Thanks Mary - it WAS lovely. I've pasted some photos here. The one of the 4 of them was taken outside the courtroom. We took loads inside but on the condition that they wouldn't be uploaded to the internet so I can't share them unfortunately. The judge let the boys try his wig on - it must be one of their more pleasant tasks I suppose! I can't post those photos coz the judge is in them.

So what did I eat????
Thursday 3rd December
Breakie - Usual weetabix etc
Lunch ... ahem! .... Now before I go on - I did tell my son that I only wanted 2 courses but he said that the 3 were paid for so to get them and someone would eat them. I think I knew then that it would turn out to be me!
Starter - Bruschetta (sp?) with cherry toms in olive oil & herbs - only ate half though
Main - A salad with artichoke, caramelised onions, peppers and sundried tomatoes (tho you can take the 's' off the end of all of those words - there wasn't much) a square of bruschetta with slices of tomato and a slice of Mozzarela on top with LOADS of balsamic dressing (v sweet!?)
Dessert (this is where it went downhill) - A HUGE portion of hot sticky toffee sponge pudding with ice cream, there is no way in the world I could have left any of this - even if someone had said it'd make me gain a stone - it was GORGEOUS!!!!!
I haven't had anything since though (now 23.40!) I've brought a chicken salad wrap and a plum to work and I will eat that later but I've been full since lunchtime - not surprisingly - and I'm going to wait till I'm hungry later.
I had sparkling water to drink, I didn't have aglass of wine - I could have but I don't like drinking at lunchtime because it makes me really tired - mind you as I came home and went to bed for 3 hours it wouldn't have made any difference really. But I'm glad I didn't. xx

Thanks - didn't manage it today though - had half a piece of toast with clover.
Breakie - weetabix etc
Bed all day
Tea - lightly dusted river cobbler and tinned carrots.
Had to do something easy to prepare and eat as - since I wrote my christmas cards the other night I'm unable to use my right hand. I seem to have aggravated whatever is wrong with it (whatever that is - still under investigation - latest thought is inflammation of the synovial membrane - it's a bloody pain though - literally AND figuratively!)
Wine night (when is it not? lol!)
Alpen light bar xx

Sunday 6th December
Breakie - weetabix etc as usual
Lunch - shopping in Liverpool, had a BLT ...... funny thing ..... twice this week I've had a meal at lunchtime and had exactly what I felt like. Both days I haven't been hungry for the rest of the day. Okay I'm getting a bit peckish now but it is nearly 10pm and I had the BLT at 12.30pm.
I've started reading The Gabriel Method - i'm not very far into it but I think it's advocating listening to your body and giving it what it needs/wants and finding that to be satisfying instead of either starving it or stuffing it with all the things you only think you want because you've told yourself you can't have them and those things in turn making you crave more of them (sugar mainly I guess)
As I say I'm not far into it but funny I should be experiencing what I'm reading about at the same time. I guess this is what he means by stopping dieting as well ..... hmmmmmmmm - food for thought . if you'll excuse the pun xx
Supper - 3 finn crispbreads 1 with lf cheese spread, 1 with egg & bacon sandwich filler & 1 with houmous.
Ooops - forgot to mention the v&cs
..... we'll see what the scales say in the morning!! xx

I'm quite pleased with 0.2lbs off this morning. Only about another 1.5lbs to get to the lightest I've been since starting LT. I'm going to carry on eating what I want to - what's interesting is that I am wanting the 'right' stuff at the moment. And those times when I've had something other than that my body seems to be automatically compensating by stopping me wanting anything at all. I think maybe losing the mindset of something being 'naughty' and therefore possibly the start of something and instead thinking of it as a choice in that moment and that's the end of it, is helping too.
Whatever it is - long may it continue!
I've had my weetabix with a plum, splenda & skimmed milk & I'm going to try to put the Christmas decs up today. I say try because I still don't have much use in my right hand. DH has had to go to work today (doesn't normally go in on a monday) and has made me -promise not to over do it - ah bless!
See ya later!! xx
