Hope everybody survived Easter and that naughty little bunny x ;)

I did :D no hot cross buns, no chocolate, and no alcohol. stayed on plan through out, might as well of not been a bank holiday xx

It helped that i worked 2 out of the 4 days . lunch with the family was a success i cooked sw way with no complaints and empty plates all round, did relent and they all had trifle while hubby and myself had lemon meringue. lovely lunch all round. i have realised the trick is to take control and not give people the choice x

Instead of an Easter egg i got a Fitbit, which i am in love with, it counts my steps tells me how many cals i can have ( not really using this but it does reassure me ) it shows me how many i have burned etc. it also allows me to log my fluid intake which encourages me to drink lol( cos my little man needs to turn blue lol )

It tells me how far i walk which is really interesting, if you told me to walk 3 miles i would say i couldn't, but yesterday in work, on what was a relatively quite shift i walked 3 and a half miles with out thinking about it. i beat hubby who deliberately increased his walking. Can't wait to see how it does on a really busy day :eek: i have found my self today walking on the spot when i am stood doing something in order to up the count, but that can only be good :)
