weekly weigh in

So, you would have thought that after last week’s weigh in and being back on the losing track again, it would have given me that much needed kick up the rear, right? Wrong! As per usual, I started the week with good intentions then it slowly dwindled… I have been snacking on rubbish – crisps, sweets, the kids chocolate (I didn’t have any of my own though so that one doesn’t count, right?…). Most of my meals were on plan, it’s just the parts in between I seem to be struggling with at the minute. I did have a push though when …

Slimming World weigh in #57 – the one where I’m back?…

Updated on

…Or I’m not so sure. After my last weigh in I was really gutted that I’d gained yet another pound, and I was slowly slipping back under and losing that 3st loss – I was almost back into the 2st area and it was that which really gave me the kick up the butt that I needed. We did have a meal out at Pizza Hut planned for Jacob’s birthday but I planned to stay on it as much as possible for the rest of the week, which I just about managed. I think once you have slipped off plan for a few …

My Happiness Non-negotiables list

Updated on

I was recently tagged by Maria over at Suburban Mum to complete my happiness non-negotiable list. The happiness non-negotiable is a list of things that we must make time for in our day, no matter what, in order to be happy. I am a list maker, and I even have lists for lists (!), but when it comes to making people happy, everybody else often comes first and I am way down that list! I have never really thought about the things I must do day to day, I just automatically do them so this list has taken some thought. With suffering with depression too, it …

Review | Hotel Chocolat Easter Collection

Updated on

After finally trying Hotel Chocolat for the very first time last year, falling in love with it, and the chocolate becoming my new favourite, I haven’t been able to get enough of it. My husband took my hint from my blog post and bought me some for Christmas (!), and recently I actually managed to go into a shop and I could have stayed in there all day just looking at all of the pretty looking chocolate, but obviously that might have just been a bit…weird. Anyway, when I was asked if I would like to review something from their Hotel …
