Great day! Lovely shopping purchases - I like H&M for the girls, usually buy a couple of those summer dresses.

Yesterday sounded great too, I got up this morning and gave our place a good clean as we had visitors coming over x

H&M is fab isn't it, I need to work out what else Poppy needs and then go back I think!!! X

 

[Cas3]

Don't take too much but those dresses from H&M are fab for holidays- if you a Morrisons near by they had some nice holiday bits.

Your holiday is coming around fast not now xx

We do have a Morrisons, they do Nutmeg Clothing I think? I never think to look in there. It's 55 Days to go today, can't believe how quickly it's sneaking round! It doesn't seem possible that it will be Term 6 When we go back either. X

They do some shorts and bits quite reasonable. Last year on our holiday we took way too much and most of it they didn't get to wear.

55 days isn't that long to go, the school year always seems to flys by

Morning Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of update yesterday but was busy busy!

We met up with my Mum for the day and did grocery shopping together, also had chance to have lunch with a friend of mine who moved away a few years ago. It was so lovely to sit, chat and catch up, I miss her dearly and a face to face meet up was so much nicer than the usual text or phone call!

Yesterday's Food:

B-2 Satsumas (Overslept and grabbed these on the way to my Mums!)

L-Wetherspoons Halloumi and Sweet Chilli Wrap with Cucumber, Lettuce, Onion and Tomato! (I swapped my Chips for Salad as I don't like Chips when I'm having a Wrap, I just had 4 solitary chips which I pinched from Poppy lol)

S-3 Mentos Choco Mint which I pinched from Poppy when I was driving lol

D-Poppy ate at my Mums so I treated myself to a Vegetable Korma from the Indian Takeaway with a few chips, been wanting one for AGES so it was a nice treat!

I don't feel like my food is too good this week but I'm Definitely enjoying my time off! Going to Dobbies for a yummy lunch with another friend today.

Have a great day everyone,

Lots of Love Serena X

Evening Everyone!

Today's been another lovely day, can't believe we are halfway through the half term already tho

We met up with one of my best friends and her 2 kids at Dobbies for lunch, we chatted and caught up and had a look round the store too

Here's a photo of me with the 3 kids:



Today's Food

B-2 Satsumas (Rushing out the door again lol)

L-Dobbies Roasted Tomato Soup & Brie/Salad Wholemeal Bloomer Sandwich (No Butter)

D-Remaining 3 Slices of Vegetarian Hot Pizza from Monday Night and 1/2 Morrisons Salad Bowl (Shared with Poppy)

Feel like I've pigged out today but did try to make healthy (ish!) choices!

Hope everyone's had a good Wednesday,

Lots of Love Serena z

I'm thoroughly enjoying my half term! It's so nice to be able to catch up with family and friends under no time restraints at all! Dobbies is a Garden Centre but the Restaurant/Cafe is AMAZING, their fresh cream cakes are some of the best I've ever tasted!!!! I love the pic, it's funny that now I'm smaller I'm so much happier to have my picture taken and it gives me some great memories to look at. X

Evening Everyone!

Today I feel like Ten Tonne Tessie I think too much naughty food has definitely caught up on me!

I've been to Maidstone today, we looked round the shops and then caught up with friends for lunch at Wetherspoons. Was yet another lovely natter and catch up!

Today's Food (Tried to keep food relatively lightnand drink plenty of water, tummy doesn't feel good at all!)

B-3 Satsumas

L-Wetherspoons Five Bean Chilli with Rice and Tortilla Chips, best thing I could find on the menu!

D-WW Tomato Soup, Wotsits and 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, strange combo I know but I didn't want any bread!

I'm predicting a HUGE gain tomorrow, I think maybe 7lbs which is disgusting I know! Only time will tell, I definitely need to go back to work ha ha ha

Hope everyone's had a great Thursday,

Lots of Love Serena x

I think you did well today considering Serena...you have been really restrained as you've been off work and out with friends. I hate eating at Wetherspoons..never fancy any of their veggie options and it's all so high cal. You probably made the best choice though

 

[Cas3]

You do seem so confident in your pics and always look great - I don't like my own picture taken always feel bigger.

Dobbies sounds amazing, - also love school holidays especially not clock watching and it's nice to have a bit quality time with the children.

Food was great today, I honestly don't think it matters if you do gain as your way out under goal xx

Thanks Hun I think eating out as a Veggie is hard wherever you go, firstly 80% of the menu is normally off limits and then the 20% which is left is normally boring and unhealthy! I love to go to a veggie or vegan cafe as I know nothing is off limits then, it's heaven!!!! X

Hopefully your picture confidence will come as you get closer to goal? I feel like I missed out on so many picture opportunities and now I'm catching up! I've enjoyed this school holiday so much, it might not have been the most fancy or most exciting but it's been a lovely week, just goes to show you don't have to spend a lot of money, it's who u spend your time with that's important! I forgot to say there's a little outdoor play area at dobbies too, it was too wet to use it on Wednesday but normally the girls love to have a go on it. X

Morning! How did wi go?

It's nice that you got to do the things that you enjoyed- I feel like we've not had a half term with everything going on this week. Have you got much planned over the weekend? X

I think We will be mainly indoors over the weekend, got quite a bit to do and think we both need to prepare for going back to school! Poppy's Dad is away so I get her all to myself too which is lovely!!!! X

Morning Everyone!

It's been a morning of drama in my house aarrggghhhh!!!

So my tummy hasn't been right all week, I don't think it can deal with all the different foods/times we've been eating, it's just been one giant blockage, not a nice feeling!

So I woke up this morning, weighed in (still blocked up!) and I was 5lbs up on last Friday

I thought I can't deal with the tummy pain anymore, so I went back to bed and did my tummy massage which they gave me at the hospital when I had bad ibs a few years ago. It was uncomfortable but I persevered and managed to go to the toilet and Although I'm not normally a scale hopper I jumped back on.....

......

5.5lbs down

Sooooooo I actually lost 0.5lb BUT I'm not celebrating and am not proud of myself, it could still come up and bite me on the bum so I'm drawing a line and being good again as of today! I think my luck has run out now and I need to be better, if only to make myself feel better!

Thanks for everyone's kind words but I'm definitely back to being good as of today, no excuse!!!!

Lots of Love Serena x

 

[Cas3]

Hope your tummy is feeling better now - the first 5lbs probably was blockage or bloat- so well done on your half pound off- that is good as you were expecting a gain.

Good luck for the new week! Your probably need a stay at home weekend after your busy week xx
