Woke up late (10am)unusually late for a weekend and was almost late to fetch my eldest stepson Matt from his mothers... we have him every second weekend just for the day! High-tailed it out of the house without having breakfast (Naughty!!!), brought Matt home with me and then had to go out again and get my youngest stepson Harry some bits for school because his mother is too lazy to get them herself... so off I went to Sports World to find a size 13 boys black velcro RBK/Nike or any other brand name trainer for school and a new plastic square lunch box (last term we bought him a little cooler bag type lunch box and she never wiped out the the cooler bag so it got mouldy!!! disgusting woman!) Well I couldn't find a brand name trainer so he's got a generic brand which I know she'll have a fit over and I couldn't find a square plastic lunch box so he's got the same cooler bag type lunch box and yet again, I know she'll have a fit over that too! Oh well, look at the worry in my eyes because after all it was not her money that bought it for him, it was ours!!!!

After shopping, I came home to find my husbands sister and husband had popped in to see our new house! I was so pleased that they loved it and hopefully will now come over more often than when we were living in a one bedroomed flat!

Tonight, instead of cooking, I decided that I'd lost enough weight this week and deserved a treat so we went to the little pub across the road for their carvery! I didn't go overboard as I know what I can get like at a carvery! I was very impressed with myself actually!

Now we are back and Matt is not so quietly playing on the playstation with Tony, my Dad is still in the pub and I'm chilling out for the first time today! We will be going out again after Matt's Mum fetches him to drop Harry's school bits off with his Mother!!

All in all, another good weekend has been had by all and yet another weekend that I've brought home work to catch up on and it's sat all lonely on the dest and not even thought about!!! Oh well, tomorrow is another day and I'll just have to get my head down and catch up with it!

I hope everyone's weekend went as well as I think mine has and until tomorrow, remember to keep toddling along until we are all running! baby steps!

I'm hoping that I've lost at least a pound this week because I've been watching what I eat so closely since Monday - mainly because of the challenge but also because I've realised that the amount of food I was eating since my father started living with us was enourmous - Dad always says to cook extra so he can take it to work to have as lunch (I landed up getting the munchies and re-heating it as a nibble!! Also, having a Marks & Spencers just across the road at our new house has not help matters much since I was popping over every evening for their ready-made-meals because life at home and at work has been so hectic recently that cooking when I got in was just not an option! But since Monday I've been doing allthe menu plans (normally I'd ask my dad and hubby what they fancied for dinner) and the boys are complaining like hell because there's hardly a starch in sight and there is too many veg - starve boys if you don't like it! hehehe!

I'm not managing to have my full water intake these days because at work it is sooo far to walk to the loo so subconciously I think I just avoid it! Seriously it's a 5 minute walk from our little container to the farm toilet! I think I'd be taking the piss (excuse the pun) if I ordered a porta loo for the yard! hahahaha!

Hope everyone else is having a really good day! Remember... Baby steps!

UPDATE: I've actually had my full water intake today! Whoooohoooo to me! After reading what everyone had written in my journal I though stuff the walk to the loo, I will finish this 1.5l bottle come hell or high water - and then I ran as fast as my chubby little legs would take me! hehehehe

I had such a peanut butter craving last night that I couldn't sleep! You'll be pleased to know though, I resisted the urge to go down stairs and have a great big dollop of the smooth nutty spread on white bread (shock horror) with loads of real butter (even bigger shock horror). Oh but the temptation is still here and I had a sneaky sniff this morning! Peanut Butter is my biggest downfall, especially when there's a fresh loaf of warm white bread in the house! What I wouldn't do just to have a spoonful.... No Chants, you know if you start, you will NOT stop!!!!

My Tony hasn't been all that supportive the last 2 days because we went food shopping for his ex girlfriend last night(instead of the actual cash in her hand - she never spends it on his son and this way we know that at least he's getting vegatables) and he bought a tube of Salt & vinager Pringles, some chocolate cookies and scottish shortbread.... I think that is what triggered off my peanut butter craving!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day today and remember... baby steps!

Update: I had to give into my craving for peanut butter when I got home from work because I went into the high street to do some banking and I was shaking from head to toe and very light headed! - MAJOR sugar low! I got in and had a small sandwich with peanut butter but didn't feel that guilty because I know my body obviously needed it! Within minutes, I felt alittle better and the shakes calmed down! Very weird sensation considering I've had more calories today than normal! oh well, at least I didn't go nuts (excuse the pun) and spoon out the entire jar of Peanut butter!

Yesterday was supposed to be detox where I only have liquid meals like soup or fresh juice but with what was going on with my body trying to heal all the bruises and cuts from Saturday night, I thought it best to give my body all the proper nutrients it needs. I deviated from the liquid meals slightly with some ryevita crackers and low fat cream cheese for lunch and a baked potato with a tiny little scraping of more low fat cream cheese... All of that hit the spot and I no longer felt hungry. I still managed to cook a great big Spagetti Bolognaise (from scratch), for my husband and fathers dinner and do both their lunches for today and although tempted, didn't even have a pick!

Well, those of you who have gotten to know me, will also know that my husbands ex girlfriend who is also the mother of his youngest son is a devious, spiteful little 23 year old witch who gains pleasure from making others lives a misery... especially mine and my husbands! During December (and any time she feels I've overstepped her boundries) she banned me (?? yes BANNED) from having anything to do with her son - I love that little boy as if he was my own and it kills me when I can't see him or have any contact with him at all...! But last night she relented and phoned my husband to say "Harry wants to see that c**t and won't stop asking after and crying for that f*****g w**re"! Soooooooo, I get to see my little boy tonight (She can call me anything she wants - words do not harm me!!) - we are taking him out for a special dinner at a resturant - so she's only allowed him out with us for 1 measly hour but it's something at least!! I'm so excited but so very wary of why she's had a change of heart! He's got to the age where he's comparing what his life is like with us and what he lacks at home and I do gain some satisfaction from knowing that he appreciates all Daddy and I do for him! It always brings a smile to my face that what we've given him in love and attention and disipline over-rides anything we cannot give him in money!

Baby steps everyone... I'm realising my mantra not only applies in the dieting part of my life but for every other aspect of it too!
