Tried out a new recipe on the pancakes and while a little 'eggy' in taste, they were really nice, especially with the fruit and yoghurt on top! Will definately be having again

It's just a pity that the pancakes good work was ruined by wine!!

So I have been camping for the last week. I had a blast! We were out of signal though, so was unable to keep a food diary... And I may have failed to keep a hand written one! Never mind, I will be back to usual service asap

 

[Zann]

Right, here we go with getting back on track. My camping excursion was a minor disaster for the weight loss, mostly because we found a fantastic little cake shop in Hawkshead, Cumbria, that did the most amazing food and, obviously, cakes. This has meant that over the last week, I have put on 3lb's! This has got to go, along with an additional 2lb, making my new weight target 80lb. Wish me luck! I will be doing more exercise from now on - I am aiming for 45 mins, 4 times a week. This normally consists of walking to work, an aeorbic dvd (ministry of sound), additional walks, sometimes a gym visit (we are very lucky to have a gym in our building).

I knew (once again) this would be a bad day. We went to a lovely sunday lunch at a local pub and indulged. I felt I did quite well though - I didn't have a starter as well, and stuck to just one glass of wine while there. All in all, it could have been a lot worse. Roll on tomorrow when I restart SW with a vengence!

My mum came over for dinner last night, so we splashed out a little. Still, I felt nice and healthy, and didn't over indulge too much, so overall, despite high number of SYNS, I still felt like this was a good day... it certainly could have been a lot worse!!
