Hey all, hope you are well.
This week has not been so rough with Sofia, i believe we might have found a way to help her understand fractions better… only taken a couple of months 😆. And there’s been some improvement with Lilly’s number recognition. With both kids there’s the threat of not getting good kid stars, which has helped keep Lilly in particular motivated to carry on with numbers, letters and reading whereas before she would say “don’t want to”.
We’ve also managed 2 fun baking things with the kids (cookies and cupcakes), and Sofia was utterly pleased when I told her I much preferred her KFC style chicken (cooked with uncle Paul) to the real thing, so she very happily made that again this week.
Now the kids are back home with their mum, and they will be going to Paul’s mum and dad next week… WOOHOO!!! Freedom!
Anyway, I’ve put the lost water weight back on, I’m not disappointed, this was expected, but my weight is still on the whole dropping, slowly.
We’ve stuck with healthy eating during the week, very little exercise, some sneaky chocolate and alcohol, but on the whole, not too bad.
Today we had turkey rashers, turkey sausages and an egg in a white sarnie (using up Sofia’s bread), and this evening we had a slow cooker kebab. It was in a white pita, and I did have a garlic sauce with it, but it was a proper portion size, no greasy chippy chips, and filled with salad, so a tasty and not as unhealthy a kebab for Friday night!
I’m having a couple of drinks tonight, but they’re long, weak and mixed with pepsi max.
I’m feeling utterly lazy, but am hoping to get of my backside and do some walking this coming week.
I’ve bought a new bra! Well three actually, different sizes, two to go back! I’m now in a 40D, much better than the 44DD I used to wear, but I’ll be so pleased when I will fit 38C. In the meantime, i can now get a couple more bras in this comfortable size.
My scales are showing my weight as 14 stone 1.8lb this morning, so I’m hoping to be in the 13 stone bracket by next weekend. I believe my scales are about 3lb lighter than boots scales, so if by the end of july my scales read 13 stone 10lb, I’ll be really happy. However, I have to be more disciplined if this is gonna happen!
Anyway, nothing else to update you on really.
Bye for now 🤗
Trying to lose!
