Happy Thursday!
Hope you are all having a good week.
I had a lovely evening last night. I am starting a new job in a few weeks, so met some of my new colleagues last night for a catch up on the role, and it turned into a chit chat about love, life and everything else. They seem really cool - so I cant wait to get started.

Hello peeps..hope you are enjoying the weekend so far.

I was most disheartened with a +1lb gain this week. I have been 100% on plan, lots of exercise, but the scales do not show my hard work! Hoping that next week I can turn this around.

Nearly went into meltdown at lunchtime, but turned it around, looked to why I was doing this (and that actually - a pack of digestives is NOT going to make me feel better or set me back on my way!) and so back on track for tea.
