You know you're motivated when last week you go down the chocolate aisle in the supermarket and grab 2 chocolate bars, but this week you walk past and it's "Nope! Not having any of that!" Head held high!

Went to my monthly physio appointment this morning and my lovely physio is happy with my improvement YAY. I've been battling with frozen shoulder for about 18 months now but each time I see her there is a little more improvement in my range of motion. Wouldn't wish this horrible ..... well you can't call it an injury .... this horrible affliction on anyone; it's very debilitating. Have to work on strengthening the muscles now as I've been doing everything left handed (right shoulder is afflicted) and have lost all strength in my right arm. But I am sooooo glad that I'm not in any pain anymore :).

I'm making a stock pot full of green tomato chutney today. My neighbour pulled out her finished tomato plants but there were still quite a few unripe ones on the vines. Couldn't see them going to waste so chopped them all up with some apple and onion, vinegar and sugar, and it's now cooking up on the stove. Pity I won't get to eat any of it because it has sugar in it :p but I've had fun making it and will enjoy giving some of it away.

Eating today has been good so far. Started off the day with lemon juice in a glass of water. Then muesli for brekky, and minestrone soup with a little parmesan cheese + bread with avocado spread for lunch. Dinner is chicken stir-fry leftovers. No snacks so far.
 
Oh, you're good. I love green tomato chutney. We have made heaps this last week & I'll be having some tonight with cold corned beef & hot veg.

We do. Hardly anyone's tomatoes ripened here this year, which I didn't mind as I just love GT chutney :)

Ooh me too. I'd forgotten what it tastes like, until it had all reduced down after a couple of hours cooking. Devine! Also, so excited you grow your own vegetables! I have baby cut and come again lettuces that I can't keep up with at the moment. They are growing quicker than we can eat them .
 
We don't grow heaps of veg as the only properly fenced off area is on the South side of our house. We have lots of wildlife up here.
Don't give all of that chutney away :)

What kind of wildlife? We have brushtail and ringtail possums here, also kangaroos. As well as birds of course. If the possums weren't so cute we'd be fuming at the nibbles that they take. They loooove chilli and capsicum! Such strange taste :D.

Hope you're feeling better today Cate.
 
Good morning everyone!

It's a beautiful one here :). Just quickly, the weight is slowly going down, this morning the scales read 72.3kg (159lb). More importantly I'm feeling lighter already as in not so uncomfortable. The gut is feeling way better than last week's upsets so I'm on a rollllll :rotflmao:.

We're off to our meditation retreat this arvo and there's no internet coverage so I'll check in again when we're back, on the 23rd. Wishing everyone pleasant days and lighter bodies x. Di
 
Hope you're having a great retreat!
