Oh so good!

As readers of my cross stitch blog will know, in fact probably be bored to the back teeth with, I am almost at the end of my degree.  11 days and counting, if we are being exact!  This means I am furiously writing my final assignment.  However, when I write assignments I like to have a selection of chocolate to hand to aid the thought process.  Clearly that was not going to be an option for this one though so I got the next best thing.  A huge plate of fruit.  It was de-lish...apple, grapes, raspberries, strawberries and I added a banana after I took this photo.  (Would rather have had the chocolate though in all honesty).

In the background is a little water bottle which has our first sweet peas in.  Sweet peas?  In May?  In the UK?  Unheard of!


Well tomorrow is WI and I am not expecting a good week.  My periods are normally every 17 days but this time I went 24 days.  I have felt bloated and horrible all week so have stayed away from a sneaky peek.  I know that if I look and I have put any on that I will just say sod it for the week and eat for England instead! So it's fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Weigh In - 5/514

Really, really happy today - I lost 4.5lbs!!!!  This means that I am now only 4lbs away from getting back to my pre-blip weight which was my first goal set last week.

Some nice NSV (non scale victory/victories) this week too.

  • I tried on a pair of size 20 trousers that I bought a while ago and they do up!!  Breathing would be a no no but who needs to breathe if it means a size smaller...lol.
  • I've discovered I like figs, proper fresh figs.  I made a fig and raspberry clafoutis as it looked lovely in the recipe.  It was gorgeous!
  • I've had a happy feeling in my chest all week as I am back on track and in the zone with WW again.
As always, thank you for your messages of support and if you are trying to lose weight too, good luck!
