Thanks Lantanna, I just needed to give myself a kick up the backside! I am starting to feel so much better. I also take much better care of my appearance now; perfume and make up every day. My husband is loving seeing the new confident me!

I ended up sleeping through my alarm and not having time to walk in Wednesday morning which made me a little restless throughout the day. I couldn't get out to do my walk at lunch either (extra grumpy). At least I managed to beat my target set by garmin.
Today trains were delayed so I couldn't walk in either, going to make sure I walk at lunch though; its amazing how much better my mood is just walking alongside the river!

So I woke up Saturday morning thinking how can I start off my new look weekend with still having something special for breakfast but not breaking the health bank. I remembered reading a food blog this week and they were having sweet wraps for breakfast. I had two wraps left over from earlier in the week so thought I would give them a go and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Will definitely try this again with different variations.

We were supposed to have chilli for dinner but unfortunately the cat got to the mince that I had been defrosting on the side. We weren't too thrilled about sharing our meat with the cat so we decided to go for a healthier takeaway of kebabs. Bit annoyed as was really looking forward to the chilli.
