Didn't Kate look lovely? Beautiful dress! It's my mum's birthday tomorrow and she's having a last minute dinner do. I might take the day off or make it a flexi day, depending on what's on offer. I just don't want to go go overboard and undo my loss. :fingerscrossed:

Saturday was relatively okay. Plus, I got some body magic in the form of overtime at work! I normally hobble up stairs, but I'm just that little bit quicker on my feet these days...:giggle:
I'm pain and (almost) hayfever free! Curvalicious, :hug99: I feel you with the hayfever and I know how falling off the wagon can be...I'm glad your back on track. I'm seriously hunting these cordials now, they've been out of stock twice now, not that I'm surprised with the nice bank holiday weather we're experiencing.
I just realised I didn't have my HEX's today....whooooops, not like me at all. I spent a majority of the day out, so I didn't want to risk guessing amounts etc.

Auburn, that's my new thing...if I have too many goodies at home, I share, lol! At least that way I know it's gone, not hiding in my fridge planning a conspiracy to pounce on me when I'm having an iffy day! You know those treats can be evilllll
I'm chuffed, lost 3½lbs tonight, and met my first goal - to lose 2 weeks in a row!! I am aiming to lose (or STS) every week in May and break the crazy yo-yo chain. Second goal is to get my 4st shiny, which is just TWO POUNDS away! :bliss:

Thursday, 5th May 2011: **Green day**
Breakfast
None
Brunch
Onion omelette
Boiled potatoes
Lots of boiled carrots
Baked beans
Dinner
My idea of comfort food:
Toss boiled potatoes in a bit of watered down bovril (chicken) and throw in a frying pan with chopped onions. Fry until golden brown-ish (I'm gonna try this topped with passata and cheese one day, I think it'll be nice)
Boiled eggs
Snacks
4 Slices of WW thick wholemeal bread (2 x HEXb)
3 Tsp of Clover lighter (3 syns)
1 Multipack Mars bar (12 syns)
Drinks
250ml semi-skimmed milk for decaf tea (HEXa)
Diet cola with almond
