Ah it sounds like you had a fab relaxing day! My day was nice too, had a lovely lie in then took the dog to Bradgate Park which was beautiful, saw lots of deer and the dog was really good. For stuck in a random hail storm and we weren't near any trees for shelter, poor dog got his ears full of hail stones! So we were sopping wet but had a good walk, it's hilly so must have burnt a few calories too hooray!
Not heard from the idiot, he's not heard from me either. It's over as far as I'm concerned, can't say I'm too bothered! :-D

Morning! Well I hate a late night and early morning, just digging into my porridge now and I just can't stomach it so it's going in the bin! Think I got the consistency wrong again as this time it was really really thick!
Not sure what I'm gonna do today, think I'll have a cleaning and washing day, joy of joys...!

Hi shoebs, nearly soup time, chicken tonight! I like the chicken, with some curry powder mmmmmm. I've not had the tesco bars yet, must try them as I'm craving something chocolatey! Think I might get myself some slim and save meals? Have you tried them or thought about getting them?
My favourite is probably the veg soup, also like the chicken soup and the toffee nut bar. Not too fussed about the rest.
My dog is pretty good, generally he'll sleep in but if it gets to 9.30 he'll come and wake me up. I usually wake up by 8 though unless my alarm is set earlier.

Hey Saddlebags,
I didn't buy any soup as think I had my belly full 2 yrs ago when I did Lighter Life Lite for 6 weeks - and I lived on Veg Soup and Porridge plus they have wheat in them and my body is intolerant to it. I've just counted my sachets and I've 17 porridge left and 70 shakes and I'm getting 5 boxes of Tesco bars tomorrow so pretty sorted for 3 weeks by which time I hope to be doing maintenance. Like the sound of Slim and Save-looked at their website and the bars look scrum plus there meals sound good but I think I'm reluctant to introduce carbs and their dinners have pasta and potatoes in them. I just pile on weight when I eat carbs so I'm better off sticking to protein with vegetables. Money very tight at the mo.....my son (yes the one who cracked a bone in his finger last weekend) has had headaches and ear aches since Xmas. I've spent a fortune on doctors, consultants, bioenergists, food allergists etc. and he is still no better so I can't afford to buy any more supplies at the moment as awaiting neurologist app as well as orthopedic app next wk so finances are pretty stretched. Just want to get to the bottom of it as am worried sick. Glad my eating is in control as I'd probably be stuffing my face! Communion in mid May - that will b my first 'real food' day as going to hotel (grandparents and godparents) for a meal but will avoid carbs. What about you? Are you considering ordering some????Your dog is SO well trained - fair play!!!

Ahhh your poor little guy! I don't have children so I can't really take any guesses as to what it may be that's causing him so many problems. Completely understand about being skint though, I have had to fork out for a rebuild of my car's gearbox after it broke down. Then my roof had a little leak and ended up having to have a new roof! Nightmare.
Hadn't thought about the carbs in the pasta and potatoes- think I'll reconsider as I am also affected by carbs and balloon. My first proper meal is next Friday, the birthday girl has paid for food per person so I would feel rude going and not eating. It's Indian food though which should be pretty easy to do low carb low cal.

I know, to be honest I'd be lost without my MasterCard 
Hopefully all the big expenses are gone for the time being. I've put a ban on going to the pub whilst skint and being on Exante, because I always buy rounds and before I know it I've spent £50 and only drank water! And of course I find the cider too tempting and would end up very drunk and off plan! My friends are good, they understand and pop over to mine instead.
Indian food is amaaaazing, you must try it. The curries are in sauces, some creamy, some tomatoey. So they're not really low carb/ calorie. But you can get chicken which just has a coating of spices and it's then grilled or baked, which is pretty low carb, so I'll stick to that. I don't like really hot food, usually I would stick to a korma which is very mild and delicious but also very carb packed so won't be having that! Obviously no rice or naan bread either.
It's a fancy dress party and I'm going as a cowgirl! Really looking forward to it. I love fancy dress as it takes the pressure off having nothing to wear! Especially at this stage where I'm losing weight and don't really buy nice stuff.
Two days left, bring it ooooooonnnnnnnn!!!

I think I'll just get an early night and I'm that tired ill probably sleep through the noise! Got an early morning tomorrow anyway.
I do add curry powder to the chicken soup and sometimes the veg, but it's not nice with the tomato. Think I'll just have to get used to it! Tried it with soya but it didn't make too much difference, added a little lo salt bouillon which was better.
I'll have to check out the arm workout although for me it's my saddlebags that are my problem zone! Have never been able to shift them.
Night night, last day tomorrow before weigh in woohoo!
