one session early as something felt off.


Decluttered in the garage this week as we are waiting on the delivery of a new car shortly. 

That's a good incentive for us both to organise the garage so it fits in, as its bigger than our current car.

I have managed to not let one crumb of cake pass my lips. YAY!  How did you go Fondles and Roz, hope you both avoided the temptation to eat chips and sweets. On Sunday Bear did make me a treat of raspberry and white chocolate scones. 

I only had one. LOL!

We have had heaps of visitors of the four pawed fur variety in our garden and around our area this week. This little girl was in our back tree.

So we had to bring the dogs inside so she could escape.

Then her mate visited the front tree looking for her.
Whilst out shopping today Bear spotted a Mumma and baby crossing the road.

We pulled over quickly, out with the cameras and took heaps of photos. 

This weekend is a long, long one here. Its Melbourne Cup Day Tuesday and most people seem to take Monday off as well. 

Also its Upwelling Festival weekend, so we have a street parade, carnival and market happening on the foreshore. Just hope the weather is nice, as today has been so windy we almost got blown away. 

Fingers crossed I'm not tempted with any cake during these celebrations. Hope everyone else has had a wonderful week. Enjoy your weekend!
