Morning All,

Well done Emm - that does seem a good plan. I will try and do something tonight as well, as this week I am also at home before OH. Well done to your mum too - what a great weight loss! :T

Have just been in a meeting and am now really hungry. Might have my yoghurt in a minute (free on SW).

a guy who sits opposite me is a gym freak and he tells me off everyday now for not going to the gym he asked whether it is my resolution to not go anymore this year! cheeky sod lol. i feel so guilty now as i am paying membership! grrrr

Thanks Hadley

Oh Rups ignore the gym freak! It is none of his business how often you go to the gym and you need to put baby first. Check with the instructors what you can and can't do.

I am really hungy already. Had poridge this morning. Got salad for lunch again, with yesterday's apple as I forgot about it, cheese straws, fruit flakes and an orange.

Thanks Em that put a smile on my face.

yeah that is true. sometimes i do believe though some of the lot in the gym have no clue unless they are personal trainer. maybe need one session so can do stuff in the gym at least? i know the body pump lady is excellent and will guide me, so maybe i need to brave it and go tomorrow? yes i will..yeah this dude should mind his business.

your lunches always sound so yum! :-) last night i made some spag with sausages and pesto but hubby brought the excess for lunch and i just cooked mixed veggies and added them to the left over spag. hope it tastes nice

Em88

Yeah just do what you feel comfortable with, it doesn't matter what other people think (I know it is easier to say this than do it!).

My salad took ages to eat yesterday and wasn't that filling really. Still will be fine later. Might make some soup tonight. I am going to have a jacket sweet potatoe for dinner; when you say you have it with beans do you mean baked beans or like kidney beans etc Rups? Do you just !!!!! it like a normal potato and stick it in the oven till soft? Your lunch sounds yummy too Rups

Rups32

yeah just like the other normal potato and it takes even less time to cook! i just put a knife through to check if its soft and that could take around 40 -45 min so as i cook, i shove them in there to cook! :0) and yeah i have them with baked beans.. yum. i hate tuna otherwise would try that too. think you have lots of different stuff with it. now i crave cottage cheese. lol. so random..:)

the taste in my mouth is making me eat rubbish.. yesterday i counted and had as rubbish: a kitkat, then at home i got ravenous and while i cooked, i had cheese and onion crisps and THEN later i also had 3 shortbread biscuits! what is wrong with me?? i wish for healthier food when i get ravenous! bad me!!!

Em88

Sounts yummy. That is my dinner sorted today then; jacket sweet potato with beans and some more salad. I think I have seen a thing about mixed beans going well with it but will stick to beans tonight. OH is out so I can have that without him moaning, lol. He doesn't like sweet potato or jacket potatoes! He is so fussy and says it is my fault as he likes meat but I won't cook it haha.

Try not to beat yourself up about it Rups. As long as you are still eating lots of fruit and veg it isn't too bad. When I am pregnant (not for some time yet!) I intend to eat loads!!

Rups32

i said that Em, but it ends up being what you crave and sometimes i dont want veggies (most days). so last night i thought get them out of the freezer and just out some oil, garlic and chilli with some herbs etc and add the mixture to my spag. i am forcing myself. thankfully at work, i am eating bananas and satsumas. too scared to eat an apple in casei make noise. lol.

hmm another thing could be to add mince meat to the potatoes.
my hubby is like your OH. meat, meat, meat all the time! so i try and add bits and bobs when i can be bothered! dont know how last night imanaged to cook and wash up. i dont have that energy anymore. lol

Em88

If you try and balance it out so you have healthy as well as unhealthy then its alright. Haha I eat my apple on my walk home normally but I left it sitting on my desk yesterday my mistake! I am in a room on my own 3 days a week though so don't worry about the noise, and on the days my collegue is in she is on a diet too so eating lots of fruit and veg between us.

Heehee OH doesn't get meat very often; normally only if we eat out or if we have roast or chips and chicken as I won't cook meat (aside from pies or chicken that is all coated and I don't have to touch it haha). If he wants meat he has to cook it but he is too lazy! heehee

Rups32

yeah makes sense to mix rubbish with good food. are you vegeterian then Em? my mum is and she has a separate pan for meat only stuff.

thankfully my spag with veggies tastes ok and i got some squares to eat with that and some tropical juice
