FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!

[funcurls]

Hope your OH gets better soon. £300!! You can get a load of new clothes with that
Debating whether to go back to my WI. Wondering if I should just try to do it on my own and just WI at the gym?

Well, the hotel was £130, the petrol would have cost about £40, drinks would have been pricey in the castle, and it was a charity function (auctions, tombola etc) which would have meant parting with cash too (I know that makes me sound tight, but all totted up it makes for a pricey event!!!)

DH is OK thanks, he has terrible eczema and from time to time it flares up, starts bleeding and gets infected:cry: which in turn makes him feel really ropey! He has started some anti-Bs and is starting to feel a bit better X

Oh hun, I think you have to ask yourself if you can really truly honestly stick to it at home without going to WI! I know some people can, unfortunately I'm not one of them! I know I need to go to class to get the support, kicks up the backside and the public humiliation to stick to it and stay motivated! But of course everyone is different! If you CAN do it from home, give it a go, but think hard about it!!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hey hunny, as I was saying to Meli above, it's his eczema that gets infected sometimes and makes him feel yucky all over!!:cry:He's feeling a bit better today though as antibiotics are kicking in!! It's a worry though, the edges of his hands and wrists are raw from scratching!!

Hi Jay, long time no shpeak!! Lovely to see you, thanks for popping by! Thanks also for the lovely rep!!! Yeh I'm really pleased with myself for sticking with it, transforming the way I eat and approach food and most of all enjoying it (which I suppose is how I've stuck to it!) On the other hand I do get frustrated with myself for taking so long to get to target!! It's been very slow since November!! But with only a few lbs to go (8 to be precise) it's a lot harder to say no to the odd indulgence, which in turn slows things down and prevents me from getting there quicker!! But overall I should be pleased with myself I think!! How are you doing anyway sweetie?XXX

Ah I'm plodding along, as always. Still cannot get back to target. Well, I can, but everything keeps getting in the way. Birthdays, weekends away, social events etc.
Still, I'm doing my best to maintain but I have 10lb to shift and it's getting closer and closer to holidays.
I will get there though.

You take care lovely lady xx

Curry sounds good honey - is it spicy? or just a little kick to it?

Mmmm love curry!!! Quite spicy, but if it's not hot enough I add more chilli powder or hot curry powder rather than more paste!! Mmmm!!!X

I missed this hidden within all your food!!!

Well done on the loss huni!! Any loss is a loss and much better than a gain!!! Its only a 1/2lb gain that is 'nothing', 1/2lb losses are everything!!!

That curry does sound lovely!! I really should get myself some curry paste!! xx
