After last week’s half expected gain I was determined this week that I was getting that new shiny and I went away from group feeling positive, even though I was 2lb heavier. I think that’s because I knew where it had come from though. I was on plan all week, except for a cinema trip on Saturday when I had popcorn – I did go for Metcalfe’s Skinny though! – and I also had a few of hubby’s Magic Stars. (By the way, we went to see Ghostbusters, and despite my doubts beforehand, I thought it was brilliant; a refreshing change from the male …

After last week’s unexpected loss (as it was more than I usually tend to manage), I went away from group feeling confident for this week, although I knew I would be off plan for one meal as it was our wedding anniversary the day before weigh in. I was on it all week though and I was being naughty weighing myself at home to make sure I was on the right track, which was happening. I couldn’t decide what to do for our anniversary, although it was an at home celebration after the boys had gone to bed as we didn’t have …

A Garden Makeover and Growing Our Own

When we moved into our new (to us) home last September we knew we had a lot of work to do, both in the house and with the land outside. We inherited a lot of land (including two gardens and another large grassed area), but unfortunately came a lot of junk too which we are still trying to clear – I imagine we will still be doing that this time next year! The main thing I wanted to sort out though was the back garden, as the back door is the one we use most so it is a focal point, and …

After my slight (expected) gain at last week’s weigh in I went away from group feeling determined that I was going to get into that next stone bracket this week. I had no plans so there was nothing to kick me off track; that was until I was hit with a couple of low days and picked at things I shouldn’t have been, and then we had an impromptu meal out and I ended up eating half of the boys’ desserts as they’d had enough half way through it…oops! I didn’t let it scupper me too much though and was right back on …

Our favourite five – June | Farms, Parks, and Gardens

by StaceyUpdated on May 16, 2024July 4, 2016

So another month has passed in a blur – where does the time go?! It doesn’t feel like summer as it’s supposed to be. Due to the horrendous weather, we have spent more time indoors than outdoors in the last month. On the few sunny days we have had, though, we have enjoyed ourselves outside doing some things featured in our favourite five for June 🙂 (Though I am a little late as I haven’t had any motivation recently, or I’ve been super tired – both have probably gone hand in hand actually!).
