Easter

Hello,

I know it wasn't too long ago that I last posted in comparison to my long standing lack of blog posts but it has still been a little while.

Last weekend was Easter. We had a lazy day watching Lord of the Rings on Good Friday followed by a day at work on Saturday. Sunday we visited James' family for a bit and then headed to my parents for afternoon tea. I made a marmalade cake and some scones to take. We had sandwiches, scones, marmalade cake, chocolate and hazelnut slice, strawberry tarts and fruit cake. And of course tea. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! We headed home around 9.

Monday I went for a long walk across the fields in the morning which ended up being 4.3 miles. It was lovely and there were lots of other people out and about walking and cycling. Late afternoon we went to James' parents for a roast dinner followed by pudding. I ate a whole Easter egg when we got home.

I did not go to Slimming World last week as I had a leaving do to go to. Since I last went I have had a big meal out, wine at the do and the Easter fun. So I was expecting a gain even though I tried to be good the rest of the time. I accepted this as life is about having fun and it's all very well trying to lose very quickly and always being strict but then how do you cope with events once you have finished losing? I think you would be more likely to royally fall off the waggon than if you enjoyed yourself at events whilst losing. So anyway I got weighed last night and 2.5lbs off over the two weeks. Excellent. I was so surprised. I am very near to being in the 12 stones so that has motivated me to stick with it.

This weekend we are supposed to be going to Cotswold Wildlife Park with our friends and their little one. At the moment the weather is not looking promising. But we shall see if it perks up tomorrow. Then Sunday I think we are having a lazy one at home and I'm going to try making a massive batch of spag bol in the slow cooker.

Wishing everyone a great weekend :)
