Poor Stef hope it passes quickly!
I'm still a bit squiffy, but better after a three hour nap, really crashed out there! Woke with Orby cuddling my tum under the duvet, bless her
Then finished a free kindle book, Lillian's Story - really lovely book, do read it if it comes your way.

LOL there are loads of freebies online - check out the kindle forum (there's a daily thread on freebies) and sites like EReader IQ.
I read a book every couple of days, but I'm currently downloading about 4 freebies a day on average - the only answer is more holidays!

Aren't they gorgeous stories? I've been cooing away at all the pics
Had a more or less low carb menu today, but just got a few more baddies to clear up and then it's back to lowish carb, I think.

Right I am BACK ON TRACK! Gave my neighbour the lurking bread and other carby stuff, and did the dreaded WI this morning. Not as horrendous as I thought, I've put on just over a stone, but I'm really surprised it's not more considering the carb whale I'd become over the last few months.
Today -
B - bacon and eggs
L - left over sossies and cabbage/leek, with a tomato salsa dribbled over
D - cheeseburger pie and cabbage. Note to self, must get some spinach!
In the true tradition of New Year, I had a good hard think about stuff last night, about how/why I fall off the wagon so regularly - and some other issues in my life. None of this will come as any surprise to any of you, I know, but sometimes it does require some serious navel gazing for the Eureka moment to happen. Obviously it goes much deeper than just not being able to resist a bread roll - it's boredom, restlessness and dependency on food and wine to solve stress and unhappiness (family, someone to love - apart from Orbit natch - and the home situation).
I'm not stupid, I knew all this, but I'm also excellent at prevarication and avoidance, so really didn't bother to string it altogether into an articulate "Oh OK" in my brain before.
So the Action Plan commences -
Weight/health
1. I don't care how many times I've started low carb or any other eating plan before - that's in the past.
2. I know it works for me - just need to keep focused - and please feel free to really kick me up the bum when I start muttering about other woes
3. Exercise - my major problem. I am so lazy I barely stirred outside the flat these last two weeks, but a work friend is going to make me go walking with her at lunchtimes - a bit every day. I have no plans to start running marathons - but it would be quite nice to run for the bus when needed.
4. Much less grog! In fact today is Day 5 without, and hopefully I will find other ways to let off steam when work idiots get me down.
Family
1. Can't change 'em into the Waltons, so that's that. Just have to accept it and move on.
Love
1. Got no confidence to meet anyone the size I am, but that will come. Then let the online dating fun begin
Home buying
1. I love my home life - it's my sanctuary and I like to make it mine completely - but I've just got to relax and know that something in London will come up.
So, that's my plan for 2013 - which sadly sounds like the same plan I had this time last year. But never mind!

Thx Stef, much appreciated - I am a great one for being quick out of the starting blocks, it's the staying power I need to work on!
Found my perfect house - 6 bedroom semi-detached house for sale in Granville Park, London, SE13, SE13 - anyone got a spare £2m they can give me?

Your plan looks great and it's great to see you are back in the losing mindset, go for it!
I can relate to the dating thing, i don't feel confident meeting anyone for a date the size i am at and especially when i was at my heaviest. Especially blind dates, it's always awkward and i always feel like i have to warn them in advance that i'm big and then i usually ended up with the "chubby chaser" types who weren't interested in getting to know me. Anyhow, after my last disastrous experience with a man i'm keeping off the dating scene for a while til my little girl gets older, hopefully by then i'll be skinny too and won't have to apologise and warn them i'm a fatty.
London house prices are crazy, but that 6million place looks good, maybe ask your boss for an impossible payrise (just a few million... not much) ;-) ?!. I want to get a mortgage and have a place of my own but i'm hindered by a default on my credit record from 5 years ago (!), i have another 12 months before that's clear and i'll be able to borrow. Hopefully my income holds up in that time also!

Absolutely! You will find I make every excuse under the sun - and can be very persuasive - but don't let me!
I know, it's crazy, that's why it's so hard finding something for my (miniscule) budget sigh...
Exactly how I feel hun! So that's on the backburner for a while
Gosh I'm starving, waiting for turkey to roast but it's got another 50 minutes to go. Didn't get around to making the pie, that'll be for tomorrow so I can take some cold to work next week.

I know, the prices are mad here. There's also not much feeling of community, people move so often and aren't very friendly. That's why I really wanted to buy down the coast, your £ goes so much further and people there are lovely, none of the frostiness you get living in a big city - but the commute is the sticking point.
I'll take a look at a couple of shoeboxes in London - but I'm happy enough in my current flat, so maybe I'll buy the flat on the coast I like and rent it out until I can get a job down there.
Just had my turkey, mushrooms and mash and it was delish!

Oh don't get me wrong, it's a fab place - I love it, even after 20 years - and it's a brilliant place for a hen night!
I just can't afford to buy here!
