Super proud of myself for yesterday- we were enjoying the sunshine in our garden and I couldn't be bothered to cook (and fancied pizza!) so I almost ordered takeaway but I didn't 
Having bulk cooking in the freezer is soooo handy!
Plus we are at the in-laws from Thursday so expecting to be eating out/ takeaway then (plus prosecco with my mother-in-law!) They take our visits as an excuse to go wild themselves!!

L- Multigrain ryvita (hexb) topped with 3 LC triangles (part hexa) and cucumber. Apple. Strawberries. Boiled eggs. Muller light. Cheetos (3.5syns)

Today I did something I swore I would never do... I spent £3.50 on the infamous Choc Shot. Mother in law had some when we visited (also a SW-er) and I wanted to try some before purchasing because I've read mixed reviews. I liked it- but then I like really dark, bitter chocolate! If you like sweet chocolate then probably not a good buy!!
Unexpectedly sunny day (was forecast to be overcast but not a cloud in the sky!) So lovely afternoon in the garden with my boys!!

Hi Lisa! Hope you're doing well- you seem to be staying on track and updating which is always a positive!
Your food sounds and looks lovely, the freezer meals are such a life saver. I've still got a few bits in mine though I need to get back into the habit of cooking!
Going to pop over to my diary and do an update, it's been a while... Hope the boys & hubby are OK too xx

Fell off the wagon big time but I'm ready to get back to losing these extra pounds (and stone gulp!)
Had an eventful month- Riley had his first birthday and then we went to Butlins for tots week and had an awesome time! My boys were completely spoilt!
Unfortunately on the way home we broke down on the motorway and our 6 year old car had to have a complete engine replacement Cost a lot of money that we don't have to spare but we need a car... Took 3 weeks for it to be repaired (we only got it back this past week!) A lot of stress and anxiety- especially because i went back to work the week after it happened. I have been really anxious about returning to work and had a mini breakdown about leaving Riley when he is having separation issues and not being home to put the boys to bed. Thankfully Riley has coped well with spending time with his grandparents- despite us struggling using buses and getting into a routine.
Things have calmed down now- I applied for a position within our admin department (back office and finance work) and I got it So that's made me so much more comfortable with work- it honestly felt like an alien environment because staff turnover in the call centre has been so high, which didn't help me settle. Plus they did push me to get back to my normal duties even though I wasn't ready Anyone who read my previous food diaries will understand my work are not helpful with health issues...
Dieting has been towards the back of my mind but I've been on and off for the past week and am starting to get in the mindset! The beautiful weather helps as I start wanting salads!!
