Weight Watchers Week 6 - The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches week.......

I had a few rounds of the above sandwiches and guess I shot myself in the foot a little bit..... My excuse is that I had a migraine and felt the need to eat badly! I lost 1lb so thats 5.5lb in total. Not as good as I was hoping but then I haven't been as good as I could be. I will be better this week!

On Saturday night we were invited to Newbury Manor Hotel for a mini wedding fair of all their preferred suppliers. We met the lady who will do our flowers, I chatted to the local hairdressers and we met the new wedding planner. H the previous wedding planner for the hotel is going off to Australia for a year so an ex wedding planning of the hotels who has set up her own business, Essentially You, is taking over. J is very nice and as she used to work at Newbury Manor I'm sure things will go very smoothly!

It was really nice to go out and do some wedding related stuff, its all been house related recently. They even put on some food on (which was very nice, with some very nice desserts) and there were four wines to taste - I tasted rather a lot of the red wine. Ah, that evening may well be part of the reason my weight loss was a bit less than hoped for......still it was a nice weekend out!

Houses - who knows..............

Snow in the Thames Valley!

This is my back garden at 10:30 this morning - I love seeing snow!! Its all starting to melt now which is disappointing.......

Weight watchers week 5

Good morning all, it is the 1st of April already, how did that happen........

I lost the weight I put on last week! So all square again, which I am really pleased about. Thats 3lb off. I can admit to it now I have lost it again!!

I went to see my Occupational Health Department yesterday. Due to ongoing symptoms which have been left behind by my last relapse the Occupational Health Physision is recommended I am redeployed in the medium term, which apparently means 12 months. I'm not too bothered as I don't really want to go back anyway. I like working sensible hours and being able to have a life. He was very reassuring about getting a new job as well. Told me a bit about the process and what I was expected to disclose and what their Occi Health people should be doing. Apparently they shouldn't disclose an illness to the managers, they have to keep it to themselves!

Anyway, we have a new lady starting in the Office today so I ought to get things straightened up!

Proud of myself!

Two things really. I survived moving lots of furniture to the tip and between houses on Saturday which, although I didn't do any real heavy lifting I did do a bit of fetching and carrying and drove a rather large van!!

Secondly on Sunday I cooked a roast! My first ever roast!!! I have cooked roast potatoes before but never the whole thing and the potatoes turned out better than before - just like my Mums! I think the chicken needed turning around and cooking for a bit longer because one side was perfectly cooked but the other wasn't! Never mind, I know for next time!

Also made gravy from the chicken juices, bread sauce from a packet and put some prepared veg in to roast as well. All very good and enjoyed with a glass of white wine!!

I know its not much but I was really chuffed!!
