If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

Glad you had a good time on trip it probably make your week go bit faster and at least the weather was bit better today X

Your food don't seem to bad as long as your eating well x

Thanks Hun, maybe I'm just being too hard on myself, typical me! X
 
Evening Everyone!

Today has been a very HOT day, couldn't wait to get home and relax in the garden!!!

I haven't felt brilliant today, I nearly came home from work but soldiered on and made it to the end. In agony with my tummy now though :(

It was my immediate boss' 30th birthday today so it was cakes/cookies/doughnuts galore, I think I was very restrained!

Today's Food

B-Crumpet, Egg, Beans, Plum Tomatoes

L-Sandwich (2 Slices Hovis Wholemeal 400g, 3 Quorn Slices, NY Deli Pickle & Lettuce), Cucumber/Pepper/Tomato, French Fries Worcester Sauce, Babybel Light, Strawberry Petit Filous & 2 Satsumas

S-Chose a Raspberry Jam Doughnut from the HUGE selection, it was sooooo good!

D-Linda McCartney Sausage Roll, Iceland Cheesy Potato Swirls, Aunt Bessie Yorkshire Pudding, Aunt Bessie Stuffing Ball, Carrots/Green Beans/Peas/Sweetcorn & Mint Sauce

S-Plan to have a kiwi if I'm peckish later!

Tomorrow is WI, I know I will definitely have a gain, hopefully it's not too much of one.

Hope everyone's had a great Thursday, thank crunchie tomorrow is Friday!

Lots of Love Serena x
 
Aww hope you feel better soon you get a lot of troubles with your tummy. Relaxing in the garden sounds so nice we still need to sort ours out although the Trampolene takes up most of it now!

It must hard working in your school with all these birthdays- I wish I was only 30!

Good luck tomorrow- you always do well xx

I forgot to say I did have a Strawberry Ice Pole in the garden, totally forgot about that! I hate the Staff Room for all the goodies, people get offended when u don't tuck in! I did take a Cookie but it's Poppy's favourite so I let her have it after school. Aren't I a good mummy! I think my luck has definitely ran out for WI but I'd like a minimal gain if possible! X
 
That's what I would do take something I know the girls would enjoy but it is hard saying no all the time.

I think your be fine more is usually more for you but if you do gain hope it's only a tiny half pound xx

I'm liking the half a pound up idea, that would be great!!!! I've given Poppy quite a few of treats this week but the doughnut did sneak in today, I just needed that sugar pick me up! Felt so weak and woozy in the heat with the amount of blood I'm losing x
 
Morning Everyone!

As predicted it was a gain at WI, 1lb on for me this week! It was no surprise to me, I'm iust glad it wasn't more!!!!

I think on reflection, work/tiredness just took over this week and I became lazy, too many treats throughout the week not just at the weekend and my health hadn't been great. All things combined i think I got off lightly with 1lb on!

My plan of action for this week is to try and have a 3:4 week, I want to enjoy my weekend as I've definitely earned it this week but then Monday-Thursday I will try to stick to 3 good sized meals and limit my snacking.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Lots of Love Serena X
 
Morning Serena,

I didn't think you would gain but 1lb isn't much at all- well done it could of been alot more!! It's amazing that we over half way through the year and you've only had 1 gain :)

I love your plan of action sounds great, I'm aiming my to do pretty much the same x

I do feel quite proud of myself, I think this time around has been soooooo different and it's showing in how well it's going. X
 
Evening Everyone!!!

So today has been MANIC! I worked the morning in Year R and then the afternoon at the Nursery in the Baby Room! It was a day of 2 halves but it flew by and then it was the end of the day yippee! Went to Morrisons for Food Shopping as I had coupons/offers to take advantage of, made a nice change to Asda.

I also had a very special treat from Starbucks, a FREE Double Chocolate Chip Cream Mini Frappucino, it was amazing and tasted even sweeter knowing it was free!!!

