Good morning everyone!
I'm still alive for anyone wondering lol, I've had such a busy weekend I totally forgot to update my diary, I have still been updating IG though for anyone that is following me
I went out with my friend Carly on Saturday to an Engagement party and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I stuck to diet cokes but had a bit of the buffet food that was on offer, so I may have indulged a bit more than I should have, but I enjoyed myself and that's all that matters.
Here's a pic of me from Saturday
I felt great and oh so comfortable in my maxi dress! I'm so pleased Slimming World has helped me get to where I want to be
So yeah, onto today - It's the day before weigh in and for once I'm not scared or nervous, whatever the scales say tomorrow I can deal with it. I'm obviously hoping for a maintain lol and I'm having a low syn though to try and minimise any damage :giggle: (I've lost count of my syns this week if I'm totally honest!)
Oh and I'm off to Spinning class tonight, whoop ready to feel the burn! :flirt2:
Have a fab day everyone.

Afternoon hun, I loved that pic of you in the maxi dress, you look amazing, and where is the rest of you? Must feel great to be a target member at last, you've come such a long way and never lost your positivity or sensible attitude towards weight loss. Whenever I get a bit fed up of how long I've got left I try and think of you and how you slogged away week in week out and got to target. So inspiring.
Good luck on the scales tomorrow, must feel weird wanting to see the same number rather than a smaller one for a change! Bet it'll take some adjusting to!
Enjoy the nice weather, its miserable here! xxx

Thanks so much everyone! I still think it's mind boggling how I've lost so much weight by just food optimising. It's mental. I mean where does all the fat go? :giggle:
So last night I gain 0.5lbs, but that's OK because it now means I'm bang on target which is great! So because I'm still a target member me & Liam went to McDonalds and I got myself one of those new Mars Bar McFlurry.... OMG, they are amazing! I'm sure they're over 20 syns though, but to be perfectly honest they're sooooo worth it. I won't be having one again this week though lol.
So onto today, I've got another busy day at work then I'm going to Spin & Tone class tonight at 5:15pm. Really looking forward to it, I'm just hoping they'll have the air con up high so we all don't turn into puddles of sweat, haha.
Have a fab day everyone!

So jealous of your mcflurry!! I love those bad boys.
I'm really looking forward to relaxing a little bit over holiday and allowing myself a few more ice creams

That McFlurry does sound good! Where on earth do you get the Batchelors Pilau rice from? I've never seen it in my local supermarkets and it would definitely make my home made currys taste a lot better!

Jens - That McFlurry was amazing! Yum, I could just eat another one right now lol. Ice creams/ice lollies are the best especially when it's scorchio outside.
Ruby - I get the Pilau rice from Asda, it's normally by the Pasta 'n' Sauces (in a purple packet) - It's really tasty and syn free too
