claire x

Well I'm glad to say that Day one wasn't as hard as I expected it to be - I came in under checks as always! but not many. I'll be honest I can't remember but I have noted it all down.
I've been out in the sun doing traffic counts so far this morning so although I'm a little chilly I'm fairly awake and qquite enjoyed listening to the wee robin singing his heart out!! Spring is definately here ( saw lambs too!! )

so I've posted my menus in the other thread as well as here to see if i can get help for when the days are tough - but I think that could be ending soon.

so here's todays plans

L chilli 9 rice 6
sn yog 2 fruit salad EDB
Din (after college) toast 6 cheese and marmite 6

Hot choc 1.5 and WW bic's 4

So, another pep perfect day yesterday, how about you, did you have a good day?

Well done on eating all you're checks yesterday, proud of you!

yesterday lunch was an apple - thats all with water. warning bells are starting to ring but i'm not sure what i have to do. I'm not going to the doc's just yet. maybe the stress i sgetting to me
