    Wednesday.........

    No mystery shops planned today, so today's MSE stuff has to be focused on the possibility of a NSD. The children are having couscous for packed lunches because I haven't got enough bread in, and I have just bunged a whole load of "stuff" in the slow cooker to make a beef casserole for dinner tonight - odds and ends out of the fridge with some frozen diced beef and a tin of tomatoes with some herbs and red wine. Should be ok with some pasta cooked up with it.

    10 things will get decluttered this evening, after I have taken the children to karate and been for a run with Pania.

    The Dragon - I am a long way yet from Zen like........I haven't even got as far as "tidy" yet :o But surely if I keep up with the 10 things a day, I will get there (as long as OH doesn't bring home 11 things a day in their place!).

    Have a good day everyone!

    hmmmm......NSD has gone out of the window. I went back to weightwatchers :o So £17.95 for the month paid............. I need the discipline of being terrified into eating less for fear of the scales laughing at me each week........I have put on 2 stone since I was at goal, so that is not good, and although I will be running a fair bit over the next few months, I don't want to use that as an excuse to eat more chocolate (who, me?!)

    So, for the record, weight today is 11 stone 5 :eek:. Enough is enough!!!!!

    Hope you're having a great day.Don't blame you joining WWs places like that are the only ones to keep me on track just debating between SW and WWs myself...as DH cooks most days I think SW would be easier for him as he'll not have to weigh anything.
  • Don't worry, you will soon work it off. :T

    Just have a teensy question for you. On my old diary you said something about turnips reminding you of your honeymoon....and then you never elaborated...I just wanted to know*cough*:rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Turnip soup is very good for diets as well, turnip chips, turnip mash..in fact i think i will make some.:drool:

    Not MY honeymoon!!!!! On the episode with Lord and Lady Whiteadder, she said it reminded her of her honeymoon..........you will have to watch that episode to see why!

    Well, I got 2 last minute mystery shops today! So my lack of a NSD has been offset to a certain extent by those. I also needed to buy a new sports bra for the running lark.......£35 :eek: :eek: But I suppose the alternative of saggy boobs would be even worse :o

    Ran with P this evening - we did fantastically well.......making progress already!

    Right, better input these mystery shops, then have something to eat, before I dive into the shower.....

    Hope everyone is ok!
