Good morning, everyone!

At SW group I had 'gained' a pound and a half and am bang on my current target.  I truly wasn't at all disappointed because earlier I had bought a few new bras and had to go down to a C cup so I'm now 36C which is exactly right and what I was as a young adult before the fat piled on.
AND
I bought a dress in the Debenham's sale, went for a size ten and it is loose.  No, I'm not an eight, but different brands size differently and I now know that for that particular brand I need to go smaller!
(imagine a big, happy smile as I type this!)

Yesterday's food photos.
It was a mixed up day yesterday.  I had my early morning swim, came home, showered, dressed, went into town and by the time I got home it was nearly time for lunch so I waited another hour and then had my soup.

Here it is, from the freezer, nice and quick to reheat and very tasty.  It was pretty spicy but perfect for a hungry oldie!!

After meeting I had this . . . plus a few more bits and bobs < embarrassed cough >.  I think it's safe to say I wasn't under my calories by the time I had finished.
I decided to cut the chips a bit thinner (I used the same amount of oil so not a problem) and they were lovely and crunchy and I added a couple of bacon medallions to the burger, just because!

It was most satisfying!

Today's meals are also a bit muddled as I'm off to Dad's.  After yesterday's also muddled meals, I want to organise today's a bit more so . . .

Brunch:  Carrot cake buns, yogurt
Right, well, this is a recipe I found on Tracy Mouse's vlog (YouTube).  You can find it here.

There's a bit more to it than usual (food wise, I mean) and I am subbing my wholemeal SR for what she uses and may sub dried cranberries for the raisins as I don't think I have raisins.
Also, I think I will top it with a mix of quark and some skinny syrup.
SW:  one healthy extra B and I'm counting three syns for the dried cranberries/raisins

Trying for no afternoon snack today but, if I have to, it will be fruit

D:  really not sure as it depends what Dad has in the freezer.  It'll probably be something oven-bake-y.

BM:  I was going to have a swim but yesterday's swim was an energetic one and I'm a bit achey this morning.  I've done my two and a half hours of exercise this week plus a bit more so today I'm calling a rest day and the next organised session is aquacise on Tuesday.

As I'll be at Dad's, meal planning in advance is a bit more tricky so I might post just to say what I have had rather than what I plan to have.  Back to normal on Monday!
