Can't do the calories and my sis in law and I are a bad influence on each other.
B: porridge/cinnamon/raisins, fresh mixed fruit L: chicken wrap - big with lots of veggies, iced coffee, then sis in law suggested we get a piece of carrot cake. Should have said no. D: sweet and sour vegetables, water S: 1 gin and tonic, 1 bottle vodka cooler

Friday
Gym this morning. I've started alternating running and steep incline on the treadmill. Good session with dumbbells.
B: porridge/cinnamon/raisins/almond milk, fresh mixed fruit L: pasta with tofu, cashews, herbs D: Going to a night market tonight with sis in law. Thinking about the Italian restaurant we went to a few years ago and getting pizza and cocktails to energize us before we shop!

What I eat would be oatmeal but porridge also means all hot cereals in the UK. Oatmeal isn't in my vocabulary anymore.

Oatmeal isn't in my vocabulary anymore. porridge sounds old fashioned and like a fairytale.. almost like eating your curds and whey... lol!! Annie.. do people in the States think you now have a Scottish accent? Do the people in the UK tell you that you sound American?

Off the wagon yesterday. 3,150 calories.
But my weight held steady at 214. There will probably be a delayed reaction and I will have to pay for that tomorrow.
Walked 2 miles in 39 minutes then did Bench Presses.

All I know about porridge is from Goldilocks and the three bears. What they don't tell you in that story is that after Goldilocks ate their porridge, the bears ate her.

....after Goldilocks ate their porridge, the bears ate her. I think that's how it really went down. One of these?

I think if anyone actually ate one of those they'd be getting a colectomy shortly after.

Annie.. do people in the States think you now have a Scottish accent? Do the people in the UK tell you that you sound American? It sounds old fashioned to your ears. I did call it oatmeal for a while after moving there, but the box says porridge, people all say porridge, and along with dozens of other words I use the one in the country where I live.
I was 48 when I moved there an my accent was set by then. Although my husband says I don't have that whiny, nasal Michigan accent any more. Others also tell me I sound a bit different but can't pinpoint it . My 'o's are rounder is one observation and I don't talk as fast as I used to. But I can't even do a good imitation of a Scottish accent. Yes, people in the UK will ask me if I'm Canadian or American.
My sister gets very annoyed that I didn't keep using the words I grew up with. She thinks I use different words to be understood. But they become part of my vocabulary after years and the only time I have to think about what word to use is on visits to the US. Garage/gas station, bin/trash can, etc. I always say mobile and never cellphone.

The word oatmeal is an American invention and Scots were eating porridge long before there was a US.
My very favourite brand: no idea why they use two t's and not one. Guess it's someone's name.

You think you Michiganders have a nasally long "A"... lol! I admit it.. I have a strong Chicago accent. But.. years ago.. when I was married to my 1st husband who was from Alabama, we would spend a lot of time visiting his family. When I came home, my mother used to have a fit.. said I always came back talking like a "hillbilly"... Although the folks down there found my Chicago accent amusing. They would always try to get me to talk so they could hear it. Some accents are easier to pick up than others.. The Southern accent is very easy to pick up.
