Morning Everyone!

I decided to WI this morning as I'm going away later and I'm not sad enough to take my scales with me!!!!

3lbs off since last Friday!

I'm really really happy with that as I've just eaten exactly what I've wanted this Half Term, maybe not the healthiest of choices but sticking to my PP has paid off.

1st 6lb is now gone! 8lbs till Goal!

Thanks for everyone's support,

Lots of Love Serena x

Hey Everyone!

We are back!!!

Had a fabulous time, was so lovely to see my bestie and spend time with Hugo who is now rapidly approaching 1!

We went to High School together and have therefore known each other for 21 Years in July, our friendship has sustained a lot, I'm only gutted there now a 4hr round trip drive between us!

My 2 favourite photos from the trip:





Love how happy the kids look playing together and love how young I look!!!

On the whole my food was very 'normal' just enjoyed myself and watched my portions etc! That was until last night, we got stuck on the M25 driving home and were both starving by the time we got back to town so I treated us....to a sit down Indian Oops!!!!

I've never been able go go out with the Popsicle for a sit down Indian so I decided sod it lets do it and enjoy it! Anyway that's written my Weeklies off and today I'm back on it!!! 6 Full Days till WI so I'm sure it'll be fine!!!!

Lots of Love Serena X

She's hoping to come up this way in the next couple of months and then we will travel down for Hugo's 1st Birthday Party on the 28th May. Not a lot of time together but as you say we look forward to it even more. x

Hey Everuone!

I haven't disappeared off the face of the planet, just been too busy to update, oops!

Since Friday's Indian, I've been on Plan Saturday/Sunday. No Weeklies, just my 26pp Dailies. No really exciting meals to share, just usual stuff, making the most of my dailies

Two pics to share:


A VERY yummy 27 Thorntons Chocolates that one of the kids in my class gave me! I opened them yesterday to share with Poppy and factored TWO into my day for 4pp! Go Me!


A funky IKEA unit which i went on a Road Trip to collect earlier today, it was a bargain and I couldn't resist! Love white furniture, not got any wood in my house.

In other news, I've booked our Summee Holiday today!!!! We are going to Malta for a week, even more reason to get to (and stay at!) goal!!!! 156 Days to go! Not had a Sun Summee Holiday since 2009 so it's been 7 years in the planning!!!

Lots of Love Serena x

Hey Everyone!

Tis the night before work Been busy prepping ourselves for the return to school, only 4wks 3days to work and then I get a whole 17 days off with my Popsicle, yey!

Today I've been at the Hospital for an Appt with my Eye Consultant, he's really pleased with my progress, the new 'Serena' approach seems to be working and it was one of my best appts in 16 years!

We then went out for lunch at the Hungry Horse, I thought I should have the 3 Veggie Sausages, Mash, Peas and Gravy as it was 15pp (lowest pp on the menu) but as it was the last day of the holiday I decided to have what I wanted!

So this is what I had:



2 Vegetable Skewers (3pp) Roasted Pepper/Onion (1pp) Plain Jacket Potato (7pp) Franks Red Hot Sauce (1pp) 1 Onion Ring (2pp) Salad Dressing (1pp) So with the smart choices of giving away 2 Onion Rings to Poppy and swapping my Chips for a Jacket Potato my meal came in at 15pp, exactly the same as the other (boring!) option! Yey!

That's all for today, will update after work tomorrow!

Lots of Love Serena x
