How many Michelin stars does a Bunnngs restaurant have? @Shaz51. Should have gone on a weekend and had a sausage wrapped in a slice of bread.

Diet fail today:
Missed breakfast, simply busy and forgot, KFC for lunch (darlings choice, she went out and got it while I was working and bub was sleeping).
Reflux of the charts at the moment and out of antacid, going to be a long night.
Darling cooking spaghetti bol for dinner. don't know if that will help of hinder the reflux.
On a positive note, I managed my 1/2 hour walk again this afternoon.
Managed to meet my 1/2 hour daily exercise target 5 days in a row now 🙂
