As some of you know, the past few days have been quite stressful for me and unfortunately in times of stress I head for the biscuit tin and I'm afraid the end part of this week was no exception. *blushes*
Anyway, I gingerly stepped on the scales, heard the "beep" and slowly looked down...
Current weight: X stones 0.8lbs
I've lost 2.6lbs!!! Yay!!!
I know it is not a great deal, as I usually lose more in the first week, but I am dead chuffed that I have lost some weight as my exercise has been zero and it is so hard to drink 2 litres of water when it is so cold outside.
I went on the Wii fit this morning so have done a little exercise today and was surprised how quickly I was out of breath.
I have decided to show a "before" pic of my "Mii". lol
Those of you who have a Wii Fit will know if you gain weight your Mii gets fatter! Eek! I'm hoping that my "after" Mii will look more like Kate Moss! ;-) (well not quite, but you get the idea lol).
Wish me luck for my diet this week.
Well, before I sign off I thought I'd post a couple of pics of my shabby/rustic finds.
I got these 3 tin pails from the Lakeland Sale, reduced to £4.99 for all 3. Our living room is rustic red and gold so they will look lovely in there, and they have hearts on them which I love too.
I also managed to pick this up in Morrison's for £5 just before Christmas and I think it was a great price.
Well as it is still snowing outside, I think I'll shall do some baking to fill up that cake stand!
Oh yes before I forget, I've updated my Choc Orange Cake post with the family verdict.
Have a lovely weekend and keep warm.

Well done on your weight loss :) I love the cake plate and those red buckets are fab (off to look at the Lakeland site) x
Well done on your weigh in .... I just wish I could keep away from the biscuit tin myself. I love that cakestand too ... what a bargain! Think I'll try your choc orange cake recipe tomorrow too. Have a lovely evening x
WELL DONE YOU!It's sooo hard to lose weight...i should know..Iv'e been on sooo many diets.I lose ok but I can't KEEP it off!
Having a dog helps as you have to get out there and walk,even if you don't feel like it.
I would have gone for those tins too,as I'm a red and hearts girl.

Thanks Debbie - they also did oval ones in the same colours, wish I had bought those too now!
Thanks Lala - if you try the cake recipe, if you have a large enough tin, I would suggest using just the one tin to cook in and then slicing it in half as the original recipe says. I think it is less likely to be dry that way. Let me know how you get on.
Thanks Bella - we must have similar tastes as I've noticed on your blog you like Cornishware too. The boys would love a dog but I know it would be muggins here that would have to clear up after it so...
Hi - thanks for your confession (am almost feeling strong enough to see what else I have lurking!) Let me know when it's finished! xx
