Hi all, I am new to this thread, have read the first and last few pages and hoping to wade through the rest tomorrow.
I weighed myself the other day and instead of losing the half a stone I wanted to I put it on!!!!!!!!:eek:
So have decided to actually watch what I eat, I am very proud of being a great cook, but it does me no favours sometimes! I thought if I posted here like you all do, it would force me to try to cut down as I'll be so embarrassed!

Won't post todays as it is so shameful! OH stupidly told me he didn't like the harvest chewie bars I bought him so I ate 6 of them...
Bad bad bad bad bad
oh, and as I write this I am drinking homemade hot chocolate, which I swear is healthier than instant but tastes very bad for me! Semi skimmed and green and blacks? How much fat can there really be in that? No, don't tell me!

Hopefully I'll be posting on here tomorrow all my healthy meals and snacks!

Hi Ragz, welcome

Today I have to get everything sorted for the road trip I'm taking my son on tomorrow. We leave straight from school tomorrow to go to Marlow, then on to Eastbourne. Other people cooking for me for 10 days, scary!

B - Special k choc orange bliss cereal bar
L - Small piece of smoked salmon and green salad
D - Left over LF Thai Chicken Curry

Recipes....

LF Thai Chicken Curry

1 large chicken breast (or 2 small ones)
(optional veggies, but preferably ones that can be 'stir fried' such as pak choi, spinach, baby sweetcorn if using)
4 tbsp of thai curry paste
1 can of low fat coconut milk
Spray oil
Rice to serve (optional)

Spray a large pan with oil, and fry off the thai paste, meat and optional veggies for 4-5minutes.
Add the coconut milk, stir well, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Serve with the optional rice, best served in a bowl as it's quite runny.

Tomato & Butterbean Soup (alternative to plain tomato)

8-10 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
tin of butterbeans
Basil & seasoning

Throw the tomatoes and onions in to a pan and heat until they soften. If the tommys are underripe you may need to add a splash of water to get the liquids going.
Add the butterbeans, basil, and seasoning and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Either serve as is, or blend for a velvety texture.

The butterbeans add protein to the dish, and if blended you won't know they are there!

Thanks for this Shelbell - do you think I could substitute tin toms? Would it still taste good?

Went swimming last night 8.30 after a kids club so when we got in the pool was empty and although more adults came not so many as on our usual night. Might suggest to friend we change nights. Did 50 lengths in an hour so was very pleased. When we first started going did 30 lengths, then after a year or 2 upped it to 40 and now we regularly do 50. My arms and legs are aching this morning but it is a nice feeling.

Bfast: cereal, lunch: salad and roll, dinner:quorn spag bol. Snacks: fruit.
