Well what a lovely day I have had - Alex is working with us in the NHS this week - not in my department but another corporate department and she is having a good time!!  Today she treated me to lunch at the Unusual Coffee Shop next to our offices.

Alex ordered a cray fish sandwich and I have one quarter with half a small bar of green and black dark chocolate........now that was good for me - low calorie and very satisfying.  So I am learning to stay in control by eating when I am hungry - this evening I cooked chunky haddock fingers and whilst Robert had chips with his I only added peas - and that was lovely - just right.

I read an interesting thing about calorie control today in Grazzia magazine - seemingly - because we slow down our metabolism by cutting down cals and our bodies slow down to match reduction, we should confuse our metabolism by ONCE A WEEK having a full meal of whatever we want to eat and this will speed it up again - sounds appealing.......

Now with the week-end coming up I may just follow that advice!!  I am now comfortable on 10000 steps each day for 5 days and that is good - I am used to exercising now.  Just a speed up required now.

I can see myself in a size 14 but it's still a dream - my 14's go around me but still show too many bulges!  So another 3 weeks??? Hope so!  Bye for now.
