Someone is coming at 7pm from Olio but I've popped my last two pills of the day so that I can shut down and head straight on up to beddy-byes when it's all gone... I just hope I stay awake until they get here lol

Today's (20th February 2026) lunch photo

Very late getting my lunch photo up 'cos I completely forgot until I was part way through my laps!


Today's lunch was the last two hash browns and approx 10g of a Vegan Mayo washed down with a 330ml can of a sparkling Passion[fruit] pop.  I was going to have butternut squash chunks with it, but I need to toss them in an air fryer spray first and I haven't got anything I can use for that, so I just had the hash browns instead.


Here's today's lunch photo:


Another decision made...

...I'm not gonna do my laps, sit-ups or crunches tomorrow and if I have a bath, it'll be in the afternoon rather than first thing 'cos I've got a delivery due tomorrow between 7am and 1pm... I can guarantee it'd come during my bath if I had the bath first thing lol.


It'll still be an early breakfast, but it could, potentially, be a late lunch 'cos I won't have it until after the delivery has been and gone.


I've just...

...cancelled my Visible subscription 'cos I've gotta reset the band yet again after under 15 hours and it's just not worth it to me to have to do a hard reset at least once every day.  I'm sure it works for lots of people, I'm just not one of them.
