    Hi all :cool:

    I haven't done too badly the past 2 days lol, i took the dog for a long walk yesterday(bout 1 1/2 hours) then went a walk with my OH for 20 mins later.
    I had a naughty lunch of bacon on crusty french stick with cheese(it is so delicous can't help it:embarasse) then had H/M spag bol for dinner with no garlic bread and snacks were 2 plums and a kiplings aaple and blackcurrent small pie.

    Today i have been out for a walk(20 mins) and short cycle home then got on with tidying up and getting rid of old stuff to clear out:T:T

    So far i have had:

    B: nothing didn't have time
    L: cheese omelette(well about 1/2) and a small bit of french stick(was finishing it off to be thrifty honest:A).
    S: satsuma
    D i am not sure yet not really that hungry at minute.
    S: Probably some more plums and some cereal.


    Seems since i am trying to cut bread out i am craving it lol especially hot soft buttered toast(drool:o) but don't think the bread has been too bad today.

    I usually only buy 1 loaf a week between the 2 of us and perhaps a pack of rolls and crumpets.

    I also have IBS and have found the bloat on my tummy is constantly there and near my period i do swell out a bit more, is a pain really:rolleyes:.

    Afternoon all, just back from the farmers market and spent a fortune in anticipation of my parents visiting! Some Lemon Curd and Banana and Chocolate Jam (sounds vile but it's really nice) somehow found it's way back here, and subsequently onto a piece of toast :rolleyes: whoops!

    Did quite a long walk around the shops too and I'm about to half an hour of Yoga and then half an hour of Aerobics on the Wii.

    Food today:

    Breakfast - Peach yogurt
    Lunch - Cheese and Brocolli Pasta and Salad
    Dinner - Veggie Enchiladas
    Snack - Slice WM Toast, half chocolate jam, half lemon curd.

    Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far :)

    Rachel- Good Luck :beer:

    Floyd- At least it wasn't a gain hun :T

    So today for me has been-

    B: Musli (Still liking it!)
    L: Salad in Wholemeal Pitta with a teeny bit of humous
    D: More Salad NO Pitta :j (Tonight's dinner was supposed to be veg but I was too hungry)
    S: Grapes, Kiwi and strawberries

    Ps Forgot to say.... I bought some lentils and bean thingymagics from Holland and Barratt yesterday and was shocked to see just how long they take to prepare and cook :eek: Does anyone know if I cook a load up and store them in the fridge for a few days?

    You can cook up a batch of beans and freeze them in baggies ready to throw into curries/stews/chillis etc. Red and green lentils I just rinse well and put straight into a stew - they normally take about 25 mins to cook.

    Hope you had a very nice birthday frogga. :beer:

    Rubbish-ish day today. 8000 steps so that was good, but eating was bad. grazed and grazed and couldn't stop! Even had a bowl of bran flakes covered in sugar half an hour ago in some sort of desperate sugar rush attempt. I'm going to try and list everything I ate today to see where I am going wrong:

    Breakfast: bowl of fruit n fibre (5.30 am)
    2 poached egg on toast with butter (10.30 - think this was the beginning of the end)
    Lunch: boots meal deal sandwich, water and low-cal choc bar
    snack: toast with hummus
    2 mini-milk icecreams
    Dinner: weightwatchers risotto, slice of bread and butter
    bowl of fruit n fibre

    Certainly got my fibre and bread today! Got to stay away from bread, it triggers a compulsion to eat and eat!
