How to lose weight without trying much.

Stress. Furry Mama has had a pretty rollercoaster week one way and another, so Baggy almost didn't go to Fat Club because she was dreading what the scales would say. Well, they said that Baggy did okay - she lost a pound. Phew! This week Baggy is going to be "on it". Creative Clara really wants her to win another "shiny" (as she calls the award stickers)! Amazing what motivation a shiny sticker can be to Baggy. But Clever Bird assumes that the stress of worrying about and looking after Hinge made her lose the pound. But to be fair, Slimming World's way of eating is so simple and so ingrained in Baggy's psyche now, that even when Freda Fretter knows that Baggy is being bad, she's not being that bad. Baggy likes eating more healthily, because she feels so much better for it, so this week she is going to stick to the plan totally!

So Baggy started by getting Furry Mama to take Minty Mutt on a long bluebell walk. The smell is amazing. Calum was left at home to look after the Hinge cat.

The Hinge is doing well. Freda Fretter is pretty sure that she isn't licking her tail, but without the cone on to stop her, it's not easy to be certain without watching her 24/7. Baggy is disappointed though, because Calum, Mint and she were meant to be going to see friends in Lincoln this weekend, but they can't leave the Hinge for that long. So instead Baggy is hopeful of getting a bit of a day out on Sunday or Monday - it is mainly for Creative Clara to do some research for her novel. Watch this space!

Grotty Groom is really missing the horses. But to be fair they are probably not missing her that much - not with so much spring grass to eat. She is hopeful that they will be swapped onto night time turnout this week, then she can go back and start looking after them herself. Believe it or not, she can't wait! That will burn a few pounds off.........
