    :j:j Shred arrived and first session done - my goodness she doesn't half work those thighs and shoulders :eek: and all those star jumps :shocked: - need to get a new bra I think :laugh:

    Tink - nice to see you back, I think quite a few of us can totally relate to what you've been going through and I hope things get sorted out through your doctor and blood tests.

    Welcome back, Tink! Glad you've managed to take those first few positive steps towards making yourself feel better. We've missed you! :)

    I haven't posted for a day or two as my neck and shoulders have been [STRIKE]knac [/STRIKE] hurting badly - a mixture of stress/tension and bad posture at my desk, methinks. So I'm restricting the time on my home lappy for a few days to try to get some relief.

    Today's plan (I'll draw a line under yesterday's..:rotfl:) is -

    Brekkie - hm muesli

    Lunch - hm celery soup (the dreaded soup) lo from last week and frozen. With a slice hm wholemeal bread

    Dinner - lo salad, hm potato salad and hm pizzas

    What's that? You can't hear what I'm having for dinner? Ok, time to 'fess up...it's hm pizza lo from yesterday's Father's Day - I made my parents make them - such fun!:rotfl:

    Beautiful sunny day here, almost makes the heavy rain of the last couple of days worth it. Ouch, don't hit me, I'm joking! :rotfl:

    Have a good 'un

    Hi everyone Im back with renewed vigour today :j

    I felt like poop this morning when I got up thanks to a weekend of eating total s**t and afew too many glasses of red wine sat night :o i dont drink very regular so it really effects me when I do!!)

    So Today:

    B: porridge, Banana
    S: Cheeries and a mini apple (part of Aldi super 6)
    L: LO roast chicken with salad, 1 jacobs flat bread cracker thing
    S: LF yog
    T: sausages roasted in oven with potatos, carrots and red onions (not the most diet friendly but ok)

    Im off swimming tomorrow

    Just need to keep the positive thought going :D

    Welcome back TINK I think it sounds a good idea for you to weigh in less often if a 'bad week' can upset you (it upsets me too!!!)

    Got a huuuuuge butternut squash :T – used half to make 6 portions of Curried squash, lentil & coconut soup – oooooh liquid velvet :drool: :T.

    Sounds delicious - do you have a recipe for it to share?? :):)

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend, good to have you back as well Tink.
    I was overall quite good although my OH made a huge Tiramisu I couldn't resist...which is about as calorific as eating sticks of butter dunked in double cream!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Loved the idea of the Tiramisu but the bit about the butter made me gag _pale_

    The soup is a BBC GoodFood recipe, but I cut down the quantities a bit.....not much freezer space....I don't seem to be able to do links have tried but not coming up, sorry, I just searched under Butternut Squash Soup.

    Afternoon All

    It's actually quite warm and pleasant here today - long may it last. I took DS, DDiL and DGD out for lunch today as DH was away. Since then I've done a bit of pottering around, writing letters, sorting stuff etc and trying to keep away from snacks. I've got work this evening so won't have a problem then.

    B: Grapefruit segments in light syrup
    L: Grilled chicken with new potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and cabbage - shared with DGD. Iced raspberry smoothie when I got home.
    D: Poached egg on toast. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
    Snacks: Piece of HM date and sultana oaty slice.

    Exercise: 6 mile run/walk in the ratio of 7 minutes running, 3 minutes walking eight times. More walking, to and from run, cafe, work tonight, DS's etc which adds up to another 5 miles.

    Thanks N2BT, I love the BBC Good Food website anyway so I'll have a look. I'm getting bored of the same old veg/chicken/tomato soup rotation.

    Edit: Found it here!

    Done fourth session of the Shred today, I feel ok after it now, no more jelly legs and unable to walk down the stairs! Amazing how quick the body adapts. I even did an extra bit last night as I was getting DH to go though some of the exercises with me, he's not overweight but want to turn his little bit of a belly into something more toned! We managed to get quite a lot done, was nice having the company, especially when the session ended in a little more exercise of the more enjoyable kind ;)

    Oooh ragz - how naughty! Is it supposed to have that effect?:rotfl:Good job I live on my own!

    Been quite good today and not had any snacks (yet).

    Food ....
    Breakfast - cereal bar
    Lunch - wholewheat seeded wrap containing spinach leaves and quorn bits, grapes and a satsuma
    Tea - Baked potato, beans and cheese with a dash of Worcestershire sauce
    Later - strawberries
    Exercise - total of 60 mins dog walking so far, Shred later
