Morning all, thanks for the flowers @MilesJuppIsMyBitch - great username!
Well, as it turns out I can't update the spreadsheet even if I wanted to, as my scales have completely given up the ghost. But I'd already decided to stick around for the last week's chat but not update the spreadsheet, as part of my commitment to KOKO but focus on health and fitness rather than the numbers on the scales.
As part of that I went for a brisk walk after drop off this morning, which was lovely, chilly but very bright and sunny. And I made a version of this casserole yesterday - used shallots instead of onions and left out the peas - and it was surprisingly tasty.

Enough leftover for another meal for one too!
Someone on the previous thread (was it you ShagMe?) said that even though they've been IF for a while, occasionally they still wake up feeling starving, so on those days, guess what, they have breakfast! I've decided to do the same. Most days I'm actually not especially hungry, and water and a black coffee is fine for me till lunch. But on the days when I wake up hungry, "forcing" myself to fast till lunchtime feels like a punishment, and leaves me feeling angry and resentful - at myself! So I'm not going to do it anymore, and will eat if I'm hungry.
I know that doesn't sound exactly revolutionary, but I had reached a point mentally where I felt I had to punish myself every time I put on a pound, which isn't a very healthy attitude.
Not sure what we'll eat today. Salmon for dinner, possibly.
