<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Evening all,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">(Just a quick update this evening as I'm really cold and not feeling quite myself.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So this week as been a bit of a meh week. I have been good I think and only strayed off the plan a little without counting the syns.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Weigh in update: -0.5lb</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know its a loss but I was really hoping for at least another half a pound to push me into the next stone bracket. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope I've not made it too hard for myself either as I came home and instead of tea I have eaten a bag of mini eggs, Malteaster bunny & half a packet of Tuc biscuits :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That's not good is it!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think I've said this before but I'm going to try and do some exercise this week. I have a spa day on Wednesday and I'm going to use the gym first. I'm hoping that this will motivate me to get started with the exercise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway I'm going to go and curl up with a hot drink and try and warm up. I hope you've had a good week and if anyone has any words of encouragement I'd love a bit of a pep talk as I'm feeling quite fed up with dieting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Hello all,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I hope you are enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon, its the only day it hasn't rained here this week.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">This year as one of my goals/to-do items I wanted to get on an decorate a few if not all rooms in the house. We moved in about 2 and a half years ago and the decor was in a pretty OK state and not a bad palette of colours that we chose to live with it plus we had no money for such a task lol</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Now however... Still no money for the job but I have started the make over and I have tried to do it on a budget. I wanted to make a start quite early on this year so that it didn't fall to the back of the list and never end up getting done.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have made my first start on our spare room. Here is a photo of what it looked like.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's only a small box room and everything is a mess.</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see in the before picture I had been playing around with wall paper samples and to be honest this is quite tidy from the state it had been in, before this there was a larger desk and a dressing table in there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I want this to become a functional spare bedroom and a nice place to be even if the space is small. I want people to be able to stop over (I say people but I really just mean my best friend after we've been on a night out lol) and also if my little boy is hard to settle then it will be nice to have a single bed to snuggle up in and get him to sleep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll update you with the finished room soon :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have lost 6.5lb so far this year which works out at just over a pound a week on average. I was hoping to hit an average of 1.5lb per week but I'm quite happy with my loss. My goal for the beginning of April was 20lb lost but I think I'm going to revise this goal and aim for 14lb loss by 31st March.</span></div>

I attempted to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred but my DVD player remote won't work and the buttons on the player don't help. I've got a cross trainer in the garage but its sooooo cold at the moment. I need to get my act together and just do it.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Morning all :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So I went to my meeting late on Monday night as my hubby didn't get back in from work til late. Luckily they were still weighing and hadn't started the meeting.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Weigh in update: -2.5lb!!!!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">&</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I got my club 10 :)</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For any of you that don't know what club 10 is, it means I have lost 10% of my body weight, if I manage to keep it off for 10 weeks then I get a week free at my meeting :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">With getting to this milestone I have been looking back at my weight loss and it may have been slow and steady but since last January I have now lost 20lb which I think is great. I wish it had been faster but at least I've lost the weight and kept it off.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So onwards to a new week and I'm currently on target of hitting my 1.5lb loss a week so I've done my online shopping tonight which should arrive first thing tomorrow morning full of things to keep me on track towards my goal.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Oh 2 things that have really helped over the last few weeks which I thought I'd share with you. Firstly I have been making a massive bowl of fruit salad and keeping it in the fridge to snack on and to satisfy my sweet tooth and second of all I keep telling myself to take it a day at a time especially when I really want to give in and eat chocolate and pizza on a Sunday night. I have been telling my self that if I can just get through the day without going over my syn allowance then tomorrow is a new day and before I know it we're back round to weigh day :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So good luck to you this week I hope you're doing well.</span></div>

Hello fellow slimmers :) </div>
<div align="center">
(if anyone is reading please comment about your weight loss I could do with some company)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Well last weigh in was awful in many ways</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red;">Weigh in update: 0 pounds lost</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
