Hi Guys,

What a week, with my Birthday and work i have had hardly any time to get on here and tell you all about my fab Birthday meal on Monday at The taste of Oz at Ringland Norfolk.

What a meal! We have been there a few times, and as it was my birthday so i got to choose where we went and i really fancied some Ozzy delights.

The place is a bit far out from Norwich and a bit scary driving in the dark but it’s worth it. The place is brightly decorated with a huge Marlin floating above the restaurant.

The staff are so friendly and helpful, There was so much to choose it took us a while, and they didn’t mind waiting for us. (I hate staff who are pushy to get your order through as fast as they can.)

So to start with I had (get ready for this!) Deep fried Squid and Crocodile with chili dipping sauce, this was amazing and spicy. The crocodile was so wonderful, tender and succulent just like chicken!

The Fiancé had field mushrooms filled with garlic and crème fresh – i of course had a try and they were beautiful with the garlic.

For mains i pushed out the boat and had a big platter of different fish which included Marlin and John Dory, all grilled. They were all so mouth watering, it also came with these huge prawns! I also got chips and salad with it which was really hard going, but you will be pleased to know i only left a few chips and a bit of marlin.

The other half had Marlin with roasted new potato’s we both found the Marlin amazing in flavour but really hard work, its a gorgeous meaty fish but there is a whole lot of it on your plate!

So sadly with all that yummy fishy delights in out tums, the dessert was a no no, Mr Marlin really filled us up!

The wine of course is mostly all Ozzy and i had a lovely large glass of their rose – it was a perfect glass not too sweet. The love of my life had a Mock tail (ha, he had to drive. it was my birthday!) which was fresh and lush. (with a hint of Havana Club i would of been back in Cayo Guillermo in Cuba where we went on Holiday.)

So if your looking for a lovely night out, and a bit of a change with your food, head on down to the Taste of Oz - you wont be disappointed!

Hi Guys

Sorry it has been a while, Busy with the new job!

Now I have had a real big think about this whole wedding thing (please can I let all Family and Friends know this September next year date I am banging on is only a thought not a def – so please do not feel I am leaving you guys out if I haven’t told you a date because it’s not set in stone )

So if I want this to really happen and get married next September I worked out a few things:

• I have over 52 weeks to lose weight
• I have over 42 pounds to lose
• I need to go to the gym at least 3 times a week
• I need to stop all the rubbish and booze going in my mouth (most of the time!)

So this is what I NEED TO DO!

I must be at least 10stone before I am getting anywhere near a wedding dress!

So please if you have any idea how to help motivate me I want to know!

Lots of Love

Tewsday xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Grr! I just can’t stand it, I finish work then have to walk 30 minutes home! It is so long! I know when I was at my old job it took me 15 – 20 minutes to walk home (and I thought that was bad!) Now I have to walk a extra 10 minuets it just kills me!

I know you are all saying it will do me good, it will help with my weight battle – but it hurts!

Why oh why do they not do a bus what goes past my work i would love that! just sit on it and cruise home ahhhh what a lovely thought

I keep getting really bad pain in my ankles and no matter what shoes i wear (I even bought proper walking trainers!) it still really hurts.

Ah well just gotta keep on going

Well It was my first day at my new Job and as always it’s a new week and a new time to try and really work hard to lose this weight!

I have not weighed myself yet this week so gawd knows how much i weigh!

I have less than 2 weeks to my joint Birthday party with my Fiance and the task i set of losing 6 pounds before the party is so not close!

So here it is: New Job, New Diet yes i really am going to sew my mouth up and try to not eat! i have a extra 10 mins to walk to work so its now a 30 mins walk each way – so i am getting the governments daily exercise they keep banging on about. So lets just see, Of course i will keep you guys updated

Today i ate:

Breakfast – Crunchy nut cornflakes with semi skimmed milk

Lunch – whole grain brown bread with tuna and sweetcorn sandwich

Tea – Low fat Birdseye Chicken Tikka meal

So not doing to bad – Oh and i had a small glass of Rose wine lol!

Last night i came in from a few drinks with friends and remembered listening to James King on Radio 1. He was talking about a film on BBC called Just Friends staring Ryan Reynolds and the funny Anna Faris (Scary Movie). So I thought why not give it a little watch.

This film was so funny, I can’t really belive i missed it when it first came out. I mean it has everything you would want. Its great because us girls get to stare at the sexy Ryan Reynolds and that hot bod grrrrrr! The boys can enjoy the slap stick brother fighting moments.

The film is about two best friends who grew up with each other and parted ways in later life.

Reynolds character, Chris, becomes a famous hot looking music producer and a notorious womaniser. He gets stuck looking after a up and coming bratty pop star called Samantha (Anna Faris) who looks quite a lot like Britney!

They are ment to go to Paris but takes a de tour to Chris’s home town.

As a teen Chris was obese and best friends with a cheer leader called Jamie played so well by Amy Smart from Road trip.

The film whirls around Chris trying to show Jamie he loves her, and Chris’s little brother trying to keep Samantha entertained without her knowing what is going on between Chris and Jamie.

Chris Kline from American Pie makes a great appearance in this as another geeky teen turned hot called Dusty. Dusty wants to get back at Jamie for never going out with him so he leads her on, which ends in some great slap stick moments with Chris.

So i highly recomend this film, especially if your a big American Pie, Road trip and Van Wilder fan.

Have Fun.

Tewsday.

Hi Guys!

Well today has been another failed attempt of losing weight! I started off good.

Breakfast: bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes with semi skimmed milk (see… v.v.v good)

Mid Morning snack: Chocolate cake and coffee (oopsy slipping slowly!!!)

Lunch: Lunch with my Pal at Pulse (a veggie restaurant at Norwich = good girl getting veg in! I could pull this back you see sadly all the food I had was either deep fried or covered in cheese!) Yes we shared a big bowl of nachos and these weird pea and parmesan fritters. Damn I really have slipped!

Dinner: Healthy chicken breast with salad and small side of oven chips. This isn’t bad if all the other naughty stuff didn’t happen!

So as you see today hasn’t been the best for my diet, but at least I walked into the city and back! I get a tiny gold star for that!

Welcome to my new blog all about me and my experiences with trying to lose weight and get in shape. I’ll also be chatting about other things going on in my world and things i’m interested in like fashion and celebrities. Although my biggest interest is in cats!!

As you can tell already i’m a big fan of lolcats from icanhascheezburger.com .. expect to see plenty of these!!

You can read more about my story on my About me page

Take care,

Tewsday
