I've not done great food wise today and went 1/2 a syn over the higher limit I should be allowed. No excuses... I'm going to a wedding tomorrow so I am not looking forward to trying to count my alcohol and buffet 'syns'!
Thursday 5th August - Green
Breakfast - Hi Fi Bar, fruit and vanilla Muller Light yoghurt
Lunch - Tomato and Herb Mugshot, pack of Worcestershire Sauce French Fries (4.5 syns)
Snacks - 2 Mini Babybel and cup of tea with splash of milk (HEA)
Dinner - Chicken Noodle Stirfry
Snack - 4 Finger Kit Kat (11.5 syns)
I also did an hour Zumba fitness class so don't feel as bad about going 1/2 a syn over. I can almost feel my waist being sucked in with all the mambo and salsa moves!
So tomorrow I am going to a wedding and am quite embarrassed to say I will be wearing mainly Marks and Spencer's clothes, including Marks and Spencer nail varnish. I can't find an image of my dress anywhere but it is beige silk with sequin embellishment on the bust and a big bow. My shoes are beige peeptoe with a hidden platform and a turquoise heel. To enhance the turquoise heel I have a Jacques Vert turquoise clutch and turquoise nail varnish. I can't find pictures of any of these things online so I'll have to post a picture after the event!

Officially a Slimming World member
So I joined Slimming World last night. I was truly horrified with my weight gain meaning I am now 'overweight' according to the BMI. Can only get better from here though right? I'm not sure the actual meeting is for me. The whole 'woo I lost a 1lb, everyone clap' thing seems a little laborious but I would be devastated if I had to sit there and explain why I had put weight on so I can't think of anything that is more of a motivational tool!
I decided a trip to the supermarket was in order so bought lots of Muller Lights, chicken, steak, potatoes, fruit, etc. I love that Percy Pigs are only 1.5 syns each and Galaxy Bubbles bars at 8.5 syns each are great too.
Wednesday 4th August - Extra Easy
Breakfast - Hi-Fi Bar
Snack - Galaxy Bubbles (8.5 syns)
Lunch - Jacket Potato with left over quorn bolognaise
Snack - Hob Nob biscuit (3.5 syns)
Dinner - Chicken, Noodle and Veg Stir Fry
Orange with choc sprinkles Muller Light
2 Percy Pigs (3 syns)
I'm reading Dead Sky by Tami Hoag at the moment. I've not read any of her novels before but I am enjoying it so far. It is a 'suck you straight in' type book.
I bought a new dress that arrived today.... it is for a friend's wedding and was supposed to be £120 from Monsoon but I found it on Ebay for £34. Bargain if you ask me and the picture is below! I bought the size bigger than I would normally buy and it is ever so slightly too big. I like clothes to be this way but when I lose my 2 stone excess weight I will have to get it taken in!

Newbie to blogging... God help me!
I'm new to this blogging malarky but not new to what a blog is so that is a good start.
I lost over 6 stone on the Weight Watchers diet around 2003 but have managed to pile 2 stone back on. Not an enormous amount considering and I am still within a healthy BMI weight range but I'm not comfortable and want to lose it so I can get back in all the pretty dresses I own. So I thought the best way to stay on track would be for me to have to write something in here.
I am a self confessed dress and shoe addict. I daren't count the amount of dresses and pairs of shoes I own but I have an addiction to any kind, expensive or cheap.
I am a huge book worm and regular on http://www.readitswapit.co.uk/ forums. Here I will post my thoughts and reviews of any books I am reading at the time. This is also a bit of an addiction to me as I own over 250 books that I am yet to read. Ouch... this list and previously read books can be found at http://www.goodreads.com/ with the username SparkledPixie. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
I'll include a food diary, any shopping trips or purchases and a general overview of my life as this is pretty much what my life consists of! Any hints, tips or observations are welcomed.
