This wonderful feeling? Who will tie it up in a ribbon and put it in a box for me? ”
A song for every occasion! (Name the song, musical and composer below for extra points)
After my usual porridge with almond milk for breakfast and then doing the school run, I met up with a friend and we went for a half hour walk round a park, and then a half hour chat on a bench! It was good to catch up and to do so in an active way as opposed to over hot chocolate and cake.
I then made myself a super healthy lunch, ribbons of courgette and carrot stir fried in a bit of soy sauce, with some feta cheese.
How good does this look? It had a really good texture, with a slight crunch to the carrots. And a nice tang from the cheese and soy sauce.
This is how I want to lose weight. By enjoying what I’m doing.
I want to bottle how I feel now. I feel really positive about actually achieving my weight loss goals. I was visualising being able to invite all of you to a big party to celebrate me being a healthy weight. I’ve still got such a long way to go, but today I feel like it is achievable.
I will update the rest of my food later but I wanted to capture how I am feeling right now.
That’s so fab.
This is a great way to begin the New Year – with positive outlook and tangible success!
This feeling is nothing to how you’ll feel when you buy your first size 10 and it’s a little loose!

How do you do it? I just keep peeling them with a peeler, straight into the pan.

Take your peeler and even when you’ve peeler the peel off, just keep going until there’s nothing left or at least a thin stick in the middle! I can try and photo it for another post if that doesn’t make sense.
