Monday 15th March

Went to Slimming World and had only managed to lose half a lb. YIKES not good. BUT as per usual I will plod on and try and keep trying.
Watched the whole of Lost In Austen today and I could watch it again and again and again. Also watched Dead Like Me (the film) which was ok, though not as good as the tv series.

Work as per usual tomorrow.
Also did loads of cleaning this morning which is good so I deserved to watch Lost In Austen ALL afternoon!!!!!!!!!!

Haha!!!!!!!
I have been good with the food plan today. Was very hungy when I got home from work but managed to fling together a quorn tomatos and onion dish (kids and Neil had garlic chicken kiev's with weight watchers chips (yes they do do these) and beans. Not exactly a balanced diet but............. Off to Tesco now to get in some fresh fruit - someone ate all the bananas - the kids LOVE bananas and they don't last 5 minutes in our house, and the gorgeous ruby red apples I had have gone too (should not complain cos the kids do love fruit). I have been making raspberry desserts and they love them - simply just piping hot raspberries topped with 0% greek yogurt.MMMMM............
But both of them will eat most if not all fruit. R loves the Dragon fruit and blackberries, grapes and apples and bananas and pears and oranges. J loves bananas, apples, raspberries, peaches and grapes. So I do try to keep a suppply of fruit in. Now if only I could get them eating all veg too!!!!!!! J is not too bad and will pretty much eat anything I put into a stir fry, R is more picky.

Work was ok (half day yippeeeee). Going dancing tonight for 2 hours as per usual. J ran me to work this morning.
Had a slim fast day yesterday (breakfast and lunch) but was not in the mood for it today and I had made the yummy cauliflower and horseradish soup so had some of that for lunch with a banana. Too tired to do much of anything this afternoon (or too lazy!).

Did 2 hours dancing tonight. Have gotten into this terrible habit of having a snooze (in fact is oten much longer ie 2 hours or more) in the afternoon after work on a Wed cos I finish half day. Whilst sometimes it is nice to do this, mainly it is a waste of an afternoon. Is a bit of a pattern at moment
Get home at 1pm, have lunch, go to sleep till about 4pm or later, have tea then go dancing. I need to not go to sleep for such a long time cos I am then having trouble getting to sleep at night despite dancing for 2 hours. Ah well. Maybe I ought to have a short nap (eg half an hour) to recharge my batteries then can so housework stuff or something?? I am hoping in the nicer weather I might even walk home from work on Wed afternoons and get Neil to meet me half way and we can walk home through the park, is a nice walk but I would not go through on my own really.

Work was fine today. I had Slim Fast for breaky and lunch though was v hungry at lunch and also had a tuna salad! Neil had tea ready for when I got home and I had stir fry chicken with veg and pasta. In the evening I had a slim fast bar oh and some weight watchers toast. I am getting weighed in the morning in work. Hmmmm..... no idea how I will do. I am looking forward to our holiday as we are going to do lots of walking and swimming EVERY day.
My blood sugars have been much better since I have twiddled my insulin doses a bit which is good. I still need to not eat late in the evening cos this does tend to make the morning blood sugar higher unfortunately, no matter how correctly I do the insulin.

Am going to stay in mum n dads tomorrow night as mum has not been feeling so good, I am worried about her, though hopefully she is fine, will be fine. Saturday night I am off out for a meal with loads of people from work (we are eating Italian).

 Sunday 21st March

Went out last night with a load of people frm work. We went for a meal and then over to a pub. The meal was nice. The pub (The Mersey Clipper) = What a DIVE. IE: Crappy place. Smelly pub (smelt of lager and fart), FULL of CHAVS, drunken CHAVS and slutty girls dressed in nothing much (haha maybe am just jealous I can't get away with stuff like that at my age and size?!). The band, well, they played well but was FAR TOO LOUD and they played crap music like AC bloody DC and a mixture of middle of the road rock stuff SO BORING. My ears were hurting. I stood up for 2 hours and was so glad when Neil came to pick us up to go home. Would not go there again, awful place.
I enjoyed being out with the girls and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves, hopefully I didn't look too bored or cheesed off.

One of my friends (works at the hospital) we are going to be tourists for the day. We are going to go over to Liverpool on the ferry, book a trip on the Magical Mystery Tour
The Magical Mystery Tour is a must for anyone of any age who enjoys music - and it’s the perfect way to discover the city of The Beatles.

Step aboard our colourful bus for this 1 hour 45 minute tour visiting many of the places associated with John, Paul, George and Ringo as they grew up, met and formed the band that would take the pop world by storm. It lets you take a closer look at some of their childhood homes and places that inspired their most memorable songs like Penny Lane and Strawberry Field. Make sure you bring your camera to record the places you’ll want to remember on this magical tour.

You'll be kept entertained by one of our fully qualified Beatles Guides as you travel around the city and its suburbs to discover the truly remarkable story of the boys who were to become the world’s best known musicians.

The tour finishes at the legendary Cavern Club where you can present your ticket for an exclusive souvenir of your trip.

Then we are going to go round the Beatles Museum, then go for lunch in the Albert Dock and then go for a ride on the yellow bus (the Duck)
Haha!!!!!! Looking forward to this!
Ad we are going to take tons of pics and just have a great day out.

Am going to get weighed in the morning. Am NOT looking forward to it. I know I have gained weight yet again. BUT BUT BUT......
WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is my attitude at the moment. Ah well. SO my next plan is to eat healthily on holiday (coming up soon) and do plenty of walking. Can't wait!
Wed teatime I am doing a buffet tea for J's birthday which is on Sunday (he will be 19) and we won't be here for his birthday, he'll be here, but we won't. So his nanna and grandad are popping round and his girlfriend J too which is nice. His uncle is calling round briefly in evening though not sure about cousins. As per usual NONE of my family are popping round cos they NEVER do, any of them.
