Well, call me crazy, but I don't think your food was too bad! I can do way worse than that!

A one pound loss is a good loss, take it and be proud! You will not be 80 when you get to goal!

food/exercise been good noticed cals have been nearer 1700, so gonna try for 1500 again & see if that makes a difference with weight loss, i was watching BL Australia & a woman was working out her daily cals & it was 1200 her being much bigger than me & exercising a heck of a lot more - got me thinking!!

The weekend away was great, i even went for a jog along the beach with my DB (he & DSIL came with us) after a day/nights drinking!! AND i enjoyed it

My cat (Holly) has been ill so we've had a few trips to the vet, hopefully she's on the mend.....

food - great

WI tomorrow,

I'm off to Wembley stadium in London tomorrow with DB, cousin & DB's best mate - yep me & 3 men, we're going to see AC/DC in concert, i'm soooooo excited, we are staying over so back saturday (i have a room of my own, they have to share )

next wednesday is my birthday, & i think we're out for a meal & then out with the girls next saturday.

The teacher i work with is getting married in August (remember the one i was so worried about - we have become really good friends!)
I have her hen night 25th July - camping - gulp - i'm not really the camping type!!
