Good to hear everything is falling into place for you, it makes all the struggles worthwhile 
A marathon!!! You must be mad :crazy: No more ciggys for you!! Don't want you collapsing in a heap!
Just made lentil hash for tea, done enough for 4 so 2 portions will go in the freezer, made some tomato pasta/pizza sauce to stick in the freezer too and some pumpkin soup but I think I put too much nutmeg in cos it has that weird soapy taste you get if you use too much. Been chucking all sorts in to try and disguise it lol! That's going in the freezer too. If I don't like it as soup, I can always use it as a curry base.

Hey guys, I did kinda neglect my minis the last few days!!! Had a fairly good day yesterday, after I tracked and realised I was going overboard I reeled myself in and only went a bit into my weeklies... Have been smoking a couple of cigarettes since the wedding which is really stupid as I'm running a mini marathon on Saturday.. Just back from a run now and sound like an old hag!!! Anybody that knows me really well knows I only smoke when I'm bothered... And I was bothered by a few things in my relationship.. I had gotten a bit needy.. Which is defo not me either.. So I pulled back a bit... And last nite Pa asked me to move in with him!!!! Won't be until next year as I need to organise my new car and build up my 'running away' money before I make any moves!!! So I can safely wholeheartedly say my head is back in the game.. My head, my heart, my relationship and my weight loss are all back in sync!!!
Awwwww Jo it's great to hear you sounding so much more positive
Isn't it funny how one thing slots into place and then everything else seems to make perfect sense? Hope this positivity continues, it's good to hear x

never eaten pumpkin!! Is it even nice?! Soapy doesn't sound tasty haha.. Actually haven't made a curry base either... One day at a time I suppose.. Don't want to frighten myself haha.. I actually really enjoy running.. Had no ciggies today now and it's not bothering me as I know I'll be wheezing on Saturday if I do... Looking forward to it

Thank you honey! It's all falling into place, I think I had to go through the bumpiness to sit up and take stock of what I had and what I was doing.. I'm just so glad it's finally sorted and I have peace of mind... College now this evening, I've been studying the last 2 days and absolutely nothing is making sense!!! Grrrrr xx

Wow, your day sounds yummy! Thanks for clarifying that a Chicken Salad Sandwich has both Chicken and Salad in it ;-) Stew sounds yummy but I couldn't be having it without Dumplings!!! What's a Purple Snack? X

Pumpkin is lovely, and after some fiddling the soup turned out pretty tasty and it's 0pp I added grated rind and juice of 1 orange, 1/2 a star anise, some cardamom pods and some splenda and it disguised the nutmeg I think the juice should be pointed but for the amount that went in and the amount of portions it made, I think that the pp will be negligible.
I am also intrigued to know what a purple snack is lol!
And glad to hear no more ciggies!!

We don't get them here :-( We do get Cadburys Snack in a Yellow Wrapper but that's a totally different thing! X Dumplings are made with Suet, they go all Fluffy in Stew, personally I can't have Stew without them, they go together like Salt n Vinegar! X
Did u sleep well Sweetie? All sounding good so far
You're definitely 'in the zone' Keep up the hard work! X

Suet is a type of Fat, I obviously use the Veggie Alternative but there is a Beef One. Dumplings are Flour, Suet and Water. I use an Aunt Bessie's Packet Mix as its easier to PP, 2pp per Dumpling

Oooooh exciting that Pa asked you to move in!! Funny how you thought you were being/feeling needy but he must feel the same way about you as he wants to live with you, it's a huge step....so excited for you!!
Glad the studies are starting to make sense. I had a really tough stats and programming class last year and it did my HEAD IN!! The tutor said don't try & do 2/3 hours at a time, just do a little every day/most days, say 30-60 mins & it'll be easier to process & you'll understand it better. And guess what, it worked!!! May be give it a go, there's nothing worse than looking at something for hours on end & not getting it, so disheartening.
Oh & QUIT those cheeky cigs!!!
