The Princess Diaries ♥ 2014 will be the year I earn my crown (ok, Target badge)!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww don't be so hard on yourself, the important thing is you keep coming back & you keep losing weight. You'll do this it may take time but you will get there. xx
 
Good morning diary! How are you all doing? I can't believe it's only Thursday lol - I've just said to the girls at work that this week, even though it's a short one, it seems to feel sooo long!! Can't wait to get the next two days over with and then have a nice relaxing weekend. I'm getting my nails done on Saturday morning and then, since it's payday tomorrow, I might have a drive up to the MetroCentre and see if I can treat myself to some nice things. We shall see :)

Really really enjoyed my day back on plan yesterday, and think it helped that I had a nice Green day. I think that some of what my problem has been in the last few weeks is that I've been trying so hard to stick to Extra Easy, which is totally out of the norm for me, and I think I probably felt quite restricted. I always use more Syns when following EE, as I miss out on the double HEx's. This weeks plan features a mix of Green, Red and EE days, so I feel like I'm back in my comfort zone a bit more. Don't want to speak to soon though, as I know it's only very early days!!

Again, lunch is a bit unplanned today. I'd planned to make some little quiches and have those with some beans, but we had no eggs left! So I am a little unprepared. I am thinking that I'll either get a nice egg salad or maybe have a Mug Shot and some fruit. Will update that part later on!

But for now, this is how today is looking...

Your weekend sounds lovely :) we only live once and time with your boy is very very important. And you will get to target because look how far you've come. You always come back and that is what matters! xxxx
 
Don't be so hard on yourself Hun you're young and in a new-ish relationship so you need to let your hair down sometimes! And you say 'only' 3st, that's a lot! I know you'd lost over that 3st, but you will get it back don't worry x
 
Good morning diary, happy Friday. Friday AND payday, what more could you want!? :D

Even though this has been a short week, work-wise, it feels like it's gone on forever! Can't wait to clock out today and spend the majority of the weekend chilling. Looking forward to getting my nails done tomorrow. It's been about 8 weeks since I last had them done, as I missed my last appointment! I was meant to get them done a few weeks ago ready for going to York, but I got the days mixed up and then she couldn't fit me in! I had been glueing them on for ages lol and in the end took them off completely and just put a little glue-on set on my nails instead. Anyway, they're off now too and it feels so strange to not have nails!! I've been getting them done for almost three years now and have never gone without them, so it's very weird. I keep making loads of typo's lol!! Anyway, once my nails are done I'm definitely going to have a trip to the Metro. I share a car with my dad, and he has OK'ed it for me to have it tomorrow as he doesn't need it. So me and my mam are going to have a girly day. We are going to ask my Aunty Linda (my mams sister) if she wants to come too - don't think she will, but the offers there anyway. Should be a nice day and hopefully I'll get myself a few nice treats!

Oh yeah. Yesterday I was meant to be having risotto for tea, wasn't I? Well, I got home and there were no peppers in, which meant the Quorn and pepper risotto was out of the window lol! Then I thought, oh I'll make some pasta and Quorn meatballs. But we were out of chopped tomatoes too, so that was no good!! Anyway, I ended up having a right concoction, but it was strangely very nice!! I cooked some Savoury Rice in a pan, whilst in another I fried off some Quorn meatballs and a red onion with a little garlic and chilli. Once the rice was done, I added it to the frying pan with the meatballs and onion and also added a little pouch of frozen veg. Gave it all a big stir and just let it fry off and let the frozen veg cook. I added some soy sauce, a little tomato puree to thicken it up and some crushed chillies. It didn't look the prettiest of dishes, but it was tasted so good!! It's amazing what you can throw together with the odd little bits that are lingering in the back of the cupboard / fridge lol! And to think before Slimming World I couldn't cook at all! Love it :)

Have really enjoyed my Green days the last couple of days, but today is time for a Red day. I'm really craving my chicken and bacon salad and (as it's payday) I'm going to treat myself to an M&S teriyaki beef salad thing for lunch, yum!!

This is how today is looking...

Thank you! I love the M&S bites too - would eat them every day if I could afford to lol!

I can't quite believe it, but a couple of days ago I reached 3,000 followers. Totally mind blowing!!

Not sure if I've mentioned it on here yet, but I've also started a blog. It's mostly my thoughts and feelings, some Slimming World recipes I've thrown together and a weekly weigh in update.

I had it in my sig and didn't realise it wasn't ok (as had it there for months) until I got a PM the other day asking for me to take it down! You learn something new every day :) xx

I got that too, and like you I'd had it in my signature for months! Fair enough, that's public to everyone. But I thought you could write whatever you liked in your own diary. It's a bit strange, but hey. If those are the rules, those are the rules! Who am I to argue lol xx
