i heated up some soya milk and mixed in a spoonful of instant coffee. Then I added a splash of minty syrup and whisked in a little bit of soya cream to thicken it up a bit - nom nom nom . Might try putting some whipped cream on the top next time - yummy! Xx

I know I want chocolate, marshmallow and gingerbread - I asked them to e mail me when they're back in stock. I got toffee, peppermint and huckleberry - I have absolutely no idea what a huckleberry is but I'll give it a go!! Xx

Never give up
Me neither. Although I'm almost sure that if you don't know how to do it then you're out of luck.

Tired today - still feeling crappy from TOTM so lovely hubby brought me a coffee and a hot water bottle up to bed before he left for slimming world and I snuggled up in bed until 10am - lazy cow!
Was supposed to be going out today but the lady rang to cancel until next week so I had an unexpected day at home - yay!! Just what I needed when I'm not feeling 100%
Going to be a tricky weekend diet wise - we are going out to celebrate FIL's 65th birthday. They have planned a really lovely day including going to the soft play, a picnic lunch, bowling in the afternoon and then out for tea. I'm really looking forward to it as i get on well with my parents in law, they are lovely people and I love spending time with them (luckily lol) it is really nice of them to have planned all this and kept the kids in mind ( I don't know of many 65 year olds that would choose to spend their birthday in the soft play centre lol ) but my "Atkins head" is saying Danger! Danger! Danger! I like to try to make good choices when I'm out but a picnic - sandwiches, crisps, sausage rolls will be very hard to work round - arrrgggghhhhh!!
Been good today but really need to get a bit more variety into my menus.
b: black coffee with one sweetner
l: mim sliced into four, toasted and buttered with pâté and turkey mayonnaise.
d: leftover chicken. Got some asparagus in the fridge that needs using so I'm going to wrap it in bacon and bake it in the oven with a cheese sauce - nom nom nom
s: two tiny sugar free meringues
still feeling bloaty and not looking forward to weigh in on sat :-(
hope you've all had a lovely day xx

Oh I just ate the nicest thing ever.
a sugar free chocolate coated marshmallow from my low carb megastore stash - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so good.
it was only small but it was very sweet so I only needed to eat one and I felt like I'd had a pudding. Satisfied all my TOTM sweet cravings for only 0.2 g carbs - amazing! Xx

Pretty hectic today and TOTM is still hanging around so I feel bloated n crap - wish it would clear off now!
has a STS. on the scales which was to be expected and I'm hopeful of a bit of a whoosh next week!
spent most of the morning painting and then put together my new dressing table which has been in a box in the spare room for about two years. Ive wanted a dressing table for years but never had the space for one so it was one of the first things i bought when we got this house but ive been waiting until my bedroom was decorated to put it together. Once that was done spent a lovely few hours sorting through all my make up and jewellery and organising the drawers lol
sorted out a few bits for the picnic tomorrow - some nice things for me and some POISON ( quiche, pork pie and cakes) for hubby and Jacob.
Spent most of the evening making invitations for the little ones 6th birthday party which is next month. He has been begging me for a party for years and I've always said no because I was worried about having to mix with the other parents. I'm not confident with people I don't know, I can't do small talk and I never know what to say to them so I always feel really awkward ( which is odd because I deal with new people all the time at work and can do so with confidence) anyway this means I don't do the " school gate mummy" thing very well and the idea of being trapped in a room with 30 other mummies terrifies me and I avoid it if possible ( hubby always takes little one to all the parties - he takes him to school every morning so all of the mummies know him and he's good at the chatter - he's the only daddy there so he gets lots of attention and he loves it lol )
anyway I decided a few weeks ago that little one wasn't getting any younger and the time will come when he will have grown out of parties and want to spend his birthdays with a few mates at the cinema or whatever so the opportunities to give him a proper kids party are dwindling. I also decided it was unfair for him to miss out because of MY hang ups.
So a few days ago I booked it - venue booked, magician booked, cake design chosen and away we go - little ones face was priceless when I told him - he's so used to seeing all of his friends having parties and me always saying no to one and i always feel really sad because he always looks so disappointed when i say no. Now he's so excited and has written me a huge list of everything he wants - gonna cost a bloody fortune but hey ho - he's worth it lol.
i think since I've lost weight I've started to feel better in myself and my confidence has grown - things which would have been unthinkable for me before I am now considering and i'm trying not to let my issues rule my life. I will still be terrified, uncomfortable and probably shaking like a leaf come party day - but I can do this!!
foodwise today I have been good :
b. black coffee with one sweetner.
l: mim cut into four, toasted and buttered with chicken mayo.
d: chicken baked in mayo, egg fried cauli rice. Sf Jelly (BLACK CHERRY!!) with soya cream - OMG it was gorgeous such a change from the usual boring sf jelly flavours - I will be ordering some more ASAP.
Worried about the carb fest that is tomorrow's festivities but I will try my best to stay strong - see you on the other side ladies xx

Oooh pics of dressing table please! So wonderful to get the things you want, after working so hard for them - you deserve it hun! I've had bedside tables in boxes for about two years as well, but hopefully in a month they will be out of the boxes woohoo!
And how fab is your decision to give your wee boy a party, that is so brilliant - there's no need to feel nervous, you're a fab person so i say the other mums will be lucky to know you
And it's a wonderful thing for your lad.
