Back on it maybe?

So I've just worked out i've been back on weight watchers 6 wks now and I've lost a total of 4.5lbs. To be fair to me until the week before last I was only really playing at it so I was very excited last week to have lost 4.5lbs in one week. But this week has all gone to pot, I think I'll be lucky if I don't gain.

 I was good on Saturday then Sunday it went downhill mainly because I had to bake a cake for my cousins birthday I was very proud of how it turned out.


As am no longer preggers I found my self licking the spoon of raw mix ( I know but this has been one of my fav things to do since I was little) I also was finding my self eating the yummy Betty Crocker icing too.

Monday we had a family BBQ though the food choose wasn't terrible until the pudding which of course consisted of my chocolate cake and of course I had to have some of it.

The rest of the week was ok until Thursday when after a nice long walk I went for cake. Friday was just as bad as hubby wanted to pop down the pub so cider it was for me.

Longshot is I've used all my weeklys all my activity points and then some.

Why oh why is it so much harder the 2nd time around? Will I ever fit back into he Levi's ?

Books I’ve read

I think if I actually wrote a list of all the books I've ever read I would be here for years.

Even though I have mild dyslexia thanks to my mum I have always been a big book reader. As a kid I remember have the whole collection of the Roald Dahl books my favorite stories were Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda. I do wish I'd kept hold of these bit no doubt I will be reading them to my son at some point in my life




As a young adult mum got me into Harry Potter and once I had read one I had to read the rest, lucky for me I had a few to keep my occupied so waiting for the 4th one wasn't that bad but as some o you know waiting for the last 3 was hell. These are one of the full sets of books I own. Of course me and mum were like children mega excited when we heard they were making them all into films and made sure we always saw them within a day of release. I differently think these will be one set of books that I will pass down to my son and read them to him when he's a bit older.



My 2nd favourite set of books I own are the Shopaholic series, maybe as the remind me of me somewhat though I'm not as bad as Becky I don't have an emergancy credit card in a block of ice in the freezer! 


My 3rd and last set of book I own are the I heart series. These are written in a similar way as the Shopaholic set and just crack me up. Like the others I like sets that have one main charter that you can follow on their ups and downs. Maybe what I liked 1st about this book was it was about a young girl who discovered her boyfriend was cheating on her so she packed her bags and moved to NewYork.


Since 2011 I have owed a Kindle one of the best things I have brought, mainly because when I used to travel to work and back everyday on the bus I used to use that time to loose myself in a good book. I find less and less time now to read books for myself, of course I am reading to my son though I don't do it as often as I should but as he gets older I differently want to make a book part of his bed time routine.

So what books have you read do you have a favourite?
