    Thank you everyone 😁 I am so pleased, and do feel a lot better. I can't really see a difference though, though I'm sure there is one!

    We had a nice meal out last night. I had steak and salad and gave the others my chips. I did have a dessert but it was a bit disappointing which was a shame. Back on it today. I'm feeling motivated again, and I am very close to being in a new stone number which will be another boost.

    Not much planned for today. I've told little miss if she tidys her room she can have a friend around in the week while I'm working. She's busy doing that. Her bedding is in the wash, I did ours yesterday. I plan on doing a little sorting, maybe a little gardening and some chilling too. DH is off to the car boot soon. Hopefully he will move some stuff later!
