Didn't Kate look lovely? Beautiful dress! It's my mum's birthday tomorrow and she's having a last minute dinner do. I might take the day off or make it a flexi day, depending on what's on offer. I just don't want to go go overboard and undo my loss. :fingerscrossed:

Saturday was relatively okay. Plus, I got some body magic in the form of overtime at work! I normally hobble up stairs, but I'm just that little bit quicker on my feet these days...:giggle:

I'm pain and (almost) hayfever free! Curvalicious, :hug99: I feel you with the hayfever and I know how falling off the wagon can be...I'm glad your back on track. I'm seriously hunting these cordials now, they've been out of stock twice now, not that I'm surprised with the nice bank holiday weather we're experiencing.

I just realised I didn't have my HEX's today....whooooops, not like me at all. :eek: I spent a majority of the day out, so I didn't want to risk guessing amounts etc.

See this is why I want a child :p

Jokes... its probably not the right reason, is it..... :p

Food looks good today, keep it up!
 
Hey Christina well done on your 8.5lb loss, that's fantastic! Best of luck for this week.

Just looking through your diary and some of the food you made looks amazing :D
 
Auburn, that's my new thing...if I have too many goodies at home, I share, lol! At least that way I know it's gone, not hiding in my fridge planning a conspiracy to pounce on me when I'm having an iffy day! You know those treats can be evilllll :p

I'm chuffed, lost 3½lbs tonight, and met my first goal - to lose 2 weeks in a row!! I am aiming to lose (or STS) every week in May and break the crazy yo-yo chain. Second goal is to get my 4st shiny, which is just TWO POUNDS away! :bliss:

Breakfast
None

Brunch
Onion omelette
Boiled potatoes
Lots of boiled carrots
Baked beans


Dinner
My idea of comfort food:

Boiled eggs


Snacks
4 Slices of WW thick wholemeal bread (2 x HEXb)
3 Tsp of Clover lighter (3 syns)
1 Multipack Mars bar (12 syns)


Drinks
250ml semi-skimmed milk for decaf tea (HEXa)

Thank you all SO MUCH for keeping me encouraged when I've all but lost my head...seriously, you're all too fabulous for words! :hug99:
