Day 60 - Revisiting the Weekend

Well, it has been a manic few days to say the least!

Saturday -
Bridesmaid dresses were ordered! I am so SO excited to see the finished dressed in a few months!

I tried on the 'maybe' dress for the fourth time, and have made the decision it's THE dress! I haven't ordered it yet as I want to lose more weight first. September it will be ordered!

We discussed invites, order of service and all other stationary, and have chosen the style we want. Now to discuss with my graphic designer friend!

We finally had a great weekend weather wise, so made the most of it and mowed the lawns. It makes the world of difference! I love how the garden looks once the lawn is cut, I just hate doing it! I think it's because it's one of those jobs you know will need doing week in week out over the summer, and never seems to go away!

Myself and the other half then went our seperate ways and went out with different friends. I went to a friends house with the girls to celebrate her birthday, and my partner to a new friends house warming. I had such a good evening catching up with the girls, and even managed a little boogie on the 'dance floor' aka decking!

Sunday -

Visited the parents as my mum has badly bruised her ankle and can't walk properly! So we popped round and I did a few jobs for her. After breaking my toe I completely understand how limited mobility is so fustrating!

As it was an even sunnier day than Saturday I tried to spend as much of it as possible outside, whether it was painting the new garden gate or trying to finish my book! Below is a picture of where I spent most of my time yesterday... heaven.

AND I finished my book, bonus! I will be starting 50 Shades of Grey in the next few days to see what all the fuss is about!

Diet wise, I have been good. We ate homemade chilli with boiled rice at the birthday party, and yesterday we ate spaghetti and salad for tea. I did indulge in a small ice-cream but hey, when the sun shines!

Hope you are all well and having a great time whenever you are in the world!

Day 59 - Silence...

Not much to report today guys!

All is well, I have been eating good. Still annoyed about the no weightloss again. Today we ran errands and visited friends, and the weather has been so good!

Keep an eye out for my shake weight progress which will be appearing in the next few days :)

Day 58 - Week 8 Weigh In

No change. No weight loss or cm loss. Gutted!

I've worked pretty darn hard this week with my food intake, however I have only been on one walk this week which must be why there has been no change!

Not a happy bunny over here!

Day 57 - Plodding along...

Not much to report today guys! I ate super healthily, but didn't fit the walk in in the end as I had to go back to the doctors.

The heart palpitations hadn't improved so went back to the doctors who has prescribed me with some tablets to reduce my heart rate. Hopefully things will improve very soon!

We cooked a yummy homemade chicken curry for tea, and I also made a mint sauce to go in top, similar to the raita sauce you get in the restaurants. It's the sumpilist of recipies... three table spoons of low fat natural yoghurt and one table spoon of mint sauce. I told you it was simple!

Hope you are well! X

Day 56 - Green Fingers

I love sunshine! Living in England, you don't half appreciate it more when it's here! Albeit, it was only for a few hours, so I made the most of it and tidied the garden. We have had so much rain over the past month or so, everything in the garden has really overgrown. I wasn't planning on doing the garden, so haven't got a before shot, but this is how it looks now. Still a little overgrown, but I don't have the greenest of fingers so it will just have to do for now! :)


Loving my plant pots this summer as well. I couldn't tell you what flowers they are though unfortunately... except they are pretty!

Food wise, it was a good day. I was on my own for tea so treated myself to my favourite vegetable pasta dish, accompanied with a corn on the cob which needed eating. A little was left over and so will be joining me for lunch tomorrow. Yum!


Hope you have all had a good day. Tomorrow I will be attempting a 3 mile walk, and am looking forward to it so much!
