Big Macs, Jubilee Cakes...and my week 3 weigh in

First, the news from Jacksonville from Rachel (posted last Sunday)...

"We attended church today which was fantastic, made even better when we were greeted by people from Watford & Manchester! Felt just like home! We were joined for lunch by a family, who were originally from Manchester (Cheadle of all places!) and are now living on the same block as us!

The big news of the weekend is the tropical storms & hurricane threats! The storm is heading straight for Jacksonville from the Atlantic ocean and should hit at some point over night. Already we have seen the weather change as the rain has started and the winds have picked up.

We have been shopping and followed all precautions so are prepared for the storm. Just as a warning to you, we have been told the power is likely to go out for a number of days so we won't be able to update the blog, so don't panic if we go silent!!"

Since then we've heard nothing - but don't worry we've since been sent some photos, including...

An authentic American Big Mac (with drink and fries much larger than here!)


Back in Taunton it's been a week of school Jubilee parties,


making Jubilee cakes,



and preparing for our big Jubilee Fun Day on Sunday. And a week 3 weigh in for me...

14 stones 4 pounds

So, in a week when others have eaten genuine American Big Macs and home-made Jubilee cakes, I've followed the easy program devised by my officially qualified Nutritional Advisor (Suzy Tiffany Dip N.Adv) and lost another 4 pounds, making a total of a stone in 3 weeks.

Half way there with about 8 weeks to go!!!
