Evening Everyone!

Today didn't quite go to plan, the weather meant the Picnic/Sports Day got cancelled! The Dance Workshop was FAB, had so much fun! I then got asked to go to the Nursery, it was very last minute but I loved it, spent the rest of the day there!

We don't have School tomorrow as its Inset Day and I don't need to work it, yippee! We decided to have takeaway tonight, yes it's WI tomorrow but what will be will be, we fancied it, we had it, it's life!

Today marks 6 (Yes SIX!) months of being binge and alcohol free, now one takeaway doesn't seem a big deal in the grand scheme of things, previously it was a near on daily occurrence in one form or another!

Today's Food



B-Crumpet, Egg, Beans & Tomatoes

L-Sandwich (2 X Hovis Wheatgerm 400g, 3 Quorn Slices, Mustard Piccalli & Lettuce), Cucumber/Pepper/Tomato, Pom Bears Original, Babybel Light, Apricot Petit Filous & Apple

D-9" Vegetarian Hot Pizza & Chips

Will update with my WI result in the morning.

Lots of Love Serena x

Morning Everyone!

Half a Pound off at WI, really really happy with that as I see that as a STS, I don't think it's realistic to be the exact same weight every week.

Happy Friday Everyone! No work for me, yippee!

Lots of Love Serena X

Morning Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of update yesterday but it turned into a proper full on day off!

We were going to London but the weather was icky so we decided not to waste tonnes of money with unreliable weather and went to Bluewater instead!

We had Morning Cake and Drinks at John Lewis, walked round the shops and then Poppy chose Yo Sushi for lunch as its her absolute favourite! We then got our Asda Shopping on way home, watched a movie together (whilst eating PB Magnums!), I did all the ironing from the line as it was dry and then ended up having an Indian Takeaway! So lots of eating But do u know something? I loved it! It was MY day with Popsicle, didn't has to share it with anyone and it was lovely!

Yesterday's Food



B-Fried Egg Sandwich made with 2 Hovis Wheatgerm 400g Bread, 1 Egg & Tomato Ketchup instead of butter

S-1/2 John Lewis Triple Chocolate Muffin

L-YO SUSHI-Inari Pocket, Tamago Nigiri, Kaiso Gunkan, Avocado Maki, 1/2 Edamame Beans (No pic), Potato Salada & 1/2 Plan Noodles (No pic)

It was a lovely day off, today we will be out all day so making a big packed lunch to take, will hopefully have some special news to share later!

So Saturday was quite another food heavy day I have to say I'm quite enjoying life tho and I still feel like I'm keeping my portion sizes in check? I know the old me would definitely have had much more buffet food but I chose as best I could and enjoyed what I had rather than just piling it up!!!!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Lots of Love Serena x

Thanks for your kind words sweetie, I don't think I scrub up too badly for nearly 32 I think it's not until I go out and get all dressed up that I realise how far I have come.

I made this comparison up to show someone the other day:



It made me realise just how far I've come! X

 

[Cas3]

That's such a difference you need to do a success story xx

 

[Mini]

Thanks Maybe one day I will share my story with a wider audience than just Minis, I do often give people tips and hints about weight loss, maybe I did miss my vocation, I should of been a lifestyle coach!!!! X
