Welcome Aboard Bella!

Someone who makes me smile - Lizzo! I rememer hearing her singles Batches & Cookies and Rapture ages ago and loving it. Seeing her get this long-overdue attention, endorsement deals and talk show appearances is great. But she's been great since way back. Do yourself a favor and get a dance party going with your daughters like I do. I also used to play the flute and now my oldest wants to try it thanks to Lizzo. Representation matters!

Feb. 6th:

I believe that I am really good at being authentic to myself. In core beliefs, hobbies, clothing, friendships food, dating and lifestyle in general. I'm glad I know who I am.

How are we feeling Team????

#5 Ok, what my friends would say about me - witty, generous, honest (to a fault)

something that makes me happy - I guess posting pictures of all the food I can't have anymore would be bad, right? I'm going to go with Sakura Matsuri --and just plain old cherry blossom season in general. I think it is one of the prettiest natural occurrences and it always reminds me of the wonders of the world no matter how gloomy I am feeling. This picture is from 2010, me and the hubby resting under a tree, talking about me starting to lose weight so that we could have a kid. I never got to lose that weight then, but I found out I was pregnant a few weeks later.

Picture perfect...?

It is my fathers birthday today and he always makes me smile!
Also I love my kitties and they make me smile with all the silly things they do or when I am just thinking about them!
I cheated today as I had one bite of brownie and one bite of cheesecake for my fathers birthday but I only stayed on one bite :p
Good think is I am going to gym and swim half an hour minimum

Ready to see this lazy girl exercise ?

Gosh I'm behind. Here goes:
4. Done. [emoji850]
5. Happy, kind, incredibly intelligent with an IQ off the charts (I'm sure that's what they say, don't they??)
6. I'm pretty good at assimilating information and communicating it to others (I should do, I spent years training how to do exactly that)

4. Soz too revealing
5. My eighteen year old cat. She was left stranded by a neighbour so we took her in. Then she emigrated to Ireland with us (her ticket was more expensive than ours) and has been long the roost the whole time even though she is getting quite senile now.
6. Had to choose a non-family or friend for obvs reasons, so even though I don't know him personally, the funniest person in the world is David Sedaris and his books always have me snorting a hot beverage out my nose!

I am full on crazy cat mom so awwww ??
I immigrated with my previous cat from my home country here to Spain and indeed his ticket was more expensive than mine too!!

How are we feeling Team????

Oh lads, I had THE WORST DAY.
It started off with a protein pancake. It was a sample from the chemist and it tasted so fake, so I put some canned whipped cream and sugar-free syrup on it and by breakfast end I'd used up over 300 calories without feeling satisfied so I ate a protein bar but then I felt sick. So I didn't eat lunch, got hungry and lost the battle that had been raging in me for over a week to buy junk (yeah, I crapped out on the challenge). So I'm stuffing my face with chickadees and Mars Bars knowing full well its going to make me as sick as a dog. Lads, the taste wasn't even good! The chocolate was sickly sweet and the chickadees were overly salt and processed nothingness.

THEN came the dumping and reactive hypoglycaemia.

After I recovered I ate a white bread roll with smashed banana and chicken nuggets.

I literally don't know what happened to me. I have been SO GOOD for months with only a minor slip up now and again. What the heck???

Back in the saddle tomorrow and I'll assess the damage at next weigh-in, but I feel like an alcoholic that is on that naxalone drug and I couldn't even get "high" just sick and now I'm regretting everything.

Sigh. Oh lads, just when I thought I was in control. Oh well, onwards and upwards.
