Afternoon All,

It's a horrible grey rainy day today - such a contrast to last Saturday! DH and I went out for lunch (again!) as we'd been recommended a pub where you get 2 courses and a tea or coffee for a fiver. We had a really nice meal but I don't think I ought to eat again as the portions were very generous. I'm off to work shortly until after 10 so will just take a banana to keep me going.

I had another trawl of the charity shops as I'm trying to build up a winter wardrobe in my new size. I got a grey/black jumper dress to wear with thick tights and boots and a grey fluffy angora type cardigan, plus a pale pink scarf and matching gloves that were still in their packaging. I now need to find a really nice pair of flattish knee high boots to wear for work as the pair I've got (which look lovely with the new outfit) are too high for working in.

B: Blackcurrant and apple LF yoghurt. Banana.
L: Steak, chips, onion rings, peas and salad garnish. Lemon Russe Gateau with ice cream.
S: Very small piece of HM flapjack with my coffee just before I go to work.
T: Banana.

Exercise: I must get back into routine as I didn't do my DVD again this morning. I had a quick walk to the library this morning and then a walk around the town we visited earlier so with walking to work I should have managed about 2 to 2 1/2 miles.

Here at last but better late than never. Unfortunately not been to well and seen more of the bathroom that bed overnight, hence

B - gave it a miss
L - gave it a miss
D - planned a korma but will see how I feel when the time comes
Snacks - none but plenty of water and a couple of cups of tea

Hope everyone's having a good weekend

I was just thinking the exact same thing - last Saturday I sat outside until late cooking a BBQ, which holds no appeal at all this weekend.

My day today isn't the epitome of healthy eating, but it's been another stressful day so I hope I can be excused. I've had:

B - thin slice HM brown bread with a heaped tsp of peanut butter; banana
L - cheese sarnie with a only small amount of cheese but with a thin spreading of mayo ; apple
D - chicken kiev with spicy beans and veg (I meant to have this last night but the kiev was still a solid lump of ice when I got home from work :mad: - so I swapped and had lasagne instead); a couple of glasses of wine (naughty, I know, but the bottle smiled at me so nicely while I was queuing at the supermarket that I couldn't resist it )

Exercise - I'm not sure if driving to Southampton counts - I don't like city driving, particularly when I don't know the city, and by the time I reached my destination my heart was racing as if I'd run rather than driving there! A 20 minute walk to the shops and back definitely counts, albeit not for much.

Have a pleasant evening, all, and welcome to yet more newbies! :wave:

ETA - hope you feel better soon, sparrer.

Sorry to hear you not been too well and hope you feel better soon - there are easier ways to get off that ledge you know

I have had one of those snacky days today, think it started with breakfast - thought i would have a couple of go for it sultana biccies and that turned into 6 :mad: i really should have had my cereal!

I remember having an orange and a pear somewhere along the way and an uncle bens risotto. I have just had a lf yogurt and oh just asked me if i wanted gammon steaks, pasta and garlic bread??? at 10.50pm?? I was going to have some garlic bread but then i thought its just cos he is cooking it i feel like i should eat something so i said no

Apart from that i can't remember what else i ate - and i know i did cos my jaw hasn't stopped much :rotfl: I have been trying to do healthy snacking rather than choc biccies etc tho so i don't feel too bad about the day. I did give in to a mince pie earlier but that was the only really naughty snack :rotfl:

I'm not managing the exercise bit really apart from the odd walk round the shops so i'm planning to get some of my dancy music out and have a boogie about on the days when i'm not getting out and about

Morning all - get well soon sparrer, it's not much fun feeling ill.

Well at last I had a good day yesterday! I think the gain has shaken me up a bit and shamed me into it, as you all seem to be doing so well and I feel to be letting the side down! Yesterday's eats added up to 1200 cals so hoping I am back on track again:

B - porridge & raspberries
L - HM Tomato & Basil soup, a Thins ham salad sandwich & half bag cheese curls. Mini banana & FF vanilla yogurt.
D - Smoked haddock, salad & few new potatoes. My own LF Eton Mess,
S - Few grapes, bag WW crisps, glass of red wine.

Have a good day all.

Morning all. Hope everyone is feeling well and up for it!
My meal plans for today are -
B - 2 [small] slices wholemeal toast, mashed banana
L - 2 small slices wholemeal toast, baked beans with a bit of grated cheese and worcester sauce
D - falafel, salad, couple of new potatoes.
S's - FF yoghurt, fruit, brazil nuts
exercise - an hour on the wi fit. Have also got to go shopping, so that will be a 2 mile walk [1 mile each way].
Have a good Sunday everyone.

Morning all and thank you for your get well wishes, don't feel quite so queasy this am.
Fairyclicks - some people will try anything . Won't repeat it in a hurry if I can help it though

B - brown roll with scrape of spread/marmalade
D - Omelette with hm 'ratatouille' filling (red/yellow pepper, red onion, grated carrot, cherry tomatoes)
T - Bowl F&F with ss milk
Snacks - apple, grapes, satuma, melon if it's ripe enough
All the above except B which I've already had depending on how my tum feels

Found a tasty replacement for my cornettos, mix some chopped fruit & nuts into a muller light and freeze it. It sounds dubious but is really yummy

Afternoon All,

Hope you are feeling completely better now Sparrer and are managing to eat the meals you have planned. I've had a very light breakfast and lunch so I can enjoy stew and dumplings tonight. It's DS's favourite meal and he has been asking for it for a while but today's the first Sunday we've had that the weather seems appropriate for it. I've made a huge panful so I'm hoping I can freeze half for a Sunday when I've got DGD so I don't need to spend long in the kitchen then. I've also had a good sort out of all my clothes and packed away all the summer ones, made a pile of ones that are too big that I might be able to pass on to my Mum and a pile that I won't wear for the clothing bank.

B: Banana
L: Cheese on 1 slice WM toast with cherry tomatoes and garlic. Apple.
Beef Stew and dumplings - with carrots, mushrooms, lentils and potatoes in the stew although I shall try to give myself a serving without any potatoes so I can have 2 dumplings!
S: Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.

Exercise: I woke feeling quite groggy this morning for some reason and nearly opted out of my DVD again but decided I needed to get back on track and actually managed 35 minutes (5 out of 7 circuits) of my Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD. I've also had a walk to the clothing bank to drop off the clothes I sorted out earlier and walked home the long way round to make it just over a mile.

Hope everyone is having a restful Sunday.

Good Evening x

Just catching up as it has been a busy weekend. Still keeping my activity levels up - just general pottering but much more than I usually manage :j:j:j Eating has been mindful and I have very much enjoyed my food :T:T:T

Congratulations to Slowly Fading and Bitsy on your respective 2lbs loss:T:T:T

Hope you are feeling much better Sparrer and weight loss vibes to all who need them x

Bitsy_Beans

So did a bit of swimming when we took the kids this morning, I am so out of shape where swimming was concerned. Have let myself down a bit with the mindful eating today though and at this rate 2lb loss will become a 2pm gain!!!!
Anyway fresh day tomorrow
