Oh dear, I have toasted myself on one side after falling asleep in the sun! Ooops! After my mum literally this morning telling me to be careful not to burn... :rolleyes:

I got burned too at the wedding, I had sun cream on factor 50...still wasn't enough! I guess I should have taken it with me, I didn't anticipate standing in full sun for an hour and a half while the guests faffed about not getting themselves sorted for photos! Plus the sun seems to have hit my back..who can reach their own back for lotion applying?!!!

Factor 50 and still got burned?! Ouchie! I saw a fab tip on that Gok Live programme for getting fake tan onto your back - a mini paint roller!! Maybe we should adopt the same for suncream?! :D
 
Morning ladies, hope you're all well?

I'm up at the crack of dawn and covered in bite marks thanks to Sophia who decided that my arm was edible this morning and could be used as a means of waking me up!! Really need to train her out of that one...

Today I'm going to get the house sparkling (housemate comes back from hols tomorrow so will be nice for her to come back to), and then I'm going to get my suitcase down from the loft and get myself packed for Ibiza! :D Have got piles of stuff all over the house at the moment so am looking forward to getting it all in one place and knowing that I'm pretty much ready for hols on Friday, as have got a few bits and bobs on in the evening this week so don't want to leave anything to the last minute :) So pleased that the sun's come out this weekend so I can get a bit of a base tan (and get my annual accidental burning session out of the way) before going on my hols, maybe I will come back slightly brown for once!!

I was meant to be having magic pancakes for breakfast but I just realised I forgot to soak my oats in yogurt last night, doh! So need a change of plan... maybe should go for fruit seeing as it's such a lovely day and I had such huge portions of carbs yesterday that the scales are being a bit mean to me this morning at 11st 1lb :( so a fruit meal might help it get back on track for me getting officially into the 10s on Weds :)

Hope you've all got lovely plans for the day? xx
 
Very undecided on what to do foodwise today... have had my big fruit salad for breakfast and had planned a baked potato for lunch, and salmon for dinner, but I don't really feel like the baked potato so now I'm wondering whether to do a success express or red day... decisions decisions!!

Went to Waitrose to get inspired and came back firmly decided on a red day after enjoying a relaxing free cuppa in their cafe and spotting a few nice vegetable bargains in the reduced section! :D So here's the plan...

Breakfast: Fruit Salad (Banana, Apple, Nectarine & Strawberries) - almost had my 5 a day in one meal! :D
Snack: Tea (0.5)
Lunch: Warm Smoked Salmon & Poached Egg Salad, with Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Carrot & Spring Onion
Dinner: Thai Red Curry Salmon Fillet with Butternut Squash (undecided between roasted or mashed), Broccoli & Green Beans
Snacks: Apple, Cheese (HEA) on Toast (HEB), Hifi Bars (HEB), Eton Mess (3)
Exercise: 30 Day Shred (I'm going to finally start Level 2 - have been putting it off for too long!)

Summary: 1 x HEA, 2 x HEB, 3.5 Syns, 30 Day Shred

Now that's all sorted I'm off to make the aforementioned lunch, and by the time I've made and eaten that it should be cool enough for me and my slightly pink skin to get out into the garden for a bit more sunbathing with my book - yay! :D
