Well people...it's official...I made my first EVER pot of soup. A recipe from fellow online WWer - 0pps spicy vegetable soup. That is my lunch, along with a brown roll with either wafer thin chicken or ham and salad leaves for the rest of the week. (I also bought some low, already sliced cathedral city cheese, I know that it costs more to buy it already cut but it stops the "oops I seem to have cut a big chunk of cheese off the block!" shenanigans lol)

So my Asda trip went well. I took my "plan-friendly" list and never bought anything that wasn't on it! Organisation is the key.

Got my weigh in tomorrow...1st one since waaaay before Christmas. Couldn't get there last week because the road was closed. You'd think i'd be pleased that I accidentally ended up with an extra week with which to be very good and shift some Christmas poundage. But I'm more nervous, I think I would rather have known what the damage was so that I could get into the right frame of mind to fix it!

One positive aspect is the office girls. All the chocolates and cakes and biscuits are gone. We are swapping healthy eating ideas and encouraging each other AWAY from the bakers across the roads (oh the traybakes!). I'm also on week 2 of my running and determined to keep it going!

This is definitely the time to make WWers my own. I felt amazing when I had on my little dress last weekend, and in my mind I'm still 2 stone overweight! Think how amazing I am going to be/look/feel when I hit goal.

For me though, the biggest positive is not just the weight loss. But I'm learning value lessons and skills about food and cooking that I didn't have before. As a young woman who is on the cusp of flying the nest completely (currently flat hunting - nightmare) these are skills that I need. That will ensure I will stay healthy for the rest of my life!
