Tuesday 7th August

Ok, am back!!!!! Spent the last 2 nights in mum and dads (R is still there for another night - staying in her cousins).
I did not overeat - I avoided alcohol, even when mum asked me did I want any!!!!
Sat in their garden sunbathing and pretty much relaxing. Went to town with my sister and her 2 kids on the Monday and had lunch out...cafe style! They all had curry and chips I had a ham salad roll and a latte!!!!
OK time to face the scales in the morning and actually for once I am ok about it. I will be pretty pissed if have gained or stayed same...but other than that!!!!!

Tried to hula-hoop in my sisters, manage to get the hula hoop to go round me all of 6 times!! YEAH!!!! Better than last time I had a go...and boy was I puffed. I gotta get me and R a hula hoop - brill exercise and I am determined to do it!!!!!!! My little neice (who is almost 6 can do it brilliantly, she barely moves and keeps it spinning forever - how does she do it? She tried to instruct me and said "If you eat lots of fruit and vegetables maybe then you can do it?"

Obviously at some point my sister has said to her that if she eats all her fruit and veg she will be able to do the hula hoop!!! And she can now!!!!!

Yipppeeeeee I lost another 2 lbs, I thought I had!!!!
I am so pleased. I am going to try really hard now for next week. I wanted to be 9 st 7 lbs for my holiday.....Mmmmm 4 lbs to lose, possible but would take a lot of work!!!!
It is my sister Cheryl's 40th birthday today HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHES.

Must say apart from work th is morning, I have been pretty lazy this afternoonWhen Neil gets home we are off to get R from my mums then I will be dropped off at my dance class on the way home.

Thursday 9th August

Did 2 hours dancing last night. We did go for R but she decided she wanted to stay another night, we are going for her tonight.
Ok on cals so far today but I so so so so want chocolate............not sure what type of chocolate, maybe JUST chocolate????
I just might have to give and and buy a bit.
Just a bit honest.

My ideal night - CHOCOLATE and watching 24 (with Kiefer)!!
Sorry Neil!!!!

The saga of R's so called exercise bike continues . We are still waiting for the replacement parts (I sent off the mains unit, the computer bit and a few other bits cos the computer bit did not work properly. The CYBERBIKE is still in the box by the front door. We paid for it at the beginning of June.NEVER never never again.

I was very good and did NOT have chocolate, though I did have some chewy fizzy sweets which unfortunately took me over my cals by oooohhhhh 11.
Feek yuck now. R came home at last......we missed her.
I am very worried about her weight but am hoping that on holiday we can do lots of swimming and walking. We are planning on going for a long walk this weekend and even (if it's nice) play tennis.

Sat 11th August

Did 2 hours dancing last night. That is the last class for a few weeks.

Have been having over the calories on one day and under the next, hopefully it all evens out!!!!! Been very lazy today (ha what's new). Am hoping the weather is ok tomorrow as we are going out for a long long walk.

Am gonna have a few glasses of wine tonight (and yes I am counting them into the calorie allowance). Am feeling slightly stressed (ok very stressed - due to lack of £££ and the holiday coming up).

It's my birthday in a week, a week today. Am not saying how old I'll be (haha)....age is all in the errr...mind is it? Well, I feel 21 most of the time (though at moment I feel much older, say add 30 years)

CONGRATULATIONS to Asmaa and Faz on the birth of their little girl Lili
