Welcome kippaxmum and well done on your weight loss so far! Well done to pollys on your loss too!

hope you are all having a lovely evening! Where abouts in Canada are you from Marion? My cousins used to live on lake Michigan and I loved to go there in summers as a teenager.

I am from the West of Canada, born in Alberta and lived mainly in Alberta and BC growing up with some time in Saskatchewan. My Dad was a carpenter and we tended to go where the work was! I met my husband in Yellowknife in the NWT and we married in Calgary. I have been going to Canada every 2 years but now that I am retired I may not be able to go so often.:o
I have however been invited by some cousins to meet them in New York for a week in May, I am considering going!:D

Love
Marion

Recovering spendaholic, that's stracciatella. I just finished an Italian course with the OU and food came up a lot, including that soup. It's supposed to be made with chicken stock, eggs, parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs tho! Your friend's recipe sounds a lot healthier.

Thanks for this! I know its meant to have parmesan in but my friend's Mum didn't like it so she left it out! I didn't know about the breadcrumbs, but whenever we got it at my friend's house we got it served in bowls poured over broken up bread and butter - it was divine! I thought I had better 86 the bread in my version tonight given what I had already eaten today. How did you learn a language with the OU? I would love to learn a language but don't know how that would work with OU.

That's a fantastic loss Kippaxmum :T

Yesterday I ate too much really BUT managed to resist biscuits chocolate and beer. So a victory of sorts. Now just need to address the portion sizes and the breakfasts that seem to go on all morning. Part of the problem is that my monster baby has me up all night then really early, so I have breakfast about 5.30/6, then I'm hungry again at 8! And because I'm so tired the willpower goes to pot and instead of a banana I'll have buttery toast and sugary tea.

Yesterday had:

breakfast: musli, banana, hot choc options drink

lunch: another bowl of muesli

tea: 2 hunks of bread and butter with salmon paste, and hot choc drink

dinner: hm prawn pad thai (soooo good, but must find out how to make less calorific after I realised 1 tin coconut milk is about 700 calories :eek: )


Today:

breakfast: bread with butter and honey and sugary tea

lunch: cauliflower crispbake with lots of veg (using up carp things in the freezer)

dinner: root veg mash with peas,carrots and gravy ( my perfect comfort winter food when OH is away

Snacks: banana, hot choc drink

Not too good on the protein front though today, might add an egg in somewhere!

JoJoB, I use light coconut milk, it can be a b**ger to find, think I get it in Sainsburys, but it's ace. I love a thai curry but have to be very careful with fat content.

Oooh I've been to Alberta and BC - once, some years ago. Stayed in Banff and went to Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Mount Norquay skiing.... those were the days - the days where holidays were put on credit cards

Well done to all the losers.

Food today is:
b: oats soaked in water, honey and nana
l: minestrone soup (the one from my post yesterday )
d: chilli wraps

snacks: summer fruit crumble - no cream or custard or anything

Good Morning All, raining and overcast again! Sounds like a good day to be in my bedroom having a good old sort out and seeing what I can take to the charity shop - after I take Charlie to the park of course!;)

I am as usual and probably will be for the rest of my life doing EE!:j

Breakfast - half a pack of quark mixed with a couple of WW prune yogurts and a handful of fresh blueberries spooned onto 5 scan brans. (that should get me going:D) (free, free, free, 2.5 syns)

Lunch - HM bubble & squeak from last nights left over mash & cabbage although I will add some onion, with thick sliced ham and a couple of poached eggs. (free)

Dinner - HM chilli with vegetable rice. May make up a sugar free jelly for later although I am trying to get away from eating in the evenings. I have a big dinner at around 7pm - do I really need to be eating something 2 hours later? No I don't, it is just a habit which I will try get rid of!

Milk in my coffees will be my HEA and will use some parmeson cheese in my vegie rice as a HEB!

Love
Marion
