I must tell myself off more often because I lost 5.5lb this week at weigh in. I was over the bloody moon, if not totally gobsmacked! I was hoping for a loss so was overwhelmed with the result. I'm putting the loss down to eating good meals through the day, sticking to my allowances and getting ... READ the POST

Central Square Complete – Made in Cherry QAL
I've progressed quite well this weekend with my Made in Cherry quilt top. I spent my Friday evening avoiding the kitchen and cutting my squares and triangles for the quilt. It takes a lot of concentration trying to get every square the exact same size. I did have a few slips with the blade and ... READ the POST
You’ve gotta aim for the stars…or the shoes!
Despite a crappy cold I've been suffering with all week and not being able to do any exercise, I'm remaining on track this week. Following my last post, I've been thinking about how to reward myself when I get to certain goals. I need incentives and something to look forward to. I'm aiming high and ... READ the POST
What’s my motivation?
Feel like I've wasted most of January (on the diet front) to be honest.. 3 weeks in and only lost 3lb. I suppose it's better than gaining so I should be pleased with that. I've been reading some new blogs of late and am quite jealous how motivated and enthusiastic newbies to WW are about losing ... READ the POST
Weigh in update: Week 3 2012

The one where I tell myself off!
This weekend has been awful diet wise. I've eaten crap foods I know I shouldn't eat as they're high in points but for some stupid reason I've still done it. Friday night, I had ate my WW pizza followed by half a bag of onion rings that hubby had bought for his lads night in. I then ate a slice of ... READ the POST
Made in Cherry QAL
I've been wanting to join in a quilt along (QAL) for a while but didn't think I was good enough to give it a go. Well, I've been thinking, how on earth am I supposed to get any better if I don't have a go! I am totally in awe of Katy over at I'm a Ginger Monkey with the fantastic quilts that she ...
