Stay warm

Agh, sorry, have been awol. Need to get back on track!!

Pre breccie - Declined biccies at stables (yay)
Breccie (or brunch (11am)) - 2x poached eggs on 2 x toast
Snack- little cake thing (Mr Kipling, pre packed thing, me bad, but it tasted so good!)
Lunch- Homemade soup
Dinner- Quorn breast, carrots, roast/mashed pots, cauli cheese. this sounds bad, but was a small portion. AND I declined the choc brownie that I made and the cheeseboard- not because I felt guilty, because I wasn't hungry

Exercise - 2 hrs yard work, dog walk around the fields, about 4h housework/general activity (I didn't sit down all day). Kernackered now (and slobbing)!!
Really wish I had a horse to ride, well I do, but he is too big and needs a bomb up his bum. My ridden horse is long term lame and likely a write off and I can't afford to keep another. Need to find another form of exercise that appeals to my lazyarse nature

B - grapefruit with plain yogurt
L > hangs head in shame, succumbed to a rtc triple :eek:sandwich in Mr A this afternoon. First was a king prawn with Marie Rose sauce in brown, next turkey, stuffing, bacon & cranberry jelly in white then cheese and sweet chilli pickle in brown - the whole called Christmas dinner triple. Oh I do wish I hadn't, I was peckish and should have bought an apple or something, now I feel bloated and uncomfortable with only myself to blame.

Supper - small bowl of F&F wih ss milk,

Exercise none, too full! Tomorrow I'll make up for it though, already planned what music I'll play while I'm dancing round the housework

Have a good (healthy!) evening

Evening All,

I've had another lovely day with DGD whilst DS and DDiL were at work - with lots more gluing and sticking, dancing The Animal Bop, stories, jigsaws etc.

B: 2 small bananas
L: Poached egg on toast. 1/2 Eccles cake
Butternut squash, tomato and chickpea bake with mashed swede. Raspberries with Greek yoghurt
Snack: 3 squares chocolate

Exercise: I went out running with my friend again this morning and seem to have agreed to train with her to run a 10K!!! We did 4.6K today but it took us 40 minutes so we will need to speed up. Also a short walk with DGD.

Hello,

What are the best salads people are eating which are healthy?

I have started on salads the last week as OH has lost half a stone recently by changing his diet to include this. I do like boiled egg salad, is this healthy? Any suggestions.....

LittleMoog

Blondy I think eggs are pretty healthy, good source of protein and "good" fats. Advice used to be not to eat too many due to high cholesterol content, but I think recent studies have shown that it doesn't cause your "bad" cholesterol levels to raise.
If i'm making a salad I have about 80% lettuce/chopped salad veggies and 20% of whatever protein I'm having with it, and only use a minimum amount of dressing (1-2tbsp) Things I like with salad - fish (salmon/mackerel fillets you can buy precooked, so it's dead easy), cheese (eg goats cheese/feta), chicken. Alternatively try replacing/reducing the carb part of your main meal with a big chopped salad on the side. Hope that helps

Todays meals for me:
Breakfast: fruit corner
Lunch: chicken salad sandwich, wotsits, apple, satsumas
Dinner: undecided, probably chicken fajitas as need someting quick after Tescos

exercise: tescos! Not sure it really counts, but I'm always exhausted afterwards! :rotfl:

Afternoon All,

I've had a full morning as I did my Shred DVD, then had a chat to DD on Skype, then went for a 7 mile walk and as soon as I got in it was time to go out again as DS was treating us to lunch. I'm now having a break with a coffee then need to shower and wash my hair ready for work at 4.45pm. I also want to do some sewing as I've turned an old duvet into window quilts. We've been using them for the past couple of days but I need to turn up the bottoms. My sewing machine is playing up so I'm going to sit and hand sew them and listen to Christmas music. They seem to be working well so I have another duvet to adapt for the hall door and windows when I've finished.

B: Raspberries with Greek yoghurt.
L: Double egg and chips. Coke
Snack: 1/2 Eccles cake.
T: (Packed for work) Either HM soup and bread or a prawn salad wrap depending on if I have time to make some soup. Banana.

Exercise: 20 Shred DVD. 7 mile walk plus another 2 miles of walking with trip to cafe and to work tonight.

Rose

PS We decided to go to the pictures very last minute last night and I'm afraid I succumbed to a white chocolate Magnum in the interval despite having already had my calorie allowance for the day!

I make my own version of Greek salad. Chopped tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, red pepper, cubes of low fat feta , black olives if you like them [I don't], salt, pepper, dried oregano and lemon juice. You can add olive oil if you wish but I don't.
Really though you can make salads with anything - cheese, chicken, smoked mackerel, prawns etc. Use whatever salad veggies you like. Be carefull of the dressings that you add, they can be very high calorie. There are plenty of reduced fat dressings available although you can just use balsamic vinegar or lemon juice [that is what I do now and I don't miss mayo or salad dressings at all].
