26th Sept 2019 – phew! What an evening!

Hi all, hope you are well!

The Welsh trip is almost here WOOHOO!!!!

We’ve been rushing around like maniacs this evening. Strange, I’ve learned how valuable preparing is over these last few weeks, shame I didn’t relate that to preparing for going away 🤣

I stayed home to pack while Paul went and got some food stuff, all we have to do now is pack toiletries and cold food stuff tomorrow morning, and off we go!

I haven’t packed my beloved Bailey’s, instead I’ve packed some vodka and spiced rum, that way I can make long drinks with Pepsi max.

We still need a couple of bits from shop, Paul didn’t realise bedding sets don’t come with bottom sheets!

We’re also going to weigh tomorrow morning, I don’t think it will be a true reflection of our progress as we don’t usually weigh so early in the day or week.

Neither do I think I’ve reached my thrice revised target of 18lb loss, however I’m still a lot lighter and a bit fitter than I was when I first joined this wonderful WordPress community 😊

When I first started I worried that when this weekend was over I would lose my motivation. I promise myself this is now not a concern. My next target will be be to lose 2 stone (28lb) by 21st December! Hard target again, don’t expect to reach it, but I’m gonna try my hardest!

Anyway, on to business!

Food – confession first! Unpacking my backpack from a couple of weekends ago, I found half a tub of Pringles. Who knew two week old Pringles would still taste great!

Normal food, nuts, fruit, hard boiled egg, salad – completely forgot my banana!

This evening we had Friday fish (I know, I know, it’s Thursday), oven cooked spuds and broccoli.

Fluid – 200ml milk, 1l water, 2 cups of tea.

Exercise – does rushing around like a blue arsed fly count? No? Sigh, that’s a shame, no exercise today.

I will try to update over the weekend, even if it’s just a few photos, wish me luck in trying to keep the ‘naughties’ to a minimum 😉

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

    1. They are the easiest things in the world, and they do taste good! Small potatoes or sweet potatoes chopped into inchish chunks, chucked in a bowl and given a very generous sprinkling of dried herbs of choice (I’ve been playing with the idea of spices as well, not yet tried) a big squirt of garlic puree and a drizzle of olive oil, mixed in a bowl so everything’s coated, then tipped onto a baking tray and lobbed in oven. Cooked for 40 mins at fan 160. Given a shake halfway through 😋
