Hello stranger!! It's been ages but I've not been around much myself either until last week, December was just sooooo hard to stay on plan so I gave up a bit!! I'm really well thanks, feeling better for getting back on it :) How about you? Did you have a lovely xmas? xx


Well good evening everyone!

First day at work survived, and it was actually a really nice day! One of my friends got engaged so we had lots of squealing in the office about that! :D And then it got confirmed to me that I've got a new job!! :D It's not my absolute perfect one, so the search continues for that, but in the meantime I am really excited to get cracking on with this one.... and I start tomorrow!! :eek: :D

Food all on track, and I resisted the temptation of cupcakes in the team meeting this morning, go me! :D

L – Cheese, Tomato & Spring Onion Pasta Salad (A), Apple

Scales going in right direction this morning, fingers crossed for at least 1lb on Wednesday night, but still hoping for the 2lbs!! Have just been very angelic and declined the evening entertainment for the workshop I'm on tomorrow after seeing it was a set menu with no SW-friendly options :) Will save me a good few syns and lots of awkward small talk (I'm not a fan of networking haha!)

Hope your weeks have all started well? xx
 
Thanks Denise! I do my SW chips the really lazy way - peel, slice into thin chips, coat in frylight and then straight onto a baking tray and into a hot oven for about 30 mins - I give them a good shake around every 10 mins so they colour evenly. None of that par-boiling and drying for me ;) A good chip tray helps too - I've got the one from Sainsbury's x
