Hey everyone, hope you all had a good day. I was at college again, today's course was much more interesting than the other day. I made lunch to take with me, thinking it wasn't included today and then it was. Typical. Made the most of the free food and will use the stuff i had done for lunch towards dinner.
How exciting about your shoes Jo, let us know how they go.
Daisie, baking isn't the best but is tasty. Could you make a cake your OH will eat that you won't? That is what I would do.
Good luck with the weigh ins everyone

There is no baking I won't eat! (unless it contains egg or milk and thus would kill me....but I can't bake one with those things in anyway because I can't be in the same room!) I might make cupcakes and have one and take the rest to work. They keep asking why I'm not baking for them anymore!0 -
Arrhh fair enough Daisie. I don't like fruit in my cake so sometimes do that for hubbie, or things with marshmallows.
Going to make dinner in a minute, we are having falafel, pitta, couscous, salad, dips and wedges. Yummy but pretty healthy still.0 -
Well I made butterfly cakes and plain vanilla fairycakes with sultanas in them....and the majority of them are going in the freezer! The butterfly cakes are yummy but a bit messy so I won't take them to work. Not sure how well they will freeze with the buttercream in but it's worth a try and better than me scoffing them all!0

I have frozen butterfly cakes before- it works fine as long as you defrost naturally.

Well it is a stay the same for me.
hopefully this is just my body getting used to food again, because I thought I had been pretty good (apart from the fudges) this week. Accordin to the wii I have 2 days to drop a lb to reach my goal... Tempted to weigh in again tomorrow, but going out for drinks tonight, so I know it won't be friendly! :T0 -
Its better than putting on again though Jo so still a good job, I lost half a pound this week.0

I know... It's just soo annoying as I was at 9st 6 when I was ill! Now I'm back at 9st 8! But I had a new target set in my head when I was ill, but now am above the wii target! Grr!
Ok this morning I had a sympathy coffee n greggs cookie!

Morning everyone,
Your bakes sound yummy Daisie, well done on freezing them though! I wouldn't be able to resist once they were there.
Well done on the losses and the STS
I have lost 1 lb since Monday which is pretty good. Was hoping for 2 but considering it has only been 4 days I am happy enough with 1.
Having been away from the office yesterday I have come back to 2 massive piles of files so won't be on much today. Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend. Good luck to Olokia!! Hope it goes brilliantly for you
Enjoy it!
