As for Hotel Chocolat, I think it is worth spending a bit extra if you are limiting the amount you have, makes it more special and delicious
Morning
Had a hectic end of the week. Only survived Friday by pre-ordering an Apple Watch to cheer myself up. Have got an appointment later on this morning to actually go and try one on. Lets hope I like it after all:8855:
Had an email from Apple about the new watch-got the app on my phone already- but not too sure about them- hope it's good?!
Had a relaxing evening last night looking at the House of Fraser sale online trying to find a suitable dress for the wedding at the end of the month. Its tricky as found a couple I like but not sure which size to order as all the different brands seem very different. Although I'm delighted to have choice it was slightly easier when I could shop in Evans or Yours!!
Sizes with clothes is def trial error they're all different
I was bit rubbish yesterday morning and wimped out on my HIIT session. It was very foggy when I woke up. I ran once before in fog and got quite freaked out. I run before its light so tend to be a bit vigilant about if anyone else around or near me. But when I went out in fog it was impossible to tell and eerily quiet. Decided I would be better to skip it and stay safe. Then hilariously this morning because I was running in the daylight I skipped the HIIT as didn't want people to see me doing my Usian Bolt impression followed by wheezy sweaty mess in the recovery bits![]()
So I went for a normal 3.5 mile steady run which was lovely. My Nike + app often has a famous sports person giving you a positive comment at the end. And this morning it was the lovely Rafa Nadal which made my day :love:
Best to stay safe out of the fog -also had the nike app on my phone but have ever used it
I walked past the 24 hour gym the other day thinking of going in for a look but got put off when there was a buff man & a skinny bird on the desk! Might try again today when I walk back from the city after my try on appointment.
Be brave!
I ate the raspberry egglets - was very controlled had three on Thursday night and three last night. There were scrummy. Have sketched my food plan for the week and hope to get to try the pecan ones soon but have a lunch out today and possibly tomorrow too so may need the Syns for that.
:drool:raspberry egglets.....
Hope everyone has a fab weekend planned x
Had 3 NSVs today
Bought a dress (more likely to wear as tunic over jeans or leggings as short!) in last knockings of M&S sale. Tried in two sizes and went for smaller one even though a little snug at the moment. When I was buying it the lady said how lovely it was and that one of her colleagues had worn it. SHe then said (spontaneously) but she's lovely and slim like you![]()

I wanted to cry / lean over and kiss her. For complete stranger who knows nothing about my weight issues to just pass a comment like that was amazing. Its so odd as I still see myself as fat. I still struggle going into cool normal shops (spend about 20 seconds in French Connection today!)
Oh wow, Awesome!....Think i ''would'' have kissed her!
Then faced my demons and went to visit and have a look around the gym - this was a sort of victory cause although I went there was no-one there to show me around. Even though on their website it says manned between 8-6pm at weekend there was a poster up saying only someone there to show people round between 9-12 on a SaturdaySo will aim to go on my day off next week!
Do go!
The third one was a nice one - walked off to the shop to get some tonic and got chatted up in the alcohol aisle. Was quite an attractive man too. Suspect he may have be drunk alreadyarty0016: :crazy:
hehehe......he's obviously noticed that you're now sexy!![]()
after all this today, i would imagine you're on a real high?...i would be! ...well done!
Have lovely scrummy chinese fakeaway planned for tea![]()

I think in a way, losing the weight is the easy part. It is changing our feelings/attitude towards food and ourselves that is the difficult part. It is pretty much impossible to be completely free from temptation, unless you go off into the wild and become self-sufficient. But hopefully the longer we follow SW, the easier it will get, and we can live our lives slim, while still enjoying the treats we love.
Carpe diem babes - go to the seaside!!!!! Cleaning can be done later (or in my case, never)!
Thanks ladies - as ever the joy of people here on Minis really understanding what's going on in my brain. Although slightly worrying that you all have that power too. Means there are lots of fellow weirdos out there![]()
You've inspired me to do the hoovering and tackle some of the dust bales lying around the flat - now that I've got my fab cordless vacuum the least I can do is actually use it...![]()
Hey Shelley, just been having a catch up on your diary. So chuffed for you hun, you've had two more fab losses while I've been away, got your 11st award and had some amazing nsv moments that were very well deserved!
You have amazing willpower where Hotel Chocolat chocs are concerned cos if I open them they all get eaten so I have to steer clear when on plan but oh, I do love them
Methinks you should get yourself to the seaside this aft and enjoy yourselfxx
Its windy but sunny here, hope you make it to the seaside. You have done SO well hun xxx
My friends decided long ago that I am a total weirdoAnd to be honest I am inclined to agree! I am proud of my weirdness
Did you get to the beach? It is a lovely day for it. You were very productive this morning, so I think you have earned it! You've put me to shame lol.
I'm so sorry I did that![]()
