Arrrrrgh!! Health rant!!!
Hi Everyone I've had a horrendous week, so I've been a coward and not even braved the scales!! I know I really should, but I've had a lot of health issues and have been too unwell to stick to my 'good stuff' and cook/ shop for myself! I've been forced to use take-away and ready-meals.
