Blue is the colour – Day 11

11.04.16Back to work today and I’ve decided to continue with the theme of Spring – even if the weather in South Shields doesn’t agree with me.  But it’s early yet so you never know the sun may come out.

So I’ve decided to go for this pale blue flowery dress to raise awareness of and funds for the Charlie Cookson Foundation

Winners lose – Week 11

It’s been a strange week diet wise.  I’ve been pretty good most of the week but have had two nights out which can always have a pretty negative impact on my weight.

Thursday was tapas.  And what can I say.  I love tapas.  I especially love chorizo.  All I can say is the diet went completely out of the window.

Then Friday was a retirement do for a brilliant UNISON activist, Merv Butler.  Not too bad on the food front but I did drink pretty much a whole bottle of Prosecco.  And that can’t be good for the diet.

I wasn’t confident. But only the scales have the answer.

And the result is…..

12st 6lb

Amazingly I’ve lost another pound so that’s another £1 for the Charlie Cookson Foundation.  And if I can lose another pound next week that will be 1 and 1/2 stone.  So this week I’m going to be extra good.

And my tip this week is……………

Being good will balance out the odd bad day.

Charlie Cookson – not just about wearing blue

Chris and Sarah Cookson set up the Charlie Cookson Foundation in memory of their son Charlie.  I recently talked to Chris and Sarah about their lovely boy and the brilliant work they do to support families with children who have life limiting illnesses.

Over the next few days I’ll share these videos but first let’s meet Charlie’s fantastic Mam and Dad.
