Evening everyone
Saver, sorry to hear your bad news! Must be very hard to pretend to be happy at work after having such devastating news.
My plan for today
B yoghurt, apple, tablespoon of cereals
L pasta with vegetables left over from yesterday
D risotto, cucumber
S cookies, mandarines
Drinks not enough.... Having a slight headache, so know what will be the plan for tonight; getting a liter of water down.
Will spend the evening trying to finish my knitting and cuddling with the cats. One of them already settled next to me. And trying to figure out what I need from IKEA, will go there on Friday and will try to go in with a shopping list and try not to buy unnecessary things while trying to make sure that I buy the things I need and don't have to go back anytime soon.
Have a nice eveningFashion on the Ration 2022: 5/66 coupons used: yarn for summer top 5 /

Replace ham and add (depends on size)- 1 or 2 large can(s) of dry cider
- 2 tablespoons of black treacle
- Juice from a tin of pineapple (keep pineapple for serving)

Hi all
Firstly apologies for being AWOL for a few days, it's been a bit crazy in my little world .
Hugs to all those that need them :grouphug:
So had my first weigh I this morning (I joined the challenge last Friday So hope that's ok) and I have lost 1lb.
A little disappointed to be honest but I have never had big losses in fact my biggest weekly loss when at SW was 3lb. I did have a rather heavySaturday night last week so hoping its that:o
Anyhow 1lb off is better than nothing, so onwards and upwards.
My little challenge to myself this week is to increase my exercise:eek:
