    Morning folks :hello:

    Brekkie1 (pre-swim)- slice of rye toast with a bit of jam
    Half hour swim before work
    Brekkie 2 - soaked oats with apricots, prunes and soya milk.

    Lunch - salad (all homegrown :j with avocado and hummus, cherries
    Tea - not sure but it will involve courgettes as we have LOADS!!!

    I'll also get a longish walk at lunchtime as I have to go over to the other campus and can never be bothered waiting for the bus so will walk there and back.

    Well done the losers :beer:

    wow, thanks Toni! don't really feel like i deserve it as i've been so less successful this week! still, it's a lovely surprise!

    well, a good day yesterday - after dreading kung fu becuase i was so tired, i struggled at first but came out of it on a real high, he pushed us really hard so it feels like i achieved something (and for the first time i didn't flop down to the floor before the end of the 1 minute balance (we do a different one each week, handstands, side plank etc), really pleased with myself!).
    then home to the first lasagne attempt, it was really yummy! having the rest for lunch today (which means i'm already sat at my desk thinking about it, haha)

    so, today:
    spin before work
    b - low fat greek yofhurt with fruit and some crunchy cereal (breakfast meeting today)
    l - lasagne! with some salad
    s - yoghurt
    t - not sure, meeting a friend to buy a gift and have a drink, going to try and stick to only 1 bottle of wine (Between us!) and then go home so maybe eat when i get back

    have a good day everyone, great to see some really positive stuff on here today!

    I'm not consistent, I didn't put the 'blips' in :rolleyes:
    It's taken me ages to get this far but I'm not giving up now :D

    Change of plan for lunch, the avocado was rotten when I cut it :mad: so I'm having oatcakes with the salad and hummus instead :rolleyes:

    *tumbleweed rolls across the board*

    Gosh, it's quiet on here today :confused: where is everyone???

    I just had a really nice tea but it wasn't exactly diet conscious:o I made courgette tart, bit like a posh pizza really and we had it with garlic potatoes (again:rolleyes: ).

    Hopefully I won't have anything else tonight except maybe a yoghurt.

    Only had half my walk at lunchtime as it started to rain:mad: so I got the bus back but at least my glaucoma test was clear :j

    Hoping to get OH to the docs in the morning :rolleyes: and ex OH is apparantly still in ITU but is 'comfortable' ;)

    Lunch - Chicken thighs, grilled no extra fat and without skin, potato wedges and carrots, Fat-free yoghurt and blackberries from the garden
    Tea- will be wholemeal toast and no-cholesterol cheese, tomatoes, salad, pepper then yoghurt and more blackberries

    Tea with lemon, espresso coffee (just love my Gaggia!)

    Oops just found the 1960's coffee set in the loft has had an accident and the cups are smashed!!!
  • Hello
    Bfast: Cherios and coffee
    Lunch: apple and grapes
    snack: crisps and dohnut
    dinner: rice, with grilled mushrooms and peppers with stilton. Hmmm loverly.
    Would have been OK if the crisps and dohnut hadn't attacked.
    Oh just remembered also had two peanut butter sarnies. This is NOT the way to do it. Nothing more today. Don't open the fridge door.
