    I've wanted to eat nearly all day...last night I didn't have a proper meal because I wasn't hungry, that may have been a mistake...I'm not usually hungry in the mornings.
    So I went off the rails a bit..

    B; granola, ss milk
    S ; cereal bar
    L: cheese and pickle toasty
    S: some chocolate...oops :o
    D: left overs...peppers, peas, pomegranate, pineapple, pushrooms..oops, sorry, mushrooms, and sausage in a sweet and sour sauce, little bit of rice

    Only exercise was a walk round the shops...cereal bars are my new obsession, so I went to get some more while they were half price...and the offer is finished...very annoying!

    Good luck tomorrow everyone :)

    Found some really lovely pieces in there though, and some shoes I had forgotten about! So I am going to make an effort to wear more nice things I seem to be shoving to the back of the cupboard rather than wearing the same ol' tops day in and day out then washing and wearing again! :rotfl: In fact I wore a yellow strappy top out tonight with some whitey-yellow colour shoes and a pair of 3/4 jeans, just because I could

    TG. I recall reading a thread on here in the new year, and part of it was wearing something different that you wouldn't normally wear on a Friday..I can't remember what it was called, but thought it was a good idea, and would make you think about your clothes more. I'm another one who wears the same things over and over, I don't know why I've got a wardrobe really (well actually it was in the house when I moved in :))

    Hi All

    And before I forget......

    Happy Birthday Sparrer...:bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake:

    I don't mind if you don't eat the icing !!!!

    I hope you had a good day...

    I have nothing special to report except that I have finished my top and I am quite pleased with the results... so tomorrow I am going to start with denim... I'm going to rip up jeans that are far too big for me and use them as practice material before I start embroidering on the real thing...

    Food wise, I've been pretty good as I have been keeping myself busy so I haven't been munching... I have no idea if I will lose weight this week as long as I don't put on what I have lost.. I tried on my jeans again today and they are fitting fine.. I can sit with them on and they are comfortable but the waistband is a bit nippit.... but I am quite happy to take them down from the wardrobe door and put up something smaller to keep me in check..

    But the most important weight loss improvement is the fact that I was able to cut my toenails without having to be a contortionist.... I was able to reach my wee toe without risking cutting my toe instead of the nail... :beer:

    So that's about it.... except good luck everyone for the weigh-ins... :A
  • Bit late, but happy birthday Sparrer nonetheless :D

    Happy to say its been quiet here today. Oreo is all but recovered from his episode yesterday :D Went out this afternoon and did a few bits at PO and bought lunch in Greggs :o But we didnt have it until 2 hours later after Mr T's and going down to see to DD's plot with flowers.

    Was so exhausted from our jaunts I napped between lunch and dinner! :rotfl: Must be my age catching up with me! So never got around to cooking portions so will try and do some tomorrow.
    Will get back on the straight and narrow tomorrow also after my binging last two days (but they're birthday blips lmao).

    b - as aforementioned, 2 rashers bacon (fat drained) + fried egg (1 cal spray) and 2 x wm slices bread. chocolatey cereal bar
    l - greggs sausage roll, chicken bake, apple danish (the non cream one) :o
    d - ready meal cod & chips (AND I MADE A CHIP BUTTY AND IT WAS FABULOUS!)
    t - 5 x ready prepped meatballs (warmed in m/wave), profiterole pot.

    :A

    Thank you everybody for all the lovely wishes and cakes. Have to be up at the crack of dawn so have a good weekend, 'see' you on Sunday (if DD has mended my lappy while I'm away, it's not acting as it should!)
    Sweet dreams :)

    Oops, I missed sparrer's birthday, sorry! Belated best wishes from me!

    As for me, I am thrilled to report -1 :D I know it is not much but it is just a relief to see the scales moving again.

    Morning all.

    Weigh in today - 2lb off. I confess I was hoping for more - I had an extra half a pound off a few days ago - but it will do!

    TG - glad Oreo's feeling better: I love your bunnies' names. :)

    Today will be:

    B - two cheese-topped rolls with butter (and that's what happens when I get bored with the normal choices, so thanks very much for all the ideas :)); nectarine
    L - Greek salad with 6 mini seedy crispbreads
    D - supermarket pizza and salad, with a glass or two of wine, as I'm in a serious CBA mood today :o

    Best of luck with the weigh-in, everyone.
    Back after a very long break!
