Day 70 - 10 weeks and still going :-)

I think the poor professionals who tried to encourage me to 'write' at school would be amazed to know I've been writing my blog for ten weeks.
Once again - thank you for following this very ordinary tale of a very ordinary 50 year old trying to shed her excess weight.

I've had a very 'extended' family orientated day today.

Started the day with the gym (where I was weighed & measured - will post tomorrow as can't be bothered to go out to car to get piece of paper!!) lots of water & a banana, satsuma & peach.

Saw my parents after going to the gym - they must love me lots as I went straight from the gym!! Sorted out my dad's computer - not before spilling a full mug of coffee over the new mouse I was installing!! Had a natter with them which was nice as they are off cruising the fiords on Wednesday.

Next stop the butcher - bought some hot salt beef to nosh on the way home - tempted by the mini latkes but did resist!!

Popped in to my cousins Karen & Howard to give Ollie his present from mum & dad. My aunt and uncle were there too for a while. It was great to see them all and we had a good catch up :-)

Discovered that they are reading this (I never stop being surprised) & Howard offered me a photo shoot when I reach my goal!! How exciting - and extra incentive to keep going.

I'm very lucky to have such fabulous family (on both sides) - we all get on really well but aren't afraid to let each other know if we are being 'painful'.

Eventually home & I've just had some more to drink and a big bowl of blackberries & pomegranate seeds with FF fromage frais (Toby has gone out with his friend's parents & Andrew is playing tennis) in the garden.

Thought I'd finish with petrol stations....
Since I started being in control of my food intake I've been using those where you can pay at the pump but today I needed an urgent fill up & had to use one where I paid in the kiosk.
In I went only to be assaulted by banks of chocolate saying 'eat me quickly, eat lots of me!!'
There were also bags of doughnuts by the till 'you know you want to' they said!! And I really did - however I did resist but it was so hard. Why do they need to have all that stuff by the tills????
So I feel quite virtuous this evening and really hope that it pays off on the scales tomorrow.

It's tasting day at SW - I've made some smoked salmon dip and couscous salad to take in.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