I stayed the same which I suppose is better than a gain but I did put a lot of effort into last week and for the scales to say I'd lost nothing was really disappointing.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
To top it off I had to take my son with me who is 18 months and it was about his bedtime. He was OK until we left the house.... When I got to the meeting he screamed and cried as my leader tried to hold him so I could get weighed. Hot and bothered after taking him to my meeting I had to nip over the road to the shop as I had to get a birthday card for a work colleague, whilst in there my disappointment and stressed state got the better of me - I bought chocolate. I then proceeded to go next door and get chips for tea as my husband was going to be back from work late (already 7.30pm by this point)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I then spent the rest of the evening feeling very rubbish as I hadn't lost any weight, I was on my own with a very difficult 18 month old who didn't want to go to sleep and eating chips & chocolate :(</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So that was Monday...</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Since Monday fortunately my chips and chocolate haven't effected the scales and I have been good for the rest of the week, I just have to get through Saturday & Sunday.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Does anyone have any tasty meals or strategies for coping with the weekend or any single parents who have to deal with my Monday night on a regular basis?? (I bow down to you if you deal with that on your own)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Fingers crossed for a good result on Monday </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Good evening :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I completely forgot to update this on Monday I think its because I was late getting back from my Slimming World meeting . Of course everyone went crazy joining my local club as it was the first weigh</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> in of the new year so it was super busy.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyway I'm please to report</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Weigh in update: -2lb</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wooooo hoooo!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I did try really hard </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">as it was over new year and I was away celebrating but I'm so glad to have a good start going into the new year.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">This week I have again been trying my hardest to stick to the plan :) I have been on 2 walks this week and made a massive bowl of fruit salad with 5 different fruits in to keep my sweet tooth at bay. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have slipped up a little though as my husband brought back from work some chocolate and like a moth to a flame I gravitated towards it. We have also been out for a carvery today, I don't feel that that was the worst thing ever I'm just really hoping that it doesn't affect my weigh in tomorrow.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have however made a batch of soup up so that I don't stray off plan over the next few days and another batch of fruit salad.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So I get weighed in tomorrow night and I will try and write about it sooner as I feel I'm playing catch up with myself writing it like this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello all, hope you're having a good day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now I know we're into the second week of January and for anyone reading this you may be sick of reading all about peoples goals and life aspirations but really anytime is a good time to set some goals and things to achieve it makes us positive and productive (now I'm just spouting rubbish so I'll get on with it lol)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I set myself some to do list things last year when I started this blog and I have managed to achieve some of them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I now have my hygiene certificate for my cake business, I have added more cakes to my portfolio and I obviously achieved all my Christmas plans.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now for 2014 I would really like to achieve:</span></div>
<ol>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My weight loss goals</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2 areas of the house decorated</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Build my cake business further and add to my cake portfolio</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Complete my 30 by 30 list</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Keep up with this blog</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I think 5 year goals is quite enough to be going on with :) There will certainly be more things to achieve throughout the year but I think they will go on a separate to-do list.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'll come back to review this I think possibly at 3 month intervals to keep my eye on the goals :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Does anyone else make goals or resolutions for the year? Are they practical and achievable or do you fall at the first hurdle?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Happy New Year!!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right we're already about a week into 2014 and I'm back into weight loss with renewed motivation :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went and weighed in on 30/12/13</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Weigh in update: +1.5lb</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm not where I wanted to be going into 2014 but I don't think that's too bad for over the festive period. So with this gain I start 2014 at 12st 7lb. I did start with a good attitude but haven't been able to fully dedicate myself this week as on the 31st December and 1st January I was away celebrating the new year with family and there is only so much you can do when eating in other peoples homes and travelling. I have however been very good and on track since then and my first weigh in of 2014 is tomorrow.</div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm going to have to admit I'm not doing so well, the festive season is starting to get to me lol</span></div>
