17 Feb 11 - The joys of spring?

Yesterday, I thought spring had sprung, it was sunny and warm and the crocuses were blooming! Today it's back to the cold, damp greyness that is England!

I had yesterday afternoon off to join the gym and loved it! I did 20 mins on the cross trainer and then 10 lengths in the pool, which I had to myself for most of the time!  I then wallowed in the jacuzzi for at least 15 mins - I was imagining that the bubbles were literally beating the fat out of me! And I finished off in the sauna!  So all in all a very nice afternoon.  It felt great to be able to do some exercise and then have some relaxing 'me' time and I came away feeling great!  I'll be very happy if I can do that a couple of times a week, just a shame works here to get in the way!

For dinner last night I decided to do a chicken pasta bake.  I haven't used pasta since starting WW and was shocked how little pasta you get for the points.  4pp gets you 40g of pasta and that really looks a pathetic amount.  Anyway, once I got over my initial shock, I got on with cooking and added loads of veg to the sauce to bulk it out and ended up with a huge, delicious and really filling dinner.  So maybe WW do know what they're talking about afterall!  Yesterday was the first day I used all my points up too :-)

I've just eaten a box of WW mint humbugs in about 10 mins and now feel very sick! But they're just so moorish!

Just remembered, last night when I was looking at our money situation for next month (I like to plan ahead!) my DH said he needed about £100 more than usual as he was getting me a suprise! How exciting!  At first I thought it might be a Kindle but then he mentioned going to John Lewis to get it and you can only get Kindle's from amazon I think.  He hinted that it would save space! Huh?  Trouble is, he's awful at keeping secrets and he's bound to tell me before I actually get it.  He also said he was worried I might not like it! Really confused now, but excited too! I'll let you know what it turns out to be x
