    I've been popping by occasionally, but just thought I'd stick my ore in to say congratulations LittleMoog! It's a lovely name (it means sun ray, but I'm sure you know that!) I hope you are well after the CS!

    Good morning all,

    Good day yesterday. Managed to stick to my food plan and avoid snacking.
    A day at home today as I'm waiting for my currency to be delivered:D

    Will run later but might have to be on the treadmill as its very frosty here. Hopefully it will be better later as I much prefer to run outside.
    B toast and marmalade
    L mousse and fruit with a Ww bar
    T salad fish and pasta

    Have a good day all x

  • Morning Folks

    Just a quick post this morning as I’m heading out – I needed to use up some lemons so I made lemon curd yesterday……oooh it’s lovely :drool: I could just sit and eat it spoonful by spoonful out of the jar……very dangerous :naughty:, so I need to get rid of some of it – off to visit a friend and take a jar for her.

    I now need to go shopping to replace the butter & eggs I used up making it - bang goes my grocery budget - would have worked out cheaper chucking the lemons in the bin :doh:

    Meals today =
    B – Toast & lemon curd :D
    L – Butternut Squash soup
    D – Chorizo & Bean Stew, broccoli, green beans.

    Well, I have to inform you all that as I sat down to sup my cuppa I split my trousers :eek: I am blaming the very fact that I have my long johns on today, mind you. ;)

    Hoping for 1lb of this weekend but I'm not hopeful as I've had my little ones off school for 3 days and not exercised anywhere near as much as I normally would.

    Congratulations little moog with only putting on 11lbs and having a 8lb baby (plus placenta etc) you've probabally lost weight during the pregnancy-that's amazing! Hope you're both well and dont even think about excercising for a good while after your c-section!

    I will weigh in tomorrow as I was up in the night supping tea:o
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
