Well, here are again. my self-imposed 45-day Lent period is over for another year. I managed to resist my banned list for 2015 without too much trouble – and there’s a smug look about me this morning!
All-in-all, I lost around 11lbs, which was more-or-less the same as last year – and that’s pretty pleasing, considering it was all achieved by simply NOT eating stuff, rather than in conjunction with any sort of exercise campaign as well.
There were 35 items on this year’s ‘banned list’, and as has become customary (as well as a little bit obsessive!), I’ve added a few more items in preparation for Lent in 2016. Next year, the list will total 42.
2016’s Banned List
A big thanks to Ann (especially!) for re-jigging meals, as well as our friends and family who accommodated me so well.
Off now to find the biggest bar of chocolate imaginable!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
