    Thanks for everyones good advice and motivation (and comiserations!). I has a better day yesterday. The only slight deviations from the plan were half a slice of bread (devil bread how I love you!) and a bit of elmlea on my cake! I did go on the Wii Fit for 1/2 hr tho so not too bad overall.
    Melliec - Welcome! Nice to meet you! :beer:

    RS - Huge hugs for you! I hope it all goes well! Don't forget that the internet always gives the worst possible diagnosis. I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you! (Not an easy thing to do that!!)

    Marion - That seems like a good idea. I know I start the day well and my plan changes so much that by the end of the day I convince myself I've still eaten well when realistically I've rolled right off!! :rotfl:

    Newlywed - Feel your pain! My battery died on Friday and I had to get my boyf. and housemate (both not so fit) to push me down the street so I could get it going again. Thankfully the diagnosis from Mr. Halfords is that the battery is fine, just needed charging! :money:


    Hello to all the rest of the new people I didn't meet over the last week or so - I've been hiding cos I knew I was being bad!!

    Well done to all of you who are seeing the pounds drop off!

    Right enough of the essay and back to todays plan:

    B - A yoghurt - 1.5
    L - Pitta with ham and L.fat soft cheese - 3
    D - Eggs on toast with carrots mashed. - 6
    S - HM Cheesecake. - 3

    I'm using up the left overs today so a bit of an odd mix but it does the job!

    Good morning everyone! Yesterday was my second day of being 100% - I think 3 days is my record so we shall try for a record breaking whole week!:j So the eating is fine but the fields around here are all flooded so not taking Charlie out on long walkies because not sure if he can swim or not :rotfl:!

    Yesterday I had:
    Breakfast - bacon and eggs with grilled tomatoes and 2 slice wholemeal nimble toasted (free, free and 5 syns)

    milk in coffee (HEA)


    Lunch - roast veg - peppers, onions, garlic and baby tomatoes - cooked in 1 tblsp olive oil served on top of a big bowl of cous cous (free, free, HEB, free)


    Dinner - George Forman grilled chicken thighs with peas and carrots and 300g of mcCains rustic oven chips (free, free,3 syns) I asked my butcher to skin and bone them for me - saves me the work and he does a much more efficient job at it than I do!



    My normal raspbberries and yogurt and meringue for dessert (free, 2.5 syns)

    I must say I really am feeling pleased with myself :D

    Love
    Marion

Wholemeal cheese sarnie for work today, diner will be left overs there's some salad bits need using up and some beetroot so maybe a soup as well and omlete. Have a good day all.