<div align="center">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It could be worse but yet again I'm yo-yoing.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I suppose all you can do this time of year is try your best so if I manage to stick around the same weight give or take a pound then I suppose that's some kind of success but really I ought to keep in mind that Christmas is only one day and not a whole month and it also isn't a reason to stuff myself silly.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I really would like to end the year in the next stone bracket which is only 5lb away and I have 4 weigh ins left before the end of the year so I could do this if I really tried.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Well I'm not going to lie I don't think this is going to happen but I can give it a go.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello fellow slimmers :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I've been a bit AWOL from my blog recently, things have just been a bit hectic and all I have wanted to do is sit and relax in the evening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">Weigh in update: -0.5lb</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I lost 1/2 a pound last week and maintained this week. I was really hoping for a loss this week but I did go to Manchester to the Christmas markets and ate lots of yummy food and came back with lots of yummy treats so I am actually quite happy with maintaining as it could have been worse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Over the last few weeks we have cleared out our garage and made it all usable after we had the roof replaced. I now can use my cross trainer. I bought the cross trainer over a year and a half ago from eBay with the intentions that when my son was born I would be able to use it and get rid of my weight without paying for a gym membership.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">...I haven't been on it once :S</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So now the garage is all waterproof and we have cleaned it up there is no reason why I should not be able to fit in 1/2 an hour a day on the cross trainer. I might start off slow by just doing 10 mins a day or 30 mins but just 3 times a week but I hope to do it either during my son's nap after dinner or in the evening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So fingers crossed for a good week everyone </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>

</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So this week I tried again to do better and I had my weekly weigh in last night</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">Weigh in update: -1/2lb</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">So at least I'm heading in the right direction although I want to do better. This week my aim is to lose 1.5lb which will get me out of my weight loss rut. If I manage to lose 1.5lb then I will be at my lowest so far on this journey and I will feel like I have turned a corner.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">These are just two of the meals I had this last week</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWKYoyGCNsgk1ujpx8l9T_jtjsIOXcNNh3rSlV-FkfoPAEC7zSHCbSF_oeaGAa5pO_ewEkXfY9l46fjeS4ChDWc8TQQ4fi7rdtMQiTqcADQbpiTUbl_b3qWx1Wb3y7KzL3E8NvoFaSrfR/s320/photo.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="320" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hearty Italian style meal<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">This meal contains celery,carrots, onions,peppers, mushrooms, tinned tomatoes, passata, chicken, bacon, macaroni, oregano & garlic. It's a fantastic meal, the original recipe for this was called a 'soup' but every time I have made this its more like a meal. I suppose you could make it into a soup by blending the veg a bit and adding less pasta but i like it like this. It is so yummy and satisfying.</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZCqjFfFUweMVlq_h2_3T6n_zDJLyXDfaRtC_S0UV58zDaSo3F5pOmSyScwcUoQgGjRsx9fGoG0RBCB8QfAKGZ6Qb1MwF5wECaqlsR_EGmGyT7LRCZwUEmxn4Yg-pDAArP1ka8S84WlJM/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZCqjFfFUweMVlq_h2_3T6n_zDJLyXDfaRtC_S0UV58zDaSo3F5pOmSyScwcUoQgGjRsx9fGoG0RBCB8QfAKGZ6Qb1MwF5wECaqlsR_EGmGyT7LRCZwUEmxn4Yg-pDAArP1ka8S84WlJM/s320/photo+(2).JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sweet potato and prawn curry<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">This meal contains sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, sugar snap peas, garlic, chilli, chilli powder, curry powder, cumin, ground coriander, prawns (and I added chicken too) served with rice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">I may have forgotten some ingredients in the curry but I am writing this from memory, this recipe is actually from the extra easy cook book so if you have that you will be able to look it up in there. I added the chicken as I didn't feel I had enough prawns in it and the mix seemed to work well :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">If you would like any more details on those meals let me know but they were quite simple to make.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Wishing you all a good weigh loss week :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Talk soon x</span></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its the first time I have made any models or characters like this and I quite like them :) They are not as difficult to do as I imagined and are very effective. I have some ideas buzzing around my head now on different ways to use this technique. I have also made him completely edible which is something I really wanted to do because as I take these techniques forward I want my models to be able to be used on children's cakes specifically my sons and I know the last cake I made he grabbed the figure off the cake! Luckily it was made out of icing and he was only one lol so you can't expect anything else :) So for his next cake I certainly want to make sure everything is edible.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This week I didn't have my Monday night sugar craft class so I went to my regular meeting which is on a Monday night (I only changed to Wednesdays due to the course) I thought that if I could get weighed and see what the damage was I could put it behind me and start fresh.