Thanks for the tip will be on board her in Feb, Pies and the Hot Dogs from the Doghouse should help the calorie intake😁

They sure will, I find the sugary cocktails are also help.

Just spotted this article: https://www.escape.com.au/destinations/australia/nsw/the-best-meat-pies-worth-roadtripping-for-in-nsw/news-story/3999f32f2177e1ef7b3749a8d3abf970

Interesting article, I haven't tried any of these pies but may try the Bryant's one next time I am in Goulburn.

Please, no more talk of pies until tomorrow night as I'm restricted to clear fluids until then. 😮

Fair enough, I won't mention them to you until then.😁

BTW, I have given up meat pies and ice coffee for lent.

I've just given up Lent ....

 

Less trouble, in this world, anyway.

I am not doing it for religious reasons but for health reasons, too many cruises means the salt air is bloating me or shrinking my clothes, something has to give and I don't want to buy new clothes. So cutting out some of my favourite but fattening food items is one way I can do that.

I can sympathise. I came off my last cruise the heaviest I have ever been at almost 88kg. At 6'1" it may not seem a lot but it, the fat, is accumulating in the wrong place - visceral - and that's not good. I don't burn enough calories while cruising.

That is my problem too apart from over indulging while cruising. The smoke and the heat has also put any usual post Xmas extra exercise at bay, so that didn't help at all.

I can't blame cruising this time, as haven't been on one for over a year. But yes, smoke & heat have curtailed my exercise routines over the summer. So a few kilos to lose.

 

I suggest we have a challenge for all our local cc family on here to make a special effort over the lent period (not for religious reasons) to exercise more, and get back to our 'regular' playing weights, for the good of our health.

Now I will have a 10N cruise in that time, but am determined to lose at least 5kg before I return to work on Apr 14 (even with Easter eggs & buns tempting me. 🙂 

 

I will have a weigh-in tonight & then the goal will be set.

I am in on it, I doubt I will lose 5 kgs but will try for 2kgs.

Time to go shopping at Aldi for supplies. I got back from the hospital this morning and found I had no pies to have with my chips for lunch. So lunch was chips and squid rings, sans pie.

Don't forget the toilet rolls, supplies are dwindling due to panic buying.  All that healthy food above makes toilet rolls essential.🤣  Woollies is rationing the aforesaid articles.

 

Please, no toilet roll thread, that would be worse than the 'Princess pat of butter thread.'  

Just to remind you..

I don't get the toilet roll buying.

It's CORONAVIRUS not NOROVIRUS.🤮

Gotta link to the butter pat? I haven't heard about that one.

[MicCanberra]

I knew there was a thread on pillow chocs.

Coronavirus is known to cause some diarrhoea but I think the panic buying is more the fear of being put into some kind of lock down and running out of toilet paper. It makes you realise just how dependent we have become on a simple roll of tissues😂.

[MicCanberra]

Surely we can get to the bottom of this issue.

There is an alternative, invented by those clever Japanese people: the bidet toilet seat with multiple wash functions and also a dryer. No TP required. ☺️

[MicCanberra]

The company that invented that toilet seat is flushed with success.

The Butter pat thread was on Princess section of CC, last year, cast of thousands reacted when Princess ships put one pat of butter per person on the MDR dinner table.  Cannot give you the link.   I mean how can  you 'Come Back New' with only pat of butter on your dinner rolls ?

Wow. On Celebrity each table has a dish or two with some spreads but it never lasts long. We just ask for some wrapped butter and the waiter would bring a plate of it, non problem
