Up a pound this week - not a surprise. A friend did talk some sense into me though. She has been losing weight over a few years and has done a fantastic job. She only has a few more pounds to go, but is finding those last ones the hardest. She is maintaining her weight really well, and said that when she gets those last few off she should be fine. I had never thought of it like this before. Over the Christmas period I have watched what I have eaten, but have still eaten nice things. I have pretty much maintained my weight - swaying up and down a pound. So, I don't have to cut back forever - which I was starting to feel. I would be quite happy eating as I have been eating, so just need to shed those last few pounds first.

This week my husband is working away. This is a perfect time for me to slip up. In an effort not to, there is a freezer full of weight watchers meals for one! As I can't make the gym, I will aim to do the school run once a day.
