Awwwwwww. You're so sweet Jules. Thanks *blushes*
However I agree that if you keep it up Pinkie, you will get there too.
Love reading your food - sounds delicious

Thanks Gail. Yes it seems so far away. And given I've pretty much been overweight or very, very overweight my entire adult life it does seem unfathomable too. But I am determined. I'm just over quarter of the way to my target of 13st at the moment, so that's got to be an achievement.

Have you decided what you're going to do at the weekend yet? I'm sure whatever it is it will be great as all your plans sounded fun! Hope you've had a nice day. What yummy treats have you had today? xxx
Well Beanie said he did want to go to the bikes, but has since developed a cold and a limp (?) and is feeling sorry for himself I think. So days out more locally I think. I'm gonna show him how to mend his punctured tyre tomorrow morning. Then drive down to the coast and find a nice cycle pathway and cycle there. I have paniers, so I may well pack a lunch up. Other than that, I've volunteered to do his cub scouts website, so I'm going to rope him into helping with that. I fancy a visit to something too though, so may have to research on the tinterweb. Have to say, having kids is great fun, if you're prepared to put the effort in. I'm fortunate in that he has similar tastes to me. We both like sciencey stuff, he likes a lot if my music and going to gigs - oh all sorts. Kids are just like sponges though, they afire most things. It's letting them sit about on games consoles that's the prob. I limit his time to 1 hour screen time per day, to spend how he chooses. He's loves reading and is great at keeping himself occupied playing with his toys, playing outside, drawing etc. But done kids just want to be on consoles all the time and can't occupy themselves beyond that. Such a shame I think.
Anyhoo, a wealth of possibilities, but as I'm not on call I want to escape the house as much as possible. Hmm, maybe we could finally do the observatory at Greenwich. He'd love that. Then go boating in the lake if its open.....
So my planned good for today:
Breakfast:
Cuppa (with soya milk from allowance).
Mixed fruit, canned prunes (2 syns), branflakes (HEb), low fat yoghurt. Liquorice tea.
Snack:
Fruit - prob banana and apple as that's all they al upstairs. More tea.
Lunch:
I made up a savoury rice last night with lots of chopped green beans added, and frylighted sliced quorn sausages. Fruit for pud. Liquorice tea
Snack:
Yoghurt and fruit. Liquorice tea.
Dinner:
Chicken and lamb swish kebab (I've promised the bairn). Banana milkshake using remaining soya milk (HEa) and a banana (4 syns).
Comes to a total of 6 syns.
Drink: am caning huge mugs of herbal tea at the mo, about 2/3 pt I'd guess. Plus I'll try and drink a couple if pints of water this evening.
Exercise: none today drove to station as have to rush to my parents to collect bairn after football. Ah well, running tomorrow to look forward, and hopefully that nice long cycle.
