Lent

Had some lovely pancakes today ... been a bit naughty this week, so that was the perfect end to it, will be giving up Chocolate and Coffee for 40 days.
Weigh in tomorrow and I dont expect to have lost much at all since I've done nothing but eat for the last 7 days ... lol

Pancake Day

Next Tuesday is pancake day and I cant wait to make some for my tea. I absolutely adore pancakes, but could never make them myself. Jamie Oliver;s really easy pancake recipe is definitely the best thing that's ever happened to me. Here's how it goes.

Mix 1 cup plain flour with 1 cup of skimmed milk, add 1 or 2 eggs and whisk .....
Done!!

They work out around 1 point per pancake (depending on how big your cup is)

I'm going to have mine with half-sugar and bananas ... and maybe some ww cream if I can get some ... lovely

Following pancake day I'll be getting ready for lent, this year I'm giving up Coffee and Chocolate again (as I did last year) so that means I need to eat all my rich toffee bars before Tuesday. Lol.

Finally .... 10%

I've finally acheived my 10% target this week as well as my 3rd silver seven!! I'm dead chuffed, it seems as though it's taken forever. I lost 2 lbs in total and weight less now than I've weighed in 10yrs. I'm so happy!!

This week is gonna be pretty tough I think since I'm goin out tomorrow night for Italien food for my friends' birthdays and then I'm going out on Valentine's day for dinner with my lovely boyfriend. I'm just gonna try and do the best I can for the rest of the week and hope for a sts result.

What a result!

I feel like I'm finally moving forward again, I lost 1.5 lbs at weigh-in and I'm dead chuffed, just 1lb away from my10% (20lbs) and 2lbs away from my third silver seven. I am aiming for that 10% nxt week and following that with my 7 the week after, it will be really nice to have hit my 10% befor Valentine's day so I can feel great when we go out.

It's been a while ....

... since I posted, been a bit busy enjoying myself lol.

Weigh in result for this week = STS. Bit gutted, but it's better than a gain.

Had a fab night the other weekend when I went out in my PJ's (see picture), but ended up eating a MASSIVE subway afterwards - footlong steak and Cheese (13 points!) whoops! Oh well, at least I enjoyed it (he he). Everyone thought we were mad and insisted on teeling us we were wearing PJ's, as if we didnt know, also got asked repeatedly why we hadnt got dressed before we came out. Best chat up line : "you're ready for bed, let's go" ....

I did get a number of offers to swap shoes with drunk girls in 6 inch high heels for my slippers .... er, no! lol

Also had dress down day at work on friday, which I always look forward to, I wore my new skinny jeans and gorgeous black top (a prsent from Jason) ... nobody seems to appreciate that I feel so good being able to wear skinny jeans now I've lost some weight and loads of people said I looked nice and slim. Went out with everyone straight after work to celebrate pay day and had a drink in Walkabout. I very rarely drink alcohol and so was feeling a bit drunk after one drink

and ended up ordering a MASSIVE Chinese takeaway when I got home to try and soak up the alcohol. I think the drink I had was called Kopperberg ... like a fruit cider. It was very nice, but too much alcohol for little me.

I'm starting to feel better about work and it's loads less stressful this week, but over the weekend I was feeling really down about that and financial problems, so Jason, my lovely boyfriend decided to treat me on Sunday and took me shopping in Meadowhall where he bought me a new dress (size 16 .... that's a size down) and some ankle boots. Then his mum bought me a bag from Peach that I loved, and finally his dad took us all out for my favourite food, Chinese. I felt like a Princess. I just wish everyday could be like that.

I've got a few big nights out coming that involve eating out, so I need to be really careful with points through the weeks. Saturday I'm out at an Italien restaurant with everyone I did Sweet Charity with last year, then into town for some drinks and dancing. The following Saturday I'm out for two of my friends' birthdays, not sure where yet, but will most likely follow that with drinks and dancing again. Then the weekend after that is Valntine's, I'm going out to my cousin's restaurant for dinner with my mum and dad, brother and his fiance, her mum and dad and my other brother and his wife. Then Jason has got us booked into a hotel for the night .... romantic ( I hope )

Anyway that's me up-to-date
