I am now 35, but I tend to act my shoe size rather than my real age...so that would be 6 then :o)

so yesterday was my 35th birthday.....

I ate particularly well, but did not point anything lol.

so lets try to back track and calculate the damage

woke had celebratory can of diet coke 0 points

got to work 2 sausages :o) = 5 points

big slice of homemade victoria sponge = 6.5 points

lunch bowl of chips 4 points and portion onion rings = 6 points

OMG

another slice of birthday cake approx 4 points

butterkist at cinema 3.5 points

maltesers 4 points

frankie and bennies sticky pasta 15 points

so grand total of 49 points OMG OMG OMG

well thats a line drawn under it


I got to my stone goal for my birthday and hope to wear lovely dress for parents wedding anniversary







this is on saturday so will try and get some pics.

I have set my next target. Another stone by 4th july.....this is because, its about the same time frame as last time, and keith and I are going to a wedding together on the 3rd so it works.......mmmmmm maybe another new dress oppurtunity lol.

so by weigh in 29th june I will weigh 15 stone, a loss of two stone since xmas hopefully. here goes.

the curse of march

Well its sunday night in the curse of March....

This weekend mothering sunday (although we celbrate on saturday as my mum has charitable commitments on the sunday).

My sister and I thought long and hard and bought my mum a basket of bulbs, and we went to the theatre to see calendar girls. Mum is trying to eat healthily so we decided against the usual chocs and wine.....her face lit up when she opened the gift, especially as my sis and I had made her cards for her too.

We went to the theatre and had no sweeties....and you know what not one of us missed them. We were so engrossed in the hilarity of the performance we didn't need the munchies. I ordered our interval drinks, and made sure the words diet coke rather than white wine came out of my mouth !!!

But then disaster struck.........

My father and my sister appeared really tired, and I suggested they stay over rather than drive over the penines. They agreed but then we had teh issue of food. I live alone, so I do not carry supplies for 4 lol. Everyone was tired and so I suggested we eat at the local pub.

I picked the pub as they have lots of 'smaller portion' meals and felt that people could choose what they wanted whether they decided to diet or not. I must admit I was a bit panicky....what with them having my favourite macaroni cheese and all lol.

Anyway we sat down, and instead of macaroni I found myself ordering haloumi salad, and my mum bless her, she had a tuna jacket potato. It was nice sitting eating as a family and we all ate as we wanted and the food was delicious and all served as if it were lobster or caviar. Presentation is such a big thing.



So I survived the first of the 'family' weekends in march that usually cause me to overeat....I am convinced that I will have a gain this week just as I am out of my usual routine but I have tried and thats the main thing.

Just thinking about my mum and dads wedding anniversary now. 40 years :o). I hope if I ever get married I look as beautiful as my mum did. (beautiful peeps in top pic are my mum and dad last year on our family holiday)
