Sorry to read about your hassles with work. Your dinner of chicken and bacon with philadelphia sounds yum. Must try that! Ooh, you're being very strict though, not sure I could manage that!

You are doing brilliantly, well done on the weight loss
Not sure what ship to go for re cruise next year, Ventura with P & O possibly?
We love Egypt, but mainly for the weather and we love the hotel, so do very little when there!
Let me know if you have any tips re Caribbean
Take care

Feeling really good at the moment.
Got back in contact with a friend from work yesterday. Had been putting it off as she is so negative. I feel sorry for her really so decided to meet her today for a chat.
She can help me chose the bracelet we are getting for daughter's 21st and have a cuppa.
Yesterday for dinner i had stuffed marrow with the bolognese sauce from the day before, it was yummy!
Had SW ice cream made with 2 toffee muller yogurts with maltesers, yummy too!

Lovely day again today, going to walk Holly on the heath for an hour, have lunch with daughter in garden and read my book!
My advisor re work issues contacted OH yesterday with some surpise news.
Looks like they are considering paying me off:as the local paper recently reported, they are paying off potential "whistle blowers".
It's not definate and negotiations would have to occur to make it worth my while accepting, but looks like they don't want to risk putting me back in there, which is interesting! Protecting a bully never looks good
I don't want to go back, it was the principle more than anything, and finding another job!
Anyway time will tell. I am in a better place these days emotionally and "what will be will be"
Not sure Day today, yet!
Breakfast
Just had weetabix crumbled in SW lemon curd, yummy (wierd I know!)
Have a good day everyone

Nikki, well done on the weight loss, you are doing brilliantly.
We are off to London today so a day off SW today.
Very excited and weather is lovely.
Keeping everything crossed for my best friend who is over due by a week with her 3rd baby and there is concern for the baby now (midwife has been rubbish throughout!)
Can't wait for lots of cuddles with her, just the waiting bit is dragging on:sigh:
My poor friend is going crazy
Hope everyone has a lovely day

I am furious with myself for putting so much weight on, and losing so little.
Photos of me are awful, even in my new dress and I feel fat and frumpy and old now!!!!
Back on plan tody but have had a migraine and not feeling good at all.
Everything seems to have gone pear shaped, even going back to work is probably off as they hve mentioned paying me off to my advisor, but all managers are on leave so will be no news for ages, which leaves me in limbo.
I want to scream
Hope nobody is reading this, hehe:cry:

Oooo sounds lovely
I'm of on my cruise 2 weeks today and so trying to stay on plan for 2 weeks, hard but worth it.Had a lovely salmon an roasted veg dinner last night, and then was awake all night with chronic stomach ache :-( got to work this morning and they sent me home.
Don't know whether I'm best to eat or not today.
Have a lovely Saturday!

Feel a bit better today.
Daughter had a chat with me today and told me to forget dieting, rather to see it as eating healthily when I can and enjoy food when I want to. She thinks I put too much pressure on myself re weight,especially as I am not well in myself and it's making things worse. I wont go out for meals with OH and enjoy life if it involves food/drink.
I think she is right and she says my curves are good, not horrible fat as I think
I appreciate her honesty and OH agreed, so did son, but don't think he knew what we were talking about!
I am going to try and take the pressure off and not weigh myself until end on May.
I have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks and with the right outfits I can look good (trying to convince myself of that!)
Hair booked for Wednesday and nails Thursday, dress shopping all week if necessary
