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

My tummy is feeling so much better now, I've had my first 2 healthier meals of the week, can't believe how different I feel! Been to Asda to get all our food supplies, no excuse now! X

Evening Everyone!

I am back in control and I have to say it feels good! Today we have been to Asda for our shopping and then just had an indoor day, it's been lovely! We did some baking this afternoon, Poppy made her first ever mug cake and we also made pizza dough from scratch!

Today's Food

B-2 Satsumas (Needed to go shopping!)

L-1/2 WW Korma Sauce, 2 Quorn Fillets and 1/2 Tilda Roasted Vegetable Rice

S-30g Pizza Pringles

D-1/2 Homemade Veggie Pizza (Decided to save half for lunch another day)

S-Know I'm going to feel peckish tonight so I've made a selection up! I've got a NAS Orange & Pineapple Jelly with 2 Pineapple Rings, 1 Finger Kit Kat Dark, 2 Pink Wafers, a Viscount and a Maryland Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie. Once I've eaten those measured bits there won't be anything else!



Hope everyone's had a great Friday, only 2 days left and it's back to school

Lots of Love Serena X

Good Evening Everyone!

Today has been one of those mega busy days, super productive! I decided that we would have a MASSIVE spring clean this weekend so today we've pulled out the kitchen, under stair cupboard, porch, shed and bathroom! Never have I seen sooooooo much junk and rubbish, in the bathroom cabinet especially!!!! So it's all been binned, bagged up or put away and tomorrow we will tackle our rooms, only clothes tho as Poppy's toys haven't long been done.

Today's Food



B-1 Dry Fried Egg on 1 Slice Thick Wholemeal Toast using Tomato Ketchup instead of butter

L-Rest of the Quorn Korma and Vegetable Rice from yesterday followed by a Mango

D-Linda McCartney Vegetarian Sausage Puff, 2 Tesco Hash Browns, 3 Asda Battered Onion Rings, Carrots/Green Beans/Peas/Sweetcorn and Tomato Ketchup followed by 2 clementines

S-Another yummy selection of a NAS Orange & Pineapple Jelly with 2 Pineapple Rings, 15g Pringles Pizza, Viscount and a Maryland Chcoolate Hazelnut Cookie.

The treat plate worked well last night and until my incredible hunger subsides I will probably continue to make one up each night as it keeps my portions in check and I know once it's gone it's gone!

Hope everyone's had a great Saturday, only 1 day to go

Lots of Love Serena X

Wow that's a lot of calories burnt!! I still need to invest in a new one X
I always save a few treats in the evenings- hope you enjoy your last day off xx

Well done on getting back in control...it's brilliant you managed to have a few days off but then reign it back in, means you can maintain long term. I also get that feeling of craving healthy food after a couple of days of eating rubbish! x

Thanks Anna! I've actually enjoyed these 3 food days, I feel like there's soooooo much more food in them but it's just the right food! My tummy finally feels back to normal which is great with work tomorrow! I really really hope I can maintain long term this time! X

Evening Everyone!

Today has been another epic sorting day!

I've mainly spent the whole day sorting Poppy's clothes, it doesn't sound like a big job but it really is! I've filled the whole green bin with stuff that's no good, the blue bin with stuff that needs recycling and about 12 bags for the charity shop! You'd think that there would be nothing left but oh no! There's still sooooooo much stuff, it's got to the point now where I'm just tired/angry/sad/annoyed all in one so I've downed tools!!!

Today's Food:



B-1 Slice Thick Wholemeal with 1 Dry Fried Egg (Tomato Ketchup instead of butter)

L-Rest of Friday's Homemade VeggiePizza with Salad followed by 2 Clementines

S-Was flagging at 3pm so I had a NAS Jelly with Pineapple

D-'Sort of Roast'-Quorn Turkey Steak, 100g Iceland Cheesy Potato Swirls, AB Yorkshire Pudding, AB Stuffing, Carrots/Green Beans/Peas/Sweetcorn, Onion Gravy & Mint Sauce followed by a mango

S-A full size Snickers!!!! Somebody gave this to me on the last day of term, I saved it for an emergency, tonight is that emergency!!!!!

Hope everyone's had a great Sunday, back to reality tomorrow!!!!
