First week of the holidays!
Been a busy one, and I am still a little tired!
We’ve been to a wedding, I’ve been back to school, we’ve had a birthday, I’ve tidied and tried to keep the kids occupied! I’ve slept, and not slept, I’ve eaten well, and not so well, but I won’t beat myself up about that!
So… how did I do with the weigh in???
Stayed the same! Phew!!!!!!!
Have a happy and healthy week Peeps!

This is it, the last day of term!
It has been a fraught week, with not the most regular of eating, and a few slips, but I have been good over the whole!
This week, I didn’t get as many photos as I was really tied up with work, and home stuff, so when I ate, I was hungry, no faffing around with the photos! But here are the ones I took!
And this week, I was surprised to learn that I actually …
Well, that’s set me up well for the start of the holidays! I will be at a wedding tomorrow, so no doubt there will be rich food, today we have a shared staff lunch which I intend on enjoying, and we will probably be eating en route to Birmingham tonight too!
And…don’t forget it is the end of the year… the chocolates from my pupils are already accumulating! Don’t worry, I won’t eat them all, but any Malteasers… they’re MINE! (3 boxes already!!!)
Hope you had a healthy week! I will leave you there Peeps!
Catch up next week!

Another week of tiredness, and still conscious efforts made to eat better.
Yes, there have been naughty snacks, and that Pizza meal happened, but here’s most of what I consumed last week!
Was it worth it though?
Well, it was indeed!
Yay!
Feeling more motivated despite the tiredness now!
Have a wonderfully healthy week Peeps, and when I log in to chat about weight next I’ll be euphoric because it will be that la\st day of school for the summer! One week to go!!!

Another week of good eating, but also filled with cake and indulgences!
It was Lil Man’s Birthday so how could I not make and eat cake, and refuse him the foods of his choice?!
But the biggie… the weigh in…
I’m a little disappointed in myself… but I knew it was coming, however, since I weigh in during the week too to see how I am going, I know it is not as bad as it could be…
Aw man!
Still, I can only try my hardest to lose it an a little bit more again.I am so tired from work at the moment. The end of the academic year is a killer. It is so easy to reach for comfort snacks to fuel the last few weeks, and I know I have been doing that.
This year I have also been falling asleep much earlier each night, and I am not fighting that at all. If my body says sleep, I am listening, not even finishing the chapter I am reading.. and that’s saying something!
Sheesh! I must be growing up! Actually listening to my body instead of forcing myself to do things because I feel I need to do them!
Right, I am off to try and be a better eater this week… (she says, knowing pizza is on the cards tomorrow night… Eek!)
Hope you had a healthier week than me Peeps! And here’s to a loss next week!!!!

When I’ve been good, I’ve been really, really good.. when I’ve been bad, I’ve been really awful!
There were fruits, veg and salads… there were chocolates, cakes and ice creams!
And it won’t end there… we still have to celebrate Lil Man’s birthday properly, s there will be a meal out, and CAKE obviously too!!!
But what about my weigh in??
Well, tragedy struck when I realised on Wednesday, that my scales had died! And even my emergency pair were finished too! Dang!
I had to fit in an emergency pit-stop to the shops at lunchtime to pick me up a new pair ready for this morning! (Run = exercise – good thing!)
But with a new pair of scales you can’t be sure they are fully calibrated to be the same as your last. As I couldn’t hop from one pair to the other to see whether they weighed me the same, I was dubious. But my new all singing all dancing Weight Watcher scales (sorry Slimming World, I love you but you haven’t got your own scales!) tell me I was the same as last week!
I’ll take that! Better then these ones telling me I was actually a heifer!
So onwards, and hopefully not upwards!!!
Have a great, healthy week Peeps! I hope to report a loss next week!
