Cheesecake

I was desperate to bake though I was fed up of cake. So after watching James Martin on This Morning I copied his raspberry and chocolate cheesecake. Rather than cream cheese it has mascarpone and creme fraiche. It was nice enough, though cheesecake is not a favourite (with the exception of my Bailey's Irish cream one!)

So I started at 15st 5lb. Got to 14st 7lb (12lb loss). Now since I've come off plan for a bit (a big bit) I've settled at 14st 10lb. Now this is good. The nutritionist told me that it's best to lose some weight, then maintain, then lose some more. Just going straight for my 5 stone loss isn't good and just means I'll probably put it all back on. My body will fight to get back to what it thinks is my normal. So you trick it, do it a step at a time, so I get a new 'normal'. Fingers crossed it works. I do need to remember to still weigh myself daily. It's so easy to slip.

I've found a new game for my phone. I'm not a big game player (a daily word game, occasional brain training game and the odd Tetris) but this one is addictive! I literally hate to put it down. Who knew? Ha ha. Anyway on Monday night, after a mammoth session, I couldn't sleep. So I googled! (I know, I know, still on my phone). I thought I'd share my nighttime Google with you -

Tortoises - did you know it's not illegal to buy one (I thought it was) but they must have been bred in captivity! They're about £100 and the kit is another £200-500. And whilst cute they are not that easy to look after.

Watermelon sugar - might have a rather rude meaning (new song by Harry Styles) but I think it's more likely just gobbledegook.

Ciabatta bread mix - I used to buy this a lot to make my favourite pizza, but it's completely out of stock, everywhere! It is available on a few unique websites but postage was stupid. If anyone sees it in the shops please let me know.

Shopping on Amazon - yes I bought something. Some bone shaped cookie cutters for my homemade doggy biscuits. They were £1.46 and this included p&p. And they were delivered on Wednesday! Crazy mad.

I'm not sure about the future for this blog. Now it's not posted on Facebook my reader numbers have dropped. Thank you for reading and sticking with me. Let me know if you want me to continue. I want to write if more than my mum and husband read it lol xx
