Let's root for each other and watch each other succeed.
Well I had a fabulous day yesterday, started with a NSV, I was able to fasten my jacket which I haven't been able too, that means my hips have to have shrunk a little - result.
Next I went to get weighed at Elle's workshop and I'd lost 2lb, that's 9.5lb since the beginning of May, I was buzzing because I haven't been perfect, I've not filled my journal in, I have been tracking on my app still and that's okay, the time I would've spent on my journal, I've been using to cook which is helping me more this week.
The August edition of the WW magazine had arrived on the morning so I had a quick flick through it and was so impressed with the recipes in there that I wrote the ingredients down for 3 of them and went to Sainsbury's on my way back from my workshop to get them.
This was the first one I did, egg & broccoli noodles, really good and only took 15 minutes total time which is my kind of cooking.

It reminded me of my chow mien recipe which I'll have to do again soon.
