Soooo a nice day with Mum, sis and Ben - worked the horses while Mum looked after Ben and then we headed to town in the rain (luckily in the 4x4) and abandoned pub idea and went to Play Planet instead - food was yummy and Ben had a great time playing - was packed and noisy but good for him.... Then took sis to station for train which Ben thought was the bees knees. Then off to Sainsburys then home to celebrate Rachel's birthday.... Just packed and getting ready for leaving early in the morning and think I am gonna have an early nite as simply cream crackered!!!! Looking forward to the spa!
Lovely PV day - full to the gunnels!!
B - 2 muffins
L - ham and mushroom omelette with salad/ tofu creme
D - chicken with extra lean bacon/ swede and carrot/ onion and mushroom sauce/broccoli/ 2 muffins with caramel sauce!!!!
Naughty, cheeky day with quite a few tolerated items but lovely all the same!!!

Well left Hereford in the pouring rain at 6am this morning and dropped said horse at Newmarket then headed onto Henlow to the spa - dropped into Sainburys on the way to try and buy a pair of black trousers but only linen to be found so ended up with a pair of jeans - nice though and guess what????? A size 14!!!!! AND I had to buy a belt cos they were still loose at the waist!!! LOOOOOOVVVVVVINNNNNG getting thinner!!!
Have just arrived at the spa which is nice and the room is lovely with a nice view but there is only wi-fi in the main house so will have to restrict computer time to when I want to sit in the lounge!!! HMMMMMM!!!! If that's the worst of it I can't complain - this is my least favourite of all the spas Champneys own but it is close to Mum, the horse and Ben so the only option really and I defo am not complaining really!!!
Have eaten quite a lot today already - a long journey in the lorry didn't help but all Dukan friendly so hey ho - gonna play it by ear but probably gonna do PV days till Wednesday and then PP days the rest of the week as will be easier to fill up - difficult not to have the veg here as the protein portion is small!!!! Not planning to do a lot in the gym or pool this time - just gonna relax!!!! My treatment schedule starts tonight with a massage etc, then free until 4pm tomorrow when I have another massage booked!!! YAHOOOO! Not doing much in the meanwhile - gonna catch up on minimins for a start as feel like I have missed out completely in the last week or so!!!!!!!
PV day so far - will update later!!
B - chicken
L - ham and mushroom omelette with salad/ 2 muffins
D - ????????????????/ 2 muffins
SOOOOO glad that I remembered my muffins - nearly forgot my cossie too!!!!! Brain needs a rest I think!.. .Fingers crossed that the horses don't float off down the river whilst I am away......... Can't believe the beautiful day we are having today after yesterday and the rain this morning!

Havin a lovely time relaxing at the spa Ellie!!! Had a wonderful massage (body and head) last night which was awesome and really relaxed me!!! Slept really well last night and only woke up at 8am which was nice - I stayed in bed and read a mag and relaxed till breakfast and then met up with my friend Sophie and we went to a local cafe for coffee - had a naughty sugar free skinny vanilla latte which was lovely!!!! She has just left and now I have my hot stone massage!!! After I will head to Mum's for a couple of hours before dinner!! To update menu from yesterday, dinner was root vegetable soup, cod, fennel, tomato, broccoli, mange tout and carrot!!! Also did have a couple of cheeky vodkas which was lush and may have been a reason for my great sleep!!!! LOL!
Menu for today so far:-
B - yoghurt and scrambled egg
L - ham and chicken
D- not sure yet but will have 2 muffins for dessert!!!
(also have two muffins for snacks this afternoon!!!) YUMMY!

Hot stone massage was amazing but would only go for the back one next time - amazing though! Had a lovely afternoon with Ben and Mum yesterday and came back to the spa about 8pm.... Dinner last night was carrot and coriander soup, chicken, carrot, broccoli, green beans, and roast parsnip - are we allowed parsnip???? Wasn't sure so only had a couple but have a feeling I should have abstained - oh well - not the worst thing that could happen.... Was a lovely dinner though!
Today I got up early, had breakfast then headed over to Mum's and spent a couple of hours with Ben before coming back for another massage - with bamboo sticks -v v strange but pointed out every sore muscle in your body which was interesting!!! Just catching up on MM before going for a shower, then lunch, make up application and then pay the bill, pick up Ben, head to Newmarket, pick up the horse and a four hour journey home (may be longer thanks to rush hour!!!) Had a great time though and feel thoroughly pampered and revived!!! May not last the journey home but nice at the moment!!!
Need to get to the supermarket when I get home as nothing in at all!!!!

Well they know how much I loved it so you never know - would have to be v golden again!!!! Not easy!!! Journey home trouble free and traffic not too bad!!! Ben an angel all the way thank goodness - did struggle eating wise on the way home as I think there was a little bit of sugar in the turkey I had at lunchtime and it just threw me off kilter! Still feeling pampered and ready for work tomorrow though - lets see how long it lasts - LOL!!! Got home, got Ben to bed, unpacked and just made some muffins for the morning so hopefully ready for my run of 4 more PP days!!!!
So todays menu - managed to avoid the veg today so an unexpected PP day! -
B - scrambled egg
L - turkey, mackerel, trout, cottage cheese and balsamic vinegar/ 2 muffins
D - chicken/ 2 muffins
Still loving being a true size 14!!! Starting to like the view in the mirror - still a way to go but coming along nicely..... Seeing the old doc on Friday regarding a tummy tuck - they are really good docs and may as well see if NHS will consider it!!! If not I haven't lost anything and I can then seriously look into trying to fund it myself!!! Will defo give me further reason to keep the weight off! Will take at least six months to go through the process regardless so may as well get the ball rolling whilst I continue to lose weight!!!

I was going to go to my docs to see if they would consider it but seeing as they wouldnt even sign a form to say hubby was fit to race in france this summer ive got no chance lol. if i do have one it will be done private. think they like you to have kept the weight off for a year

Ah well we will see Ellie - if there is a possibility then great I can wait and keep losing meanwhile - if no hope then will look at the other alternatives!!!
Good day with the horses today - nice to see them all again - missed them while I was away - despite the rain which was non stop and annoying!Spent the rest of the day catching up with office work and sorting through things! Had to go to Sainsburys to get supplies so Ben and I had tea there - they do such a lovely omelette with no fat whatsoever!!! Lovely. Got home after 8 so put Ben to bed and finished installing my new iPhone 4!!!! Not any different to the 3 that I can see but maybe I will discover more as I go!!! Full to the gunnels with my muffins as made a half batch slightly differently last night which meant I could have 6!!!! Not gonna repeat that as felt too naughty!!!
So another PP day
B - 2 muffins
L - ham/ prawns/ 1 muffin
D - chicken/ ham omelette (I know two lots of ham!!! ARGH)/ 3 muffins/ tofu creme and caramel sauce!!!!!
SOOOOOOO full - feel like I have been a little piggy today!!!! Must be the ham!

Understand your thoughts on that Sara but I actually don't care what my tummy looks like it's the constant soreness I get from the folds of skin that I want rid of - where ever I am I have to think about having the 'stuff ' (creams/talc/tissue)to deal with my tummy - it would be such a relief not to have it there anymore! Certainly not looking for a bikini body - if that were the case then my boobs would be first on the list!!!! LOL!
