Day 1 - Back in the game

I've started posting my food diary on Minimins to try to keep me focused a little over this next 4 weeks in the count down to my birthday.... If you're interested in having a gander at my food diary, it'll be updated here:  Minimins - Food Diary So Day one, i was focused, i had a great breakfast, a great lunch and then my boyfriend came round...he's leaving for Australia today so we went out for dinner last night, i could have been good, in fact the place we went to i could have been really good, but it was my last night so.... We went to Turtle Bay, they have quite a few vegan options these days, and super tasty! they even mark their cocktails vegan..... If i'd only had the curry and asked for it without the bread and had a diet drink, i would have been so on plan! But i didn't, i had 2 cocktails, a starter and some plantain to go with my curry! BUT! all is not lost, i'd only had 2 syns all day to that point, so things could have been a lot wors...

After Christmas....

Its that weird time of the year that you feel like you shouldn't be at work, and there's almost no point to starting anything until the beginning of the new year.... And that used to be me....don't bother starting the diet until the New Year or don't bother doing that until you've 100% planned it out over the weekend. But not this time! There are 23 days until my birthday party and i plan on being on plan for at least 22 of them (NYE is pizza and pajama party) I went to weigh in yesterday and i only managed to put a pound on....pretty good considering! I would love to get another 10lbs off for my birthday party especially seen as i have ordered the size smaller in the playsuit i want, that's a 12/14 rather than a 14/16!! The rest of this week is going to be on plan, even with all the nights out I've got coming up, Friday, Saturday, i'm looking at you!! Not as SP as i'd like. But over the weekend i'm going to get planning some tasty SP m...

222 - Veggie Vegan

Last night I got all fancied up after work and went on a "fancy" date with my boyfriend (feels a little weird typing that after being single for such a long time) We aren't going to see each other over the Christmas period as i'll be heading back to The North to spend some quality time with my family and some of my besties! So we decided to go out for a nice meal, rather than our usual chain-restaurant dining. He asked me to pick the restaurant, he's happy to eat anywhere, and I've been lusting over pictures of food at 222 for a long time! So off we went to 222. We decided to get dressed up, its always nice to be a little fancy. Not going to lie, I can't help but love a boy in a shirt and trousers. I wore one of my fave little black dresses and felt fabulous! Now the bit you've all been waiting for....the FOOD!! We shared a starter: "Warm organic wholemeal pitta bread with a selection of dips: hummus, pimento and avocado." T...
