weekly weigh in

After weigh in last week I went home ready for the week ahead and hoping to get ever closer to my target this week. It’s only two weeks until my birthday now, and I really really want to hit target by then! It was going okay, until the end of the week when I felt a bit stressed and like many people, I eat rubbish when emotional or under stress. I just don’t care about the sabotage when I’m actually doing it, but I have mentioned previously that I always feel the guilt afterwards. So I still don’t know why I do it. I guess …

I was quite excited when I heard there would be a newly introduced batter week in the GBBO, even more so when I saw what the challenges would be! I did consider doing them all, believe it or not.

Today is the last day of Jacob’s first full week since starting school. On his first week he started later and finished early so he only did a few hours a day. He was tired then so I knew this week was really going to affect him with regards to mood and tiredness. Needless to say, he has been sleeping for almost 12 hours a night. Previously he was lucky to get nine! He was excited yet a little bit dubious going into his class on his first day; since then he has been absolutely fine and ran in every …

Slimming World weigh in – the one with the reset target…

My loss of 2lb last week really spurred me on this week knowing that I was closer than ever to target. Now I have officially reset it, like I mentioned I was going to do in my last post, I don’t feel as much pressure on myself (from myself!). I would really like to be at target for my 30th birthday though – three weeks today! The last week has been mostly on plan. We did have a planned pizza takeaway at the weekend but I only had one slice. I mostly had chicken and salad, though I probably did use …