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">...MIRACLES DO HAPPEN</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">Weigh in update -1/2lb</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;">WOO HOO!!!!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;">I know its not much but considering the rubbish I have eaten since last weigh in this is a miracle. I did honestly expect a gain.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;">So this 'week' I have 9 days until weigh in (well 7 from today)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;">My plan is to try to stick to the basics, I've done my shopping and bought in pink n' white wafers to combat my sweet tooth. I've got my 1st week meal diary out and plan to use that as a guide.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;">once again I will try and keep a diary of what I have had I may take some photo's and share my meals that way. Maybe they can be some food inspiration for you, please feel free to share your meal ideas as I really get stuck in a rut.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia;">Anyway onwards to a good week :)</span></div>

</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello and happy Monday to you :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Well tonight I am not at my class as they take a break over half term so I thought I'd share my latest cake with you.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am really happy with this baby bump cake. It has been a new challenge for me as all the other cakes I have ever done have been round/square cakes as they come from the tin. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So to bake this in different shaped tins then add the icing as smooth as possible has been challenging and a new skill I can add to my portfolio. I was worried that the cake had been over baked and turned out dry but the feed back I received was positive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm so happy with the way this turned out and I'm so please the lady trusted me to do this as it is the 1st one I have ever done. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'll just leave you with a question... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Do you think this looks OK and what would you pay for it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">As mentioned above I did get positive feed back but it would be nice to know if I pitched the price right so any replies would be lovely. Thanks</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So this week started off well then went down hill, I last posted about half of my weeks efforts which were OK but not great this then quickly turned into bad, really really bad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Weigh in update: +1lb</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This does not seem like a lot but its really not how I wanted things to go and I only have myself to blame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Since the weigh in my eating has become even worse I haven't been keeping track of a single thing I have eaten. Some of the stuff has been SW friendly but then other really bad stuff has crept in. I fell victim to a box of pop tarts (which has been one of the worst culprits) I haven't had them in years and as I was walking around Tesco picking up a few bits I seemed unable to resist :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Also this week...well last night I went on a night out. One of the girls from work is leaving and moving away so we all went out for a few drinks. Now I really regret this one. I didn't even drink that much and didn't really have a great time and this morning I am suffering. Not too badly but I've got a headache and am very tired. I kind of wish I hadn't drank.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So that's my pitiful effort this week which will surely result in another gain. It will take a miracle for the scales to even stay the same I think.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyway onward to a new day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Monday everyone :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well this week wasn't that interesting really. We decorated an angel biscuit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrvwgZJxxpPandMvA6vKe35ItwsfNMWRHhsfVqnRq2ZTl00C9cUsw7wtCqcJJcD9F_ifztSYdL1pC8c5wOOU4Y-AlQ3Dc2IO1phR3bHcLKFHhSF41Fpb8ToX-XeXn0MoccmnDhxTcEHtU/s1600/photoCA10PGQQ.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrvwgZJxxpPandMvA6vKe35ItwsfNMWRHhsfVqnRq2ZTl00C9cUsw7wtCqcJJcD9F_ifztSYdL1pC8c5wOOU4Y-AlQ3Dc2IO1phR3bHcLKFHhSF41Fpb8ToX-XeXn0MoccmnDhxTcEHtU/s320/photoCA10PGQQ.JPG" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However I really like the effect :) I think they look really nice but a lot of effort just for a biscuit especially if you were to decorate a whole batch but again I suppose once you get the hang of things you get quicker. We were given the biscuit to decorate but the week before we were also given the recipe so I made some Christmas trees to try the recipe out. Its is so easy to make and a really tasty biscuit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It consists of plain flour, icing sugar, butter and vanilla essence. You rub the lot together, once its rubbed together like bread crumbs you squash it all together, roll out and cut shapes then cook on lowish heat for 20 mins, done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This has give me some ideas for my homemade Christmas gift baskets I am making and will make them a little more special I think.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next week I think I am going to be making some models to go on cakes but we'll see how it progresses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thanks for reading. </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: blue;"><strong><u>Thursday</u>:</strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(B) Weetabix & milk so therefore I have used up my A & B choices</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(L) Home made vegetable soup, Muller light & grapes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(D) Diet coke chicken with rice</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have strayed a bit from the plan today and not counted the syns I had a small square of cake at toddler group this morning (it was small as well), some milky way stars left by my little boy and a small piece of banana bread I made. