    Hey all -

    Sorry for abandoning you all - not sure if any of you read my diary or read the NSD thread, but there's been a bit of a crisis at NBTY towers that is only now working itself out!

    I have been on the straight and narrow though - last week I was eating tinned soup and lentil / veg stew. Om nom.

    Today have a last things in the fridge before shopping salad - spinach, boiled potato and beetroot anyone?

    Still doing well guys - homemade leek and potato soup for lunch yesterday and today (so nice I didn't mind having it 2 days running!!).

    Tomorrow is salad - I'm having a healthy week after overindulging last week!!

    put in extra effort today - made some wraps (never done wraps before!) with lettuce, cheese and veggie hot dog, with some asparagus, lettuce, spinach and beetroot on the side. Healthy, but lets see if I last until dinner on it.
