Dubs you're on! Exercise it is! I am guilty of doing none since the car accident ,but I'm going to start slowly.

So, first challenge - Saturday and Sunday are 'stride it out ' days . So I would like us to walk somewhere, however short the walk but something that you've not been doing recently. Sunday walk a little further or a little faster.

Monday - advert challenge. Whilst watching tv, during the first advert break, jog on the spot for one entire advert. Repeat for 3 ad breaks over one night

Tuesday- step into Tuesday. So it's the stairs challenge , step up and down the first stair for 3 mins ( sounds easy but try it! )

Wednesday wake up shake up- a glass of hot water and a slice of lemon first thing, 5 sit ups

Thursday either a walk or a jog

Friday - thank god it's Friday work your thighs day - stairs challenge again, this time try to double your time and add a can of beans in each hand

Hi I managed the ad jogging and my daughter and I did it 3 times, but I succumbed to a mini feast of chocolate and a blueberry muffin which I don't even like. You see there was an alien invasion and I was outnumbered so I just did as I was instructed by the blue people standing over me . Lol xxx

Muesli and muller light





Then lunch was a BBQ chicken pitta bread with cheese, crisps, and a chocolate snack a jack, and strawberries






Dinner was swede topped shepherds pie - delicious








Didn't do any exercise yesterday as it was my 12 hr work day but I was rushing here there and everywhere so busy as I was the only nurse on.
Had marmite toast for breakfast , then 2 mini wholemeal rolls with tuna in, wotsits and a cup of tea. Dinner was at 11pm ! Oh my god so I just quickly mashed some potatoes, and stuffed a chicken breast with garlic Philly and wrapped it in prosciutto . It was lovely but no veg etc As I just couldn't be bothered.







Today is Good Friday, teenager is out scooting with mates, little one is still snuggled on sofa enjoying a school free day, other half in bed from night shift. I've just had a mushroom and cheese omelette and 1 slice of toast n scrape of marg.

As its Good Friday, we follow the tradition of fish and no meat so I asked the kids if they wanted fish and chips or baked, steamed etc, they said slimming world fish pie - well that's a first! So fish pie it is, just means I'm off to the super to get the fish. I woke up thinking, oh sod it I'm gonna have a hot cross bun, fish and chips from chippy , a roast lamb dinner Sunday and just be good again tues but isn't that sooooo easy to do.? So, I'm going to see if they have any mini hot x buns and if so what syns are like and if not I won't bother, maybe I will make my fruit teal loaf instead and make them as buns. Yes ! That's what I'll do. I'm also going to make some of the fat free sponge cake and maybe the baked Oreo cheesecake . I'll let you know how it goes.


Ooh linmac those mullers Are 1.5 syns. Being honest I never syn them as I have them rarely but they are my fave .

Happy Easter my little bunnies xx

Add all the other ingredients, mix until combined, then pour into a loaf tin lined with greaseproof paper

Morning ladies...
Well... Forgot to WI after the other morning.. Done it today.. God I wish I hadn't!! Up another 3lb.. I deserve it completely but still.. not nice seeing it... So that's a 6lb gain in a couple of week.. 5 I think... Which is not good.. So now to get that back off with a few friends...
Brekkie this mroning has been mixed fruit (grapefruit, peach, pineapple) and a muller light vanilla with dark choc sprinkles... Lunch will be a ham salad (red onion, lettuce, tomato, sweetcorn & cucumber) with either toast or a baked potato. Dinner is undecided as I've NOTHING in my fridge/freezer/cupboards... Hoping my BF will go to the butchers n pick up some chicken fillets to have grilled chicken/philly stuffed chicken wrapped in bacon, mixed veg and brown rice.. Snacks for today include an orange, a banana and have some red onion n chive fat free cottage cheese and ryvita's in the cupboard in work should I need a 3 o'clock food fix... Hoping to get my lard ass out on at least half an hours walk this evening.. Good stretch in the evening now so no excuses...