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't think that seems too bad but then again I haven't counted the syns. However I have done some exercise today for the first time in ages. I have started one of the body magic challenges you can find on the slimming world website and have walked just over a mile today towards that. I have also returned to Zumba with a friend. So other than my slip ups I feel that today has been a good start. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(D) Home made Spaghetti Bolognese</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I managed to stay within syns today, I can't remember what they are as i write this as I tracked them on my app and don't have it to hand at the moment.</span><br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> (B) Weetabix & milk so therefore I have used up my A & B choices</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(L) Burrito (filled with pork, peppers, rice & salsa)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(D) Chicken in nandos sauce (2 syns), salad, & sweet potato wedges</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Today was a bust when it comes to food & syns as my hubby decided it would be nice to go out to Meadowhall as he wanted to buy some stuff. This also meant food out, so my innocent looking burrito is from the food court and as you can imagine it will be loaded with syns. I tried to control it once we got home with a decent tea but then we ended the day with some wine & chocolate. Hmph</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong><u>Sunday:</u></strong><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(L) Home made vegetable soup</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">(D) Gammon, veg, gravy & 1 roast potato (2 syns)</span><br />
<br />
Again today I have been doing so well then I have ruined it with a Belgium bun from Gregg's which I have just checked is 21 syns!!! I think looking at what I've had so far i really struggle when it comes to sweet treats. I really feel I need something within the day. I certainly don't feel I have been excessive but its not part of the plan.<br />

I feel like this little piece of motivation suits the way I feel about this week so far. I am trying to stick to the plan and each day I try again. I am really trying to not let what happened the day before effect my choices for the day that I am in. Therefore I will finish today without any further syns and try again tomorrow :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So as I mentioned a few days ago I want to get organised and one of the tasks on my list was to work out a schedule. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My little boy is 16 months old and really starting to be inquisitive, you can clearly see that he is taking all the information in like a sponge. I have started to feel that I don't do enough with him to help him develop, he seems to have gone over night from a little baby to a developing toddler (where does the time go!) and the days just seem to slip by or get eaten up by housework and chores.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I don't want to be the reason he isn't reaching his full potential so I have made a schedule. Now I don't intend to stick to this hard and fast, I hope to use it more as guidance to make sure he is getting the variety of interaction he needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now I haven't quite finished it but then again I </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">think that's OK because as I said it just a tool to help guide me. I have created this using inspiration from my </span><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/vickchix" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pinterest</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> boards. (<span style="font-size: x-small;">feel free to have a look </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-small;">around, I am obsessed with pinterest so there is lots to look at)</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have also created a sort of eating plan to help me make sure he is getting enough of the right stuff. This may all seem a little excessive but I feel I need to put all these plans to paper as a sort of step by step 'How To' manual that I can refer to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Its my way of organising the chaos of life lol I'm sure I can't be the only one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I hope this maybe of help to you if feel the need to organise thing too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So this </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">week has been 50/50 with following the plan. I thought I was doing really well then I went off the rails. As you can see from some of my other posts I enjoy cake making and decorating, these things do not go hand in hand with dieting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">On Monday night I had my sugarcraft class then came home and ate some of the things that I had made and of course they had umpteen syns in them. I just hope they don't show up too badly on the scales. :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Also I need to admit it to myself on here...... I am not following the plan properly, that is why I am not getting the results I want!!!!!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">For the first time in ages I counted up the syns I had in a day but the time I had got through dinner I had had 9.5 syns!!! So on all those days/weeks I haven't been counting I must have been going over by loads I am amazed I have even been able to keep the weight off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So my plan is that during the course of this next week I am going to write a blog post containing my meals and syns. I may make this into one long post for next week or I may upload a few posts during the week, I'll see how long it turns out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Weigh in was tonight...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;">Weigh in update: -1/2lb</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">Onwards and downwards...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Good morning :) I've decided it time to get organised...