B-Wholemeal Finger Roll (No Crumpets Left!), Egg, Beans, Plum Tomatoes

L-Sandwich (2 Slices Hovis Wholemeal 400g, 3 Quorn Slices, Mustard Piccalilli & Lettuce), Cucumber/Pepper/Tomato, French Fries Worcester Sauce, Babybel Light, Apricot Petit Filous & 2 Satsumas

D-A very hearty bowl of Fresh Gnocchi with Roasted Vegetable Sauce sprinkled with grated cheese

S-Previoisly mentioned Starbucks and fruit later if I fancy it

I think I did 'OK' for a Friday, I probably didn't need the Starbucks but I couldn't resist a freebie!!!!

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

Lots of Love Serena x
 
Very busy day - did you enjoy working with the lo's today. Your food looks great- yay to the free Starbucks xx

Gotta love a freebie!!!! Tomorrows Freebie will be £3 of items from Holland and Barrett so I need to choose wisely! I really enjoyed my afternoon, it was challenging in different ways but I loved it! I'm so grateful for all the opportunities I'm given as its adding strings to my bow. X
 
Morning Everyone!

Just to say that I'm feeling much better this morning, one day of being good and I've been to the loo! Yippee! Feeling a lot less bloated too which is a nice feeling. I think I just have to admit that the healthier/cleaner food definitely agrees with me more!

Have got a busy Saturday planned, we are going to have Weekend Breakfast at home, put washing out on the line, get ready, walk to town and have a look round the shops and eat lunch at the Cafe (Will choose wisely to avoid tummy problems), watch Secret Life of the Pets at the Cinema and then watch the Carnival before walking home!

So looking forward to our day :)

Just hope the weather holds as I feel like I need this downtime today!

Have a great Saturday!

Lots of Love Serena x
 
Evening Everyone!

What a lovely day :D

Had a look round the shops, had a very yummy lunch at the cafe, watched 'The Secret Life of the Pets' which was AWESOME, watched the carnival which was better than previous years, just walked home and made a Saturday Night Fakeaway!

Today's Food:

image.jpeg

B-30g Nestle Cheerios Cinammon Oat Crisp, 85g Total 0% Yogurt, Clementine, Kiwi & Strawberries

L-Shared a Veggie Brunch with Poppy so I had 2 Fried Eggs, 1 Hash Brown, 1/2 Veggie Burger, Beans, Mushrooms & Tomatoes

S-Cinema Snack of small bag of Dry Roasted Peanuts, not the greatest choice but I wanted something to munch on!

D-Saturday Nighy Fakeaway of 2 Wholemeal Pitta Breads, 113g Grilled Halloumi Cheese, Cucumber/Lettuce/Pepper Tomato. OMG this was amazing, can't believe how yummy it was! Can't wait to have the other half next weekend! Lol

Ok so today's food has been quite vast and rich BUT I think considering I was surrounded by the Town/Festival of Food/Cinema/Carnival all day I think I did ok!!!!

Hope everyone's had a great Saturday,

Lots of Love Serena x
 
Glad you had a lovely day your fake away sounded good! Xx

It was soooooo yummy! I've put the other half of the Halloumi and Pitta Breads in the Freezer ready to use next weekend. X
 
Morning Everyone!

I was just so rock and roll last night! I spent my Saturday Evening cleaning my oven, wanted to get it done and don't get any other time to do it!!!! My top tip is to clean it with shaving foam, it's amazing!!!! It only cost 95p which is a whole lot cheaper than oven cleaner, there's no chemicals or nasty smell involved AND it's a really speedy process!!!! You literally just spray on, leave for around an hour (any longer won't hurt though as its not chemicals) and then wipe off with a sponge or cloth dipped in hot water, no scrubbing required!!!!

Doesn't it look fab!!!!

So today is Fathers Day, my Dads choice so we are off to Whitstable to look round the shops and eat chips on the beach! The forecast looks warm so hopefully we are in for a nice day.

Here's a virtual card I made for my Dad:

I've always been very close to my Dad so Father's Day is especially important for us.

Hope that everyone has a great Sunday, whether your Dads are with you or no longer with you I hope that the day brings joy to heart in some sort of way.

Lots of Love Serena x
