If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

That's fab news about work! You must be so relieved!
Well done on today's food choices xx

I am relieved, the job fits in so well with Poppy and that was always my main concern with working full time. I'm just glad the massive hunger of the past 2 days has subsided now, thank goodness! X
 
Glad that hungers passed does make it difficult to stay on track. It's not easy working with children- it's lovely that you do have a great job that's fits well with Poppy xx

As a recovered binger, extreme hunger sometimes worries me as I worry it might lead to a binge but this year I've really learnt how to deal with it. X
 
Evening Everyone!

Today has been a BAD food day, especially bad seeing as it's not even the weekend! Oops! Somebody at work was retiring after 25 years at the school and they laid on a 'do' after school which involved 3 whole tables of homemade cakes!!!!

Today's Food-

Breakfast-Same

Lunch-Same plus a 2 Finger Cookies and Cream Kit Kat, I normally resist staff room temptation but it was Chocolate Thursday and I couldn't resist!!!!

Tea (Oops!)-A slice of Homemade Maltesar Chocolate Cake and a square of Homemade Chocolate & Nut Brownie!

Dinner-Pasta with Stir In Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce with Carrots/Green Beans/Peas/Sweetcorn

Ok so it wasn't a great day and it is WI tomorrow but life happens and I'm under target and don't do it every day so I enjoyed every mouthful/bite/crumb and that's it!

Hope everyone's had a great Thursday, 1 day to go! Yippee!

Lots of Love Serena X
 
Food looks and sounds yummy today, don't be hard on yourself with the treats- your food is usually healthy majority of the time.

Good luck with wi xx

Thanks Hun, sometimes it's still hard to let go and enjoy the treats but now I don't scoff everything in sight it is a little easier! X
 
Morning Everyone!

Not sure whats going on but another 1.5lb has dropped off this week?!?

More is definitely More!!!

I'm 100% going to enjoy my Half Term with Poppy and not worry about the odd Muffin/Wimpy/Roast/Tea as I know I make such better choices these days and a treat here and there isn't doing me any harm at all.

Have a great Friday everyone.

Lots of Love Serena X
 
That's amazing your still losing even though your at a great weight.
Definitely make the most of your time off- you can afford to have a few treats.

I'm guessing you and Poppy have got lots of plans while your off xx

You know me too well!!!! Although we don't have many plans this holiday, think I'm just looking forward to the chill!!! X
 
Evening Everyone!!!!

The holidays are here!!!! Whoop Whoop!!!!

And I have to be honest and say the holidays have started in style, yippee!

Today's Food

B-Same

L-Same

After School I treated us to the cinema to see Angry Birds, I was going to do it in the half term but I thought sod it and we went to the 5pm showing! Whilst in the cinema we shared a small pot of sour cream and onion Pringles, a small bag of dry roasted peanuts and a bag of chocolate peanuts.

D-Poppy chose Dominos, I actually didn't fancy it so 'only' had 3 Slices of our veggie pizza.

Tonight I've got a small slice of homemade walnut cake to have with a cuppa, another birthday at work!!!! This is the problem with working at a school with over 500 kids, it's always someone's birthday!!!!

Ok there's been lots of indulgence today but I feel like we've really started the holidays now!!!!

Hope everyone's had a great Friday,

Lots of Love Serena x
 
Chill out week sounds fab as your both are so busy usually. Hope you enjoyed cinema that's a lovely Friday night treat- Hollie is petrified of Angry birds- I'm thinking of taking Emily and Maisie to see Alice in wonderland during half term.

Hope dominos was nice xx

Alice in Wonderland came on as trailer and Poppy said boring! She's such a Tom boy, she wanted to see Angry Birds and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I'm looking forward to secret life of the pets but that hasn't come out yet, maybe it'll be the summer holidays x
 
Hey Everyone!

In July we will have known each other for 21 years, as friends we've been through a lot but it was a pleasure to spend Hugo's 1st Birthday together. I especially like the pic of all 4 of us.

Morning Everyone!

I'm getting a little slack with these updates now it's the holidays! Oops!

Yesterday was a very productive Sunday, I managed to do all the washing, get it line dried, ironed and packed away! Also cleaned the whole house and did the front and back gardens!!!!

My parents came over for dinner which was lovely, they stayed till about 930, was nice to just relax and chat together.

Yesterday's Food

B-Didn't have any as I wasn't hungry and wanted to crack on with the jobs

L-A random selection of Slim A Soup Minestrone, Wotsits, Babybel Light, Petit Filous and a slice of birthday cake we brought home from Hugo's Party, didn't want to stop to make anything so just had quick picky bits!

D-Didn't have time to faff around cooking from scratch so I bought an Asda Family Meal Deal. I had 1/4 Asda Mac n Cheese, 1/4 Asda Spicy Potato Wedges, Asda Mixed Veg and 1/4 Asda Hot Jam Sponge for afters. Wasn't too bad for a bought meal actually and it fed all 4 of us, both courses for £6.50!

It feels soooooooo good to not be at work today, yey for school holidays!!!!

Lots of Love Serena x
 
Good Evening Everyone!

Had such another lovely day today! We've been to Bluewater, was so nice to walk round without having to rush!

Our purchases:

Poppy's bargain summer dresses from h&m, they were running a half term promotion so you got all 4 for £8! Love the prints and I know they will wash and iron well.

I can't help but keep stroking this, it's so lovely and I've waited a long time for a Ted Baker Purse!!!
image.jpeg
A Cath Kidston Water Bottle, I had a gift voucher and I wanted something I would use regularly, I spent the other half on a make up bag which I use daily and now the bottle which I will use especially at work.

image.jpeg

I then collected a bargain lawn mower from eBay, I managed to haggle an extra fiver off too, result! I have listed my old lawnmower on eBay too so I might get a little towards the new one.

Today's Food:

B-Slice of Homemade Banana Bread

L-Jacket Potato with Cheese (No Butter)

S-Cadbury Mini Roll

D-3 Slices of Spicy Veggie Pizza and Chips

Not much food there but just had what I've fancied all day, will eat the rest of the pizza on Wednesday I expect.

Hope everyone's had a great bank holiday!
