I like your cooking schedule! I would love to know what the boys cook! Kate, my weight's been up and down, up and down: I have not lost much, but I know from previous attempts at No S that this is normal - and that the ups do even out and that the lows become the new highs. Give it time - up to May ...

Thanks, Kate and Linda! Yesterday was a green No-S day - despite the fact that I had bought low-fat yoghurt instead of the normal full-cream for my breakfast smoothie. (Yoghurt is about the only thing that I make myself eat - I don't like the taste of milk and only have a tiny amount in my coffee - ...

Back again! With all that's been happening, it feels as if my 'real-world' 2016 only started on Monday. The five-day visit morphed into a random road trip - no complaints from me!

Thanks, eschano! Kate, our homes are generally geared to be cool in summer - but cool is a relative concept. We about 10 mm of rain in total, which cooled things down dramatically. Still bone-dry and extremely hot elsewhere, though. Yesterday was green for NoS and SG, red for my walk, which means an...

Giada in 2016
A very belated Merry Merry and Happy Happy to all! Christmas with the family was lovely - it was a talk-fest, laugh-fest, swim-fest and yes, of course, an eat-and-drink-fest (the eating and drinking was relatively contained, however). Since then, I've been struggling to get back into the real world ...

If the non-wild S days happened because that's what you wanted (or because there was nothing really S-worthy) I think it's quite sustainable. It's when we force ourselves to forego esses as a form of punishment, or because we want to lose faster - well, that would have me worried. (And yay on the lo...
