    I had a slight change of plan last night - I was too hungry to wait for a batch of bread dough to prove to make pies, so I wrapped the savoury mince up in a couple of wholemeal wraps instead. It probably added 100 or so calories, but that's not disastrous (I hope).

    Today is:

    B - wholemeal wrap with 2 tsp of cashew nut butter and a sliced banana
    L - small portion of savoury mince with another wholemeal wrap (I'm trying to empty out the freezer so want to eat them all rather than freezing some as I usually would); mango yoghurt; two fresh figs
    D - large fishcake with mushy peas and a portion of chard with tomatoes

    [A] - happy Eid to you!
    Back after a very long break!

    So yesterday I ended up adding a glass of wine, a hot chocolate and a small portion of pasta with my meatloaf :( so today needs to be very good to make up for it! Rubbish because I am so hungry and miserable, I just want to eat and eat and eat.

    B - banana porridge, tea
    L - 2 rice cakes, tea
    D - will be vegetable soup

    I know that is not very much at all and I would not do that day after day, but I feel if I am to lose anything this week I need to balance out yesterday's excesses.
  • Hi Folks,

    It’s turned out a beautiful autumnal day here after a chilly wet start, the only thing I hate about this time of year is the dopey, sugar craving wasps – dealt with three this morning already – sorry guys…if I’m cutting out sugar then so are they!!

    I do feel so much better when the sun’s out, so I got going and finished off washing down the lounge ceiling/walls.…. :j yay..go me!!

    Just had my lunch and the tuna flan turned out very moreish so I’ve had way too much pastry over the past two days – the other half if it is now safely ensconced in the freezer.

    Meal plan today =
    B – Yoghurt & mixed berries
    L – Tuna & sweetcorn flan, tomato & beetroot
    D – Meatballs in onion gravy, mashed swede, brussel sprouts
    Jan - June Grocery spends = £531.61
    July - Grocery spends = £119.54
    Aug - Grocery spends = £20.63

    Hello x
    Another day of hardly any food and have I lost weight? Have I heck:mad:
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    OH had an appointment at the hospital today, and we decided to have mcd before heading home, not good, lol! :o However we did have a single cheeseburger, small fries and medium milkshake, instead of double CB, large fries & large MS.

    On the way home, the escalator on the underground was very busy so, at my suggestion, we decided to walk up the stairs...big mistake, lol, as it was a lot steeper & further up than I thought & by the time we got to the top I was almost dying, it certainly got my heart rate up, lol, & took a few minutes to get my breath back!

    Morning chums,last nights pub quiz meal was a jacket spud and beans and grated cheese.Very nice it was as well.Tuesday nights are my fun nights as I meet with lots of my friends and we have a great laugh at the quiz.We go more for the social enjoyment than actual wanting to win anything and at £2.00 for the quiz and a quid for a drink its a cheap night out :):)
    But I am always back on the diet the next morning
    By the way we came third :):)
    So this morning its

    B: cereal,banana

    L: soup and crackers

    D: left over cooked cabbage dry fried with a squirt of low cal oil and diced onion and diced up left over spud and a poached egg on top.Probably not all that low calorie but it uses up some left overs :):)

    E: if the sun comes out I shall have a walk around to the country park and a wander along the Saxon Way by the river.Its a good mile and a bit walk but as it can be a bit windy down there I shall have to make sure I'm wrapped up well.Might take a small bag and see if I can find any blackberries for my freezer
    Cheers chums, onwards and upwards
