Day 121 (2012) - half a pound off :)

Hi there

Hope I haven't startled you too much by appearing again but I did say I was going to blog daily when I could so here I am!!

Last night's meal was ok - there was a bit of a moment when the waitress threw an entire glass of coke over my father-in-law!!! He was soaked & she was so busy apologising that she forgot to get him something to dry himself :) Luckily he was wearing trackies and dried off quite quickly & the entertainment provided to the boys was immense!! He also got a free meal - so win, win really :)

Anyway, back to the matter in hand, I weighed in this morning & lost half a pound. After writing my blog yesterday I thought I might have put on so was very pleased. This means I now weigh 18-2 - it's a big number & I've set myself the goal of losing a pound this week but I'm really aiming to get into the 17s in the next couple of weeks.

I decided to do my Tesco shop and buy petrol before the SW class to prevent the post-class nibbles. It did work and straight from group (sustained by a black coffee & pack of mango pieces) I went 'kitchen shopping' in Belsize Park. A friend recommended me (always the best place to start) and it is amazing how much things have changed since I last fitted a kitchen in 1990!!
Then on to do the same in Pinner, with a quick stop at Magnet in Finchley, and the butcher in Finchley (veal chops, lamb ribs & chicken thighs as well as smoked beef which is great fried with eggs!).

I got home around 4:30pm and was starving - had a coffee and large portion of the Bannoffee cheesecake I made yesterday whilst doing my chores & then off to collect the boys (Dom from the library & Tobz from the coach stop).

Dinner was lamb ribs with runner beans and jacket potato - I've drank loads today & although not formally 'walked' I parked fairly far away from each kitchen shop so I could walk a bit & it was a lovely day today.

And now, as well as typing to you, I'm watching the snooker & a cookery programme (clearly in the break of the snooker!) and keeping an eye on the football - still 0-0 if you are interested!!

Hope you've had a good day too.
