Day 163 - I'm back

A huge apology to anyone who has been looking for my blog for the last week and has found a big empty space, I simply haven't had a minute.  The builders are driving me mad, Lottie has had a stinking cold and things have been stressful at work.  So have I been eating, well, not as badly as you would think and I have actually managed to lose a pound this week.  I am not sure what my blogging is going to be like for the next few days as there is so much happening, but I will do my very best.  We are then away on holiday for 2 weeks from next Saturday, so there may not be much activity then, but hang around I will be back in ernest at the start of July, in time to lose that other 3 stones before the end of the year, well ok make it 2 and then I won't be disappointed.

Breakfast
1 homemade banana muffin

Lunch
Goats cheese toasted sandwich with rocket salad

Dinner
2 glasses of wine and a packet of mini cheddars (was too stressed to eat)

I know its not a good eat day, still within points but not healthy, but I am nothing but honest.

Day 155 - Realisation

Having had a chat to my cousin Barb today I have had the kick up the bottom I needed.  I was convincing I was having a little break but managing to maintain and so that was ok.  In reality I had put 5 pounds on over 3 weeks, so hardly maintaining!!!  To be honest it frightened me, as I really do not want to pile all this weight back on, that is what has always happened, so I had to be brave grab the bull by the horns and get back on the wagon seriously!!!!!  And I have.

Breakfast
2 Belvita breakfast biscuits

Lunch
2 slices WW bread with prawns
Yoghurt

Dinner
Homemade turkey burger with roasted gnocchi
mushrooms and onions
Yoghurt

Day 150 - interior designing

Who would have thought it would be so difficult to put a few colours together and create a gorgeous bedroom.  Paul have given me carte blanche to spend what I like (is he mad) and has left me to it, and can I come up with anything, in a word, no!  Trailed round linen shops, fabric warehouses and furniture stores today but still nothing grabbed me.  Going to put together a mood board tomorrow as helpful hubby suggested. Wish me luck!!!!!

breakfast
boiled egg and toast

lunch
squid with vegetables and chickpeas stir fried
apple

Dinner
chicken sandwich
glass of wine (large one and very necessary)

Day 149 - Arrrgghhhh

Ok note to builder, please ensure the new stairs actually fit in the house before ordering them, oh and our walls used to be crisp white, I am not loving the red brick dust colour they now are!!!!

Yes you can tell I am slightly stressed by our builders, I know they will probably be finished in about 2 weeks but I just can't see how they possibly can be and I just want it all to be over now.  I want to get creative and not just by writing in the dust!!

Breakfast
3 belvita biscuits

Lunch
tuna salad with green beans and asparagus
Melon

Dinner
2 salmon fishcakes
