Well done to you on all of your losses. What a great start to the year. I think its 14 or so weeks until Easter so a lb a week would be another stone off by then...although I remember saying similar things last year!
We had delicious thai red fish curry last night which was pretty low fat as the red curry sauce was made with red curry paste, extra light philadelphia and skimmed milk. It still tasted really rich.
DD's settling in sessions are going OK. A few tears but that's to be expected. She is being so clingy with me during the rest of the time. She's there for three full days next week so we'll see how that goes. My problem at the moment is that I really don't like the nursery manager who, I feel, doesn't listen to a thing I'm telling her about DD and, if I ask a question, just tells me "we have policies and procedures in place and need to consider the needs of all of the children". FFS! I know its my first experience of using a nursery but I have worked in them and am really trying not to be PFB about it all.
Blondes - I completely understand where you're coming from on the points. I just don't get them and cannot work out how to use my allowance during the day. I also think they've got some teething problems with some of the point allocations. For example, I was looking up light philadelphia the other day on their website and under "kraft philadelphia light" it was 2pp for a tbsp, under "light philadelphia" it was 1pp for a tbsp, under "philadelphia medium fat cheese" (which is what I think the light is) it was 4pts for a tbsp. So the same amount of the same product had three different values under three different names. AND it annoys me that all of their supermarket products (eg their yogurts) still have the old points values on them.
Piste - you are covered in loads of flourescent stuff when you run at night, aren't you? A few weeks ago, I was driving along a country lane and a man ran across the road dressed entirely in black other than a bit of piping on his hat. It really spooked me. I guess where you are that there must be streetlights.
Smokin - I weigh in on a Monday so we can celebrate/commiserate together.
Right, I'd better go and actually play with DD rather than MN. And get dressed too! Its dry here for the 1st time in a week so we'll actually be able to go out and get some fresh air.
Have a good weekend
