Sweets, Treats, and Temptations...

This week's eating plan is super strict.

3 meals, each 300 calories, plus my little nibbly bits of pepper. To give you an example of what that actually means, my lunch today was a hard boiled egg and slice of wheat free bread. Wheat free bread is tiny, btw

I gotta be honest, it's not that easy. On the plus side, I'm anticipating a big loss this week...

But there've been a couple of birthdays in the office, so just opposite where I sit is a whole load of homemade cookies, cakes and treats.

I've managed to resist so far, but as my tummy starts rumbling, it's becoming more and more difficult...

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

My brother in law did the London to Brighton bike today, so we headed down there to cheer him on and spend some time by the seaside.

We stood by the side of the road for four hours, only to discover that we weren't going to see him before we needed to leave to get the train home.

He did a similar journey the other week and it took him 4hours 40 mins. Today, it took nearly NINE HOURS!! It took them nearly 2 hours to get out of London.....

Frustrating, huh!

Weekly Weigh In...

Well, it was about as expected this week.

I gained a pound.

I think it was a mixture of emotional eating, and getting over excited about losing my gain.

I'm back on track, now, though.

I think...

The C Word

I mentioned the other week about my dad's wife having been diagnosed with cancer.

She had the operation on May 18th to remove the tumour, and went back last week for the biopsy results.

She hadn't prepared for the worst. She thought it would all be ok.

It hasn't quite worked out like that.

They didn't get all of the cancer. It's an aggressive form. She needs to have the breast removed.

She's back to hospital tomorrow.

So Excited

One of the ladies at work just found out she's going to become a granny.

She was so excited when she told us.

She was almost jumping up and down with excitement.

I was really pleased for her, and her daughter, but couldn't help feeling disappointed that I hadn't been able to give my mum that excited feeling.

Yet.

But I will.

And I can't wait to see her face when I get to tell her she's going to be a Nanny.

Comments

I seem to be having problems replying to comments on here at the moment.

And leaving comments on other blogs too, actually.

I am here, I am reading, and I am grateful for your comments - I just can't tell you so!!

I don't want that...

"Babies?", she said, "I don't want that"

"All those smelly nappies and sleepless nights?", she said, "I don't want that".

"Popping a child out of my lady bits", she said, "I don't want that!".

"Not being able to drink for at least 9 months", she said, "I don't want that".









"I'm pregnant!" she said, "Due in December. How exciting is that!"
