Had an awful thought this morning,on the way to work at 6 in the morning(like you do ),after booking Paris ,was my passport still valid?Transpires that it expires middle of March so just as well I checked as had it in my head it was next year!
Hope you're having a good day all.

hiya girls

Di good luck for your weigh in tonight

I didn't get out to class today way too busy and not nearly enough staff!!

Hi Dawn, well done on sticking to PEP even though you couldnt make it to class, keep it up.

Hope you got to class Diane Im sure you will update us.

Hope all went well today PJC its been a long day for you.

Hi Northernstar and Smile&be happy too, hope youre both still pepping away

ONA XX

Hi ladies
I lost a pound this week(wel in 3 weeks ) so 10 to go
Dawn well done on resisting temptation,we had celebrations handed in at work today but as they weren't opened I managed to decline.
Update on checks
Have now had tuna n pasta for tea-13 checks
A bottle of Miller-3 checks and 2 profiteroles (left over from Xmas)-5 checks.
So now used 38 checks,think this will be the first weigh in day in a while where I haven't gone over.
Nicky never thought of that re passport photo.
Di

Hi Diane, well done on going to class and for that 1lb off in 3 weeks despite a few wee blips. 10lbs by end of March is do-able, just think how you would feel being back at target for your 40th, keep up good work.

ONA XX

Morning girls well it was a good day i didnt win but there was over 60 people in my comp but Stranraer College to 1st for cut and blow dry high fashion 1st for face painting and 1st for catwalk make-up and a 3rd for the bridal look wwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooo so were going to Blackpool! not even going to beginning to tell you my eating lol. Then i got up this morning to find my mum took the freezer plug out to hoover and didnt put the plug bk in yestarday all my food is wasted , am trying to cook some stuff can you cook it then freeze it again? xxx

As long as you cook it then its fine to refreeze PJC.Glad you enjoyed the comp.
How you doing today Dawn?,and everyone else who pops their heads in.
Today I did succumb to the celebrations as someone had opened them-had 4 so 8 wasted checks ,but not to worry they are counted and still got enough checks left for tea.
Menu
Breakfast
toast and laughing cow(edb)-8 checks(no oatso simple left,or yoghurt think a trip to the shops is called for)
Lunch
Butternut squash soup
slice bread-4 checks
Two tangerines(edb)
Snack
the aforementioned sweets-8 checks
3 plums(edb)
Total so far 20 checks
Plan on having low fat sausages(6) mash(8) ,gravy (2) and free veg for tea.Might even stretch to a spoon of beans(2),so 16-18 checks ,leaving 7-9 left for later.

menu today

oats so simple made with water 5 checks

now here we go again was working till 2 so no official lunch break just a tea break which i had at 11.30 went to the bakers and bought a heart shaped piece for Kenny's lunch box for tomorrow and a chinese chicken salad box for me went back to work and decided it was too early in the day to eat said salad so...........

bought a fruit and fibre bar 4 checks

then remember the goodies in the staff room i resisted yesterday?? well today i gave in and had a bit of flapjack am saying 8 checks for it

now got home at 3.30ish after toning tables so now it feels too late to eat the salad and i'm not that hungry so had some diet coke

going to have the salad for my tea and Kenny is getting turkey burgers and chips!!

am not sure how much to count for the salad its got

lettuce,tomato,onion,peppers all free

chinese chicken,coleslaw,pineapple to count its actually got quite a lot of chicken and a big scoop of coleslaw so was going to say 16 checks

do you think thats enough/too much??

Di sausage and mash mmmmmmmmmmm
