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!

Staring down the 30 barrel...my turning 30 bucket list

And so it begins... So I've been planning to write a blog for quite a while. Originally it was going to be about my new life in Manchester but my friend joked no one would want to read about the boring things I get up to and I got cold feet. I'm not really new anymore so I guess this is just a blog about my life in Manchester, being hopelessly single, dating and what's going on with me. I thought I'd open with a list (love a good list!) that I was going to keep private. I'm 30 next year!! And decided recently to make a 30 wish list - 30 things I'd like to have done by 31. I really should have started earlier and got them done before 30 but it's better late than never! 1. Climb a mountain. I don't know why really, I' ve just always fancied climbing a mountain. I don't own any climbing boots and I'm terribly unfit so preferably a small one. Google tells me the smallest one is Moel Siabod, Snowdon, Wales so maybe I'll aim for that. ...

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'...