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My mind gets a bit muddled with all the things I'd like to achieve and I end up half doing things or over thinking them and never actually doing anything so I thought I'd write some things down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So I've been thinking there are a few projects I want to achieve over the upcoming months. Some are achievable and some will spill over into next year but its good to have something to work towards plus with having this blog now it will be good to see it in writing and refer back to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello and happy Monday once again :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So tonight has been my fourth night on my 10 week course. I wasn't really feeling up to it to be honest as I had been up a lot the night before with my little boy who is not feeling very well. So very tired and bleary eyed come this evening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Luckily it was a nice gentle class and I didn't do much really, the tutor helped me put it all together :) So I now have a finished rose arrangement ready to be put on top of a cake. I must say for a first attempt I am pretty pleased with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So yay me :) I have the basic skills on this one to take into other projects. To produce this one arrangement though it has taken a long time and I know I'm new at this but I still think that even with practise these will take a while to produce and I now understand why they are so expensive to buy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I can't pick just one thing that is my absolute favourite thing about autumn. I think what makes Autumn so special is a collection of things. I love Autumn as I love the clothes, I love a warm jumper and lots of layers. I love boots, cold noses then coming into the warmth, I love putting the fire on a cozying up watching a film, I love love love the colours of Autumn on the leaves and on the clothes.</span><b></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I drink Pepsi Max all the time but when it turns colder I do like a red bush tea in the evening or a Options mint hot chocolate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
My two go to perfumes are Amour Indian Holi & Lady Gaga Fame. I found the Amour one in an airport shop (possibly the duty free but its been so long now I don't remember) The perfume was a limited edition one and I don't think you can get it in the shops which is why I went on a hunt for a new one. Surprisingly I decided on Lady Gaga, I love this perfume so much.</span></center>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't really wear lipstick but when I do I tend to go for the sheer lipsticks. I have tried a few brands but I tend to love No.7 for their sheer lippies.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once again I don't moisturise on regular basis... naughty me :( I have sensitive skin and I am still looking for one that suits me.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I love my naked pallet. it has everything I need in it. I tend to use Virgin, Sin & Toasted going from inner eye to outer eye in that order then I use Hustle in the crease. This is my go to look on a daily basis....

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are certain areas of my own life that I want to focus on just for myself and this is one of them. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I want to lose weight!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I want to lose weight for many reasons, most of them are the same for anyone who wishes to lose weight but here they are in black and white for all to see.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<ol>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To be slimmer</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Feel sexier</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To buy a capsule wardrobe or key pieces and not have to keep buying different sizes</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To be healthier</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To be fitter</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">To be able to do much more with my little boy without being out of puff as he gets older</span></div>
</li>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
</ol>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I know some of those reasons fall within each other but never mind.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I was a UK size 12 before I had my little boy (June '12) and that was fine with me, I've never been any smaller and I would have to do some serious dieting/exercise all of the time to get any lower.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">(I say this because when I was 16 I exercised every night and ate really well but still wasn't any smaller than a UK12) </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Now I'm a UK size 16 and struggling to reduce that but to be honest I've been playing at it. I started at Slimming World in February this year and have lost 1st 3lb. Now I could have lost more than this during this time but at least I have kept it off and still enjoyed myself that's the way that I look at it anyway but now I feel I need to push on further as I'm not happy staying at this size. Personally I have my own cut off weight and once I reach this weight I know its seriously time to do something about it but due to pregnancy and taking the 'eating for two' thing way too far I went over my cut off weight by 3 stone. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm only 10.5lb away from my pre-preg weight now but due to body changes I think its going to take more than that to get back into my pre-preg clothes.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">So here starts my new journey, I get weighed in on a Wednesday at the moment so I shall give you an update next week.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm going to try and make this a regular feature on my blog to keep me on track so if anyone wants to to join me and kick my ass that would be great. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I want that 10.5lb gone by the end of the year at the very least :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Talk soon x</span></div>
