    Interesting Pom! I used to always gain when I exercised but I think that's because I always allowed myself treats because I'd been working out and therefore making the workout pointless This time I'm eating well and exercising so we'll see what the scales say tomorrow! I really do hope...

    Wow I'm not friendly at 2:30am!! Hahaha On the sofa BF again, this really is endless, I'm so glad her latch has improved, it's not taken us two hours each feed like it usually does!! The more of a routine I'm getting into the happier I am. I felt really bad for being a bit miserable then...

    Thanks Sarah and Hevs. I managed it (obviously). Had to go onto the Internet and do it that way rather than the app. So was sort of on plan today, didn't over syn but didn't have enough super free. In my defence we had no shopping in so unless I wanted to each raw carrots all day (no time to...
