My First Week On The New Slimming World Plan 4lb Off
My First Week On Slimming World It’s my first week on Slimming World’s new plan and I’ve lost a fantastic four pounds. I’ve been eating lots of fruit and veg, even though veg really isn’t my thing, along with chicken, meat and fish, and still enjoying a little treat using my sins, now called Swips. It feels balanced, doable, and I don’t feel deprived. Four pounds off in week one feels amazing and has really spurred me on. Next Christmas, I will be happy. Please give me a like and a comment to cheer me on, it honestly means so much ♥️♦️♥️

Jump-start Your Writing Journey
My dear friend Nancy had dreams of being a writer after commanding a classroom forever. She figured it would finally give her a creative outlet instead of taking up knitting afghans or cultivating orchids. She hated grading papers and wanted to expand her opportunities. As we met at Panera, she shared that she wanted people to read her thoughts and allow her personal legacy to live on. “Grand idea,” I said. “I want the same.”

A Breeze I Wish To Forget
The pictures upheld itself to Natajra’s standard as the driver cruises through the city. The skies were pretty, it wasn’t too hot or too cold outside, and the garden and palms trees were absolutely beautiful. Natajra pinched herself wondering if she was in heaven. “Ouch!” She whispered to herself as she rubs the tiny pain away.

3:17 A.M.
No one noticed the pattern at first. People rarely question a notification that wakes them in the middle of the night. They swipe, squint at the screen, maybe curse softly, then roll over and forget. That’s what made it work. That’s why it spread so quickly.

Logic and reason are not always explanation enough.
Logic and reason are not always explanation enough. Understanding is elusive He sat looking at the half empty glass but not seeing it, he was cold but not feeling it, he was in pain but not hurting from it. His mind was numb, his memory a jumble of conflicting events, as if from a nightmare but were in fact real. The phone rang for a long time before it gained his attention and then he tried to turn it off, an automatic reaction against coming back to reality. His mind preferred the numbness to anything else that was available. In this distracted state he accidentally accepted the call and put it onto speaker, the voice from the speaker jolted him into giving it his full attention. This was a call from the dead. The voice was full of concern, “where are you John, why haven’t you called, what is going on?” Even to his own ears his tone sounded subdued, defeated, “I am in the cabin, in the woods but I am OK will call you later” and he turned the phone off both ending this call and not accepting any other.
