I've got thunder thighs due to my strong love of pies

After no activity two blogposts in one night! My friend Charlotte is an amazing blogger and always reminding me to update mine (which I forgot after she tells me anyway). I've recently started following Slimming World and talk about it on my instagram pretty often so thought I'd share my journey on here too!

I will be honest, I haven't actually joined Slimming World yet. I know the principles and I want to spend membership money on partying at Lost Village so I've been doing it at home with a bit of syns guesswork! I've lost a stone now so it's clearly working somehow.

That's all in jeopardy now though. I was hoping to limit my bad behaviour to Lost Village but I am hormonal and hungry as fuck. Honestly, I saw a picture of a munchie box on Twitter this morning and all day since it's been on mind. I've been researching where I can get one in Greater Manchester, imagining my dream Munchie box, wondering if I could buy a few Too Good To Go boxes and build one.

After a big bag of rainbow drops (oh hey 16 syns!!) fell into my face earlier I definitely can't stretch today's already eaten syns to a Chinese. So I made my own.

At the back is kale with sweetener and salt on it (synfree), baked in the oven for about 10 minutes. On my plate is 4 x Quorn southern fried chicken nuggets (4 syns), homemade chips (synfree), sticky five spice gammon made with lime juice instead of orange (1.5 syns) mixed rice and petit pois (synfree) and 20g of Aldi hoisin sauce (1.5 syns). So still 7 syns but a much healthier choice than a takeaway chinese!!

Now tucked up in bed with my nightly hot chocolate - hopefully tomorrow I will feel less hormonal rather than like a human hoover. Sweet dreams!

My friends are better than your friends

How do you get over a festival? Spend time with your favourite people of course! Boy, was it a good recovery week. Unfortunately I had to have ENT surgery before I could start having fun. I waited three years for it and I'm pretty sure it hasn't worked. My hearing is worse than ever - I can't hold the phone to one of my ears anymore because I can't hear it and I've nearly been run over about ten times now because I can't hear the traffic. But that's ok because I have wonderful people to cheer me up! I was blessed enough to be invited to my friend Charlotte's wedding on the Thursday. Charlotte is amazing - I met her through Twitter and she's one of the best people I know in Manchester. She moved up from London just before I did and she's smart, funny and sassy. She's the reason I ever write on this blog (she's encouraging as fuck) and she has an amazing blog herself. She got married to David, he is equally awesome. They are the kind...

A list can fix everything, right?

I'm off work today sick with a migraine so I've spent most of today sleeping fitfully and trying not to vomit on myself. I don't get migraines very often but when I do it's always done to one of two things; red wine or taking too much on. Some of my biggest migraines come at crucial life points - moving house, starting a new job, dealing with intense pressure. All moments when I could really do without lying in bed in complete darkness for 18 hours really. This time it's because I'm just so busy. It's completely my own fault - I keep taking things on because I love having plans and projects but my body is not cut out for it. I was involved with organising my friend's hen do the weekend just been (blogpost to follow about this) which was wonderful and although I enjoyed a lot of it I really felt the pressure to make sure everything was perfect. I know I'm not the only one who suffers with perfectionism, in this age of 'doing it for the gram'...
