    Good morning and happy Saturday ☕️☕️☕️
    I haven’t tested my car yet, but have found a garage a few miles away, so will try those if necessary as I’d be able to walk there and back if I’m stuck. I didn’t sleep great last night, but I’m overly invested in my car and money (both mean safety to me and I think I’m slightly warped by past experience 😖). 
    Anyhow, day two of calorie counting today. I’d gone down 3lbs this morning, which is probably just stomach content!
    MrWW has a headache, so we won’t be going out today. I may go for fuel later and see if the warnings are fixed, but tbh I’m putting it off as I’m sure they won’t be 🤦🏻‍♀️
    I hope you all have nice Saturday plans 🌞📚☕️🍫

  • Hope the warning  lights had gone  if you went out for fuel 🤞🤞. Cars and finances are a worry so hope it gets sorted without it costing a lot xx

    Good morning and happy Sunday 🌞
    I didn’t go out yesterday, I wallowed inside with my head in the sand. I will have to today, as I’m back to work tomorrow. 
    I’m feeling that ‘back to school’ dread about going back to work…this is why days off work better for me than 2 week blocks. 
    Yesterday was day 2 of sticking to calorie counting. Not easy, but I’m determined…long may it continue!
    Are you all having a nice weekend?

    Happy Sunday 😊

    Whenever I’ve had time off work the first thing I do when I log back on is book some more time off, even if it’s just a day, so I have something to look forward to.

    An excellent idea. I do have a week in September, but that’s so very far away!

    Happy Monday (she sobs quietly at her desk…sniff).
    I appear to have forgotten half of what was going on before my leave and just waffled through a customer meeting on a wing and a prayer 😳
    It’s raining here, but warmish. No heatwave signs.
    I have booked my car in to the local garage tomorrow and will hike back for work. I’m keeping everything crossed it’s an easy fix. I tried to get MrWW to call for me, but he was having non of it 😢 Apparently I can explain it better even though I told him everything that was happening. I’m a bit of a wuss with garages and anything health related (for me or my car), but anyhow it’s done now.
    Savings always seem to be 2 steps forward and 1 step back for me! 
    Day 4 of calorie counting today and I have got over the hungry stage and now into the determined stage. Isn’t it funny how sometimes you try and nothing sticks and then other times you can do it? I feel like I’m ok to carry on until I hit my goals, even if it takes until Christmas. Actually at 1lb a week it would be more like February 😳, but I really want to fit in my clothes, without buying lots more! 
    I hope you are all having a lovely day filled with sunshine and happiness 🌞☕️🍫

  • Afternoon WW weight is such an issue for lots of us, I always think there is a switch in my brain and unless it's on I just cannot diet/eat healthily otherwise I sabotage myself.  Well my granddaughter was married last week and I wore my ra ra ish dress the wedding was amazing a really wonderful day. I had managed to loose weight would have liked a couple more lbs (never satisfied!) now the challenge begins not to put it all back on!! Will be cheering you on 1lb a week is a brilliant target x

    Well done on your weight loss. I love those ra-ra ish dresses….I remember my 80’s skirt with great fondness, so love seeing them. Flattering too! The switch is a good description, sometimes it’s not switched on no matter what you do 😞

    Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️📚🌞
    Car dropped off and walk back done. Only took half an hour out of work so that wasn’t bad.
    I’m hungry now though, it must be the exercise!
    I’m keeping everything crossed the car is a quick and cheap ish job. 
    It appeared that an elephant wee’d in the utility room this morning…it took a lot of mopping up. Poor old dog did moan at 6.30, but by the time I’d put my trousers on it was too late. She got a stroke and a treat for her trouble, she’s an angel really and can’t help getting on a bit.
    I hope you all have a wonderful day ☕️📚🍫🍦

    I found that with running, it did make me fitter but it made me hungry not thin🤣 Maybe it's time to invest in some puppy training pads for doggo? If you can't find any then children's nightime bed wettiing mats from Tesco are the same stuff but bigger.
