Everyone else has got one... so now it's my turn

Good evening ladies.

I'm home from work.

Well.. today has been a fantabulous birthday!!

Woke up next to the boy - a brilliant start to the day =)
Then headed home whilst he went to work.
Got home and the birthday fairy had been - he left me 8 cards, some of which had money in (and one was a very special one that had travelled all the way from Kent! <3), a new Cath Kidston bag & purse, a puzzle book (LOVE puzzle books), a cushion with hippy vans printed on it (love hippy vans too) and 2 jars of fluff (1 original, 1 plain - so he was listening after all =D) and a little money box with my name on it.

Then it was time for the gym.
My bum was so sore from last night's classes, still is now tbh.
Did my routine and off to weigh in.
I'd had a good feeling about it, right until when I went to weigh and I was sick with nerves.

Finally it was my turn, and I stepped on the scales.
And they read dead on 10stone!!!
So happy.
I jumped off, almost cried with happiness.
And then jumped back on to make sure it was true - it then said 10st0.5... so I immediately jumped off and ignored that haha.

So I hit my target weight on my birthday as I'd insisted I would.
The last 4 weeks have been tough, with random weight losses and a stay the same, but the final push this last week has paid off.

Went to grandma's to tell everyone the good news and had some lunch followed by home made birthday cake.

Then it was time for work.
And because I'd hit goal, I was allowed the pick & mix I'd promised myself for hitting goal.
Woop woop (I'll put up a picture in a mo).

Work went pretty quickly, and am now at home.
No catching up because I haven't heard from the boy since half 6 - he's probs down the gym, so am at home.

Foodwise - I'm planning on tracking regular meals - such as the cottage pie & lettuce I had at lunch (8pp), my breakfast of Weetabix (3pp) and a banana (0pp), and a few grapes I had before going to work (0pp).

Everything else (slice of cake & pick & mix) aren't being counted.
So really... I've not had a lot to eat today, so considering having a sausage roll & chips for 8pp and then a few more pick & mix.

Then tomorrow - breakfast & lunch will be pointed, as well as any snacks, then the evening meal will not be.
Saturday breakfast, lunch & dinner will be pointed, again, along with any snacks, and then there will be some cakes that my friend is going to make - I will have 1 of those and it will not be pointed, and I may treat myself to a non alcoholic kopparberg, also not pointed.

After that, starting sunday, straight back to points.

Because I'm maintaining now, I can up my points by an extra 3-6 points.
But for this week I'm going to stick to 26 dailies (as I'll only be on plan properly for 4 days) and then see how I get on next thursday at weigh in and then go from there.
I had planned on going down to 9st7 for a bit of leeway, but apparently you only get 5lbs either side of your goal weight, so 9st9 will have to do.
I'm sure I can manage with 2lbs less.

I understand why they do it though - so they don't get people with like 3 stone to lose and say their goal is only 1 stone off, and then they can go free whilst they lose the final 2 stone.

But anyway... that's been my day.
Really enjoyed it.
One of the best birthdays in a while.
Thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes and your support whilst I've been losing weight.

Definitely couldn't have done it without you all!!!

LOTS OF LOVE & KISSES!!!

Pick & mix!!
Got a bit of everything but have eaten a few
 
Also, I love baking.
I can't cook for toffee, but I can bake.
I get it from my grandma.
My favourite are oatmeal cookies, which work out about 3pp each and they're quite big.

Made some for when we went to Wales and I took them up Snowdon.
It kept us going.
May have to bake some more for scafell pike.
I'm so excited about it.
Can't wait to see how many steps I do haha

Your Birthday Sounds Epic!

Which Cath Kidston Bag & Purse did you get? I have my own little collection, I have 5 Bags with Matching Purses and then other Bag Sizes/Shapes in the same colours so I can use the original purses if that makes sense?!?

I notice that you only have one White Mouse, I will let Trina have that ;-) Can I please have the little pink cone which has the sprinkles on?

I'm so had that my Card reached you safely, I'm sorry that there was no gift but I did make sure it was a super pretty card :)

I just wanted to say again how proud I am of you for reaching your goal, you're an inspiration to each and everyone of us.

Love you lots like jelly tots. X

PS-Oatmeal Cookies sound yum, still can't believe my cakes for the weekend work out at 7pp and they don't even have any icing! X
 
Realy well dun for today hun and im glad u had such an amazing day. I hope your chinese is worth the wait and u enjoy it.x

Don't quite match, but they're cute anyway.

And yeah... course you can have a sprinkle cone.
I think the H&T count as nothing ;) haha

And I don't expect a gift - the card was gift enough as you didn't even have to do that.
Did you make it yourself?? Because it is definitely gorgeous.
Thank you again =D

And I didn't think the cookies were too bad considering they have like 2tbsp of golden syrup in the mixture haha

Thanks.
Definitely enjoyed the chips.
Wasn't a major dinner, but it was enough.
Especially as I'm having chinese tomorrow night as well lol.
 
Sounds like an amazing day - love your Cath Kidstone goodies, I do like a kitch print. Some if her clothes are awesome but I don't think I'm bold enough to carry them off ;)

The card was gorgeous.
Thanks again for it, and for going out of your way and ordering it specially for me.
You are a doll.
I definitely do like home made cards - I like home made any things.
I believe it's the thought that counts the most.
The fact that somebody has put thought, time and effort into something for you means that they really care.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing what the boy has made me.
He's been working on it for months and should be finished for tomorrow.

Yeah, for a quiet day where I was also working, it was a really good day.
Think I'll end up putting the 3lbs back on this week though haha.
But it doesn't matter because I've got to goal, I know I can do it, and I'll just keep doing it.

Morning Serena.
Thank you. I'm hoping it will be another good one too.
I'm working til 1 and then got the afternoon to myself.
So I might go out for a nice long walk to the gym again, earn some steps, and burn off some of the Chinese/pick & mix/cake from yesterday and set me up for dinner tonight.

Hope you have a good day too and I'm sure WI will be a good one =)
