Looking for Slimville!
All bets are off with my planned dinner. Had to phone in sick to work earlier, not sure if I have food poisoning from the roll and sausage at the buffet yesterday (it's the only thing I can think that might have upset my tummy!) or it's just a bug but I'm not fit to eat. Just sipping water and hoping I feel better for tomorrow!!

Good morning 
.
Feeling a lot better today so can get back on track with a normal food plan.Ended up having some vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries last night to stem the hunger pangs. It was the only thing I would have been able to stomach, not too heavy or rich etc. Anyway, it's a horrible day here. Blowing a gale and all snowy/sleety. I'm meant to be going out to post a few parcels today but I reckon I might just leave that til tomorrow. Or see if it brightens up any later this afternoon. Other than that I'm off to Brownies this evening. It's the last week of the new badges they started but if the weather keeps up like this I'm not sure how many of them will turn up...
Meal plans for today!
B - Fruit and Fibre cereal with semi skimmed milk 203
L - 1 baked red potato with grated cheese, ham and tomato 330
D - Fish, chips and mushy peas 345
Others: 2 litres water.
Exercise: Half hour Dance Central.
Total calories: 878
Dinner total is a little more than last night's planned amount as I am now having battered haddock in stead as need to make up calories. Also having mushy peas cause it's been ages since I've had them haha. As you can see I am still falling short on my total so will need to figure out some snacks to fill things out a bit. Really need to go grocery shopping, cupboards are looking pretty bare and run out of fruit. Might need to muster up the courage to brave the weather after all...
Over and out!

Just thought I'd post this comparison pic of me and my boyfriend. We are both trying to lose weight. The pic on the left is us in November and the pic on the right is us on Sunday about to go to the Christening. It's not a huuuuge difference but I think you can definitely tell we are both going in the right direction.

Aw, thank you! I'll learn to love it more when there is a bit less of it haha. Just about to head off to my weekly volunteer work (Brownies) so dinner will have to wait. Didn't plan my time so well today but at least I'll be hungry for it when I get back!!

Totally off-topic post here but hey ho. My boyfriend and I have been together over 4 years but had to move back to our respective parents' homes in September last year after finishing uni. Unfortunately, that means we live just under 100 miles apart and neither of us has a car (I can't drive, he can but no car). Because we don't see each other as much as we'd like I decided to get a personalised creative portrait of myself to give him as a wee valentine's present. I figured it's a bit different/better than a plain old framed photograph of me haha. I have just seen the finished product (which will be printed to canvas and sent out on Thursday!!) and I absolutely love it. Just thought I would share it here.
The artist that drew it basically had a few photos of me to work from and asked me what colours/elements I wanted. I told her I liked owls, unicorns, the colour purple, knitting and crafts and gave her my favourite quote - "To imagine is everything, to know is nothing at all" - which she added in faintly over the background. She even got my sectoral heterochromia (I have one eye that is different colours) which is one of the things my boyfriend loves about me. All in all I am one happy lady! I just hope my boyfriend likes it!
Anyway. I should hop off to bed. Got work first thing in the morning. Night night all!

Tomorrow is the first interview, I'm to be there for 12pm but am advised my interview will be within 2 hours of that time. I usually have my panic attacks whilst waiting for things :/ So that'll be a challenge. Then Thursday 12pm, I'll have a work day with them for 2 hours also.
The picture is lovely, is it computerised or done by hand if so what media? x

I know how you feel Panda. Any time I have an interview/start a new job/have some sort of important meeting I struggle very hard. My throat feels like it closes in on itself and I end up physically gagging to the point of sickness. Not a pretty sight as you walk down the street! Take a bottle of water with you to sip and just try and remember how awesome you are!!
I know the original sketch was hand-drawn, the artist sent me progress pictures. Not sure about any media used but I shall find out! I assume there was something used for the final touches.
Off to work guys so will update later. x

Afternoon!!
Work went by quite quickly this morning. Still haven't heard anything about the payroll position I had the interview for on Friday past. Or the Primary Teaching course. Both said I should know by the end of this week so fingers crossed it's good news!!
I'm off to my little sister's to stay tonight as I am watching my nephew tomorrow morning and it just makes it a bit easier if I am already there. His name is Kai and he is 7 months...this will be my first time babysitting him on my own! I'm sure I will manage though. He is such a good baby. Hardly ever cries. Always smiling away. So cute too. I worry now that if/when I have a baby it'll be ugly and a wee nightmare hahaha. Anyway, I am getting side-tracked!
On with the show!
B - Banana and strawberries smoothie 237
L - Ham and tomato sandwich on white bread with light mayo 332
D - Sister's homemade chicken curry with rice 470
Others: 2 litres water.
Exercise: Half hour Dance Central.
Total calories: 1,040
That leaves me some cals for a hot chocolate later tonight. I'm doing really well not scale-hopping this week!! The temptation has been so bad but I have managed to resist thus far! Roll on Sunday haha.
Over and out!
