fingers crossed for a loss, good idea to do success express, i'll have a look at the sticky and see if i can get my head round it, we went to a shop near Birmingham- i'll find out the name for you and the make of the dress. The stir fry was very yummy, we get a pack some of the stir fry vegetables from sainsburys then bulk it up with even more veg- well tasty, hope your getting on ok.xxx

Terrible blog/poster!

I have been on plan 100% since Wednesday, really hoping my indulgence at the beginning of my sw week doesn't show a gain on the scales, I only have 2 pounds to lose to get to my target, I really don't think I will do it this week but I am going to keep syns low and eat super free and speed foods as much as I can, weigh in tomorrow so we shall see if I have managed to turn things around.

I think writing my food diary on here has helped me keep on track to my aim is to post a daily diary again, so I will be back on later today to update you on todays events!!

Have a great Friday.

Friday's Food Diary:

Really lovely day, though ate slightly off my original plan and not sure how this will affect me on the scales in the morning!

Breakfast: eggs, wholemeal bread 2 medium slices from 400gram loaf (heb) grapes

Lunch: frittata: eggs, potatoes, peppers, onion. baked beans spinach, lettuce. strawberries, grapes

Snack: slice of carrot cake (homemade by a friend) very lovely and a very small slice but no idea of syns!!!

Dinner: chilli and rice- lean beef, kidney beans, onion, peppers, mushrooms. Grapes

Not a perfect day but progress is being made, as the old me would have given up having gone off plan at the start of the week, I would not be going to weigh in tomorrow morning. and I probably would weigh more than my start weight by Christmas, when I would again think about losing weight, its not really about perfection for me its about making progress that will last a life time.

Hope tomorrow doesnt show a gain on the scales but if they do I know I can lose it again, I am back on track already and I actually feel so good eating properly and not all the rubbish I used to throw down my throat.

Have a great evening.
