Woe is me!

I have been a truly naughty girl this past week!

Although I guess I am allowed to celebrate after my Little ABBA’s Best Overall Blog win! ;P

But I have been eating, for England, and not all of it has been healthy! The scales have been shouting at me every morning, but I am rather scared of what it will say this morning!

Here is a selection of the foods I ate this week…

I didn’t eat dinner last night, but at a whole pack of biscuits and ice cream instead! I was craving sugar… and not the healthy kind…

And the painful result of this week….?

I put on 2lb!!!

I WILL get myself under control again, you wait and see Peeps!

Until next Friday then,w here I hope to have something better to report!!!

Another week, another load of lovely food, and a good few naughty treats too!

The weekly weigh-in showed… Oops! A gain of 1.5lb! But no worries, I am still under my self imposed target of 9 and a half stone!

And I am happy to say that, though my shoulder is hurting after it, I managed to get back to my bhangra class for the first time since my accident!!! I hope that a few weeks of dancing will help kick-start the next phase of my health kick, to include a little more exercise!

Until next week Peeps!

Another crazy week, busy, with eating on the hop!

But I managed another 1.5lb off!

I don’t quite know how that happened! I have been visiting the freezer rather a lot, eating Haagen Dazs and things like that too!

Also not sleeping well as my best friend is in labour, and has been since the early hours of Sunday morning… it is Friday now, and finally baby is thinking the pains can stop, and she is trying to bring this baby out into the world today and RIGHT NOW! Been constantly on alert, checking my phone for updates… that doesn’t help, when you a re tired you wanna snack too! OH God! Got the Alert! She has a GIRL!!!!!!

Still, foody pics for this week!

Aside from my news, my colleague recently joined Slimming World, and I am so proud of her, 5.5lb loss in her first week!

Right, I’m off to get happy about my new ‘niece’!

Happy Week Peeps! Love y’all!!!

It’s been another week of eating ups and downs. And it pains me to say that I had another 0.5lb gain, though I am still not over that weight ceiling I set myself!

I had fully expected to to to my bhangra class too this week, but I had some severe stomach pains on the Tuesday which meant that I thought it best not to push it on Wednesday.

I have decided that I have to be sensible now and not buy any naughty things that will tempt me to much. This last month and the munchy madness that has accompanied Pre/during/Post-Easter has meant that I have redeveloped a taste for the sugary treats that I always loved before.

I had managed to wean myself off them all, and kept a selection of treats that I knew were ‘allowed’ for me, but as soon as I ate ‘wrong’ things, I was like a recovering chocoholic falling off the wagon in a spectacular way!

Even now if I eat something I shouldn’t, my brain is telling me to have another… that eating double mentality of mine needs to do one!

But, I have been good too, as the meals below show you!
