Susan Napier: Secret Admirer!

Not you're typical Mills & boon plot: How long have I been searching for a M & B book that turns the standard man-meets-virgin plot upside down and inside out. Awesome. Maybe I should have a go? Sad that this was written in 92 and nothing much as changed. Are there any more like this. Probably not.

Should be going to Wollaton Park with M & P - doubtful. Feel crapping and totally out of control. Bought a skipping rope. Have yet to use it.

Watched Muriel’s Wedding last night; surprisingly touching. Shocked myself by really enjoying DOA.

Ian Rankin - interesting doc on Jekyll and Hyde and the nature of dual lives, a subject I find fascinating. Probably because of my love for Oscar Wilde and E. M Forster. J & H is infinitely more illuminating now I know about the layout of a house off Lester Square, a law making homosexuality illegal, RLS's misspent youth, bedtime stories and an argument with his wife. No...it really does;) Gotta love context.

Reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials again before my brain gets distorted by the movies. Speaking of which:

Current weight 12.10

I hate being a girl - hateithateithateit!

I've had a text book week, but I've still gained half a pound because I'm due on my stupid-crappy period!

Hateit!

Anyway, this week I'm going to concentrate on my food portions and drink eight pints of water a day.

I'm going to try something different for breakfast tomorrow.

Bold Berry Smoothie

NoCounts:  0
Full Choice: 2.5

Serves 1

1 Small ripe banana
2 150g (5 1/2 oz) frozen mixed summer fruits
3 100g (3 1/2 oz) low fat plain yogurt

Liquidise the ingredients; adding water until you have the consistency you prefer - drink immediately.

Today was the perfect example of a very good day;)

I'm doing NoCounts but I like to keep an eye on the points value in Full Choice.

I made French Apple Tarts today out of one of my WW recipe books - they weren't every nice;( Certainly not worth three points. I could have two skinny cows!

This week was a sucess on NoCounts; I lost 4lb's.

Start Weight: 14.12
Total Weight Loss: 43 lb's
Amount left to loose 32 lb's
Current Weight: 11.11
Goal Weight: 9.7         

So I've plucked up the courage to post a then and now picture:

Before: 14.12                                
After: 11.11

My belly's hidden in the recent picture - which is still quite substansial - you can just see it poking over my guide book - lol;)
