    Hi all. Well done to all especially those who are managing to jump back on the wagon after brief wobbles
    I have eaten ok today but trying hard to put off exercise as we speak!! Still very sore from the weekends exploits and it seems to hot for exercise! but I will get off my bum and do some as soon as I stop typing this ! Honest!:D

    B porridge
    L Pasta in abit of low fat mayo, cucmumber, cherry tomatoes, grapes and an apple
    D HM chicken curry a bit of rice and lots of frozen veg to bulk it up
    S 6 haribo sweets (these really are a vice for me but as I used to eat a whole bag in an evening I figure 6 sweets is a miracle!)

    L - bacon and scrambled egg in a healthy eating tortilla wrap
    s - 1 and half doughnuts (bought by husband - eaten my me:o)
    D - batchelors pasta baked with gammon and leeks plus cheese on top
    s - ice cream cornetto
    Oh yes - I also had a cold beer this afternoon in the garden - might have another one tonight as well. Not a particularly good start to the slimming week is it?:p

    Love

  • Well I've been off and on the wagon more times than I care to remember these past few weeks, but I need to gain control again once and for all. I was doing really well up until my holiday, but since returning I've been really slack. I remember before I went away I was at the gym for 2 hours 4 or 5 nights a week and there's no WAY I'd have let myself eat even a square of choccie. Now I find myself reluctantly going to the gym 3 times a week max and more or less eating whatever the hell I like :eek: (including lots of chocolate!) Anyway, onwards and upwards. I have a new goal to aim for (graduation for my Masters degree in September) so hopefully that will get the motivation going again. Today's plan is...

    B: Porridge + half an apple + handful raisins all mixed in (not really a summer breakfast but it fills me up all morning)
    L: Spinach + sun-dried tomato salad with a few olives. Grapes.
    D: Baked potato with tuna (no mayo, grr) and salad

    Snacks: 1 slice HM fruit loaf (fat free) and handful of raspberries

    Exercise: 30min walk at lunchtime and 5K run outside when I get home from work (it's FAR too nice to exercise in the gym on a day like today).

    Right, well typing it all out here is the easy part... sticking to it is another matter!

    Hi guys,

    Well I am back on the wagon but my meals are still weird!

    B: 3 slices wholemeal toast (from 400g loaf) with marmalade

    L: 2 corn on cob no butter (Tesco by work had !!!!!! all in today apart from BLT sandwiches so I had to resort to absolute basics!)

    D: Something like falafel or chicken zorba in pitta with yoghurt dressing and lots of salad

    Trying to avoid having anything sweet today as its just the start of a downward spiral for me ;)
