    I didn't just walk past the lemon cake that was STILL on the table when I got in from chorus. I get reallly P*****d off, when I go out to chorus on a Thursday, the dishes are always there still! I get home after 10.30.

    Morning all :D

    1lb loss to report this morning..which im thrilled with -after the weekends carb munchy session :o and the lack of exercise... i really need to get my bum back into gear... So starting with a clean sheet this week ;)

    Have 2.5lbs to shift for the may day challenge.... then i will sneak under 15st..to become a 14st something person :j

    Fingers crossed for anyone else weighing in today :D

    meals today:-
    • brekkie - think i will have weetabix
    • lunch- sweet potato slices roasted in the oven with a bit of smoked mackrel
    • dinner - salad with feta and hm coleslaw and will doe some potatoes with hubbies
    • snackies..yoghurt, fruit, or SR jellies mmmmmm
    My mum has just posted me some sugarfree jellies..I can only get strawberry out here..and its my least fave..so i have raspberry and orange ones coming :j ......

    I think im going to sit an plan all my meals for the week... no excuse for "just grabbing something" then ;)

    Well hubby came home yesterday with the most beautiful bunch of roses in a really deep crushed raspberry colour.... they are lovely..apparently he just felt like getting them :D ...they have given a real burst of colour to the room. oh and he handed me €30 -my share of what he won on the bandit :D ... me thinks that will be used to buy garden supplies shhhhh ;)

    Going to get some more planting up done today... all excited this morning as i even have swiss chard coming up in the tub in the window :j never grown this before so won't count my chickens until im harvesting it ;) ...and the 2nd lot of beans/peas are on their way through too..the borlotti beans are brilliant...deffinitely worth doing if you aren't that green fingered.. they go loopy like magic beans :p and the tomato seeds i nabbed out of some lovely plum tomatoes i had in the fridge are coming through -they have only been planted 4 days :eek: .... But so far any peppers i have set are playing silly devils :mad: ..but they will give in ;)

    Taplady.... battenberg :drool: -that used to be one of my faves.... I loved marzipan mmmmmmmm

    Meanmarie.... that pasta sounds lovely... i have some spinach in the freezer....plenty of pine nuts and semolina flour in the cupboard - so i think i might have to get some marscapone when i shop next.... i love pasta...

    Queenpig... I got my last 2 lots of spec of the internet.... mainly because if i take my glasses off to try new frames on i can't see the bl**dy frames :rotfl:
    everything is in fuzzy focus without my goggles on :p .... i can do close up work n reading but can't see faces n things :o . I only paid £20 a pair for norml or sunglasses and with how often i have to change my prescription thats enough to be paying ;)

    well i had better get off and work out my meal plan.... renewed enthusiasm and focus is needed ;)

    Right - have a great day everyone... and keep up the good work :D

    Morning All,

    Just a quickie to say well done MrsM :T

    Brill! Right off to work , see ya later x

  • morning all :wave:

    well done mrsm :T :T you continue to be an inspiration to us all! you lose every week - how do you do it?! ;)

    i'm off doing my first round of wedding dress shopping today :D it might seem a bit early but i've discovered that virtually everything else depends upon the dress (what sort of bouquet, hairstyles, etc) and i have no idea what will suit me (i don't DO dresses....!) i thought i'd better at least get an idea of what looks nice and what shapes i like. altho i'm bigger than i intend to be, i'm still the same shape - i'm quite lucky in that i'm an hourglass (albeit a fat one :rotfl: ) so hopefully the same styles will look good now and WHEN (not if!) i'm slim! thats the theory at least :rolleyes:

    have to say i'm terrified that i'm going to silly in everything and then i will cry like a baby :o - yes i am that sad. i've been awake half the night worrying about it, god knows what i will be like the night before the wedding.....:rolleyes:

    anyway ramble over
    food today-
    b: cornflakes
    l: dont know, i think we are going for a pub lunch in the midst of the dress hunt
    d: potato salad
    s: my dad popped round with custard tarts yesterday, OH has eaten his and mine is calling me....:o

    oh well hopefuly i will burn off the extra cals with all the dress trying-on!

    have good day everyone, fingers Xed for all those with WI.

    Morning all!

    nice to see Frogga here if only briefly!:T

    MRSM - well done on the 1lb loss!:T :T :T you deserve those roses for being so consistent with the weight loss - what a lovely thought from your DH!:kisses3:
    Your lunch sounds really yummy!:drool:

    Back to it today, got a long shift at work to get through before having a 3 day weekend off!

    Food plans

    B - muesli

    L -:confused: havent a clue yet

    D - Tuna pasta bake on the menu at work - I'll be cooking it so need to find a good lowfat recipe.

    snacks lowfat yoghurt and fruit.

    The only downside is we are taking some of the service users to a birthday party this evening so I dare say there will be a buffet:eek: only hope I can resist the naughties!:D

    Hope you all have a good day - good luck to anyone else weighing in today!
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Hello everyone

    Well done and keep at it :) Yesterday I went for a walk at lunchtime (4k) and a run after work 8k as well as quite a bit of cycling around as I had to deliver and collect a few things for work. I also had only 1pint and a gin and slimline in the pub.

    Today I'm going to fit in a lunchtime walk but I'm going in the car to Wales to visit my family so no further good things planned exercise wise but because I will be in the car I will not be in the pub.

    I weighed this morning after a few days not doing so and 61.7 hooray.

    Have a good day
